There’s Houghton’s Frankland River Shiraz — from one of Australia’s best regions for the variety — and a 93-point, estate-grown Cabernet from Norfolk Rise in Mount Benson. And the kicker? A bottle of Yaldara’s Grand Barossa Shiraz —a $250 a bottle stunner is included in the pack. Everyday price, yes. Everyday wine? Not even close.

Learn More - Ca Vegar Bardolino DOC 2023$45.00Its bigger than Pinot, and of course has a different flavour profile, but in the UK plenty of punters who drink Pinot are equally enamoured of Bardolino. 'But it is made from the same grapes as Amarone', we hear you say. It is, and Bardolino is only half an hour from that region, but the wines are altogether brighter and far more delicate than you'll find there. This Bardolino sees about 6 months in oak, followed by some time in tank prior to bottling – red fruits and violet form the nose. It is red fruity, pulpy and fleshy and finishes tight and dry, with excellent length, minerality, plenty of acid and fine tannins. Drink it with rich meaty dishes or oily fish. Definitely a food wine and absolutely worth decanting. Learn More
