✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the sun-drenched Texas High Plains, this Sangiovese is a testament to the pioneering spirit of the McPherson family, who helped shape the modern Texas wine industry. Recognizing that the hot, dry climate and sandy loam soils of the High Plains closely mirror the Mediterranean conditions of southern Europe, winemaker Kim McPherson embraced Italian varietals. This Sangiovese captures the essence of its terroir, benefiting from high-altitude vineyards situated at approximately 3,000 feet, where cool night temperatures preserve the grape's natural acidity. The resulting wine is celebrated for its bright red fruit profile, subtle herbal undertones, and approachable, food-friendly structure.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Established in 2000 by winemaker Kim McPherson and opened within a converted 1930s Coca-Cola bottling plant in Lubbock's Depot District in 2008, McPherson Cellars honors the pioneering legacy of Dr. Clinton 'Doc' McPherson, a founding father of modern Texas viticulture. Sourcing fruit almost entirely from the wind-swept Texas High Plains AVA, the estate champions warm-climate cultivars uniquely adapted to the region's semi-arid, continental climate, sandy clay loam soils, and high elevations above 3,000 feet. Diurnal shifts preserve vibrant natural acidity, counteracting intense summer heat. Embracing a philosophy of planting to the land rather than mimicking Burgundian or Bordeaux archetypes, McPherson focuses predominantly on Rhône, Iberian, and Mediterranean varieties. Vinified primarily in stainless steel with judicious oak contact, benchmark white and rosé bottlings like The Queen Viognier, Reserve Roussanne, Picpoul Blanc, and Les Copains White deliver crisp minerality, balanced ripeness, and distinctive regional authenticity.
