New Arrivals This Month

Our 13-bucks-a-bottle baker's dozens have really taken off over the last few months, so here's another one for your consideration. All up, 13 lovely bottles worth $649 for just $169.

Leading the way here are three bottles of Showblock's exceptional 95 point Cab Shiraz, an $85 RRP, deeply-fruited beauty. You'll also get three Karl's Scepter Barossa Shiraz, a rich and satisfying, black fruit and chocolate laden number. There are three bottles of the Red Deer Langhorne Cab, with blue fruits, dried herbs and a plush palate, and three bottles of 12 Noon's organic Shiraz, which is ageing beautifully. Finally, a bottle of Curtis Small Batch Shiraz, an old vine, 96 point, $100-a-bottle stunner.

There's the mid-weight and perfectly-cellared Mitchell's old vine Peppertree Shiraz which is drinking beautifully; Dowie Doole's Architect, an incredibly powerful, tiny production Shiraz with exceptionally detailed fruit; a couple from Showblock, both of which are rich and intense; Chaffey Bros trophy-winning Barossa Shiraz; and finally, Yaldara's $250-a-bottle Grand Shiraz from the unicorn '21 vintage.

Two bottles apiece of six Shiraz you could build a wall out of. Not because they are all massive or heavy but because there is not a single weak link here, not even the faintest whiff of a dud. From Claymore's delicious 2021 Clare Valley Dark Side of the Moon Shiraz to the $85-a-bottle, 96-point Showblock Shiraz from McLaren Vale, these are all genuinely delicious, and really should be in a bundle priced at $295. Grab it while it's hot!
