Lloyd Brothers Claymore Wine Packs

It'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

Save over 65% on this magical mixed baker’s doz with multiple gold medals, and plenty of effusive words from worthy wine scribes. There’s Lloyd Brothers Méthode Champenoise Adelaide Hills Sparkling. Méthode Champenoise refers to the laborious process whereby the wine is aged on lees in bottle to build complexity and depth of flavour. Costs a lot of both money and time to produce sparkling this way but the results in this instance are undeniable. See also Villa Fresco Frizzante, an Aussie Alternative to prosecco, packed with vibrant fruit and gorgeous bubbles. See also Clare Riesling from Kilikanoon. On the red front, the concentrated, 95pt Kilikanoon Shiraz, 2 delicious Cabernets, and half a dozen awesome Shiraz from the Barossa, McLaren Vale, and Langhorne Creek. Included is the magnificent Stonehouse Neldner Old Vine Shiraz. This $150 a bottle Barossa Valley, old vine powerhouse inspired which has inspired more than a few comparisons to Penfolds Grange. There’s also stunning 97pt Martins Limited Shiraz, and Pasha’s epic, rich, and fruit-intense McLaren Vale Shiraz. This one retails for $100 a bottle and is one of our best selling wines of all time.

Just exceptional Riesling from the likes of the following superstars: Vickery, Kilikanoon, and Claymore. Includes an incredible reserve Vickery Eden Valley, a great Eden Riesling from one of Australian Riesling’s best producers and pioneers. There’s also a 95 point stunner from Kilikanoon. The fragrant and mouthwateringly delicious and intense old viner from Leconfield which Halliday gave 95 points is just another stunner in a pack with so very many of ‘em. Learn More

An excellent collection of award winning whites here, including Claymore's Riesling which picked up Gold at the competitive International Riesling Challenge, Lone Palm's exceptional old vine Rizza of which the Wine Companion said... ' Slinky, savoury and textural on the palate... bright, minerally drive and plenty of velocity and verve here.' There's a 95 point Rizza from Kilikanoon and a fabulous Trophy winning Sauv from Grant Burge too. Learn More

We get it, not everyone wants to drink Sauv Blanc and even if you do, sometimes it’s nice to get into a pear-laden PG or a crisp and aromatic Rizza or perhaps something even more exotic! So here’s a pack with the Sauv Blancs banished! In their place, a stunning Riesling from Claymore leads the way, laden with citrus and mouthwatering acidity, plus apples and pears and a wonderfully creamy texture in the PG from Artis. Ted’s Place PG is dry and textural, with pear, ginger and apple aromas and flavours. Finally, the Dell’uva Albarino offers a palate packed with peach, lemons, green apples, spice and salinity. It is wonderful by itself and even better with seafood.

Yep, for the first time ever, we’ve managed to secure 8 trophy winners. The quality of each wine is utterly exceptional. Incredibly, 10 of the 12 wines in this dozen were not just gold medal winners, but Top Gold winners, pointed equal top of their class in the initial judging. These wines have done well elsewhere too. The Majella Cab is Winestate’s Cabernet of the year and has won 4 trophies to date. The Redbrook Shiraz has picked up 9 gold medals in other wine shows. We suspect this pack will sell fast.
