β¨ Technical Specifications
Crafted as a tribute to the winery's founder, Andrew McPherson, the Andrew's Reserve Shiraz represents a dedicated selection of fruit showcasing the rich, generous style that put Australian Shiraz on the global map. Sourced from choice vineyards across South Eastern Australia, this wine benefits from the region's warm, sun-drenched days and cool nights, which foster optimal phenolic ripeness and concentrated fruit flavors. Traditionally fermented in stainless steel before undergoing aging in a combination of French and American oak, it strikes a harmonious balance between robust dark fruit characters and subtle, sweet spice. The wine reflects the McPherson family's multi-generational commitment to crafting approachable yet deeply flavorful wines that capture the spirit of the Australian landscape.
