Winemaker Notes
The grapes for this Pinot Noir were picked from single vineyards located in North Eastern Victoria. Crushed during the cool of night to retain their varietal character, while modern winemaking techniques were employed throughout the winemaking process. Fermentation took place in sweeping arm red fermenters, giving the wine a dense, rich color and allowing for gentle and maximum flavor extraction. The aroma is enticing with intense plum, cherry and strawberry fruit with a hint of spicy oak. The fresh fruit momentum continues on the palate with vibrant plum and dark stone fruits finishing with some firm acid, beautiful tannins and integrated oak.

Wine Enthusiast
This wine offers heaps of bright strawberry and raspberry fruit underpinned by white spice, floral and savory oak notes. A touch of heat can be felt from the alcohol but is compensated for by the mouthful of fruit, herbs, savory tannins and lifted acidity. Pair this medium- to full-weight Pinot with grilled portobellos or pork chops.

In 1993 Andrew established vineyard holdings in the Murray Darling region near Mildura. This region principally surrounds the mighty Murray River, the source of much Australian folklore due to its beauty and majesty. Andrew had his eye on the red brick soil of the Goulburn Valley in Central Victoria, and acquired 350 acres which offered great promise for cool climate red wines which today are used to grow the grapes for the Chapter Three and Basilisk wines.
In early 2000, McPherson Wines opened its world class bottling facility in Victoria. Located next to the winery just outside the town of Nagambie in Central Victoria, we bottle our own wines along with premium wines from wineries all over Victoria.
