95 Points International Wine Challenge
In stock
A great price for a highly awarded label. Gold Medal & 95/100 – International Wine Challenge 2024, Gold Medal & 95/100 – Melbourne International Wine Competition 2023, Gold Medal & 95/100 – Royal Queensland Wine Show 2023, Top Gold & 95/100 – National Cool Climate Wine Show Australia 2023, Gold Medal – Royal Perth Wine Show 2023. From a premium Victorian producer, "Don't Tell Gary" is an intriguing reference to the wine's quality-for-value. Fruit from an old vine single-vineyard was secretly fermented in lots of new and "ridiculously expensive" French oak. Gary is the name of the winery accountant who wasn't allowed to know about it. A remarkable wine for the price, the Don't Tell Gary is a steal!

Its Origins

"McPherson Wines is, by any standards, a substantial business. Its wines are largely produced for the export market, with enough sales in Australia to gain some measure of recognition here. Made at various locations from the estate vineyards and contract-grown grapes, they represent very good value. McPherson Wines is a joint venture between Andrew McPherson and Alister Purbrick (Tahbilk), both of whom have had a lifetime of experience in the industry. Quality is unfailingly good." — James Halliday

What The Critics Say

93/100 Wine Orbit, Sam Kim

"Richly fruited and instantly appealing, the wine shows black/blueberry, rich floral, toasty oak and warm spice aromas, followed by a generously expressed palate offering ripe fruit intensity with velvety mouthfeel, leading to a lengthy delectable finish. At its best: now to 2033. $24.00. www.mcphersonwines.com.au. June 2023." Drink 2023 - 2033

95/100 Gold Medal International Wine Challenge

"Melange of mulberry fragrant blueberry ripe fruit, smoke, meat spice, white pepper, good balance, juicy finish- good alcohol integrated."

Number 1 Shiraz in Cuisine Tasting 2020 (2018 vintage)

"This wine is all about allowing the fruit to sing and, boy, does it; this is a delicious example of a cooler-climate shiraz with floral blueberry and blackberry fruits and just a hint of pepper spice. The succulent berry and black-fruit characters flow on through to the palate with acidity and silky tannin polish supporting a luxe finish. Perfectly described by head judge Ben as a shiraz with poise, presence and personality."
