McWilliam’s introduces a new age of everyday elegance this winter with the launch of contemporary table wine collection, TERRA.

As more Australians embrace relaxed, at-home entertaining and midweek dining, TERRA is designed to complement shared plates and spontaneous occasions, naturally finding its place at the centre of the table.

Available nationally, the range features four varietals: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Shiraz.

Honouring the brand’s rich legacy, TERRA blends McWilliam’s six generations of winemaking expertise with the defining characteristics of the region, resulting in wines with balance, vibrancy and depth of flavour, and a collection that feels both expressive and effortlessly approachable.

“TERRA reflects how Australians are enjoying wine today – fresh, generous and made to be shared.

With this range, we’re proud to bring McWilliam’s heritage to a new generation of wine drinkers in a way that feels more contemporary and relaxed. TERRA is all about taking the formality out of wine and bringing it back to everyday life, whether that’s a casual dinner, a long lunch or time around the table with friends.

By focusing on approachability, versatility and pure enjoyment, we’re reconnecting wine with how people actually live and making it a natural part of
more moments, not just special occasions,” said Scott McWilliam, 6th Generation Family

Member and Fine Wine Educator.
Visually, TERRA makes a statement on shelf and on the table, with a distinctive pewter thumbprint detail on the label acting as a modern maker’s mark, a nod to the hands that have shaped McWilliam’s wines across six generations. It’s a subtle symbol of provenance, family and craftsmanship, reinterpreted for a new era.

McWilliam’s TERRA wines are available now from major and select independent retailers nationally, and www.mcwilliams.com.au at RRP $19.00.

TASTING NOTES
TERRA Shiraz 2024

Lifted aromas of red plum and dark cherry, layered with spices and subtle cedar notes. Medium- bodied and generous, this wine bursts with juicy dark cherry and plum, framed by soft tannins.

Matured in a selection of French oak formats, it carries cinnamon spice and subtle chocolate notes resulting in a silky finish. Enjoy with a cheese and charcuterie board, quail or and lighter game meats, or chocolate-based desserts such as chocolate torte, berry compote or Bavarian- style cakes.

TERRA Chardonnay 2025
Bright aromas of ripe white peaches, honeydew melon and lemon characters, complemented by subtle almond notes. Refreshing notes of white nectarine and citrus lead the palate, layered with a gentle creamy texture and a whisper of French oak. The finish is long and soft, driven by bright acidity and lingering fruit characters. Best paired with butter poached seafood or grilled chicken along with creamy mashed potatoes.

TERRA Pinot Noir 2025
Lifted aromas of strawberry and red cherry, complemented by subtle hints of earthy notes. A medium-bodied wine showcasing vibrant fruit characters, beautifully balanced by subtle oak and crisp varietal tannins. Lightly oaked, with a small portion matured in contact with French oak, it delivers a smooth tannin finish and generous fruit length. Best paired with creamy chicken and mushroom risotto, flatbreads or pizza with mushrooms, or the sweet-savoury delight of Peking duck pancakes.

TERRA Sauvignon Blanc 2025
An elegant Sauvignon Blanc revealing lifted herbaceous aromas and vibrant tropical notes.
Refreshing and crisp, the palate bursts with vibrant aromatics, showcasing tropical passionfruit, zesty citrus, and bright herbaceous notes. Soft and easy drinking, with balanced acidity.
