Here is a selection of some of the secret deals we've offered our subscribers recently. Why the secrecy? Why can't we just tell you what the wine is?
We often get asked this and understand that it can be frustrating as a punter to see offers like these... but it means we can offer you wine at an even better price than usual so it's worth it we reckon...
Sometimes we get access to wine at a particularly sharp price. Maybe the winery wants to release their new vintage and needs to clear the previous one, or an anticipated big order hasn’t come through... whatever the case, if the wine gets the thumbs up from the WD tasting panel, and the price is especially good, we can offer it to you at a price substantially below what it is usually sold for.
Understandably the wine ...

- Secret 94pt 2017 Clare Valley Reserve Shiraz 6 PackRegular Price $450.00 $120.00We did a double take when this landed on the tasting bench. This is full bodied, ripe, plush and powerfully fruited. Softened a little by 7 years cellaring, it is drinking magnificently now. We wondered if it would age, so came back to the same bottle 30 hours later and it was even better. Beautiful fruit aromatics leading to black fruit, black olives, spice, dark chocolate, cedar and plenty of fine tannins. Ken Gargett said it is a 'powerful Shiraz with an exciting future.' A stunner and a steal at just $20 a bottle. Learn More

- Secret 96pt 2021 Old Vine McLaren Vale Shiraz 6 PackRegular Price $600.00 $132.00$22 a bottle seems criminal for an offering this good. Sam Kim gave it 96pts and Ken Gargett has just chimed in with 94 and the words ‘seamless and seductive ... intensity never waivers … excellent length, fine acidity and sleek tannins. This has at least a decade ahead of it, during which period it will surely improve even more. This exceptional old vine Shiraz balances fruit intensity with brightness and is a joy to drink already. That said, it will improve for us to a decade if you can keep your hands off it for a bit. Exceptional depth of fruit and concentration. Great length and yet vibrant enough to make you smile already. No wonder we are selling bucketloads. Learn More
