More northern Rhône than Barossa in style, this is a fabulous, floral, spicy wine revealing dark berry fruits, violets and cracked pepper. It’s made by 135 year old McWilliam’s Wines, the most successful competitor at the prestigious Royal Sydney Wine Show for the past 18 consecutive years. Leading Aussie wine critic James Halliday calls McWilliam’s “truly the best of the best” and has awarded it the top 5 Red Stars for the last three years. Nestled in the Great Dividing Range in southern NSW, Hilltops is a paradise for grapes. In fact, it is fast becoming one of Australia’s most exciting cooler climate wine regions. You’ll discover why when you try this. Decant and enjoy with grilled lamb, pan-fried duck or mildly spicy vegetarian dishes.

"Lush, plush flavour and texture. Medium to full-bodied, sweet fruit: a superb wine and great value" Huon Hooke
