Cost of living’s up. Your wine bill doesn’t have to be.

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.

Leasingham Bin 61 Shiraz A legend. Over 50 vintages of history in this bottle. Rich, powerful and beautifully drinkable right now (or lay it down if you’re patient).

All up, $144 for the dozen.

That’s $12 a bottle for reds that easily drink well above their price point.

Only 200 packs available – once they’re gone, that’s it.

An amazing cobbling together here of good things, 13 of them, valued at $550, which will set you back just $169. Yep $13 a bottle.

There's Turkey Flat's achingly beautiful mid-weight Barossa GSM, 3 Rings' stunning Barossa Shiraz, Leasingham's Bin 61 Shiraz - a delicious wine which has been in production for over 50 years, and Griffin's delightfully spiced and black fruited Adelaide Hills Shiraz.

3 each of the wines above, plus a bottle of Yaldara's magical super premium Grand Cuvée Shiraz!

Quaffing prices here for quality reds inc Barossa Shiraz, Adelaide Hills Shiraz, Langhorne Shiraz, a stunning, old vine Clare Shiraz from Mitchell, a cracking reserve Clare Shiraz and a very special $250 a bottle Barossa Shiraz behemoth. All up $732 worth for just $180.

A meditation on all things red that aren't Shiraz or Cab. We've got Touriga, Grenache, Tempranillo, Mataro, Montepulciano, Negroamaro and Aglianico happening here, and a smidge of Shiraz in the Kilikanoon GSM and the Purple Hands GSM. All things alt red, all offering a very different pathway to pleasure than straight Shiraz and Cabernet. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

If alternative whites are your jam, butter up! Here's a selection of 6 slippery suckers with nary a Chardonnay or a Sauvvy Blanc in sight. All tasted and retasted by our panel and all given the thumbs up. Langmeil’s gold medal winning blend of Rhone varietals Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. A couple of superb Fianos from McLaren Vale. A magic Sem from the Hunter and a couple of gorgeous PGs- one from the Clare and the other from the Adelaide Hills. All drinking beautifully, right now!

This lot features the top-selling reds from our recent End of Wine-ancial Year Sale – and here’s the kicker:

You’re getting them for even less than they were during the sale, cause our mixed pack offers are always on point.

These wines were snapped up fast – ordered, reordered, and ordered again – and now you can grab the whole lineup in one epic value dozen.

To seal the deal, we’ve made it a baker’s dozen, throwing in a bottle of Yaldara’s Grand Cuvée Shiraz 2022 – a $250 RRP Barossa powerhouse.

Most Aussie red drinkers know our Shiraz can be big, bold and packed with flavour. You could argue that these are the biggest reds on the planet. But that would be discounting Italian reds — especially those from the Amarone-producing region of Valpolicella — which can be just as powerful. The secret? Traditional techniques like air-drying grapes pre-ferment to intensify richness and structure. Source them from a high altitude grower who yields his vineyard low, air dries the fruit for an extended period and ferments to maximise extraction, and you've got yourself a bruising rivalry!

In this 6-pack, we’ve matched three massive, low yield, air dried reds from Ca' Botta with three bold Aussie reds, including the opulent Yaldara Grand Shiraz and full-bodied Angas King Reserve. It's a side-by-side look at what happens when both hemispheres go big — in flavour, structure and style.
