The McGuigan's love of wine began with Owen McGuigan, born in the Hunter Valley 1869. Working in the vineyards became the life's blood and passion for all of Owen McGuigan's family. From those early pioneering days, successive generations have been at the forefront of the Australian wine industry, shaping some of the nation's great brands and most memorable vintages. McGuigan invite you to savour the inimitable experience which is Hunter Valley Chardonnay. Grapes were harvested from estate owned and operated vineyards and treated to a gentle air bag press. Juices were partially clarified before fermentation in French oak barriques wich infuse a lovely buttery oak influence to the final wine.
