AUSTRALIA - McPherson Wine Co
Meet the Winemaker - Jo Nash
Jo graduated from Charles Stuart
university and began her career under
Andrew McPherson’s tutelage at the
family-owned winery, becoming head
winemaker in 2011.
She is perhaps best known for Don’t
Tell Gary, a wine she first made by
quietly by passing the annual budget
set by the winery’s general manager,
the eponymous Gary.
Jo Nash
McPherson is very much like a family. When you’re in the winery everyone is working together, everyone is
appreciated, everyone has a part to play. It’s certainly not a hierarchical structure, it’s a warm family environment
where everyone comes to work and does a great job. I’d extend that to the sales and marketing team too.
Andrew McPherson is lovely; he’s like a big teddy bear. He’s really gruff on the outside but warm and lovely on the
inside. We certainly had our differences of opinion over the years but we worked collaboratively and we got the end
results we wanted. He was great. In the early years he was there as much as I needed him to be and then he allowed
me to step up and put my fingerprint on the wine and the winemaking styles.
The philosophy for me has always been, why interfere with the style of the fruit? Let the fruit do the talking and let
the wine speak for itself, so whether we are making a commercial wine or a premium wine or anything in between,
it’s really important that stylistically you put your nose in the glass and you’re like, “yep, it’s a fruit-driven style, it’s
fresh, the wine’s in balance”.
