The McLaren Vale Red Dozen
We love McLaren Vale here at winedirect.com.au. These reds have soul – rich, fruit-driven and generous – drinking beautifully from the first glass to the last.
They’re relaxed enough to lift a pizza after mid-week sport, but easily classy enough to eyeball a fillet steak on Friday night.
This pack brings together six absolute beauties, including Oliver’s Taranga Shiraz 2022 – from a Halliday 5 Red Star winery and Grange grower, this is pure McLaren power with polish to spare. There's Pasha Shiraz 2021 – A 97-point, $100-a-bottle stunner that balances opulence and finesse in one hell of a package. From Dowie Doole, their flagship Architect Cabernet Sauvignon, a 96-pointer and, in our view, one of the best Cabs coming out of the Vale right now. Dandelion Vineyards 'Treasure Trove' Grenache 2019 – vibrant, silken, and wildly aromatic. Staff orders are full of this stuff – and for good reason. And if that's not quite enough, and to be fair 'cos there are 12 slots in the box, Showblock's ‘Rosie’ Red 2019 – A bold, full-throttle blend that’s rich, ripe, and ready to go. Big wine, big flavour, big fun.

Bright red fruit wrapped in the silk and spice you’d expect from a classic McLaren Vale Shiraz. Generous yet balanced, with a vibrant acidity that lifts the fruit. Layers of well-integrated oak add structure, making this a wine that will cellar beautifully for 10+ years.
Worth getting in touch with us for mate's rates on this one.
A wonderful Grenache with a little age. New school bright fruit and exceptionally deftly placed tannins meet high-quality, old-school oak. Ned Goodwin from the Halliday Wine Companion wrote a year ago ‘too much mocha-vanilla-infused oak enshrouding this, the fruit and structural latticework beyond it is sublime, auguring well for future change... Raspberry bon-bon, thyme, orange zest and lavender. The acidity, juicy and palpably natural. The grape tannins, lithe and etched with grace... I score this with the promise to which I hold it.’ A year later and this wine’s time has arrived, it is a ripper!
A shapeshifter, this one.
Like your Shiraz big and fully loaded? This is the wine for you.
Like it mid weight, expressive and fragrant? This is the one for you.
We're not quite sure how they've done it- but this is perfectly balanced, with an exceptional density of fruit and gloriously detailed fruit, perfect if you are looking for something nuanced and precise, equally adept at just filling you to the brim with masses of fruit.
Black fruits, blue fruits, plum, chocolate, spice and glorious acidity.
A stunner which will improve for well over a decade.
A magical organic McLaren Vale Shiraz from the highly prized Wits End vineyard. This has a wonderful red/black fruit fragrance, dense yet luscious fruits, violet notes and excellent intensity and length. Drink with gusto now but if your preference is cellared reds, you could also put this down for a decade or more.
