"Larger-than life Brian McGuigan is content these days driving a tractor and caring for a number of Hunter Valley vineyards. Those who know him well will tell you he just loves getting his hands dirty among his beloved vines... Even though Big Brian is no longer in the corporate driver’s seat, McGuigan remains one of the most recognised and trusted brands in Australia. Having younger brother Neil as production chief certainly helps preserve the McGuigan influence. The latest batch of McGuigan wines, crafted by Senior Winemaker James Evers, provide compelling evidence of the brand’s quality standing. The 2006 The Shortlist Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006 The Shortlist Barossa Valley Shiraz and 2007 The Shortlist Adelaide Hills Chardonnay (all $26) and 2006 Hand Made Langhorne Creek Shiraz ($45) easily meet the long-established McGuigan criteria of over-delivering in quality and value.”John Fordham, 'On The Grapevine', The Sunday Telegraph, June 22, 2008 Return
