2022 Mystery McLaren Vale Shiraz Deal No. 76

In the world of Mystery wine deals, here's one that demands your attention. It's a rare find, a deal we've never offered before, marking one of the most compelling opportunities we've arranged in recent memory.

This wine is more than just a standout in the vast wine universe; it's a guiding light, eclipsing a myriad of lesser offerings, symbolising the remarkable journey from vine to glass.

Discovering this wine was a revelation. In a time when it's easy for wines to be overhyped, especially high-value McLaren Vale Shiraz, this one shines through with its elegant, vibrant nature.

What sets this offer apart is not just the exceptional quality of the wine, but the exclusive opportunity it presents. This is a wine that, until now, has been a whispered secret, shared only among the select few with direct access to the producer. Through our unique arrangement, we've unlocked the cellar doors, allowing us to offer this exquisite wine at a value that is as remarkable as the wine itself.

Expect a cult winery as a starting point. A regular on star among the likes of Halliiday and Parker, this McLaren Vale institution shares some stratospheric scores from its past offerings.

Expect the small-batch. They don’t make much, especially at this tier, so expect some 80-year old vines, hand-tended and crafted with the simplicity of the oak vessel, and a less-is-more philosophy. The fruit here is the star. Viscous, dense, impenetrable at first, but ever so whimsical and lithe on the palate, a filigree of tannins and whispers of bitter cocoa and berry compote. Vanilla, coffee bean, tonka and blueberry emerge too.

Expect a true, icon tier cellar-door price. $100 a bottle to be exact.

While the points this early in its release cycle are limited, we expect the great and good to emerge from the local writers and critics in the near future. 
Cellaring? At least 10+ years at a hop. Maybe more? But why would you want to wait any longer. This will be delicious for the next decade, whenever you choose to drink it.
