✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted in the sun-drenched vineyards of Victoria, the McPherson Vintage Secret Shiraz represents the approachable, fruit-forward style that has made Australian Shiraz a global favorite. The 'Vintage Secret' name pays homage to the family's decades of winemaking experience in the Goulburn Valley and Murray Darling regions, where warm days and cool nights yield grapes with rich flavor concentration and balanced acidity. Winemaker Jo Nash carefully selects parcels of Shiraz to create a harmonious blend, utilizing modern temperature-controlled fermentation and gentle oak maturation. This process coaxes out classic notes of ripe plum, blackberry, and subtle cracked black pepper, delivering a smooth, medium-bodied red that captures the generous spirit of Central Victoria's terroir.
