Proudly family owned since 1979, Maxwell wines own seventy acres of prime McLaren Vale vineyards. They are renowned for making rich wines that are evocative of the region and imbued with great finesse. The Maxwell’s believe ‘life’s too short to drink bad wine’, a philosophy that we whole-heartedly agree with. They are also responsible for making a range of mead (fermented Honey), these are some of the oldest fermented drinks known to humanity.

Maxwell Location

In the mid 90’s, Maxwell grew and grew until it was obvious that a move was necessary. The entire winery was rebuilt on vineyards the family owned in the heart of McLaren Vale. It overlooks the township and is built into the side of a Limestone hill. It’s the perfect space for the combined winery and cellar door allowing visitors to view a working winery./p>

Maxwell Wine Styles

With grapes sourced from McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills the wines range from aromatic whites, Chardonnay and Verdelho, sparkling and a Rosé. In the reds there’s Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache as well as a white Port and a Tawny.

Maxwell Wine Brands

All the premium wines go under the Maxwell name but there is also a range of everyday drinking wines called the Mount Bold Range sold exclusively at the cellar door.

Maxwell Winery

The Maxwell vineyards are some of the most revered in the district, positioned amidst rolling hills and benefit from cooling breezes off the gulf of St.Vincent. The vines are planted on top of solid limestone with some of the oldest vines planted back in 1953. In the winery there are five open fermenters designed for hand plunging, each hold about two tonnes of grapes and allow premium small batch vinification to occur. A barrel cellar cut into the limestone is where the best barrels of wine are kept ensuring the wine is kept at a constant temperature.
