Officially known as the 'Icon Wine' in the range, this latest flagship Mystery Shiraz is a jaw-dropping, quality Shiraz to add to your premium arsenal. With massive third party endorsements and an array of Gold Medals, it is completely premium, McLaren Vale Shiraz at its best, and was never ever intended to sell for $54.99. Presented for sale in super premium, heavyweight, deep punt bottles, it looks every bit impressive as it tastes.
Made from the best fruit from the best barrels from a producer who refuses to compromise, only 200 cases exist, and the quality is obviously nothing short of the absolute very best McLaren Vale has to offer. Those who have been following our series of Mystery wines will know that these wines offer exceptional value for money - and this 2021 Shiraz is no exception.
A deeply concentrated shiraz that delivers pure luxury from the first pour. Brooding black fruits, espresso and mocha roll through the palate, lifted by a beautifully judged spice element that adds warmth and complexity. Plush, dense and velvety with chocolatey depth and superbly integrated oak, it finishes long, smooth and effortlessly polished.

Tasting Notes
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "This is substantial and brooding, yet with grace and sophistication, showing dark fruit richness, toasty oak, mocha and warm spice aromas on the nose. The richly expressed palate delivers awesome density with lavish texture and velvety tannins, leading to a superbly long multi-layered finish. It's symphonic and seamless with stunning balance and harmony. At its best: 2927 to 2046." 97pts.
Ken Gargett writes "The team describe this as the 'best fruit from the best barrels'. Maturation is in a mix of French oak hogsheads of varying ages. Individual barrel selection leads to the top wine in the range. Near opaque in colour, the nose offers lovely aniseed notes. Dried herbs, coffee grinds, axle grease (in the best sense) and roast meats. There is concentration and power here, and a lovely seductive palate. Soft chocolatey notes flow across the palate, which lingers impressively, maintaining the intensity at all times. Cushiony tannins. A decade plus of exciting drinking ahead for this gem." 95pts.
The winery writes "A rich and intense wine displaying aromas of ripe red fruits and dark berries, with hints of roasted almond and lifted spice. The palate is youthfully exuberant with deep and concentrated fruit flavours and structural tannins, providing length and persistence to the elegant finish. Matured in the finest French oak."
