2023 Mystery Barossa Valley Shiraz Deal No. 04

Coming off some of Australia’s best old vines and with an endless array of gold medals and trophies to its name over the years, this is one EASY icon wine to recommend for your cellar.

Dave Brookes at Halliday's Wine Companion starts off by saying “bright satsuma plum, blueberry and black cherry fruits with hints of dark chocolate, violets, licorice, clove, vanillin oak, pepper, pan juices and black olive tapenade. Impressive fruit depth and intensity with assertive but fine, silty tannins and a rich roll of cassis-like fruit as it slowly fades away.” before awarding it 94 points - and we couldn’t agree more.

While Aaron Brasher, from The Real Review, went further even further admiring it cellaring potential with a 96pt score (placing it #2 out of 43 other Barossa wines from the 2023 vintage):

“… The flavours are full-bore, with lashings of plum, mulberry, spice and creamy, nutty oak. The tannins and acidity deliver plenty of balance and shape and the length is impressively long. Built for the long haul.”

Eden Valley is simply Barossa, plus elegance, and freshness. You'll love how the 2023 Mystery Eden Valley Shiraz simply grows and grows and grows in the glass, in your mouth, and in your mind as you work your way through the bottle. It’s a stunning wine, par excellence, and has me feeling very happy just writing this note!

The bad news? Only a TINY quantity was made and at this time-sensitive price, means this will sell out staggeringly quickly. Once you rip the top of the first bottle, you are going to wish you’d grabbed a few dozen.
