Producer Profile
They are an independent, family owned winery making wines that are served in beautiful bars and restaurants around the globe. Since their origin in 1968, they have steadily established ourselves as Australia’s least well known top twenty winery, happily enjoying our under the radar reputation as a quality, efficient and innovative winemaker for those in the know.
Their aim, with every wine they make, is to produce excellent, high quality wines combining the care and attention of a micro producer with the efficiencies of a major player. This attention to detail and quest for perfection has seen them steadily attract like-minded partners across the globe, and allowed them to grow into the winery you see today.
Winemaking
Fruit for the McPherson Moscato was harvested from a select vineyard within the Swan Hill region of Victoria. The fruit was crushed, pressed and cold settled before being inoculated. The juice was also fined prior to inoculation to ensure that the final wine is smooth and easy to drink. The fermentation was conducted at very cool temperatures ranging between 8-10°C, with the fermentation period taking 10 days. To make certain sugar / alcohol balance was perfect, the ferment was measured daily for sugar and alcohol levels. The final wine was then fined, cold stabilised and filtered within a week to ensure the retention of the spritz and to keep the wine as fresh and fruity as possible. Varietal composition 100% Muscat
Tasting Note
Cotton candy in colour, this Moscato has lifted floral aromas, with a palate filled with flavours of strawberries and rose petals
Food Matching
Easy drinking with low alcohol and a slight spritz on the palate, our Moscato is perfect for a Sunday afternoon tipple. Served chilled with lime and mint at a garden party, or it partners beautifully with a spicy Asian curry or Thai salad.
