Whilst we cannot divulge the Source of this wine, we can assure you that the wine has an impeccable pedigree and absolutely delivers on our mandate for the Secret Source Label to provide exceptional drinking value.
Yes, we do know the vineyard source, the winery and winemaker (we just can't tell you!) and are very chuffed to be able to offer this to our customers.
A beautiful 'Barrel Selection' Central Otago Pinot Noir made by a well known and respected winery and now presented under our Secret Source label to protect its original identity (and much higher price point!). This is drinking beautifully right now, it shows plenty of lovely dark fruit and spice, hints of savoury mushroom notes with a lovely textural balance lending a silken mouth feel, while gentle acidity keeps the finish bright and long. So easy and enjoyable to drink, and nothing short of a bargain at this crazy price.
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"Sweetly ripe and immediately appealing, the enticing bouquet shows dark plum, sweet cherry, game and toasted nut aromas with a hint of dried mushroom. The palate offers succulent fruit flavours with supple mouthfeel and fleshy texture, beautifully framed by layers of silky tannins. Flavoursome and complex with a lengthy, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2029."
