Adelaide Hills, SA Red Wine Packs

An amazing cobbling together here of good things, 13 of them, all from the exceptional '21 vintage, valued at $565, which will set you back just $169. Yep $13 a bottle.

There's Turkey Flat's achingly beautiful mid-weight Barossa GSM, Fox in the Henhouse Barossa Shiraz and Leasingham's Bin 61 Shiraz, a delicious wine which has been in production for over 50 years and Griffin's delightfully spiced and black fruited Adelaide Hills Shiraz.

3 each of the wines above, plus a bottle of Yaldara's magical, 96 point super premium Grand Cuvée Shiraz!

At an average north of $90 retail per bottle, these might not scream 'Friday night Pizza' but at a tick under $30 a bottle in this bundle, maybe we can make a case for it... and at a bottle a week, we've got the next 13 weeks of Friyay evenings gourmet exhalations elevated to someplace very fine indeed.

So, what will you have next Friday?

Pasha's 97 point McLaren Shiraz which had Kim Brebach in raptures, saying 'The integration of fruit and oak is as seamless as I’ve seen in an Aussie red'? Dandelion's Firehawk Shiraz- off their best McLaren Vale vineyard? Sidewood's savoury Adelaide Shiraz which iced a lazy dozen gold medals with 96 points from Halliday? Showblock's incredible Reserve Shiraz? Kilikanoon's Flagship Cabernet? Perhaps, Longview's Trophy winning Cab ... decant this one!

OR, maybe you just want to start with the Lone Palm, the big gun. Imagine Marvin Gaye reinterpreting death metal (when he was alive, obvs), or Chuck Norris taking up Tai Chi. Molten lava given the Gaviscon treatment, Chewbacca reciting 'Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day', you get the idea. It's one of those 'Iron fist in a velvet glove' jobbies - incredibly powerful and densely fruited yet so perfectly put together that it is a joy to drink already.

Just need to choose that pizza now.

A premium alternatives pack which we think is a bit of a no-brainer. We kick off with the following four Aussie alternatives. After Five's 5 trophy winning Barossa Montepulciano, which is as good a Monte we have ever seen. From Kilikanoon, their stunning, $96, 96 point, flagship Grenache. Artis brings us a magnificently perfumed Nero and Songlines, an old vine, 100% whole bunch Barossa Grenache. Then we have a Riserva Chianti from the low yielding and fabulous 2020 vintage, and a densely powerful Rioja, made by one of just 2 producers who are more than a century old. These are all excellent and we've no doubt you'll have as much fun with them as we do..

6 bottles apiece of 2 stellar Shiraz which you can enjoy side by side, over and over again. First up, Martin’s exceptional super-premium McLaren Vale Shiraz which is packed with black and blue fruits and finished with rasps of cedar and powdery tannin. Secondly, the just released Manser Block 4 Shiraz, with a deserved score of 96 points from Sam Kim. This is a powerhouse, black-fruited Shiraz packing cedar and vanilla which is finished with plentiful fine tannins.

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

Delicious pinot here.

Leading the way, the Picardy, an 11 clone masterpiece with most of the clones sourced direct from Grand Cru growers in Burgundy and most of those retained by the Pannell's for use in Picardy Pinot only. Little wonder this is one of the most fancied Pinot in the country at the moment. Next up Heirloom's Velvet Fog, a powerful, almost muscular wine which is elevated by its nuanced red fruit perfume. Riposte's Dagger is light to medium bodied with delicate aromatics and the Solaris is another Adelaide Hills Pinot with plenty of flavour and an excellent texture.

Finally, 3 bottles of the Manser Block 4, one of the best Shiraz to come out of the Adelaide Hills, year in, year out.

All up $1,500 worth of magnificent Shiraz for just $360 and because it is a dozen, there is no freight charge.

Looking for the perfect wine gift for a rusted on red lover? You know, the kind who always turns up with the good stuff and doesn't mind cellaring a wine until it is cherry ripe? Might even turn up to a barbie with a decanter? Well here's a gift for them. The wines are drinkable now (especially if the decanter is handy) but will also both cellar for up to 10 year plus. This twin pack contains the Yaldara Grand Cuvée Shiraz 2021 - a 96 point, $250 a bottle stunner packed with black fruited finery, and cedar with lovely blue fruit aromatics too, along with the Manser Block 4 Shiraz 2022 - a storied Adelaide Hills vineyard that regularly produces concentrated wines laden with spice and oozing complexity. These will all come presented in one of our luxe premium twin gift boxes and the asking price of $120 includes freight! Learn More

The Noble Grape is a bit on the nose at the moment.

Perceived by some as being bony, hard of tannins and shy of revealing fruit, Cabernets are long way from their heyday of 20 years ago, when they outsold Shiraz. These days, the willingness to cellar, always Cabernet friend isn't really there, and 'good to go right now' wines are in ascendancy.

BUUUUUT ... we love it dearly and know that with the right fruit and the right gifted winemaker, assertively angular tannins and bony acidity make way for ethereal perfumes, generously jubey fruit and a massive smile on the head of whoever is drinking them. So here's a 'no bones' and 100% beautiful baker's doz of Cabernet for your consideration.

2 stunners from Kilikanoon lead the way and Briar Ridge's complex, Halliday 95 pointer slides in effortlessly behind. Ditto, Dandelion's 96 point Coonawarra beauty, Longview's Trophy winning stunner and Dowie Doole's tiny production, 96 point work of genius. These really are all magical- just double decant an hour or so before drinking!

Oh, the 13th bottle!?

Cab is well known for ageing beautifully, so we've scrounged around and found a small quantity of Zonte's Blackberry Patch Cab from 2017. It's drinking beautifully and we doff our Cab to it!
