March 2024. “This is a cracking Barossa Shiraz from a superb vintage and seriously good value. The colour here is a deep bruised plum and the nose gives us notes of chocolate, spices, smoked meats, dried herbs, plums and chocolate. A sappy, fresh style with good energy. Impressive length, fresh acidity, supple tannins and a lingering finish. The palate sees more plums, black fruits, and white pepper to the fore. Enjoy this now and for the next six to eight years.”

Mystery Gem | McLaren Vale | Shiraz Tempranillo 2023

92 points Ken Gargett, Winepilot, Feb 2024.
"From the sandy soils of the family’s vineyard in the Blewitt Springs sub-region, fermentation of the two varieties was done discretely, followed by subsequent blending. With eight days on skins before pressing to older French hogsheads for eight months maturation. Vibrant purple, this is still very young but delightfully fresh. Notes of plums, dark berries, smoked meats and florals, there is an attractively supple texture with decent length and very soft tannins. Like this a lot. Delicious now and for the next three to four years."

91 points Sam Kim, WineOrbit, Jan 2024."Attractively fruited and fragrant, the bouquet shows dark plum, sweet cherry, thyme and roasted nut aromas, followed by a succulent palate displaying supple texture and silky tannins. Beautifully rounded and flavoursome with a lengthy rounded finish. At its best: now to 2030."

Mystery Gem | Great Southern | Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

93 points Sam Kim, WineOrbit, Apr 2023.
"Attractively fruited and fragrant, the wine shows sweet plum, blackcurrant, clove and cedar characters on the nose, followed by a flavoursome palate offering \ fine texture and layers of polished tannins. Harmonious and true to variety, making it delectable and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2033."

"Stunning value here in this fine Cabernet from the Great Southern. Near black/magenta in colour, there is fine focus, class, elegance and power. The flavours weave through aniseed, cloves, coffee beans, chocolate and especially blackcurrants with very fine tannins and great length. Has many years ahead of it, at which time the few shekels you shelled out now will look like an extraordinary bargain."

Mystery Gem | Coonawarra | Sparkling Merlot 2022

Nick Bulleid, Master of Wine, Aug 2023."Christmas is coming! There are really delicious red fruits here – raspberry and cherry – with bottle-age beginning to add complexity. A nice cut of tannin keeping the finish fresh. This is the drink to match both turkey and ham. Don’t chill it too much."

Mystery Gem | Barossa Valley | Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

93 points Ken Gargett, Winepilot, August 2024.
"Delicious warm climate Cab, proving such a thing is most definitely possible. The colour here is a deep maroon. There is the merest flick of oak still evident on the nose, adding to the many components contributing to the complexity of the wine. A fleshy style, there are notes of roast meats, raspberries, cranberries, leather and dried herbs. The wine has a pleasing supple texture and impressive length with good focus, sleek tannins and we see more notes of strawberries emerge on the palate. This will provide excellent drinking, full of flavour, over the next six to ten months."

91 points Sam Kim, WineOrbit, May 2024.
"Attractively ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows blackcurrant, dried herb, clove and roasted nut aromas, followed by a fruit-expressive palate offering plump mouthfeel backed by fine grained tannins, offering excellent drinking. At its best: now to 2031."
