Heirloom Vineyards Wine Packs

We're very excited to be offering this 6 pack, replete with 3 bottles apiece of Jean Loron's exceptional White Burgundy, aka French Chardonnay, from a place that arguably does Chardy better than anywhere else on the planet. Also heading your way, should you choose to order, 3 bottles of Heirloom's magical 'Assens Fortalice' Adelaide Hills cuvée. Both are slap in the middle of their perfect drinking windows too, being from the 2019 and 2018 vintages. Burgundy expert Bill Nanson said of the Jean Loron in 2020 'this wine is about the future ... more complexity and vibrance to this aroma, more barrel, saline, concentrated and certainly mineral. The finish is subtle but very persistent. The oak is an ever-present but here’s a wine that’s rather complete – and having tasted older vintages I know that the oak fades into the background – you should give this wine at least 3 years in the cellar – or I would anyway. Excellent wine, with the potential for great. Tasted in 2020.' We can confirm, this wine is now cherry ripe for drinking now and over the next 5-8 years. The Heirloom bottling represents the finest Chardonnay they can produce in any given vintage - this edition sees struck match handing the baton to stonefruits, pancake batter and melon. As you sip, swirl and taste, the flavors deepen and increase in richness and depth. Already excellent, this will be exceptional in a few more years All in all, a cracking Chardy pack and a great opportunity to compare 2 exceptional wines. Learn More

We love a cellared red here at WD. Take a massive red, give it a few years to marinate in its own juices, softening a little and losing the rough edges, and we're hearing 'hello, Saturday night'! Here's how it might unfold. It’s Saturday night and near-spent charcoal is shimmering wobbly blues and greys ‘neath the griddle, whilst a hint of wood smoke tantalizes your olfactories. The sounds of a salad being constructed threatens to accost your reverie. You deny this repugnant intrusion, note that two magnificent slices of aged steak have just reached room temp, and usher your mind towards their perfect bottled accompaniment. It will come from somewhere superb, perhaps the McLaren Vale, Barossa, or the Clare Valley. It might be a perfectly-cellared Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz, with its savoury sensibility and whisper-fine tannins, or perhaps a glorious Coonawarra Cabernet, all violets and blue fruit on a bed of cedar, or really any of the other beautiful wines in this dozen. You snap out of your reverie and snap open your chosen bottle. It’s time to pour a glass, place those steaks mindfully on the griddle and perhaps conjure up the tiniest salad plates imaginable. Today is not a salad day!

This is the 4th reworking of our most successful Grenache pack ever. Each successive version has outsold the last and we reckon v4.0 will follow that trend. This version featured Heirloom's world class Alcala Grenache, incredible old vine goodness from Lone Palm and Curtis, Lienert Brother's delicate yet utterly compelling multi clonal beauty and Curator's Single Barrel Grenache. Only 300 bottles of this magic Grenache were made, we snaffled just over half of them! Learn More

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.

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

A Chardonnay, how we love thee! 6 cracking examples here from all over the place, including the Adelaide Hills, Limestone Coast, the Hunter and the Coonawarra. Spearheaded by Heirloom's 2018 reserve, worth $60 a bottle and Sidewood's 96 Halliday pointed and 6 gold medal winning stunner. All up $212 worth of delicious Chardy for just $140. Learn More

We kick off with the celebrated Heirloom Alcala Grenache. The '22 picked up the Decanter Trophy for world's best Grenache in a substantial field of heavy hitting Grenache from Aus, France, Spain, California and more. There's also Lone Palm's Old Vine Grenache, a wine made in tiny quantities which we rate as highly as the Alcala. Then the Sieben Klon, a multi clonal, ethereal Barossa Grenache which is altogether lighter, but no less compelling. From there, excellent examples of Tempranillo, Montepulciano and Sangiovese made by Mike Farmilo, who used to make Penfolds Grange. These are genuinely excellent too! Learn More

A magical assortment of Grenache and Grenache dominant blends from our fave producers. 3 bottles of the Lienert multi-clonal, fragrant and compelling beauty, 3 of Curtis' mid-weight, fragrant and generous Heritage, plus 3 of their stunning 96 point Small Batch Grenache. 3 of the Purple Hands GSM, which we reckon is the best wine featuring Grenache they have ever released. Finally, a single bottle of the $80 RRP Heirloom Anevo Fortress, a super fragrant, dark and deep blend of Grenache off their finest vineyard with a little each of achingly pure Tempranillo and Touriga.
