Neil McGuigan says that the world is over ‘big’ Australian wines

Australian Vintage chief winemaker and CEO Neil McGuigan said he has noticed a clear trend by international buyers away from high alcohol Australian wine. Speaking with TheShout on the first day of ProWein in Düsseldorf, McGuigan said he has noticed the change in the attitudes from international buyers at the show. “There’s no doubt that the buyers are looking for more balance in Australian wine. No buyer has said they want the alcohol higher, not one person – so thank god we are over that.
