13 pack - $13.00/bottle72% Off RRP13 Bottles for 13 Bucks Apiece v9.0Regular Price $601.00 $169.00Usually, a dozen priced for everyday drinking means a few cut corners — lesser regions, entry-level wines, and not much to get excited about. But not this lot. These are seriously good reds, starting with the legendary Leasingham Bin 61 Shiraz from Clare Valley, and Manser’s 95-point Dad’s Cut Shiraz made from A-grade fruit in the Adelaide Hills. There’s Houghton’s Frankland River Shiraz — from one of Australia’s best regions for the variety — and a 93-point, estate-grown Cabernet from Norfolk Rise in Mount Benson. And the kicker? A bottle of Yaldara’s Grand Barossa Shiraz —a $250 a bottle stunner is included in the pack. Everyday price, yes. Everyday wine? Not even close.

Lime and lime zest with snow pea tendrils and grapefruit. A delightful texture and just the perfect amount of acidity to allow the fruit to make its powerful point without taking over the show. A delightful Savvy which should improve for a few years yet.
Learn More - Briar Ridge Block 6 Pinot Noir 2024Special Price $60.00 Regular Price $65.00
This is high altitude, cool climate Pinot made in the Burgundian tradition. It is estate grown, hand harvested. whole bunch fermented and foot stomped, then spends 6 months in new French oak. It's superb already and will unleash layers of complexity as it ages. Our average score on the tasting panel was nudging 96, which is pretty unusual.
Made From: Clones 114, 115 and 777 grown at high altitude
Aromas and Flavours: Spice, mulberries, cherries, raspberries, plenty of zing
Drink if you like: Mornington or Yarra Pinot
Food: Duck and/or mushroom based dishes are perfect here

- Briar Ridge Hillrose Shiraz 2023Special Price $43.00 Regular Price $55.00Medium bodied, red fruited and spicy. Lots of complexity here with raspberry, blueberry, musk, aniseed and white pepper at play. Tannins are fine and silken. Lovely! Learn More
- Briar Ridge Limited Malbec 2024Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00
Dark cocoa, red plum, tobacco, blackberries. Plenty of acid and a long finish with fine tannins. We don't make much Malbec here in Oz, less than Argentina, who grow about 3/4 of the world's Malbec, less than France, the US, and South Africa. A lot of what we do make gets blended away to good effect with Cabernet. It's amazing how often a straight Cab is improved with the addition of Malbec. It's a pity, because Malbec is an exceptional straight varietal, and the Briar Ridge is a great example.
Made From: Estate grown Malbec
Aromas and Flavours: Blackberry, tobacco, cocoa, red plums and more
Drink if you like: Bleasdale Malbec
Food: Malbec loves pork and intense cheese. Argentinians consider it the ultimate steak wine.
Learn More - Briar Ridge Limited Release BDX 2022Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00Dark fruits and chocolate and a burst of rosewater on the nose. Black and blue fruits and cedar in the mouth. Tannis are fine and supple, making this particularly enjoyable now - but don't be afraid to chuck this away for a decade either. Learn More
- Briar Ridge Limited Viognier 2024Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00
Rich, complex, fragrant and textural, this is a ripper. It has spent time in old French oak with batonage, aka lees stirred, employed to accentuate the wonderfully velvety fruit. If you like rich Viognier or buttery Chardonnay, this is worth a look.
Made From: 100% Viognier
Aromas and Flavours: Orange blossom, peach, creaminess, honeysuckle, spice
Drink if you like: Buttery Chardonnay, Viognier
Food: Viognier, like Chardy, is low acid so it's best to avoid acidic fruit. Chicken Tagine or poached Salmon would work well
