It is this commitment to quality grape and wine production that has seen McGuigan produce outstanding wines for both domestic and international wine drinkers and it is the McGuigan spirit and dedication to modern Australian winemaking that still drives us today.

Christened 'the flavour of Australia', Black Label is a reliable, easy-drinking range of wines and a runaway success since launching in 1992.
