THE DOWNSIDE…

• You hear nothing from them for three months around vintage then they spend the other nine months of the year trying to drag you out to lunch.
• A "quick" is usually anything but and "just one more" refers to another bottle, not a glass.
• They’re constantly shoving glasses under your nose and making you guess what’s in them.
• Their teeth are permanently stained black so strangers think you’re hanging out with a bloke who eats babies.

THE UPSIDE…

• Every now and then one of them has a parcel of pretty special booze that needs a home without conflicting with their already established labels, so you can pick up some very special wines cheaper than a box of second hand tissues.

So that’s why we’ve created our own A.K.A label, to provide a home for some of these exclusive batches. We won’t ever be able to tell you exactly who made them, that would put too many noses out of joint, but we’ll give you clues if you really want to follow them.

These are alter-egos to some of your favourite wines, super-heroes draped in their secret identities, great stories written under pseudonyms. A bit of mystery never tasted so good.
