Viticulture Notes

The grapes for this Shiraz were picked and crushed during the cool of night, thus ensuring the retention of varietal character, while modern winemaking techniques were employed throughout, all of which help to create the signature McPherson style. Fermentation took place in sweeping arm red fermenters, giving the wine a denser, richer colour and allowing for gentle flavour extraction. Softer tannins are also a result of this process, an important feature of the McPherson Shiraz style. Careful attention was also paid to the oak selection for the Shiraz. This wine was aged on French oak for approximately 8 months, giving the wine a noticeable, but not an excessive oak influence. The inclusion of some central Victorian fruit into the blend has boosted both the colour and the intensity of flavour.

Wine Description

Andrew’s Shiraz is a deep purple with delicious ripe blackberries, plums and a hint of pepper on the palette. This is a full bodied modern Australian wine with an impressive length and a great finish. Try this wine with char-grilled steak or a rich, spicy tomato based pasta dish such as spaghetti bolognese or lasagne… a perfect match!
