Shiraz 2017 – Black Market Deal #37092

So this is Frankland River shiraz, but there’s a dash of something else in it. We’re talking about 5% here, but you can tell it’s there. It’s not viognier, grenache, cab sav or one of the other obvious varieties to blend with shiraz. But based on what it brings to this wine, perhaps it should have been obvious to include it all along. Like any good Frankland River shiraz, this one has oodles of berries, fine tannins and a slick medium-bodied palate. But our secret little addition contributes some rustic savouriness that you just don’t get in other shiraz from the region. We’re thinking this is how wine trends start. Get in early on it before it goes mainstream.

What is a Black Market deal?

Black Market deals are only made possible if we don’t reveal the maker’s brand on site. The wines are the genuine article – absolutely no cleanskins or fake brands, just dangerously good value. You won’t find out what it is until it hits your doorstep, but you won’t regret it. Just keep it on the down low.
