Secret by name, and secret by nature, this magical vineyard hides behind multiple locked gates and windy trails, nestled away with some of the region’s best vineyards. Along with picturesque views of the Barossa and Eden Valley, this vineyard offers high-quality fruit that has always shone, even through the most difficult of vintages.

Scores
94 / 100"This 2020 Secret Block Wildlife Road Moppa Hills Shiraz is a wonder. The Barossa has a propensity to deliver a fresh injection of dirt and earth, and this, of all the wines in the 2020 lineup, gives that experience. The tannins through the finish are savory and granular and serve to guide the fruit over the tongue. The fruit is plush and red and shows raspberries and mulberries and soft spice. You can drink this wine at any time because it's cushioned and ready now (although a decant is important), and while it will live for decades, I really think it's important to drink it sooner in order to capture the freshness of the fruit."
