2019 Mystery McLaren Vale Shiraz Deal No. 71

Pack it up, boys and girls, we are done. There’s a new player in town – a mystery wine so impressive it’s shaking things up in ways we never saw coming.

Whatever this bottle holds, we just can't compete. Flavour for days. Intense fruit. Elegance and power in perfect harmony. And at a price that defies logic – a huge drop from its original RRP of $150.

Think of this as the wine world’s equivalent of Uber dismantling the taxi industry – a game-changer that rewrites the rules of quality and value. All we can tell you is that this flagship Shiraz comes from a prestigious South Australian estate, known for producing wines as rare and celebrated as the bird that inspired its name.

Awarded 97 points by Sam Kim and 94 points by Ray Jordan, this wine delivers the finest of McLaren Vale. Expect rich dark berry flavours, a smooth texture, and silky tannins – making every glass feel like a masterclass in elegance. Presented in a beautiful, wax-dipped bottle, it’s a wine to enjoy now or save for a special occasion.

So, why the price drop? This renowned Vale brand recently handed over the reins to the golden hands of CW Wines. Just three years ago, CW was an unknown name outside of Coonawarra – but those in the know were already talking about the premium quality of their grapes.

CW’s rise has been stratospheric. They started with Reschke, took the helm at Ulithorne, educated us all with Schoolhouse, and most recently added the mighty Schild Estate to their ever-growing portfolio.

What does all this mean?

It means AAA-grade fruit, the finest vineyards, incredible winemaking talent, and access to the best resources. And as part of their takeover deal with this mystery winery’s McLaren Vale vineyards, CW Wines secured a treasure trove of unreleased gems.

To clear the decks and pave the way for the future, they’ve given us a ‘secret’ handshake deal – dropping the price on this magnificent Shiraz.
