✨ Technical Specifications
Lucie's Promise Grenache Rosé is a heartfelt tribute within the McPherson family portfolio, named in honor of founder Andrew McPherson's granddaughter, Lucie. This wine represents a personal promise of quality, warmth, and family legacy. Sourced from select vineyards across South Eastern Australia, the wine leverages the region's abundant sunshine to coax vibrant, expressive red fruit characters from the Grenache grape. Crafted under a philosophy of minimal intervention to preserve its bright, youthful energy, this rosé undergoes cool fermentation in stainless steel. The result is a beautifully pale, aromatic, and refreshing wine that captures the lively, approachable spirit of contemporary Australian winemaking.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1968, McPherson Wines is an esteemed family-owned estate deeply rooted in the diverse microclimates of Central Victoria, particularly the riverine soils of Nagambie Lakes and the granite outcrops of the Strathbogie Ranges. Co-founded by Jock McPherson and spearheaded by his son Andrew McPherson, the winery bridges estate-grown fruit with selective regional parcels to produce expressive, fruit-forward wines that over-deliver on varietal definition. Under the seasoned stewardship of chief winemaker Jo Nash, the cellar exercises a philosophy centered on pristine fruit preservation, judicial oak integration, and textural clarity. The house portfolio balances classic Australian standards with dynamic modern styling, spanning from the textured Laneway Chardonnay and mineral-laced MWC Pinot Gris to vibrant Rhone and Italian varietals such as Bella Luna Fiano and Aquarius Marsanne Viognier, embodying the generous warmth and accessible sophistication of Victoria's viticultural landscape.
