2017 Wine Packs

The $13-a-bottle baker's dozens have been going mental of late, such that editions one through three have sold out. We think this one is even better than its predecessors - well worth a look! You'll be getting three bottles apiece of Sieger's black fruited, old vine Barossa Shiraz, worth $50 a bottle; Karl's Scepter's Coonawarra Cab; 95 point old vine Shiraz from Red Deer and a lovely Yarra Shiraz as well. PLUS a bottle of Curtis Small Batch old vine McLaren Vale Shiraz. This has accrued scores at 95, 96, and 96 points and a couple of gold medals, too. RRP $100 a bottle! Learn More

Here is an opportunity to stock up on some glorious reds and save $820 in the process. This pack includes Dowie Doole’s best of vintage, 96 point, $90 a bottle, Architect Cab, Angas King’s sublime reserve Shiraz from the Clare Valley and the Curtis old vine, 96 point McLaren Vale Shiraz. All yours for just $240, aka $20 a bottle with FREE Freight. Learn More

Sometimes you just want the comfort of a perfectly cellared Shiraz. The tannins softening, the fruit pushing forward, oak and tannin less 'shield wall' and more 'sheet-yeah'. So here they are: Mitchell's legendary Peppertree, a 96-pointer from 2015 that we sourced direct from the winery; the marvelous 2017 Angas King, a 95-pointer which has become a bestseller here at WD; and Sieger's 'take no prisoners' black Barossan. On release, drinking the Sieger must have been a bit like whipping on a pair of pants about two sizes too small; doable, but not without pain! Now it is drinking beautifully, still massive and with huge flavours, but also an undeniable pleasure. A bonus? Sure: a bottle of Yaldara's $250-a-bottle Barossa Shiraz. It's from the exceptional '21 vintage, so it's drinkable now, but we'd recommend drinking the rest of the pack now and tucking this one away for a rainy day. 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

Some pretty flash booze here. The Angas King is a 95 point and perfectly cellared, deeply fruited beauty from the Clare. The Curtis just keeps picking up awards (most recently, 2 gold medals) and is a $100 a bottle, old vine McLaren Vale belter. The Architect, from Dowie Doole, offers superb intensity of fruit and is decent value at $90 a bottle. There are 4 bottles of each of the aforementioned coming your way. To seal the deal, a bottle of Yaldara's Grand Cuvée Shiraz, from the unicorn '21 vintage, this is a $250 retail stunner - a cracking example of just how good Barossa Shiraz can be. Learn More

It's been a while since we rolled out a double dozen. Fair to say they have always sold well and offer excellent coverage for the requirements of the silly season.

Crackers here like Mitchell Kalmar - a $50 a bottle, single vineyard Shiraz, Deep Woods SBS - a trophy winner from Margaret River. Showblock Rosie, a 95 point, $85 a bottle blend from McLaren Vale and Greenock Estate's Sieger old vine Barossa Shiraz. 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.

All up 24 bottles worth $964 for just $15 a bottle and the bulk of your Christmas entertaining catered for beautifully!

We love a cellared red here at WD. Take a massive red, give it a few years to marinate in its own juices, softening a little and losing the rough edges, and we're hearing 'hello, Saturday night'! Here's how it might unfold. It’s Saturday night and near-spent charcoal is shimmering wobbly blues and greys ‘neath the griddle, whilst a hint of wood smoke tantalizes your olfactories. The sounds of a salad being constructed threatens to accost your reverie. You deny this repugnant intrusion, note that two magnificent slices of aged steak have just reached room temp, and usher your mind towards their perfect bottled accompaniment. It will come from somewhere superb, perhaps the McLaren Vale, Barossa, or the Clare Valley. It might be a perfectly-cellared Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz, with its savoury sensibility and whisper-fine tannins, or perhaps a glorious Coonawarra Cabernet, all violets and blue fruit on a bed of cedar, or really any of the other beautiful wines in this dozen. You snap out of your reverie and snap open your chosen bottle. It’s time to pour a glass, place those steaks mindfully on the griddle and perhaps conjure up the tiniest salad plates imaginable. Today is not a salad day!

At just $15 a bottle, this could be our best ever value Shiraz pack. The 'quaffer', aka Yarra Celebration Shiraz has scored an average of 4.4 stars out of 5 from customers who have bought it from us. We like it too... good fruit, mid weight, too good to be called a quaffer. The Angas King is a $75 a bottle stunner from the Clare. Richness, intensity and complexity in spades here in a wine which is only just entering its ideal drinking window and will drink well for at least another decade. Sidewood's Shiraz has harvested 12 gold medals and 96 points from Halliday. These are estate grown, hand tended vines- with the best fruit picked by a Pellenc select harvester. Lesser quality fruit does not find its way into this wine. Consider also, the use of 12 individual clones separately wild yeast fermented, given extended maceration on skins in barrel and then matured for 15 months in 100% French oak, 25% of which is new. Finally, only the best barrels make the cut for bottling. Learn More
