✨ Technical Specifications
The MWC Chardonnay represents McPherson's dedication to crafting expressive, texturally complex wines from premium cool-climate vineyards in Victoria. Sourced primarily from sites that benefit from cool night temperatures, this wine undergoes barrel fermentation using wild yeasts, followed by regular lees stirring in French oak. This traditional technique imparts a creamy, velvety mouthfeel and subtle nutty complexity, beautifully balancing the vibrant natural acidity and bright stone fruit characters typical of Victorian Chardonnay. It stands as a testament to the modern Australian style, moving away from heavy oak toward elegance and structural harmony.
