✨ Technical Specifications
McPherson Cellars' 'La Herencia' is a celebrated red blend from the Texas High Plains, crafted by pioneering winemaker Kim McPherson. The name translates to 'The Heritage,' paying homage to the Spanish influence on Texas history and the natural affinity of Iberian grape varieties to the state's unique terroir. Grown in the high-altitude, sun-drenched vineyards of the Texas High Plains AVA, where sandy loam soils and dramatic diurnal temperature shifts prevail, this wine showcases the exceptional potential of warm-climate varieties. It is typically aged in a combination of French and American oak to develop a harmonious balance of ripe dark fruit, earthy undertones, and refined tannins.
