Black Market Mystery Wines™ are simply wines we love, with the branding hidden and revealed only when it arrives at your door!
"From one of the region's highest vineyards, this flavour-packed wine was estate-grown 300m above sea level in the upper Awatere Valley. Bright, light lemon/green, it has fresh, penetrating, melon and green capsicum flavours. It's crisp, lively, dry and lingering" Michael Cooper, Nov 2023
"There’s no mistaking the purity and pungency of this style and expression, a bouquet of crunchy red apple, tropical fruits and white peaches laced with fresh sage and Thai-basil scents. Crisp and just dry with a satin first touch, vibrant acid line and power with fresh white fleshed orchard fruits, tropical and lime citrus flavours. New, fresh and delicious, a wine ready for drinking from 2024 through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Jan 2024
A beautifully structured wine with flavours reminiscent of limes and nettle flowers with hints of green melon wrapped around a delicious acidity and natural fruit ripeness.
Machine harvested and coolish fermented with Sauvignon Blanc-specific yeast. A textbook life where the vineyard dictated the wine precisely. 100% tank fermented and kept on primary lees for four month.
Food Pairing: We love this wine with seafood, especially shellfish and it goes beautifully with smoked cheeses and crisp green salads.
