Leconfield Kilikanoon Showblock Farmer’s Leap Dowie Doole Manser Barristers Block Solaris Evans & Tate Leasingham Latest Packs
- 13 Bottles for 13 Bucks Apiece v9.0Regular Price $601.00 $169.00
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.

We wanted to build the best pack we’ve never made before...
And after tossing around a few ideas, inspiration struck:
What if every wine in the pack had someone say,
"That’s one of the best wines I’ve ever had"?
So here it is — a lineup of 4 incredible Shiraz, all with serious pedigree, rave reviews, and a stack of repeat customers.
Yaldara Grand Shiraz – RRP $250
A powerhouse Barossa red — bold, black and luxe
Two Sisters Shiraz – Barossa Valley
From a family that’s been growing grapes since the first vines were planted in the region. Pure, classic, intense Barossa.
Lone Palm Hillside Shiraz – Barossa Valley
Compared to Grange more than once. Silky power, serious structure.
Showblock Shiraz – McLaren Vale
Multiple 96-point reviews and a mountain of repeat orders. Just a stunning wine. Learn More - The $150 Red DozenRegular Price $314.00 $150.00
Bang for buck doesn't go off much harder than this. $12.50 a bottle gets you Turkey Flat GSM, a 95 point Shiraz from Langhorne Creek, a superb Mount Benson Cabernet, Houghton's premium release Frankland River Shiraz, and a couple of Clare lovelies, one aged to perfection. All delicious and punching well above their weight, particularly at this price point.
Learn More - Cabernet Three WaysRegular Price $564.00 $199.00
By Popular Demand – A Cabernet Pack Under $20 a Bottle
You asked, we delivered – a cracking Cab-dominant dozen for under $20 a bottle. These are far from basic – each wine offers serious structure, flavour, and cellaring potential.
Longview Cabernet Sauvignon '22
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. Learn More - The GrenacheningRegular Price $720.00 $295.00
We used to mostly just drink Shiraz here in Oz. Or Cab. Then Pinot started to get a bit of a following — and pretty quickly, it blew up.
Fifteen years ago, Grenache was still dead in the water.
"I don't like Grenache."
"I haven’t tried a Grenache."
"It’s alright in a GSM blend, I guess..."
Then came The Grenachening.
Halliday started championing a few standout straight Grenache from McLaren Vale and the Barossa. Why? Because Australia does straight Grenache better than pretty much anywhere else in the world.
Sales climbed. Growers started paying much closer attention to their vines. Grenache is finnicky — the picking window is much shorter than for most other varieties.
Then the availability of straight Grenache as a gold and trophy winning standard took off, and it seems there is no one who hasn't had Grenache and very few who don't love it. It's expensive too - fruit is 2x times the price of Shiraz fruit these days.
So, here’s $720 worth of just magical Grenache and GSM, all superb — yours for just $295.
The Wines
4 bottles – Heirloom Alcala McLaren Vale Grenache

We love McLaren Vale here at winedirect.com.au. These reds have soul – rich, fruit-driven and generous – drinking beautifully from the first glass to the last.
They’re relaxed enough to lift a pizza after mid-week sport, but easily classy enough to eyeball a fillet steak on Friday night.
