✨ Technical Specifications
The McPherson Three Vineyards Chardonnay is a thoughtful expression of Victorian viticulture, crafted by blending fruit from three distinct vineyard sites across the region. This multi-vineyard sourcing strategy allows winemaker Jo Nash to balance the vibrant, tropical fruit profiles of warmer microclimates with the bright, structural acidity found in cooler-climate parcels. Established in 1968, the McPherson family has long championed the diverse terroirs of Central Victoria. For this cuvée, the winemaking team utilizes a combination of stainless steel fermentation to preserve the pristine primary fruit characters, alongside subtle oak contact to introduce a delicate creaminess and soft spice. The result is a harmonious, contemporary Australian Chardonnay that honors the family's multi-generational commitment to approachable, high-quality 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.
