Maxwell Wines
McLaren Vale , South Australia
Winery Overview
Maxwell Wines is a premium boutique winery in the heart of McLaren Vale, South Australia.
The Maxwell estate vineyards are some of the most favourably positioned in the McLaren Vale district. These one hundred acres lie on south facing slopes , within walking distance (just north) of the McLaren Vale township’s main street. Varieties grown in Maxwell’s vineyards include Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Nero dAvola, Grenache, Verdelho and Mouvedre.
Set on ancient limestone, and in such proximity to the moderating effects of the Gulf of St Vincent, the conditions in the vineyards are ideal for producing small batches of the highest quality grapes, full of intense character.
The oldest vineyard on the property, planted to Grenache, was established in 1928; the old Ellen Street Shiraz block below the winery in 1953.
The pinnacle of the Maxwell Estate is its Minotaur Reserve Shiraz - produced from the finest fruit from 50 year old vines, and aged up to 24 months in oak barrels before release.
The company is also famous for Maxwell Mead - a range of honey wines that are international award winners and benchmark styles. Distributed throughout Australia and exported to the world, Maxwell has grown to become the largest producer of mead in the Southern Hemisphere, and the most recognised commercially available mead brand in the Australian market.
