Description

Dry, Grapefruit, Oak

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

"Complex and sophisticated, the wine shows apricot skin, grapefruit, oatmeal and gun smoke aromas on the nose with a hint of vanilla. The concentrated palate displays outstanding focus and drive, splendidly supported by saline texture and vibrant acidity. Superbly structured and persistent. At its best: now to 2033" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Apr 2024

"Ripe and fruity, varietal and intense with scents of lemon and grapefruit, red and green apple then a fine layer of sweet bell-pepper and lightly fragrant herbs. As the wine opens out in glass scents of tropical fruits begin to emerge. Crisp and dry, satin touches then acidity and freshness through flavours of citrus and pomaceous fruits that reflect the bouquet. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Perfectly ripe fruit is fermented and aged for 7 months in 15% new and 15% old French barriques, with the remainder 70% in stainless steel. Light, long toasting was chosen for the barrels to help create a more subtle oak influence. The result is a magnificently layered wine with complexity, depth, texture, purity of fruit flavour, and freshness. Almost too good to share, ensure to savour every drop with family and friends!
