Macushla ('my darling' in Gaelic) showcases an outstanding complexity and concentration that seems unusual in Gibbston. Alan Brady carefully chooses grapes from vineyards that are the best representation of Gibbston.

Macushla proves that Gibbston, one of the coolest subregions of Central Otago, produces wines with outstanding finesse and depth. The first sip of this wine allows you to understand why Macushla is a unique label and why we certainly believe this is a great candidate for any cellar, and a ‘must’ for any serious Pinot Noir collector.

Nose: Some blue fruits and cherries with earthy savoury notes.

Palate: Lucious, mouth filling palate. Soft tannins with very well balanced oak and tannins.

No fining, Vegan and Vegetarian friendly wine.

100% Handpicked and de-stemmed from Gibbston
Aged in barrel for 10 months in 22% new oak

Open this bottle 1 - 2 hours before, if possible at 14 - 16 degrees Celsius. If you can't wait 1 - 2 hours, pour the wine into a carafe or a decanter. The Macushla label needs a little bit more air than the other 2022 Wild Irishman's wines.

Enjoy it today or keep until 2035.
