The 'Vintage Secret' range from McPherson Wines celebrates the quiet, hidden corners of Victoria's vineyards where exceptional fruit thrives. Crafted under the watchful eye of winemaker Jo Nash, this Chardonnay is sourced from select vineyards across Victoria, capturing the region's signature sunshine and cool night breezes. The winemaking philosophy focuses on preserving the vibrant, primary fruit characters of peach, melon, and citrus, enhanced by subtle oak influence and light lees stirring to impart a delicate creaminess. It is a testament to the McPherson family's decades-long commitment to producing highly approachable, expressive wines that reflect the friendly, down-to-earth spirit of Australian hospitality.
