Everyone loves a good secret!
Our own Secret Source label has turned into a runaway success, so we are very excited to offer you our latest iteration – this time a stunning Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Lowburn in Central Otago – It may just be our best one yet!
The reason for the success boils down to our unrelenting pursuit of finding a wine that absolutely over-delivers for its price and offers a style of wine that we know our customers love – Seriously, we tried a lot of different Pinot Noirs before settling on this beauty.
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! In fact we would be very comfortable selling this to you at twice this price, such as the quality here.
This is not a second label or such. This is the winery's top label, produced to sell alongside other premium Central Otago Pinot Noir. 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 you.
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, March 2025 (2023 Vintage)
"It's gorgeously fruited with alluring complexity, showing dark plum, cherry, dried mushroom, thyme, and roasted nut aromas. The palate displays excellent concentration and plush texture, wonderfully framed by beautifully melded tannins, finishing impressively long and velvety. At its best: now to 2031."
