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

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.

A fabulous selection of alt reds with plenty of new stuff. The trophy winning Clare Grenache from Kilikanoon and the superb 95 point Durif from Curtis have been in our stable for a while. The new stuff? Magical old vine Grenache from Songlines and a superb old vine Mataro Grenache blend, both from the Barossa, both made by Tom White of Lone Palm fame! They are both superb. Also a couple of new to us Barossa beauties from White Gate. White Gate are low-fi, or perhaps more accurately, light touch. They work primarily with organic and biodynamic producers, pick early and make minimal additions to the wine during ferment and prior to bottling. They figure that starting with A-grade fruit and picking a bit earlier than the norm allows them to bypass a lot of the corrective work that has to be otherwise undertaken to ensure wine stability and longevity. As a bonus, this allows the fruit to really shine. The proof is in the pudding and we can heartily attest that the pud is good!

Finally, we’ve managed to include a bot of Yaldara’s Grand Shiraz, a 96pt, $250 a bottle, Barossa stunner!

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!

An incredible Cab dozen here, with both the Dowie Doole and the Showblock Cabernet more than covering the asking price.

Kim Brebach gave the Dowie 96 points, having also given the 19 96 points- and compared it favourably to the $600+ wine of Gaja. It is selling incredibly quickly

More recently he gave the Showblock Reserve 97 points with the note' ‘It’s a complete wine in every way… real class here.' Kim doesn't give points away either..!

An assembly of our favourite Grenache and blends at the mo. Multiple trophy winning Kilikanoon Baudinet GSM, trophy winning Kilikanoon Prodigal, Curtis' 96 point old viner and Lone Palm's old vine 95 pointer all offer power to burn but with a brightness of fruit that is very much the modern way. The Lienert and Brother's at War are lighter Grenache, but not wishy washy. Both of these offer exceptional red fruits, excellent acidity and whisper fine tannins. We love all 6 of these wines.

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

Another Tasting Panel no-brainer here. A stunning McLaren Cab with 96 points from Sam Kim, which we can offer for $25 a bottle. Done!

Hot off the press, 97 points from Kim Brebach with the following words:

"Stunning red, and it’s not just the rich goodies it’s stacked with – black berries, leather, licorice, dark chocolate, gravel dust and more – but the way it fits together so seamlessly. Sure there’s a strong backbone, after all it has a lot to carry. It’s a complete wine in every way, yet it doesn’t shout about it. Real class here."

This is a big beast but retains varietal aromatics and flavours. Blue fruits, cassis, cigar box, cedar, black tea and more - all of the good stuff that makes for complex and compelling Cabernet. Drinks beautifully now, but you can tuck it away, too.

All up, $510 RRP for this six-pack which will set you back just $150. Grab two six-packs and they will come to you FREIGHT FREE.

Here's a perfectly cellared Yarra Shiraz made by an industry legend which combines quality fruit, savouries and fine tannins. It is drinking really well now and should keep doing so over the next few years. A medium bodied, fragrant. blue fruited and peppery Shiraz from the Yarra Valley. There are red fruits here too, specifically cranberry. The wine is soft and bright with good length. Great with charcuterie or perhaps a prosciutto pizza. At time of writing, 8 customers have reviewed this secret offer giving it an average of 4.9 stars. This is remarkable in and of itself and absolutely incredible for a wine you can pick up here for just 10 bucks a bottle. Learn More
