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.

Three grapes. Three countries. One killer 6-pack.

Australia is now making some of the best Grenache on the planet. The Lienert's Sieben Klon is made from 8 distinct clones. It is fragrant, medium bodied and delicious. Dandelion's Faraway Tree is sourced from the Firehawk Farm vineyard in McLaren Vale- perhaps the greatest region for Grenache on the planet. Chianti remains the spiritual home of Sangiovese, and Bartali one of its most excellent producers. Rioja sets the gold standard for Tempranillo. Carlos Serres are one of only 2 Rioja producers who have been at it for over a century - with old vines, incredible fruit density and an ability to consistently punch out ripping Temps. This magical six-pack spans the globe, yet will set you back just $180.

Whether you’re a Grenache fiend, a sucker for Sangiovese, or just want to see how Rioja stacks up, this is a rare chance to taste six benchmark wines side by side — no airfare required.

Given times are tight at the moment, we're putting extra effort into the value side of the equation whilst, as always, striving to offer the best wines possible. So, here's a $180 baker's doz we think comfortably passes the Pub Test.

Inside, you’ll find:

3 bottles of a 93-point Estate Grown Limestone Coast Cabernet

3 bottles of a delicious 93-point Adelaide Hills Shiraz

3 bottles of Three Rings' superb Barossa Shiraz

3 bottles of Showblock’s powerhouse 95-point Cab Shiraz

The 13th? Oh, that's just a bottle of Martin’s $150 a bottle McLaren Vale Shiraz—a super-premium stunner and longtime best-seller.

Great wine, serious value. Hard to go wrong with this one.

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..

Stunning 7 clone Barossa Shiraz, made by the Lienert Brothers, who used to sell fruit to St Henri, before deciding to keep the good stuff for their own bottlings. Multiple trophy winning Shiraz from Forester Margaret River, Claymore's consistently slurpable Dark Side of the Moon Clare Shiraz. Gold winning SB from Barristers Block and trophy winning SBS from Willowbridge. All this makes this a great value pack, but just in case you needed convincing, we added in a $250 a bottle Barossa Shiraz to help you over the line!

6 magical Chardies here. Evan's and Tate Redbrook, which picked up gold at the Adelaide Show, is creamy and complexed with stunning French oak. The Hirsch Hill is this Yarra winery's Flagship Chardy - with powerful fruit and assertive acidity, it will cellar well. The Picardy is one of the best Chardonnays made in Oz. Made entirely from clones imported from Burgundy, it offers complexity, depth and class. We can comfortable recommend all of these for your consideration!

This is a full dozen gift of full tilt and fancy, award winning Shiraz from the Barossa, the McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.

Yep, 3 bottles each of Yaldara's $250 a bottle Barossa behemoth. 3 more of Showblock's 96 point, $85 a bottle McLaren Vale Shiraz, which offers superb fruit definition and is as smooth as silk. 3 of Curtis' 96-point old vine Mclaren Vale stunner, a rich, black beast that is easy to drink but offers excellent intensity of fruit. Finally, 3 bottles of the Manser Block 4, one of the best Shiraz to come out of the Adelaide Hills, year in, year out.

All up $1,500 worth of magnificent Shiraz for just $360 and because it is a dozen, there is no freight charge.

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.

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.

This pack brings together six absolute beauties, including Oliver’s Taranga Shiraz 2022 – from a Halliday 5 Red Star winery and Grange grower, this is pure McLaren power with polish to spare. There's Pasha Shiraz 2021 – A 97-point, $100-a-bottle stunner that balances opulence and finesse in one hell of a package. From Dowie Doole, their flagship Architect Cabernet Sauvignon, a 96-pointer and, in our view, one of the best Cabs coming out of the Vale right now. Dandelion Vineyards 'Treasure Trove' Grenache 2019 – vibrant, silken, and wildly aromatic. Staff orders are full of this stuff – and for good reason. And if that's not quite enough, and to be fair 'cos there are 12 slots in the box, Showblock's ‘Rosie’ Red 2019 – A bold, full-throttle blend that’s rich, ripe, and ready to go. Big wine, big flavour, big fun.
