- A Dozen Excellent Riesling PLUS Another Excellent RieslingRegular Price $405.00 $240.00Just cracking Riesling here... The Vickery a 3 x 95 point classic from John Vickery, the most awarded Riesling maker in Aussie history. The Leconfield old vines is a beauty made in miniscule quantities and the Jeanneret Sevenhill is a 96 point stunner - ethereal, citrus-laden and powerful. Finally, the Vickery Castine Hill is magnificent - it is Huon Hooke's equal highest rated Clare Riesling from the 2020 vintage, from 67 reviewed. He says, '...superbly fresh and aromatic nose of fresh-cut flowers, lemon juice and pith, honey and citrus blossoms, the palate super-fine and delicate in its structure but marvellously intense in flavour, the acidity perfectly balanced and the finish very long and seamless, with perfect line. The finish is very dry and has a whisper of tannin assisting the dryness. A delicious wine, and one that should continue to age superbly'. Learn More

- Bird in Hand Sparkling Pinot Noir 2024Special Price $25.00 Regular Price $29.00Both grown on the estate and sourced from quality growers, the grapes are crushed and destemmed straight into the press to retain delicacy and aromatics and minimise colour transfer from the skins. The wine’s salmon pink colour is matched by a delicate strawberry aroma along with citrus blossom. The palate offers cherry and strawberry flavours and a creamy texture. The refined structure of this wine is highlighted by its subtle acidity and the elegance of very fine beading. Learn More

An exceptional price for these brilliant reds from the incredible 2021 vintage. Learn More - The Very Limited BSPRegular Price $970.00 $265.00
BSP, you ask? BSP is a TLA (that’s a Three-Letter Acronym) for Best Selling Pack—or at least, we reckon it would be if we had more of a couple of these wines.
Lloyd Brothers’ luscious, trophy-winning Syrah is in very short supply, and Kilikanoon’s flagship Cabernet—the 6-gold-medal-winning, 96-point, $96-a-bottle 2018 Tregea won’t be around for long either.
Maybe we should have called it the Fast Selling Pack? Either way, if this one catches your eye, now’s the time to lock it in.
P.S. The rest of the lineup is just as impressive—two stunning reds from Turkey Flat, Claymore’s Dark Side Shiraz, Martin’s magical McLaren Vale Super Premium, and the Baker’s Bottle: Yaldara Grand Shiraz!

The Noble Grape is a bit on the nose at the moment.
Perceived by some as being bony, hard of tannins and shy of revealing fruit, Cabernets are long way from their heyday of 20 years ago, when they outsold Shiraz. These days, the willingness to cellar, always Cabernet friend isn't really there, and 'good to go right now' wines are in ascendancy.
BUUUUUT ... we love it dearly and know that with the right fruit and the right gifted winemaker, assertively angular tannins and bony acidity make way for ethereal perfumes, generously jubey fruit and a massive smile on the head of whoever is drinking them. So here's a 'no bones' and 100% beautiful baker's doz of Cabernet for your consideration.
2 stunners from Kilikanoon lead the way and Briar Ridge's complex, Halliday 95 pointer slides in effortlessly behind. Ditto, Dandelion's 96 point Coonawarra beauty, Longview's Trophy winning stunner and Dowie Doole's tiny production, 96 point work of genius. These really are all magical- just double decant an hour or so before drinking!
Oh, the 13th bottle!?
Cab is well known for ageing beautifully, so we've scrounged around and found a small quantity of Zonte's Blackberry Patch Cab from 2017. It's drinking beautifully and we doff our Cab to it!
