The Revelation Mixed Baker's Dozen

Having sold a boatload of VIP dozens of late, we've been asked to produce a similarly high-end mixed dozen - so here it is, and we've made it a baker's doz!

Coming your way:

2 x Wicks Pamela Sparkling - a bready, toasty, yeasty, trophy winning sparkling which is as good as anything we can produce here in Oz.

2 x Jeanneret Sevenhill Riesling - a 96-point stunner which is both fragrant and light on its feet but with a beautifully intense core of citrus.

2 x Jean Loron Chardy... aka French Chardonnay, aka, White Burgundy. we've had lots of our wine industry mates grabbing this from us and with good reason - it is glorious!

2 x Lone Palm Hillside Shiraz - 96 points from a coupl'a wine writers and often compared to Grange - this offers superb fruit but is not so dense and oaked that it can't be enjoyed now. Getting better with every passing month.

2 x Yaldara Grand Cuvée Shiraz '21. Mean, black, intense, complex. Decant - the dark and malevolent core of this beast just keeps unfurling as you feed it air!

2 x Angas King Reserve Shiraz. 7 years of age and with another 7 (minimum) ahead of it. Great on days 1, even better a day after opening. So fresh, with superb fruit and a bit of spice.

So, withour the 13th bottle, we're already at $1,280 worth of superbity (if saying said same is not evidence of absurdity) for $565.

As this is being hidden as a VIP offer, we're comfortable to include a 13th bottle: Kilikanoon's Revelation Shiraz. Made only occasionally (5 releases since 2010), this is made in tiny quantities (100-200 dozen) and is genuinely breathtaking. We've taken it to 2 blind tastings.

Tasting 1 included Penfolds Grange - and everyone in the room named the Kilikanoon wine of the night, after the wines had been tasted but before their identities were revealed!

Tasting 2 - wine of the night went to a Bordeaux costing several thousand dollars a bottle. The Revelation did come out in front of the Grange though!

All up $1,830 worth for just $565!
