History

McPherson Wines had its beginnings in 1968 when the brand was launched. In 1974, Andrew McPherson established his own winery facility and took over as winemaker. The winery continued to grow for five more years until it was sold so that McPherson could pursue other roles in the booming Australian wine industry.

In 1993 McPherson Wines was reformed with principal vineyard holdings in the Murray-Darling region near Mildura, one of Australia's most exciting new regions for grape growing. Then the acquisition of 350 acres in the Goulburn Valley of "red brick dust" soil with deep gravel offered even greater promise for cooler climate red wines in the McPherson portfolio, which saw the introduction of the Basilisk range and the newly released Chapter Three brand.

In early 2000, McPherson Wines put the finishing touches on a new winery and state-of-the-art bottling facility in Victoria. Located just outside the town of Nagambie, the new winery is 110km (60 miles) north of Melbourne, near the banks of the Goulburn River.
