Wine Sellers Direct is pleased to offer a FULLY LABELLED 2022 Mystery Wine Single Vineyard Shiraz from Adelaide Hills. It offers a generous yet elegant profile, featuring aromatic pepper spice alongside deep dark plum and blue fruit notes. Its extended, intricate palate concludes with a lasting finish marked by refined tannins and subtle spicy oak nuances.
The grapes for this wine are from a single vineyard near Lobethal in the Adelaide Hills. At 480 metres this is one of the highest Shiraz vineyards in the region. It is located on a gentle north facing slope giving an ideal aspect with maximum sunlight exposure.
In a quest for complexity, the grapes were fermented in two batches. One featured 50% whole bunches with normally crushed fruit as the balance while the other contained 50% whole berries. This produced wine of two different styles one, well-structured with an attractive carbonic ‘lift’ and the other rich, soft and textured. They were matured separately in French oak barriques (35% new). After rigorous barrel selection the wine was blended and bottled In March 2023.
"Adelaide Hills Shiraz is a hot-ticket at the moment and here is a wine that sits very comfortably in the pocket of the emergence of a regional style. It’s satisfyingly ripe, crimson plum and berry to the fore, plump, with a little lift of pepper. Its signature, more importantly, is a palate shape that feels circular and continuous, with a sense of generosity that fills the mouth without weight, thickness or oak overburden. A wine with purity of flavour and structure that offers a complete new-age Shiraz experience."

"Pepper and spice and all things berried and nice. If you’re ‘into’ bunchy shiraz then this is very good buying at under $30. It offers ample cherry-plum fruit flavours, loads of pepper, herb and stalk characters, and well-played smoky-reduction, the latter particularly apparent in the aftertaste. It’s tight through the finish; if it extends as it relaxes/evolves it will warrant a higher score yet."
