Here’s your chance to stock up on Clare Valley classics without the premium price tag. This dozen features standout Shiraz and Cabernet from top-tier producers including Kilikanoon, Leasingham, Mitchell, Claymore and more...

Mitchell and Leasingham Bin 61 both have industry legendary status. The Claymore Dark Side is a dark horse - a cracking wine at sub $30 a bottle. Kilikanoon, though later on the scene than Mitchell and Leasingham, arguably overshadow both now, given the sheer amount of accolades they have accrued in the last 20 years.

This is a who’s who of the region – powerful, polished reds from top vintages, all for just over $16 a bottle. That’s over $300 off RRP, and every wine is a serious drop in its own right.

Drink now, or cellar with confidence.

We used to mostly just drink Shiraz here in Oz. Or Cab. Then Pinot started to get a bit of a following — and pretty quickly, it blew up.

Fifteen years ago, Grenache was still dead in the water.

"I don't like Grenache."

"I haven’t tried a Grenache."

"It’s alright in a GSM blend, I guess..."

Then came The Grenachening.

Halliday started championing a few standout straight Grenache from McLaren Vale and the Barossa. Why? Because Australia does straight Grenache better than pretty much anywhere else in the world.

Sales climbed. Growers started paying much closer attention to their vines. Grenache is finnicky — the picking window is much shorter than for most other varieties.

Then the availability of straight Grenache as a gold and trophy winning standard took off, and it seems there is no one who hasn't had Grenache and very few who don't love it. It's expensive too - fruit is 2x times the price of Shiraz fruit these days.

So, here’s $720 worth of just magical Grenache and GSM, all superb — yours for just $295.

The Wines

4 bottles – Heirloom Alcala McLaren Vale Grenache

We love McLaren Vale here at winedirect.com.au. These reds have soul – rich, fruit-driven and generous – drinking beautifully from the first glass to the last.

They’re relaxed enough to lift a pizza after mid-week sport, but easily classy enough to eyeball a fillet steak on Friday night.

This pack brings together six absolute beauties, including Oliver’s Taranga Shiraz 2022 – from a Halliday 5 Red Star winery and Grange grower, this is pure McLaren power with polish to spare. There's Pasha Shiraz 2021 – A 97-point, $100-a-bottle stunner that balances opulence and finesse in one hell of a package. From Dowie Doole, their flagship Architect Cabernet Sauvignon, a 96-pointer and, in our view, one of the best Cabs coming out of the Vale right now. Dandelion Vineyards 'Treasure Trove' Grenache 2019 – vibrant, silken, and wildly aromatic. Staff orders are full of this stuff – and for good reason. And if that's not quite enough, and to be fair 'cos there are 12 slots in the box, Showblock's ‘Rosie’ Red 2019 – A bold, full-throttle blend that’s rich, ripe, and ready to go. Big wine, big flavour, big fun.

Mitchell (Peppertree) make one of Australia's most loved Shiraz and are also rated, you guessed it, 5 stars by James Halliday.

Zonte's Footstep have been a mainstay for the last 25 years and are loved for producing consistently gold medal winning Shiraz.

Neldner Road isn't so well known, but also has a 5 star rating from Halliday, and have made perhaps the only red, other than 1953 Penfolds Grange, to be rated 100 points by Jeremy Oliver.
