Yeah yeah, we know. All the Coonawarra hype is for the cabernet. BUT, did you know that the region started as a shiraz powerhouse and there’s still exceptional examples being produced today from older vineyards? I know because we’ve got one of those right here. It’s full-bodied, but lively enough to jump out of the glass. There’s a savoury, spicy element to it, a touch of chocolate, and a nice backbone of oak from 18 months in 30% new French barrels. We’re not saying to skip over the cabernet by any means, but leave a place at the table for Coonawarra shiraz of this quality.
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.
