McPherson Shiraz Premium Range 2008

Vinexus - Infinity of Wine Duitsland : « Deep purple in colour, with an intense aroma of dark fruits and spice, the 2008 McPherson Shiraz expresses true varietal character. With subtly integrated American Oak balanced with ripe plums and blackberries, this wine has excellent structure and length. Secondary aromas of chocolate and spice add intrigue and complexity to the wine with soft tannins creating a supple and smooth wine with impressive length. WINEMAKING / VITICULTURE: 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 American 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. HARVEST NOTES: The 2008 growing season started with an extreme heat wave which saw fruit ripen at a surprisingly fast rate. With a lack of good rainfall, harvesting began earlier than usual, however good bunch weights, small berries complimented by high sugar levels produced ripe, rich and intense flavours in the berries." »
