In 1913, John James McWilliam planted the first vines at Hanwood, just south of the thriving agricultural town of Griffith. In 1917 he established McWilliam's Hanwood winery. Individual parcels of Pinot Grigio are hand picked based on stylistic parameters, ripeness and style. Delivered to the Hanwood wineworks, fruit is promptly crushed into drainers with skins removed to minimise transfer of colour. Juices are inoculated to yeasts chosen for their aromatic potential, treated to a cool temperature controlled vinification and kept on lees with a small battonage program to add richness. Hanwood is fermented to dry and racked, assembled and cold stabilized before filtration. Alcohol 11.5%
