This July and August, E. J. McDougall is proud to join The Real Review Taste the Top Wineries events in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, bringing a selection of our latest releases to collectors, trade professionals, and fine wine lovers.
It is an opportunity to taste our wines firsthand, meet the people behind the label, and explore the vineyards, philosophy, and craftsmanship that define our approach to Fine Wines of Australia.
The Wines
2024 McLaren Vale Old Vine Shiraz
Spicy, peppery and intensely concentrated, this old-vine Shiraz delivers remarkable depth and structure. The vintage was awarded 97 points and a Platinum Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2026.
2024 McLaren Vale Old Vine Grenache
Perfumed and expressive, with rose petal, graphite, warm spice, red cherry, cranberry and wild raspberry. Silky, chalky tannins provide an elegant structure and a long, refined finish.
2025 Margaret River Chardonnay
Bright grapefruit and white peach combine with vibrant natural acidity, precise mineral character and a chalky structure, creating a Chardonnay defined by purity, balance and length.
The E. J. McDougall collection has also received outstanding recognition from leading Australian wine critics and international voices, including Erin Larkin of Wine Advocate, Andrew Caillard MW, Huon Hooke, Marcus Ellis and Nick Ryan.
