Deep purple in colour, with an intense aroma of dark fruits and spice, the McPherson Shiraz expresses true varietal character. With subtly integrated American Oak balanced with ripe plums and blackberries, this wine has excellent structure and length. Secondary aromas of chocolate and spice add intrigue and complexity to the wine with soft tannins creating a supple and smooth wine with impressive length.
WINEMAKING / VITICULTURE: The grapes for this Shiraz 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 signature McPherson style. Fermentation took place in sweeping arm red fermenters, giving the wine a denser, richer colour and allowing for gentle flavour extraction. Softer tannins are also a result of this process, an important feature of the McPherson Shiraz style. Careful attention was also paid to the oak selection for the Shiraz. This wine was aged on American oak for approximately 8 months, giving the wine a noticeable,
but not an excessive oak influence. The inclusion of some central Victorian fruit into the blend has boosted both the colour and the intensity of flavour.

| Wijngoed informatie | "McPherson Wines had its beginnings in 1969 when the brand was launched. In 1974, McPherson established his own winery facility and took over as winemaker. The winery continued to grow for five more years until it was sold so that McPherson could pursue other roles in the booming Australian wine industry.In 1993 McPherson Wines was reformed with principal vineyard holdings in the Murray-Darling region near Mildura, one of Australia's most exciting new regions for grape growing. The recent acquisition of 350 acres in the Goulburn Valley of "red brick dust" soil with deep gravel offers even greater promise for cooler climate red wines in the McPherson portfolio.In early 2000, McPherson Wines put the finishing touches on a new winery in Victoria. Located just outside the town of Nagambie, the new winery is 110km (60 miles) north of Melbourne, near the banks of the Goulburn River." |
