Why do we love this wine?
The 2014 vintage in the Yarra Valley was marked by low yields, but what was produced was excellent - a 'near perfect' late growing season. The resulting wines, while scarce, were focused, intense and long lived. I say all that because this wine typifies that excellence to a tee - bright snappy citrus sits on the back of complex stoney minerality. Above all else, it feels sophisticated and high brow. This is borrowing a little limelight from the whites of Burgundy for me, it might even be a contender to steal that focus for good. There is lanolin, cashew, and lemon flesh on offer, and the finish is tinged by subtle salinity. While there are flashes of age throughout, the wine is still marked by freshness and vibrancy. This is a brilliant wine that is equal parts academic and delicious. A must have for anyone who considers themselves a part of the chardy fan club.

What is a Black Market deal?
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.
