Description

Black Market Mystery Wines™ are simply wines we love, with the branding hidden and revealed only when it arrives at your door!

"Attractive nose of ripe cherries, raspberries, blood oranges and hibiscus. Medium-bodied, juicy and vibrant, with bright fruit and some salinity at the end. Sustainable" James Suckling

"Aromas and flavours of fresh red plums and cherry flesh, there’s a nice earthy stones and clay quality with a fine layer of rose petals and baking spices from wood. Fresh and dry, fine tannins and a core of fruit. Acidity and the light baking spice layers add texture and breadth alongside the fruit. Best drinking from 2024 through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Aromas of dark cherry, berry fruits and smoke. Flavours of red fruit compote and mocha. Juicy and fleshy in the mouth with soft tannins and persistent flavour. This is a fleshy, satisfying wine made in an elegant, style of Pinot Noir with fragrance, charm and grace. Easy to drink on its own, or to match with food.

Grapes from each vineyard were given a short cold soak period before fermentation commenced. Plunging was gentle and once a day with an aim to retain elegance in the wine. Dry wines remained on skins until the tannin balance looked approachable. Components were aged for seven months prior to being blended and bottled.

Food Pairing: Lamb, duck, salmon and charcuterie.
