Cost of living’s up. Your wine bill doesn’t have to be.

Here’s our attempt at rebalancing the equation: 12 seriously good reds for just $12 a bottle — and not a quaffer in sight

Highlights? Glad you asked:

Griffin’s 93pt Adelaide Hills Shiraz – Black fruit, spice, and a graceful balance that puts pricier wines to shame. A tasting panel favourite.

Red Deer 95pt Langhorne Creek Shiraz – One of our top sellers. Big fruit, warming spice, incredible value.

Norfolk Rise Cab from the Limestone Coast – 93pts, medium-bodied and varietally spot-on with fine tannins and a cedar lift.

Leasingham Bin 61 Shiraz A legend. Over 50 vintages of history in this bottle. Rich, powerful and beautifully drinkable right now (or lay it down if you’re patient).

All up, $144 for the dozen.

That’s $12 a bottle for reds that easily drink well above their price point.

Only 200 packs available – once they’re gone, that’s it.

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!

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!

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.
