Baker's dozens have been flying out the door of recent times, so after much chin stroking, we thought we'd best make a new one. Cracking booze too, with 95+ point stunners from Lone Palm, Lienert, Curtis, Red Deer and more and the debut of Karl's Scepter's Barossa Cab. It's a punchy beast - you might need to chargrill a T-Bone to tame it. Let us know how you get on. Learn More

You might think that for 13 bucks a bottle you’d be stocking up on drain cleaner or quaffers for Friday night in front of your fave streaming service. Nope! Every wine in this pack is lovely! The Red Deer is midweight and complex, the Brickfielder a full throttle, 95 point McLaren Vale stunner. The Yarra Celebration is light to medium but savoury and with lovely fruit - and the Scepter Barossa Cab is a beast worthy of a T-Bone. Finally, the 13th bottle is Curtis' Small Batch, Old Vine, 96 point McLaren Vale Shiraz, a magical wine with exceptional depth of flavour. Learn More

You might think that for 13 bucks a bottle you’d be stocking up on quaffers for Friday night in front of Netflix, or for a mid-week dinner with leftovers. Nope! There is not a single quaffer in this pack. The Red Deer is a fruitful and spicy Shiraz, well-seasoned with oak sourced from 50-year-old vines. The Tomich offers great fruit and spice in a medium bodied setting and Montara’s Homeblock is also mid-weight with lovely soft tannins and fruit. BONUS - we’ve made this a baker’s dozen, topping it off with a bottle of the stunning Yaldara Grand Cab Shiraz, a mammoth 96pt red packed with high intensity Barossa goodness. Learn More

Hard to go past this one ‘cos the booze is excellent and the value undeniable. We start with the Yaldara Premier Shiraz. A magnificently smooth, medium to full bodied, blue and black fruited Barossa Valley Shiraz. This is light on its feet despite its fruit intensity, has beautiful polish and finishes with high quality cedary French oak and fine tannins. You will also be cracking into the Curtis Limited Shiraz, with wine writer scores of 96 and a 95 already. It is drinking magnificently, with structure and depth of black and blue fruits and length and persistence which are exceptional. Finally, we have the black fruited and chocolatey Karl’s Scepter Shiraz. Learn More

It’s not every day we can squeeze in a $200 bonus into a pack at an asking price of just $199 but let’s not get ahead of ourselves! First, the pack. You’ll be getting 4 bottles of Karl’s Scepter Barossa Shiraz, a stunner made by a former senior Penfolds winemaker. Next up, old vine glory from Metala, a very special bottling made primarily from the original 1891 plantings. Not to be outdone, a magical McLaren Vale Shiraz from Brickfielder, with exceptional length and depth of fruit. This pack is already a ripper. All 3 wines are brilliant. That said, you are a subscriber... so the following bonus will also be yours.

The bonus, a bottle of Yaldara’s Grand Cab Shiraz 2018. Twice given 96 points, this is a rich, dense and sonorous siren song written in wondrous fruit, on the best quality oak, giving voice to feelings of fealty to the best of the Barossa. It’s that good!

Here’s a dozen Shiraz from the Barossa, the Clare Valley and McLaren Vale, with a 95-point Clare Shiraz, 95 pointers from McLaren Vale and a trio of Shiraz made by former Penfolds winemaker Oliver Crawford.

We’ve also included a bonus bottle of Yaldara’s Grand Cuvée, which Sam Kim has just rated at 96 points, saying ‘This is superbly ripe and perfumed with black/blueberry, vanillin oak, warm spice and mocha notes on the nose. The powerfully concentrated palate delivers outstanding weight and opulence, together with velvety texture and fine-grained tannins, making it gratifying and immensely appealing.’ At its best: now to 2039.

Who'd have thought you could buy a dozen quality Shiraz for $12.50 a bottle?

Four bottles of the Brickfielder Barossa, a $45 a bottle, 94pt, explosive, chocolate and black-fruited beast covers the asking price of the pack, by itself. The Karl's Scepter Barossa, another 94 pointer is rich and smooth with good depth of flavour. Both will cellar well but are enjoyable now- more so if you have time to give them a quick decant. The Yarra Shiraz is mid-weight and savoury. It's been a slow burn this one, but as more people try it, we are seeing sales for it swell. It's a genuinely lovely everyday drink, and we're even getting orders for it from peeps in the industry.

This is the 3rd reworking of our most successful Grenache pack ever. The reboot sees us lose the lovely Z Wine GSM, a trophy winner with an rrp of $45, replacing that with Heirloom’s Halliday 95 pointed, $80 a bottle, 2021 Alcala Grenache. This #3 edition will no doubt rocket out the door even faster than #2. Learn More

A wonderful selection of red wines from the Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley. The Sieben Klon is a 95 pointer made by former St Henri growers, the Metala Legacy is as good a Cab as the Langhorne can make (which is mighty fine). Dowie Doole's Shiraz has black fruits, but also, and much rarer, blue fruits too. It is a belter. If all Shiraz had black and blue fruits, no one would buy anything else! Lone Palm's Old Vine Grenache will sell out in a few months and the Angas King Reserve is incredibly fresh for its age and has at least a decade ahead of it. We're predicting a lot of staff orders for this one. Learn More

4 bottles each of Angas King’s magnificent, $75 a bottle, 2017 reserve Shiraz. We tried this twice on the tasting panel and loved it both times- it looked even better a day after opening and has a bright future ahead of it. Ken Gargett said, ‘still very young … powerful with a long and exciting future. Seamless, with bright acidity and silky tannins plus a very long finish which maintains the intensity. Drink now and for 10 to 20 years.’ You’ll also get 4 bottles of Martin’s 97 point $150 a bottle McLaren Vale Shiraz, and 4 of Karl Scepter’s 93-point, succulent and chocolatey Barossa Cab. Finally a $200 a bottle, 96 point Barossa Cab Shiraz from Yaldara! Learn More
