Lone Palm Vineyards Elysian Springs Evans & Tate Barristers Block Schwarz Wine Company Chain of Ponds Dry Best Wine Deals
- 3 Trophy Winners + 4 Other StunnersRegular Price $884.00 $240.00
So much to love here and so many accolades to help highlight the quality - but at this price, it'll probs sell out pretty quickly...
The Kilikanoon Baudinet has scored 3 trophies, ditto the Evans & Tate Redbrook Shiraz (including the best wine of the Adelaide Show if you don't mind) The Lloyd Brothers Syrah is also a Trophy Winner.
This lot are already worth more than the asking price of the pack.
You'll also be scoring a couple of Curtis' old vine, 96 point McLaren Vale Shiraz, a couple of Turkey Flat's magical GSM and a couple of Griffin's Reserve Shiraz from the excellent 2021 vintage
Finally, a bottle of Yaldara's stunning, 96 point, $250 a bottle Shiraz.
A no-brainer, eh!
Learn More - 96pts, 97pts or a TrophyRegular Price $1,202.00 $360.00
At an average north of $90 retail per bottle, these might not scream 'Friday night Pizza' but at a tick under $30 a bottle in this bundle, maybe we can make a case for it... and at a bottle a week, we've got the next 13 weeks of Friyay evenings gourmet exhalations elevated to someplace very fine indeed.
So, what will you have next Friday?
Pasha's 97 point McLaren Shiraz which had Kim Brebach in raptures, saying 'The integration of fruit and oak is as seamless as I’ve seen in an Aussie red'? Dandelion's Firehawk Shiraz- off their best McLaren Vale vineyard? Sidewood's savoury Adelaide Shiraz which iced a lazy dozen gold medals with 96 points from Halliday? Showblock's incredible Reserve Shiraz? Kilikanoon's Flagship Cabernet? Perhaps, Longview's Trophy winning Cab ... decant this one!
OR, maybe you just want to start with the Lone Palm, the big gun. Imagine Marvin Gaye reinterpreting death metal (when he was alive, obvs), or Chuck Norris taking up Tai Chi. Molten lava given the Gaviscon treatment, Chewbacca reciting 'Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day', you get the idea. It's one of those 'Iron fist in a velvet glove' jobbies - incredibly powerful and densely fruited yet so perfectly put together that it is a joy to drink already.
Just need to choose that pizza now.
Learn More - A Very Special Grenache DozenRegular Price $714.00 $295.00
We love Grenache here at WD, probably because in Aus, particularly SA where we live, we do Grenache as well as, maybe even better than, anywhere else in the world. In this doz you'll be getting Heirloom's '24 Alcala, perhaps the best Grenache, from the best place on earth to grow it, McLaren Vale. Dandelion's flagship, 3 gold winning and 96-point Faraway Tree Grenache. Lone Palm's old vine beauty which is spicy and rich with gravelly tannins. The Treasure Trove is a multi-award winning stunner, again from Dandelion. Rounding this out, Turkey Flat's magical GSM and Songline's 94 point, old vine Barossa beauty.
If you love Grenache, even if you just like it, this pack is very worthy of your consideration.
