✨ Technical Specifications
The MWC Pinot Gris from McPherson Wines represents a thoughtful exploration of Victoria's cool-climate potential. Sourced from select vineyards across Central Victoria, this wine is crafted by winemaker Jo Nash with an emphasis on texture and complexity. Unlike simpler, mass-produced expressions, a portion of this Pinot Gris undergoes barrel fermentation and extended lees contact, imparting a luxurious mouthfeel and subtle savory notes that complement its bright pear and stone fruit flavors. This deliberate winemaking style pays homage to the classic, rich Pinot Gris of Alsace while maintaining the vibrant, sun-drenched fruit character that defines Australian viticulture.
