McPherson Andrews Reserve Shiraz Cabernet 2019

Winemaking note The grapes for this Reserve Shiraz Cabernet were picked and crushed during the cool of night, thus ensuring the retention of varietal character, while modern winemaking techniques were employed throughout, all of which help to create the famous McPherson style. Fermentation took place in sweeping arm red fermenters, giving the wine a denser, richer colour and allowing for gentle flavour extraction. Careful attention was also paid to the oak selection for the Shiraz Cabernet. This wine was aged on French oak for nine months, giving the wine a smooth and elegant oak influence. Andrew McPherson established his winery in 1968 and is known for his famous Australian Shiraz. He has released this special Reserve Shiraz Cabernet, made from the best grapes of the vintage, as the flagship wine for the McPherson Family Winery.

McPherson La Vue Victorian Moscato 2019

The grapes for this Moscato were specially selected from our premium Victorian vineyards. The fruit was crushed, pressed and cold settled in our winery, before the juice was fined, resulting in a wine that is smooth and luxurious. Fermentation took ten days and was conducted at very cool temperatures that ranged between 8-10°C. To ensure perfect balance the ferment was measured daily to monitor sugar and alcohol levels. The final wine was then fined, cold stabilised and filtered within a week to ensure the retention of the spritz and to keep the wine fresh and fruity.

It’s a wrap for another season and once again Mother Nature has dished us out a few challenges! Due to an extremely hot January vintage began a week or two later than normal, and once we got picking whites and reds rolled in at a cracking pace. White yields were lower than anticipated whilst reds were on par with previous years. Overall it was another great vintage with bright and fresh whites and beautifully coloured, rich reds.

McPherson Three Vineyard Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2019

This wine was crafted from 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir grapes, chosen from our three best performing vineyards. Grapes were picked and crushed during the cool of night to retain their fresh, varietal flavours. The juice was then divided into three select parcels. Each parcel underwent a different treatment such as malolactic fermentation; fermentation and time with French oak; or spending an extended period on yeast lees. Each treatment resulted in an individually flavoured parcel of wine, and the unique character and personality of the final blend is a result of the special handling of these separate parcels.

McPherson La Vue Victorian Pinot Gris 2019

The fruit for the La Vue Pinot Gris was sourced from the Goulburn Valley and the Victorian side of the Murray River. Warm sunny days and cool evening temperatures in the Goulburn Valley are perfect for the growing of good quality Pinot Gris and the blending of the different growing areas adds interesting complexity and layers to the wine. The wine was fermented in various parcels, with a small portion receiving light oak treatment, with extended lees contact to build structure yet retain good fruit balance. As Pinot Gris is naturally a red wine grape, we have allowed the wine to retain its natural colour during the winemaking process, resulting in a fuller bodied wine with a lovely aromatic profile.

McPherson La Vue Victorian Riesling 2020

This wine is sourced from grapes grown in our Goulburn Valley vineyards, based in the region of Central Victoria. The parcels of fruit were harvested separately over a three week period in March. Picking and crushing was during the cool of the night to maintain fruit freshness. Fermentation at cool temperatures for 14 days in stainless steel fermenters has helped enhance the pure, fresh clean flavours.
