MARGARET RIVER (WA) & MCLAREN VALE (SA)

The arrival of E. J. McDougall wines marks a
new era in the world of high-end Australian wines. Oenologist Edward (Eddie) James McDougall, a well-known wine industry figure, has spent more than twenty years exploring prestigious vineyard locations worldwide and learning from top winemakers. His ultimate goal has always been to create an exceptional collection of fine Australian wines.

In 2010, McDougall fulfilled his dream by starting to produce and bottle wines under his own name. He is acknowledged in the industry as a négociant-éleveur, thanks to his enduring relationships with respected vineyard owners, landholders, and winemakers.

​

Both Eddie and winemaker Lilian Carter have been blessed to work in multiple wine regions within, and beyond, Australian shores. These opportunities have led them to admire and cherish the uniqueness of Australia’s viticultural landscapes even more deeply. They are passionate about the propensity for different grape varietals to thrive in diverse regions, and across a spectrum of vineyards. Ultimately, they are proudly Australian, dedicated to bringing the best of what they know and have experienced for the elevation of the status of Australian fine wine.
