McPherson Aquarius Marsanne Viognier 2021
Flavor Profile
Famous for their personality-packed wines, the McPherson family is a favorite of top critic James Halliday (Australia’s answer to Robert Parker), who rates their estate an impressive four stars and writes that the quality of their wines “is unfailingly good.” The McPhersons’ wines are also BIG favorites of our customers, which is why we can’t wait for you to taste this thrilling new white.
Head winemaker Jo Nash sourced the fruit for Aquarius from prime-sited vineyards in Victoria, which The World Atlas of Wine calls “the most interesting, the most dynamic and certainly the most varied of Australia’s wine states.” This elegant white marries two varieties that are originally from France’s Rhône Valley, Marsanne and Viognier, both of which reach unparalleled ripeness in the brilliant Australian sunshine.
In the glass, a lovely golden hue gives way to enticing orchard fruit, honeysuckle and subtle spice aromas. The palate is rich and creamy, with juicy peach and apricot flavors. Hints of spice and a fresh mineral streak frame the long, smooth finish.
A delicious match for grilled seafood, lightly spicy vegetarian curries and more. Hurry to claim your share of this vibrant Aussie exclusive.
