If alternative whites are your jam, butter up! Here's a selection of 6 slippery suckers with nary a Chardonnay or a Sauvvy Blanc in sight. All tasted and retasted by our panel and all given the thumbs up. Langmeil’s gold medal winning blend of Rhone varietals Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. A couple of superb Fianos from McLaren Vale. A magic Sem from the Hunter and a couple of gorgeous PGs- one from the Clare and the other from the Adelaide Hills. All drinking beautifully, right now!

Looking to liven up your tastebuds with something a little different? This pack is full of brilliant alternative whites — from Briar Ridge’s stunningly textural Viognier (just awarded 95 points by Halliday), to a multi-trophy-winning Margaret River SSB, and an achingly pure 96-point Watervale Riesling. There’s also a gold-medal-winning three-way blend of Rhône varieties from Langmeil, a magical Hunter Valley Semillon, and John Vickery’s superlative take on Watervale Riesling. Crisp, characterful, and full of surprises — these are whites that seriously overdeliver.

Most Aussie red drinkers know our Shiraz can be big, bold and packed with flavour. You could argue that these are the biggest reds on the planet. But that would be discounting Italian reds — especially those from the Amarone-producing region of Valpolicella — which can be just as powerful. The secret? Traditional techniques like air-drying grapes pre-ferment to intensify richness and structure. Source them from a high altitude grower who yields his vineyard low, air dries the fruit for an extended period and ferments to maximise extraction, and you've got yourself a bruising rivalry!

In this 6-pack, we’ve matched three massive, low yield, air dried reds from Ca' Botta with three bold Aussie reds, including the opulent Yaldara Grand Shiraz and full-bodied Angas King Reserve. It's a side-by-side look at what happens when both hemispheres go big — in flavour, structure and style.
