Geographe, WA Wine Packs
- Altred State of ConsumenessRegular Price $536.00 $250.00
A meditation on all things red that aren't Shiraz or Cab. We've got Touriga, Grenache, Tempranillo, Mataro, Montepulciano, Negroamaro and Aglianico happening here, and a smidge of Shiraz in the Kilikanoon GSM. All things alt red, all offering a very different pathway to pleasure than straight Shiraz and Cabernet. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Tough judging this year, with only around 5% of wines picking up a gold, and we can confirm that the quality of this year’s dozen is absolute fire across the board.
Every wine in the pack this year is a gold winner. There are also a couple of trophy winners: the After Five Monte, and Forester’s Shiraz. The latter is 86% Shiraz and 14% Fer… yep, an ancient varietal of Basque origin, which these days is also planted in some southern French wine regions. There is also a bit of it planted over in WA. The variety offers cassis, red fruits, black fruits, superb intensity and a degree of smokiness. This might be the first time a trophy winner at the Adelaide Wine Show has contained Fer, which offers a nice opportunity for nerdy contemplation. More importantly, the wine is beautiful. Looking beyond the accolades garnered at the Adelaide Show, these wines have also accrued an additional 10 gold medals, a trophy, a runner up in Halliday’s annual Cabernet competition and more. These wines are uniformly exceptional.

Shiraz might be King, but in a world where Charles/Chas/Chuckles of Windsor looks like an anemic alternative to his departed mum (bless ‘er cotton socks), we thought we’d offer you some alternative varietals actually capable of out-performing even the previous incumbent. Yes, Charles might be a watery Moscato to Her Maj’s compelling Barossa Shiraz, but we reckon we’ve conjured some alternatives which would see Charles abdicate and QE2, if she were still imbibing, pour a second glass.
All up $698 worth of alternatives for just $199.
