Kilikanoon Wine Packs
- 6 Mixed Clare BearsRegular Price $237.00 $120.00It's been a while since we’ve conjured the clarion call of the Clare in the form of a cunningly crafted mixed 6’er. This edition is replete with 2 regal Rieslings and four fab reds from Jeanneret, Mitchell and Kilikanoon. Bring ‘em home and cuddle ‘em now. Learn More
- A Composed Composition of CabernetRegular Price $652.00 $265.00
Every now and then a plan comes together. This time, it’s the creation of a reasonably priced Cab dozen which includes Winestate Magazine’s Cabernet of the year! And not just one bottle, we’ve managed to fit 4 bottles of it into this pack!
You’ll also be getting 4 of Kilikanoon’s sumptuous 95pt Cab, and 4 of Karl’s Scepter’s 94pt, complex and cedary Coonawarra Cab. Finally, we’ve managed to include a bot of Yaldara’s Grand Cab Shiraz, a 96pt, $200 a bottle, Barossa stunner!
Learn More - Alt. Reds incl. 2 Kilikanoon StunnersRegular Price $259.50 $150.00There really isn't a weak link in this pack. From the Mike Farmilo (ex Penfolds Grange) made Temp and Sangio, to the Brothers at War gold winning and Halliday 95 pointed Grenache, which is as powerful as it is light on its feet. The Mazza Touriga is a ripper too, tiny production, epic aromatics and a softness which belies its complexity. To seal the deal, Kilikanoon's Prodigal Grenache, awarded best Grenache of Show at the incredibly competitive Royal Adelaide Wine Show, and the just released, and even more sharply limited Walton's Grenache, sourced from a tiny block planted in 1946.

- Just Great GrenacheRegular Price $646.00 $295.00An 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.

- Just Super-Premium '21 Reds from the Barossa, Clare & McLaren ValeRegular Price $1,260.00 $360.00This pack is our homage to the genius 2021 vintage, a 'unicorn' vintage, which gave good volume coupled with a really high proportion of A-grade fruit. 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. These are magnificent, one and all. Learn More
- Platinum Wine Club WhitesRegular Price $354.00 $189.00
A ripping selection of whites in the August Platinum Wine Club selection. Smalltown's stone fruity and textural Chardonnay, Jeanneret's achingly pure Clare Riesling, Kilikanoon's world-class, deeply fruited Clare Riesling and Hastwell's subtle and saline Vermentino. All wonderful.

Answering the call from y'all for some more varied packs, we've put this beauty together with a magic bonus. This lot might not be a riot of colours, given they are all red, but they certainly offer a big variety of different flavours.
You'll be getting 2 bottles apiece of 3 alternative McLaren Vale/Fleurieu Peninsula Reds from Colab and Bloom, made by Mike Farmilo who used to make Penfolds Grange - their exquisite Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Tempranillo. These are all 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, 2 of Kilikanoon's incredible, $50, 95 point Clare Cabs and a couple of Wishbone's excellent Shiraz Cab.
To seal the deal, an incredible $96, 96pt 2021 Walton’s old vine Grenache. It’s a ripper.
Learn More - Riotous Red Baker's Dozen v2.0Regular Price $589.00 $200.00
The wines may all be red, but the variety here comes from the different varietals and regions it showcases.
Included in the pack are two bottles each of three alternative McLaren Vale/Fleurieu Peninsula reds from Colab and Bloom, made by Mike Farmilo who used to make Penfolds Grange. The Sangiovese, Montepulciano and Tempranillo are all award winners, with reviews like the following from Kim Brebach (of 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."
This pack also includes a couple of bottles of the ever-popular $75-a-bottle Angas King 2017 Reserve Shiraz, which has been one of our bestsellers in recent months, two bottles of Kilikanoon's incredible 95-point Clare Valley Cabernet, and a couple of Wishbone's excellent Shiraz Cabernet.
To seal the deal, a bonus bottle of Lone Palm's $120-a-bottle, 96 point Barossa Shiraz. Something for everyone!
Learn More - Six Ripper RieslingsRegular Price $223.00 $140.00We like to think of this as a South Australian Riesling sampler pack... once you find your favourites, hit us up for mates rates. Included is the 95 point pristine old vine Dandelion Riesling from the Eden Valley; a 95 point Riesling from Riesling masters Kilikanoon; Lone Palm's 95 pointer, Gomersal's Gold winner, Miss Zilm's magical 95-pointer and more. These are all terrific! Learn More

Learn More - The Perfectly-Cellared Bundle Plus Some Very Expensive HomeworkRegular Price $1,166.00 $295.00
We had a bit of a think about which wines are floating our boat the most at the moment from a cellared perspective. You know, where the tannins have softened a bit and some complexity is emerging but there is still a solid accent on fresh, primary fruit. We settled on five wines: a 96-pointer from Mitchell (The Peppertree), a 95-pointer from Angas King, Kilikanoon's trophy-winning Grenache, JJ Hahn's 96-pointer from a vineyard planted in the 1890s and a 96-pointer from McLaren Vale. These are bulletproof and will work when you crack 'em at home, as a gift, or for when you head around to friends for a catch up. That all seemed like we were making things a bit too easy, so we've given you some homework in the form of two bottles of Yaldara's 96 point, $250-a-bottle Grand Cuvee Shiraz. You could study these now, but you'll want to bust out the cheat notes (decanter) so you can get a good sense of what's going on here. Do that, and you'll find these very engaging and informative already. Failing that, stick 'em away for a decade or so!
