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.

WINEMAKING

Winemaking note Our 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.

Varietal composition 100% Shiraz

Alcohol 14.8%

Winemaker Jo NashThe Don’t Tell Gary Shiraz! A juicy, easy-drinking red that needs no introduction—especially not to Gary. Keep it quiet, though…
