✨ Technical Specifications
McPherson's XV Pure Red is a contemporary celebration of South Eastern Australia's signature blending heritage. Crafted to showcase a seamless harmony between structure and rich fruit, this wine typically brings together the classic Australian partnership of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Sourced from selected vineyards across the sun-drenched plains of South Eastern Australia, the fruit benefits from warm daytime temperatures and cool nights, allowing the grapes to develop intense flavor profiles while retaining balanced acidity. Winemaker Jo Nash focuses on preserving the primary fruit characteristics, utilizing modern temperature-controlled fermentation and careful oak maturation to deliver an approachable, velvety red with excellent depth and smooth tannins.
