Usually, 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.

A couple of McLaren Vale Fianos, both in fine drinking fettle, a Halliday 96 point Sem you can decant and drink now, or cellar for 10+, a couple of mindbendingly good Rieslings from the Clare and Eden respectively, and a delicious blend from low-fi Barossa winery, White Gate. Learn More

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!

Elegant, structured, and finely tannined – this trophy-winning Adelaide Hills Cab is textbook stuff. Expect violets, blue fruits, and a stunning, almost porcelain-like frame. Perfect with a lamb roast. Decant now or cellar for 10+ years.

Norfolk Rise Cabernet Sauvignon '22

100% estate-grown Limestone Coast fruit, this is beautifully made – vibrant, smooth, and generous. Effortless drinking now, but with enough structure to age nicely too.

Showblock Rosie '19

A 95-point McLaren Vale stunner. Mostly Cab with a splash of Shiraz, this is big, rich, thick, black, and unctuous. Utterly delicious and built to impress.
