- 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
- Alternative Whites are AllwhiteRegular Price $446.00 $199.00It's been a mighty long time since we've offered an alternative whites doz. No excuses; the last one sold really well, and this is overdue. This is a cracking alternative white pack, featuring two Vermentinos, one of which scored 97 points from Halliday, a Fiano and a Chenin, which Kim Brebach described as the best Aussie Chenin he's ever had. There's an awesome bonus too, in the form of First Creek's 96 point Murphy Sem. Two of these wines - the Halliday 96 and 97 pointers - were made by Liz Silkman, just crowned by James Halliday as his Winemaker of the Year! Learn More
- Epic Baker's DozenRegular Price $1,310.00 $360.00Some 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

There's a trophy-winning Clare Grenache from the legends at Kilikanoon; a 96-point and twin gold McLaren Shiraz; Curator Wine Co's achingly intense and pure Greenock Shiraz, laden with black fruits, cedar and graphite; Yaldara's $200-a-bottle behemoth and Dowie Doole's two exceptional flagship reds.

You've been asking for packs with a bit more variety - we heard ya and made one which went gangbusters. So here's another amazing selection... plus we've even managed to include an incredible 13th bottle in the shape of Dowie Doole's $90 a bottle Architect Cabernet...
Here's something a little different, a pack with Cab, Tempranillo, Sangio, and Shiraz...
You'll be getting 2 bottles apiece of 2 alternative Mclaren Vale/Fleurieu Peninsula reds from Colab and Bloom, made by Mike Farmilo who used to make Penfolds Grange - their exquisite Sangiovese and Tempranillo. These are both award winners with reviews akin to the following, (from Kim Brebach for the Sangiovese) "What a lovely surprise! OK, it’s not Brunello di Montalcino, but it’s a great bistro red that goes really well with tomatoes, olives, smoked meats, pork sausages, tasty cheeses and heaps more. Light on its feet, elegant even, but big on flavour. Love this! 94 points. A Must Try Red".
You'll also be getting a couple of bottles of the magical $75 a bottle Angas King 2017 Reserve Shiraz, which was our biggest selling wine in March, and 2 of Red Deer's 95 point, old vine Shiraz.
To seal the deal, a bottle of Dowie Doole's stunning $90 a bottle flagship 'Architect' Cabernet.

Learn More - The Exceptional White 6-PackRegular Price $348.00 $199.00So much goodness here in what is our most premium white pack in ages. It includes two First Creek Semillons, both of which picked up 96 points from Halliday, placing them equal fifth in a field of 180 tasted so far. Then there's a 96 point White Burgundy (aka Chardonnay) from Jean Loron which retails for $120 a bottle. Grant Burge's Savvy Blanc, which picked up the best SB trophy at the Adelaide Show. Plus Jeanneret's $40 a bottle, 96 point Watervale Riesling and Dowie Doole's exceptional, old vine Chenin Blanc. A bit more detail on this one, cos Chenin is not as well known as Rizza, Sem and Chardy. As Kim Brebach wrote when reviewing this wine, 'The best Aussie Chenin Blanc I’ve tasted, by a mile. The wine was matured in French oak, with some lees stirring I suspect. That has added complexity without suppressing the vibrant fruit ... Crunch and real backbone, and will improve with age, even, like those wines from Vouvray on the lower Loire in France. Unheard of. Brilliant.' Learn More
