A couple of McLaren Vale Fianos, both in fine drinking fettle, a Halliday 95 point Viognier which is textural and laden with fruit, 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!

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.

There’s Kim Brebach’s top-rated Grenache of the past year, a fascinating multi-clonal Barossa expression, and a French GSM from the Southern Rhône to round things off. That’s 13 bottles of spice, plushness, and regional character — all drinking beautifully right now.
