Australian wine regions

Australia is a large country - Margaret River is further from the Hunter Valley than Jerez in Spain is from Tokaji in Hungary - so, despite the distinctive national approach to wine, Australian wines are not all the same. The wines of Margaret River and of the Hunter Valley differ as much as sherry and tokay do. The three most important wine-producing states are South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. As well as bulk production, they each have specific premium wine regions.

Summary:
The best wines to emanate from the Hanwood winery are from other regions, notably the Barwang Vineyard at Hilltops in New South Wales, Coonawarra and Eden Valley; as McWilliam's viticultural resources have expanded, so have they been able to produce regional blends from across southeastern Australia under the Hanwood label which, in the last few years, have been startlingly good. Exports to many countries, the most important being the UK, the US, via a major distribution joint venture with Paterno Home, Germany and New Zealand.

Also superb fortified wines including MCW11 Liqueur Muscat and 10-Year-Old Hanwood Tawny Port heading a much larger range of Sherries which still form an important part of the business.
