Mystery Super Premium Single Vineyard Shiraz

One of the most breathtaking Mystery deals at the top end we’ve seen come our way in many years – if drinking (or gifting!) $200 first class, elite level Shiraz for $50 sounds like a bit of you, well you need to be jumping into it while you can.

Do not adjust your sets. Yes, you are looking at a bottle of seriously top shelf, elite level, single vineyard, old bush vine Shiraz, selling across the ditch for AUD$175 per bottle and at a major UK retailer for GBP£95 (around NZD$220 per bottle) and backed by three 95+ Point scores.

With the global wine market and economies in a bit of a pickle this wow-factor wine is being offered at a once-in-a-lifetime price but only when we we keep their identity under wraps, help protect the brand and sell it as a Mystery Deal online. In exchange they give us a price they’d never normally dream of offering. It’s a complete win-win. The wine’s true label is on the box and bottle and all will be revealed when it lands on your doorstep.

From a McLaren Vale winery founded in the 1950s, this is their flagship red wine and nothing short of breath taking! From a 65 year old, single vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub region, it’s hand pruned and hand picked from only a select few rows of this specific vineyard and basket pressed directly to French oak barrels for 18 months maturation.

The result is something pretty bloody special…

97/100 (Sam Kim)
“A magnificent rendition of the variety, showing blackberry, cedar, star anise, cured meat, and potpourri characters on the nose, followed by a powerfully expressed palate delivering awesome weight and expansive mouthfeel. Tannins are polished and in abundance, making it superbly structured with a prolonged, sophisticated finish. At its best: now to 2040. $200.00”

96/100 & First Class (Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot)
“A prestige release which enjoys more time in the cellar than most and it reveals the benefits of that. The fruit usually hails from the estate’s 65-year-old vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub-region and the wine can expect to spend around a year and a half in a mix of new and older French oak. Under diam. Deep maroon hue, the nose promises us a wine that will be big and bold. There are aromas of cassis, blueberries, mocha, coffee beans and more – it is beautifully aromatic. The oak is deftly handled. Supple, juicy, crowd-pleasing and ever-so-delicious, this has impressive length and very fine silky tannins. Love it. A future of ten to twelve years at the very least.”

95/100 (Marc Ellis, Halliday’s Wine Companion)
“From 65-year-old vines in Blewitt Springs; 18 months in French oak. Deeply coloured, almost impenetrable in the glass, this is a powerful expression from a district oft known for elegance, yet there is composure, too. Familiar blue floral and blue fruit notes simply feel more compressed, more concentrated. Boysenberry, blueberry, crème de violette, ripe plums, soft licorice, fresh coffee grounds and blackberry pastille. Tannins are polished, the balance keenly judged. It’s very good (and it would be just as impressive in a lighter bottle).”

Packaged in a heavy weight bottle with a deep punt and packaged with a wax seal closure. An absolute masterpiece and at this price an outrageous bargain buy dollar for dollar. Drink now to 2040.
