✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of Andrew McPherson's son, Angus, 'The Angus' Red Blend represents the family's multi-generational dedication to crafting approachable, character-rich wines from South Eastern Australia. This wine showcases the classic Australian tradition of blending complementary red varietals to achieve a harmonious balance of structure and vibrant fruit. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards across the region, where warm sunny days and cool nights allow the fruit to develop rich, ripe flavors while retaining fresh acidity. In the cellar, winemaker Jo Nash focuses on preserving this bright fruit profile, utilizing careful fermentation and subtle oak aging to create a smooth, medium-to-full-bodied red with soft tannins and a lingering finish. It is a testament to the McPherson family's warm, welcoming hospitality and their deep roots in the Australian winemaking landscape.
🍾 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.
