McPherson 'Don't Tell Gary' Shiraz 2022 (Australia)

Description

Blueberry, Oak, Spice

"Opulent and enticing, the perfumed bouquet shows black and purple fruit intensity, cedar, clove and dark chocolate aromas. It’s concentrated and richly textured in the mouth, delivering plump mouthfeel backed by layers of silky tannins, finishing superbly long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2034" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2024

Beautiful dark garnet colour. Black cherry, blueberry and mixed spice. Hints of pepper and soft oak spice are beautifully integrated with blackberry fruits and medium bodied silky tannins. Now - 2032.

This wine is a labour of love - one the accountants didn’t know about. In 2014, winemaker Jo Nash discovered an exeptional parcel of Shiraz which was gently crushed then stored away in some ridiculously expensive French Oak barrels to age for 12 months. The wine speaks for itself - minimal intervention, purity of fruit, Shiraz at its best. Made by a winemaker, not an accountant. Enjoy with abandon. Just....Don’t tell Gary.

Our DtG Shiraz is created by sourcing grapes from very select premium Victorian sites. As soon as primary fermentation was complete, the wine was racked into 500L French Oak Puncheons (80% New Oak, 20% 1 Year Old), where it was left to go through malolactic fermentation. With minimal intervention, the viticulture/winemaking was more important than ever.

Food Pairing: This is a special occasion wine. Drink with like minded wine lovers who enjoy sticking it to the man! Take a moment to admire the gorgeous colour of the wine, then it’s a perfect match to charcuterie and cheese, char-grilled steak, or a meat pie.
