You know the deal. We have secured another incredible, exclusive Mystery Barossa offer! As always, strictly while stocks last.
This small batch Ungrafted Barossa Shiraz typically sells for $90 AUD in Australia - which equates to approximately $98 NZD per bottle. With the effects of the trade spat between Australia and China still ongoing, we were approached to sell a parcel of this wine under the radar in New Zealand as a mystery deal* to move some of the capacity that China would normally account for.
Here's what we can tell you: The 2021 vintage in Barossa was heralded as one of the best vintages to date, and this sumptuous wine displays all the advantages of a superb growing season and a winemaking team at the top of their game. Glossy dark red in the glass with aromas of spicy plum and milk chocolate, this is old vine, complex shiraz at its finest. On the palate it is rich, engaging wine with lavish flavours of plums and dark cherry, underpinned by a backbone of intergrated, finely textured tannins. It's powerful and complete - as the below 96pt and 97pt reviews attest.
We can also tell you this wine has come from a producer who:
- Is a personal favourite of renowned American wine commentator, Robert Parker.
- Has been named Australia’s Best New Producer by the Penguin Wine Guide.
- Has been named in the “Top 10 Australian Wineries” by Decanter Magazine, UK.
Clearly, with an opportunity of this magnitude, stocks are strictly limited, and we strongly suggest you secure your personal requirements before telling colleagues, family and friends.
* This wine is being sold to you as a 'Mystery deal' to protect the producer's investment in this important wine. When you order, the wine will be delivered to you under its normal label, and usual packaging - so all will be revealed when it lands at your door.
TASTING NOTES
Ray Jordan: "97pts. Comes off some pretty old, ungrafted Barossa vines. It's a most elegant and refined wine that shows another side of the Barossa. Largely traditional winemaking with gentle crushing, fermentation in open vats for three weeks and then pressing to Fresh barriques for 15 months. Has a lovely spicy perfume on the nose with races of red berry and light cedar. The palate is almost medium weight in that it is so effortless and stylish. Extends with ease to an exceptionally long finish. Wonderful expression of the Barossa. Cellar: 18 years."
Ken Gargett: "96pts. A few whole berries included in the ferment here, which is in open vats with heading-down boards for three weeks, then fifteen months in older French barriques. Maroon/purple in colour with aromas of chocolate, mocha, plums and cassis. There is good oak integration with some Madagascar vanilla evident complimented by bay leaves and coffee beans on the palate. Big, bold and balanced, this is dense and dancing. Richly flavoured, with saturated fruits, silky tannins and a lingering finish. This has ten years at least ahead of it."
