Description
"It's splendidly ripe and inviting with aromas of dark plum, cherry, clove, and roasted hazelnut on the nose. The palate displays good weight and succulent fruit flavours, wonderfully framed by fleshy texture and silky tannins, finishing lingering and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2025
"Deep, spicy plum, black cherry compote and creamy vanilla meet chocolate box aromatics. The palate is dense, jammy and ripe, full of bramble fruit, toasty oak and a warm sweep of black pepper and nutmeg on the finish. It’s bold, no-fuss, and rewarding - made for sharing" The Wine Writer
Deep purple. Black cherry, blueberry and mixed spice. Ripe blackberries, plums and a hint of pepper on the palate.
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 French oak for approximately 12 months, giving the wine a noticeable, but not excessive, oak influence. The inclusion of almost 50% Central Victorian fruit into the blend has boosted both the colour and the intensity of flavour.
Food Pairing: Try this wine with Char-grilled steak or a rich, spicy tomato based pasta dish such as Spaghetti Bolognaise or Lasagne – a perfect match!
