Learn More - Magical Alternative Reds from Aus, Spain and ItalyRegular Price $311.00 $140.00
A premium alternatives pack which we think is a bit of a no-brainer. We kick off with the following four Aussie alternatives. After Five's 5 trophy winning Barossa Montepulciano, which is as good a Monte we have ever seen. From Kilikanoon, their stunning, $96, 96 point, flagship Grenache. Artis brings us a magnificently perfumed Nero and Songlines, an old vine, 100% whole bunch Barossa Grenache. Then we have a Riserva Chianti from the low yielding and fabulous 2020 vintage, and a densely powerful Rioja, made by one of just 2 producers who are more than a century old. These are all excellent and we've no doubt you'll have as much fun with them as we do..

A bottle of Dandelion’s flagship Grenache —
$120 RRP, from the heart of McLaren Vale.Smart, delicious, pizza-friendly reds — and one absolute baller bottle for good measure.

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
Multiple 96-point reviews and a mountain of repeat orders. Just a stunning wine. Learn More - The Cult Classic Shiraz CollectionRegular Price $664.00 $240.00
A dozen Shiraz legends for just $240, freight free. Big names only – Mitchell, Turkey Flat, Oliver's Taranga, Leasingham, Kilikanoon – plus TWO bottles of Dave Powell’s Neldner Road 'Silesian' Shiraz – a $150 Barossa beast made by the Torbreck founder.

Stock won’t last.
Learn More - The Heavy-Hitting $199 Shiraz DozenRegular Price $624.00 $199.00Coming your way, three bottles of the Red Deer '22 Langhorne Creek Old Vine Shiraz. This is a wine that we can squeeze into the $199 doz comfortably. It is $35 retail and just picked up 95 points from Kim Brebach with the following words: ‘…took me right back to the early reds of Wolf Blass (also using Langhorne Creek fruit). The vibrant, slippery fruit is supercharged, bursting with bright flavour yet the wine is not overripe or high in alcohol. It’s medium-bodied, almost elegant – it’s truly rare to find such intensity of flavour in a gentle red. So far so good; we’re on track for a good $199 doz. Then it starts to get silly, because we’ve also shoehorned in three bottles of the 2015 Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz: a 96-point stunner, mid weight and drinking beautifully. No rush though, you can drink this any time over the next 10 years. Next up, three of Greenock Estate’s Sieger 777 Old Vine Barossa Shiraz. This wine pulls no punches: a $50-a-bottle, full-throttle Barossa Shiraz that leaves no stone unturned in its mission to stone your palate to death. Drink it carefully; it's big! To complete the heavy-hitting, we have three $75-a-bottle Angas King Reserve Clare Shiraz. We’ve already sold a bucketload of this wine and had a heap of repeat orders for it. It's decent value at $75, exceptional when you can pick it up in this doz with an average bottle price of just $16.58! Learn More
- The McLaren Vale Red DozenRegular Price $764.00 $295.00
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.
