- Leasingham Bin 61 Shiraz 2021Special Price $20.00 Regular Price $25.00Leasingham wines have been around since the 1890s and have been steered by a series of legendary winemakers over the years. It wasn’t until the early 70s that the Bin series kicked off, with a Bin 61 Shiraz and a Bin 56 Cab Malbec. These were both highly prized for their exceptional quality and regular ability to out-perform wines selling at 2-3 times their asking price. A few of us from WD were lucky enough to attend a vertical tasting with Tim Knappstein (one of the aforementioned and legendary Leasingham alumni) a decade or so ago and came away incredibly impressed with the quality and consistency of the wines. We looked at over 20 vintages, and everything we tasted was still showing fruit, the best of them were exceptional. So it’s a little sad that the '21 may be the last vintage of the Bin 61 Shiraz. Lots of good stuff here, black tea, chocolate, coffee grounds, mint, plum, charcuterie, and blackberries. The overall impression is of mid-weight fruit, an even balance between softness, fine tannin and good length. Cracking value for money. Drink now through 2030. Learn More
- Magical Alternative Reds from Aus, Spain and ItalyRegular Price $306.00 $140.00
A premium alternatives pack which we think is a bit of a no-brainer. We kick off with the following four Aussie alternatives. After Five's 5 trophy winning Barossa Montepulciano, which is as good a Monte we have ever seen. From Kilikanoon, their stunning, $96, 96 point, flagship Grenache. Artis brings us a magnificently perfumed Nero and Songlines, an old vine, 100% whole bunch Barossa Grenache. Then we have a Riserva Chianti from the low yielding and fabulous 2020 vintage, and a densely powerful Rioja, made by one of just 2 producers who are more than a century old. These are all excellent and we've no doubt you'll have as much fun with them as we do..

- The Heavy-Hitting $199 Shiraz DozenRegular Price $624.00 $199.00Coming your way, three bottles of the Red Deer '22 Langhorne Creek Old Vine Shiraz. This is a wine that we can squeeze into the $199 doz comfortably. It is $35 retail and just picked up 95 points from Kim Brebach with the following words: ‘…took me right back to the early reds of Wolf Blass (also using Langhorne Creek fruit). The vibrant, slippery fruit is supercharged, bursting with bright flavour yet the wine is not overripe or high in alcohol. It’s medium-bodied, almost elegant – it’s truly rare to find such intensity of flavour in a gentle red. So far so good; we’re on track for a good $199 doz. Then it starts to get silly, because we’ve also shoehorned in three bottles of the 2015 Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz: a 96-point stunner, mid weight and drinking beautifully. No rush though, you can drink this any time over the next 10 years. Next up, three of Greenock Estate’s Sieger 777 Old Vine Barossa Shiraz. This wine pulls no punches: a $50-a-bottle, full-throttle Barossa Shiraz that leaves no stone unturned in its mission to stone your palate to death. Drink it carefully; it's big! To complete the heavy-hitting, we have three $75-a-bottle Angas King Reserve Clare Shiraz. We’ve already sold a bucketload of this wine and had a heap of repeat orders for it. It's decent value at $75, exceptional when you can pick it up in this doz with an average bottle price of just $16.58! Learn More
- The Incredible $199 Old Vine Shiraz DozenRegular Price $780.00 $199.00
Fair chance this is the best $199 Shiraz doz we’ve ever cobbled together. Each of these is exceptional and all of these are old vine wines too, with the average vine age across the three sitting at 60!
The Curtis Small Batch might just be the best wine they have ever made – with fabulous black fruit intensity with judicious acidity and plenty of tannins driving through to an epic conclusion.
The Lone Palm, off 60-year-old Barossa Vines is packed with deep black and blue fruits, graphite, gun smoke and cedar. This is handpicked, hand plunged and basket pressed belligerence!
The Red Deer is exceptionally brightly and intensely fruited, with long black and red fruits finished with spindles of oak and fine tannins.
