A wonderful mix ready to drink any time over the next year or two. We lead off with Curtis’ 93 point Riesling which is textural and packed with fruit. Colab’s Pg is easy drinking, with great texture and plenty of pear flavour and the Curtis Heritage Chard is crisp and linear with citrus, peach and honeydew melon. The Yarra Shiraz is mid weight, spicy and offering lovely fruit definition, the Scepter Shiraz offers strident black fruits and fine tannins and the Watkins Chilled Light Red is a fruit driven beauty with plenty of red fruits and a decent lick of acidity.

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 Clare Riesling from Kilikanoon. On the red front, the concentrated, 95pt Kilikanoon Shiraz, a stunning McLaren SGM, 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 Kim to score it 98pts with the observation that the wine is, ‘…deeply flavoured and totally delicious, showing dark and purple fruit richness, cedary oak, charcuterie and mixed spice aromas with a dark chocolate undertone. The powerful full-bodied palate is wonderfully layered with plush texture and fine-grained tannins, making it sturdy and structured, yet velvety and luscious. 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 has been in the running to be named Winestate magazine’s wine of the year. Learn More
