Product Highlights
“In years to come, we may look back on <this wine> as the winemakers most profound and longest-lived achievement in his years at <redacted> He describes 2011 as his “attack on Graveyard”. In brilliance of controlled power, there’s no question it’s one of the standouts of an incredible Hunter vintage.”

Wine has a way of carrying time. Each bottle is like a little capsule, a record of the season, the place, the people, and the patience it took to bring it to life.
This 2011 Mystery Hunter Flagship Shiraz is one of those bottles.
Over a decade in the making, it’s matured into something remarkable, savoury, layered, elegant, yet still buzzing with energy. The sort of wine you don’t just drink, you experience, you savour.
It's the flagship Shiraz from 90+ year old vines, from the ultimate Hunter vintage, crafted by arguably Australia's most idolised winemakers, at a winery in its absolute prime.
What's more, it's perfectly cellared. 14 years since it was harvested, resting in the wineries cellars, ticking off the many seasons of its 50+ year potential.
The critics agree. James Halliday called it “the epitome of elegance, with untold depths of blackberry and plum.”
Ned Goodwin MW found “a finely tuned palate, jubilant with life… an exceptionally fine regional expression, aged and ready to drink.”
It’s not just words either, this wine has the silverware to back it up:

These are the wines I love finding for you. Bottles with history, character, and the ability to stop you mid-sip and remind you why we love wine in the first place.
