When it comes to top Aussie shiraz, Victoria’s got a dog in the fight. This is focused, with pure fruit expression and penetrating acidity that gathers the fruit profile and delivers in spades. Blueberries and blackberries in a tight, dense fruit core. White pepper and an almost imperceptible soy note give the wine a savoury edge. At its heart, though, this is a celebration of fruit intensity - persistent and powerful, energetic and joyous. It’s no wonder this unassuming Victorian got a top gong from the Halliday Wine Companion.

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.
