The planets aligned for Fleurieu in the 2018 vintage and conditions were perfect for reds to flourish. Awarded a perfect 10/10 score on Hallidays’ vintage chart, the 2018s are the place to start if you’re wanting to sample what this lesser known region has to offer. While you’re at it, best snap up this incredible deal from an absolute mofo fave producer and you’ll be laughing all the way to the wine rack. Expect rich, dark blackberry and plum fruit to swirl over the palate after a classic aromatic lift thanks to its viognier co-ferment. It loses none of the rich fruit forward plushness we all love and enjoy in a South Australian red, but gains added lashings of liquorice and allspice; a subtle nod to a more ‘Northern Rhône’ style. We feel you’re in for a real treat here.
What is a Black Market deal?
Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
