✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Moonstruck' range by McPherson Wines captures the whimsical spirit of night-harvesting in South Eastern Australia. To protect the delicate white grapes from the intense heat of the daytime sun, harvesting often takes place under the cool, star-lit canopy of the night sky—hence the name 'Moonstruck'. This practice preserves the grapes' natural acidity and bright, primary fruit aromas. Crafted under the watchful eye of winemaker Jo Nash, this white wine style is celebrated for its approachable, vibrant, and fruit-driven character. It represents a classic, easy-drinking expression of South Eastern Australia's sun-drenched vineyards, offering a clean, crisp finish that makes it perfect for casual gatherings and warm afternoons.
