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..!

4 bottles each of Angas King’s magnificent, $75 a bottle, 2021 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 94 point and perfectly velvety, 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

An assembly of our favourite Grenache and blends at the mo. Multiple trophy winning Kilikanoon Baudinet GSM, trophy winning Kilikanoon Prodigal, 95 point Kilikanoon Meymans GSM. Heirloom's incredible $80 a bottle Alcala Grenache and Lone Palm's old vine stunner all offer power to burn but with a brightness of fruit that is very much the modern way. The Lienert Sieben Klon (7 clone) is a lighter Grenache, but not wishy washy. with exceptional red fruits, excellent acidity and whisper fine tannins. We love all Learn More

6 bottles apiece of 2 stellar Shiraz which you can enjoy side by side, over and over again. First up, Martin’s 97 point super-premium McLaren Vale Shiraz which is packed with black and blue fruits and finished with rasps of cedar and powdery tannin. Secondly, the just released Manser Block 4 Shiraz, with 2 x 94 point scores so far, and higher honours no doubt to follow over the next 6 months or so. This is a powerhouse, black-fruited Shiraz packing cedar and vanilla which is finished with plentiful fine tannins. Learn More

When Pinot is good, it's absolutely magical... and generally terrifyingly expensive. Common refrains of inveterate Pinot drinkers include 'that's bloody good for $30', and the slightly unconvincing 'nice Pinot', uttered with equal parts relief and lament, 'cos it's decent and tastes like Pinot, but doesn't offer that ethereal, magical, sense-enveloping and expanding magic that Pinot can deliver, albeit frustratingly infrequently. We're here to fix that today, with this Pinot six-pack, which includes: 2x $28 Pinots that are better than most $40 Pinots. This is the Knappstein; light to medium bodied, fragrant, with great acidity. A lovely, moreish drop. 2x $40 Pinots which are excellent, perfumed, powerful and yet light on their feet. This is the Heirloom Velvet Fog; wafting an ethereal and refined Pinot fug, medium bodied, powerful, long and lovely. 2x $70 a bottle, best in class, Burgundian cloned STUNNERS. This is the Picardy, which is in the top handful of Pinots made in Aus. Medium bodied, superlative fruit and glassine, Burgundy-like tannins to finish. Over the past couple of vintages, at least two wine writers have named Picardy their fave Pinot of the year. It's that good! Learn More

Pinot Gris lovers, we’ve got an irresistible deal for you! This six-pack showcases two exceptional expressions of the varietal, both made with the incredible PGs of Alsace firmly in mind. These are vibrant, textural, and offer pure drinking pleasure. You'll get 3 bottles each of the Miss Zilm Pinot Gris 2023 which is beautifully balanced, offering lifted aromas of ripe pear, stone fruit, cinnamon and a hint of jasmine. The palate is silky and textured, with flavours of spiced apple, citrus zest, and a delicate minerality, finishing with refreshing acidity. The second half of this vinous tryst is the Colours of the South Pinot Gris 2024. This is lively and fruit-driven take on Pinot Gris, bursting with aromas of ripe pear, apple and spice. The palate is superbly textural, thanks to the fruit having been picked ripe and time spent being lees stirred on old French oak. It is an absolute joy to drink.

That’s $186 worth of premium Pinot Gris for just $120!

Delicious pinot here.

Leading the way, the Picardy, an 11 clone masterpiece with most of the clones sourced direct from Grand Cru growers in Burgundy and most of those retained by the Pannell's for use in Picardy Pinot only. Little wonder this is one of the most fancied Pinot in the country at the moment. Next up Heirloom's Velvet Fog, a powerful, almost muscular wine which is elevated by its nuanced red fruit perfume. Riposte's Dagger is light to medium bodied with delicate aromatics and the Solaris is another Adelaide Hills Pinot with plenty of flavour and an excellent texture.

Generous and bright, this is full fruited Shiraz crafted for those who looooove McLaren Vale Shiraz. Born from the old school, made for today, and with a good decant can be enjoyed at almost any stage of its life. It will cellar for the next 10 years, however once tasted, it'll take someone with a barrel full of self control to let it last that long.

This already had a 95 and a 96 point score. but this keeps getting better as it sits in bottle. The most recent review is in from Kim Brebach, who gave it a staggering 97 points, with comments like...

'The integration of fruit and oak is as seamless as I’ve seen in an Aussie red'

'Luscious concentration of rich, ripe fruit with overtones of chocolate and mocha'

'A stunning red that’s already gorgeous drinking'

'97 points'
