Here’s our attempt at rebalancing the equation: 12 seriously good reds for just $12 a bottle — and not a quaffer in sight
Highlights? Glad you asked:
Griffin’s 93pt Adelaide Hills Shiraz – Black fruit, spice, and a graceful balance that puts pricier wines to shame. A tasting panel favourite.
Red Deer 95pt Langhorne Creek Shiraz – One of our top sellers. Big fruit, warming spice, incredible value.
Norfolk Rise Cab from the Limestone Coast – 93pts, medium-bodied and varietally spot-on with fine tannins and a cedar lift.

All up, $144 for the dozen.
That’s $12 a bottle for reds that easily drink well above their price point.

Learn More - Ca Vegar Bardolino DOC 2023$45.00Its bigger than Pinot, and of course has a different flavour profile, but in the UK plenty of punters who drink Pinot are equally enamoured of Bardolino. 'But it is made from the same grapes as Amarone', we hear you say. It is, and Bardolino is only half an hour from that region, but the wines are altogether brighter and far more delicate than you'll find there. This Bardolino sees about 6 months in oak, followed by some time in tank prior to bottling – red fruits and violet form the nose. It is red fruity, pulpy and fleshy and finishes tight and dry, with excellent length, minerality, plenty of acid and fine tannins. Drink it with rich meaty dishes or oily fish. Definitely a food wine and absolutely worth decanting. Learn More

A 95-point McLaren Vale stunner. Mostly Cab with a splash of Shiraz, this is big, rich, thick, black, and unctuous. Utterly delicious and built to impress. Learn More - Champagne Bouché Père & Fils Rosé ChampagneSpecial Price $85.00 Regular Price $130.00A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonay and Pinot Meunier, fashioned from vineyards in Epernay, Pierry, Chouilly and Barbonne. 10% is aged in oak and 10% of the finished wine is sourced from the Bouché Reserve wine program, which is held in oak.
