✨ Technical Specifications
McPherson Cellars, located in Lubbock, Texas, is a cornerstone of the Lone Star State's modern wine industry. Founded by winemaker Kim McPherson to honor his father, Dr. Clinton 'Doc' McPherson—a legendary pioneer who first planted wine grapes in the Texas High Plains in the 1970s—the winery excels in crafting Mediterranean-style wines perfectly suited to the region's warm, arid climate. This Mourvèdre Rosé is a brilliant expression of that vision. Sourced from the high-altitude, sandy soils of the Texas High Plains AVA, where intense daytime sun and cool desert nights preserve vital acidity, the Mourvèdre grape thrives in conditions reminiscent of its native Southern France. The fruit is gently pressed and fermented cold in stainless steel to preserve its bright, delicate fruit profile, yielding a dry, pale rosé celebrated for its crisp minerality, vibrant red berry notes, and subtle herbal undertones.
