Founder Brian McGuigan adopted the central symbol of the family crest, the lion, to reflect inspiration \u0026amp; the McGuigan's enduring spirit \u0026amp; passion for producing great quality Australian wine. Those proud family traditions are still at the heart of McGuigan winemaking values today.

The climate is hot with high evaporation rates \u0026amp; generally low rainfall, making irrigation essential. The climate is also continental, resulting in long sunny days and noticeably cooler nights. Modern viticultural \u0026amp; winemaking techniques mean that the climate can be seen as one of the region's strengths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was crushed and de-stemmed to varying sizes and styles of red fermenters where the fruit was fermented on oak at cooler temperatures of 18 - 22C for 5 - 7days. Fermenting at cooler temperatures allows the fruit flavours to be nurtured and enables retention of varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the majority of the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks with a percentage of the wine transferred onto French \u0026amp; American Oak.
