Sometimes you just need a gift that is unquestionably awesome; something that leaves the recipient in absolutely no doubt as to just how much you value them. Maybe they've gone out of their way to help you this year, or they are just a good friend and you are feeling generous.!

This is that gift!

This is a full dozen gift of full tilt and fancy, award winning Shiraz from the Barossa, the McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.

Yep, 3 bottles each of Yaldara's $250 a bottle Barossa behemoth. 3 more of Showblock's 96 point, $85 a bottle McLaren Vale Shiraz, which offers superb fruit definition and is as smooth as silk. 3 of Curtis' 96-point old vine Mclaren Vale stunner, a rich, black beast that is easy to drink but offers excellent intensity of fruit. Finally, 3 bottles of the Manser Block 4, one of the best Shiraz to come out of the Adelaide Hills, year in, year out.

All up $1,500 worth of magnificent Shiraz for just $360 and because it is a dozen, there is no freight charge.

We wanted to build the best pack we’ve never made before...

And after tossing around a few ideas, inspiration struck:

What if every wine in the pack had someone say,

"That’s one of the best wines I’ve ever had"?

So here it is — a lineup of 4 incredible Shiraz, all with serious pedigree, rave reviews, and a stack of repeat customers.

Yaldara Grand Shiraz – RRP $250

A powerhouse Barossa red — bold, black and luxe

Two Sisters Shiraz – Barossa Valley

From a family that’s been growing grapes since the first vines were planted in the region. Pure, classic, intense Barossa.

Lone Palm Hillside Shiraz – Barossa Valley

Compared to Grange more than once. Silky power, serious structure.

Showblock Shiraz – McLaren Vale

Here’s a dozen that sorts you out when you are looking for something fresh and good to go right now- a vibrant mix of lifted, juicy reds that are expressive, and eminently drinkable. From the fragrant and silky Briar Ridge Block 6 Pinot and Yarra grown Hirsch Hill Pinot, to the lithe and spicy Ca Vegar Bardolino, this pack is all about energy and perfume. There’s serious class in the 96pt Heirloom Alcala Grenache, and a welcome hit of exotic depth from the inky, fruit-laden and trophy winning Heirloom Touriga. Yes, there is one Shiraz – the superb Houghton Frankland River Premium – a cool-climate gem with black fruits and spice in perfect balance. A $606 collection for just $295 – your palate (and wallet) will thank you.

We love McLaren Vale here at winedirect.com.au. These reds have soul – rich, fruit-driven and generous – drinking beautifully from the first glass to the last.

They’re relaxed enough to lift a pizza after mid-week sport, but easily classy enough to eyeball a fillet steak on Friday night.

This pack brings together six absolute beauties, including Oliver’s Taranga Shiraz 2022 – from a Halliday 5 Red Star winery and Grange grower, this is pure McLaren power with polish to spare. There's Pasha Shiraz 2021 – A 97-point, $100-a-bottle stunner that balances opulence and finesse in one hell of a package. From Dowie Doole, their flagship Architect Cabernet Sauvignon, a 96-pointer and, in our view, one of the best Cabs coming out of the Vale right now. Dandelion Vineyards 'Treasure Trove' Grenache 2019 – vibrant, silken, and wildly aromatic. Staff orders are full of this stuff – and for good reason. And if that's not quite enough, and to be fair 'cos there are 12 slots in the box, Showblock's ‘Rosie’ Red 2019 – A bold, full-throttle blend that’s rich, ripe, and ready to go. Big wine, big flavour, big fun.
