Leconfield Kilikanoon Dune Majella Chaffey Bros. Wine Co. Ca’ Botta Best Wine Deals

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..

BSP, you ask? BSP is a TLA (that’s a Three-Letter Acronym) for Best Selling Pack—or at least, we reckon it would be if we had more of a couple of these wines.

Lloyd Brothers’ luscious, trophy-winning Syrah is in very short supply, and Kilikanoon’s flagship Cabernet—the 6-gold-medal-winning, 96-point, $96-a-bottle 2018 Tregea won’t be around for long either.

Maybe we should have called it the Fast Selling Pack? Either way, if this one catches your eye, now’s the time to lock it in.

P.S. The rest of the lineup is just as impressive—two stunning reds from Turkey Flat, Claymore’s Dark Side Shiraz, Martin’s magical McLaren Vale Super Premium, and the Baker’s Bottle: Yaldara Grand Shiraz!

The Noble Grape is a bit on the nose at the moment.

Perceived by some as being bony, hard of tannins and shy of revealing fruit, Cabernets are long way from their heyday of 20 years ago, when they outsold Shiraz. These days, the willingness to cellar, always Cabernet friend isn't really there, and 'good to go right now' wines are in ascendancy.

BUUUUUT ... we love it dearly and know that with the right fruit and the right gifted winemaker, assertively angular tannins and bony acidity make way for ethereal perfumes, generously jubey fruit and a massive smile on the head of whoever is drinking them. So here's a 'no bones' and 100% beautiful baker's doz of Cabernet for your consideration.

2 stunners from Kilikanoon lead the way and Briar Ridge's complex, Halliday 95 pointer slides in effortlessly behind. Ditto, Dandelion's 96 point Coonawarra beauty, Longview's Trophy winning stunner and Dowie Doole's tiny production, 96 point work of genius. These really are all magical- just double decant an hour or so before drinking!

Oh, the 13th bottle!?

Cab is well known for ageing beautifully, so we've scrounged around and found a small quantity of Zonte's Blackberry Patch Cab from 2017. It's drinking beautifully and we doff our Cab to it!
