You’ll be getting 4 of Kilikanoon’s sumptuous 95pt Cab, 4 of Karl’s Scepter’s 94pt, complex and cedary Coonawarra Cab. 4 bottles also of Showblocks decadent $85 a bottle, 96 point McLaren Cab. Finally, we’ve managed to include a bot of Yaldara’s Grand Shiraz, a 96pt, $250 a bottle, Barossa stunner!
Learn More - A Curation of ChardonnayRegular Price $582.00 $265.00
A Chardonnay baker's dozen here, probably the first one we've ever put together! Quality kit too, with a $75 RRP Adelaide Hills Chardy from Solaris, a gold medal winner from Curtis, creamy goodness from Smalltown and a lovely Coonawarra Chardy from Katnook. So far, $462 worth for $265.
The kicker? a 13th bottle from Jean Loron... taking the total value to $582. This is an excellent white Burgundy offering layers of flavour and complexity. JL have been cranking out wine since 1711 and this premium bottling offers stone fruits, creaminess, minerality and that special creamy-meets-cheesy continuum you get when high quality fruit spends time on yeast solids in barrel. Yum!
Learn More - A Dozen Excellent Riesling PLUS Another Excellent RieslingRegular Price $396.00 $240.00Just 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
- A Sauvvy of Sauv Blanc v2.0Regular Price $141.00 $120.00
Sometimes only a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc will do. So here are six exceptional examples for you to have a crack at, from WA, Coonawarra and the Adelaide Hills.
Picardy’s Sauv Blanc Sem (85% SB) is superb and age-worthy. Three distinct clones of Sauv Blanc are used along with two different yeast strains. On opening it seems soft and delicate, but as it airs, minerality, guava, lime, passionfruit and all manner of complexities emerge. Deep Wood's trophy-winning Margaret River SSB is also a cracker, as persistent as it is aromatic and laden with citrus and tropicals. The Chain of Ponds SB is crisp and offers a lovely mix of greenery and passionfruit.
The Riposte, made by the legendary Tim and Nick Knappstein, is textural, succulent and pungent; a joy to drink. Howard are major growers in the Adelaide Hills and supply substantial quantities of fruit to what are arguably the two best known producers of SB in the region. This, their own bottling, is of course excellent too. Finally, the Cape Jaffa SB is also lovely with tropical fruits, citrus and more at play.

- A Trio of Cab from the Coonawarra, Barossa and McLaren Vale + a $250 bonusRegular Price $914.00 $250.0020 bucks a bottle for a dozen superb Cabernets here. The Scepters, which are from the Coonawarra and Barossa respectively, are varietal and full-flavoured, showing a deft winemaking hand and concentrated fruit. Dowie Doole's flagship, the very limited Architect Cab, is a $90-a-bottle thriller from the stunning '21 vintage. Just settling into its bones, the quality and power of fruit is already in evidence. Decant or, better still, cellar for a bit - this is on the way to turning itself into something very special. The bonus? A bottle of Yaldara's $250-a-bottle Grand Cuvee Barossa Shiraz. It's big - as you'd expect - but the oak, while evident, is on a tight leash, allowing the glorious fruit to really shine. Definitely decant or pop it in the dungeon for five or 10 years. Learn More
- A Very Special Grenache DozenRegular Price $850.00 $295.00
We love Grenache here at WD, probably because in Aus, particularly SA where we live, we do Grenache as well as, maybe even better than, anywhere else in the world. In this doz you'll be getting Heirloom's 24 Alcala, perhaps the best Grenache, from the best place on earth to grow it, McLaren Vale. Dandelion's flagship, 3 gold winning and 96-point Faraway Tree Grenache. Curtis' 96-point, old vine $80 a bottle stunner. Lone Palm's 95-point old vine beauty which is spicy and rich with gravelly tannins. The Treasure Trove is a multi-award winning stunner, again from Dandelion, and Purple Hands' GSM which seems to pick up a gold at every show it is entered into... 4 so far.
If you love Grenache, even if you just like it, this pack is very worthy of your consideration.
