Mclaren Vale Red Wines

Head south from Adelaide for 45 minutes along the coastline and you’ll hit the McLaren Vale wine region, which boasts stunning natural beauty, a Mediterranean climate, and some incredibly talented winemakers. Given that the region accounts for a small percentage of Australia’s total wine production and exports, it certainly punches above its weight in terms of quality, and we reckon the wines coming out of this region are some of the best in the country. McLaren Vale is where South Australian wine was born, and it has a rich and respected history of producing world-class Grenache, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon.

    Clusters of Luxe, a Cabernet Dozen

    An incredible Cab dozen here, with both the Dowie Doole and the Showblock Cabernet more than covering the asking price.

    Kim Brebach gave the Dowie 96 points, having also given the 19 96 points- and compared it favourably to the $600+ wine of Gaja. It is selling incredibly quickly

    More recently he gave the Showblock Reserve 97 points with the note' ‘It’s a complete wine in every way… real class here.' Kim doesn't give points away either..!

    This contains a bottle each of

    Wicks Pamela Sparkling, a trophy winning Adelaide Hills sparkling which is made using the Champagne method. Its one of the best Aussie sparklings money can buy.

    Dowie Doole's Sparkling Shiraz, made entirely from an A-grade Shiraz solera which has been in continuous use since 1996. Stunning fruit and just slightly sweet, this is exceptional.

    Jeanneret's Sevenhill Riesling- 96 points from Sam Kim. This offers an ethereal fragrance and a powerful core of intense Riesling fruit. Lively and beguiling simultaneously.

    Kilikanoon Tregea Cabernet - this is Kilikanoon's Flagship Cab; rich and densely fruited, needs decanting and might just be the perfect thing to have with roast Lamb.

    Lone Palm Old Vine Grenache. Old Vine Grenache with a splash of old vine Shiraz. !00% Barossa Valley, 100% French oak. Spicy, black fruited and beautifully balanced.

    Irvine Grand Merlot 2018. Australia's greatest Merlot; rich and smooth, laden with ripe tobacco leaf, plums and more. Just a beautiful thing to put in your head.

    Ultimate Alt Red Dozen
    Regular Price $698.00 $199.00

    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.

Retail on this one is $50 and it represents incredible value. We reckon there are a couple of Barossa producers who'd offer this wine at $100 or more. There’s plenty more good stuff in this pack too.
