Don't Tell Gary Shiraz 2021

This wine is a labour of love - one the accountant (Gary) did not know about. The DTG Shiraz is a beautiful dark garnet colour with black cherry, blueberry and mixed spice on the nose. Hints of pepper and soft oak spice are beautifully integrated with blackberry fruits and medium bodied silky tannins.

Winemaker Joanne Nash: In 2014, I discovered an exceptional parcel of Shiraz from exclusive Victorian vineyards which I gently crushed, then tucked away in some ridiculously expensive French Oak barrels to age for 12 months. Enjoy with abandon. The wine speaks for itself. Minimal intervention. Purity of fruit. Shiraz at its best. But shhhh, Dont tell Gary DtG Shiraz is created by sourcing and harvesting only the very best premium Victorian fruit. 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.
