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. 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!

Just cracking Riesling here... The Gomersal is a lime laden lovely and gold winner from the Adelaide Show. The Curator offers lime and grapefruit, citrus blossom and pith. Claymore's Horse is just as elegant and racy as the name implies and the Jeanneret Sevenhill is a 96 point stunner - ethereal, citrus-laden and powerful. Finally, the Vickery Castine Hill is magnificent - it is Huon Hook's equal highest rated Clare Riesling from the 2020 vintage, from 67 reviewed. He says, '...superbly fresh and aromatic nose of fresh-cut flowers, lemon juice and pith, honey and citrus blossoms, the palate super-fine and delicate in its structure but marvellously intense in flavour, the acidity perfectly balanced and the finish very long and seamless, with perfect line. The finish is very dry and has a whisper of tannin assisting the dryness. A delicious wine, and one that should continue to age superbly'. Learn More

Shiraz might be King, but in a world where Charles/Chas/Chuckles of Windsor looks like an anemic alternative to his departed mum (bless ‘er cotton socks), we thought we’d offer you some alternative varietals actually capable of out-performing even the previous incumbent. Yes, Charles might be a watery Moscato to Her Maj’s compelling Barossa Shiraz, but we reckon we’ve conjured some alternatives which would see Charles abdicate and QE2, if she were still imbibing, pour a second glass.

All up $698 worth of alternatives for just $199.
