Adelaide Hills, SA Red Wine Packs
- 13 Bottles for 13 Bucks Apiece v2.0Regular Price $611.00 $169.00You might think that for 13 bucks a bottle you’d be stocking up on quaffers for Friday night in front of Netflix, or for a mid-week dinner with leftovers. Nope! There is not a single quaffer in this pack. The Red Deer is a fruitful and spicy Shiraz, well-seasoned with oak sourced from 50-year-old vines. The Tomich offers great fruit and spice in a medium bodied setting and Montara’s Homeblock is also mid-weight with lovely soft tannins and fruit. BONUS - we’ve made this a baker’s dozen, topping it off with a bottle of the stunning Yaldara Grand Cab Shiraz, a mammoth 96pt red packed with high intensity Barossa goodness. Learn More
- A Ripping Selection of RedsRegular Price $610.00 $295.00A wonderful selection of red wines from the Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, Langhorne Creek, McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley. The Sieben Klon is a 95 pointer made by former St Henri growers, the Metala Legacy is as good a Cab as the Langhorne can make (which is mighty fine). Dowie Doole's Shiraz has black fruits, but also, and much rarer, blue fruits too. It is a belter. If all Shiraz had black and blue fruits, no one would buy anything else! Lone Palm's Old Vine Grenache will sell out in a few months and the Angas King Reserve is incredibly fresh for its age and has at least a decade ahead of it. We're predicting a lot of staff orders for this one. Learn More
- Martins & Manser Shiraz-OffRegular Price $1,290.00 $360.006 bottles apiece of 2 stellar 97 point Shiraz which you can enjoy side by side, over and over again. First up Martin’s 97 point super-premium McLaren Vale Shiraz which is packed with black and blue fruits and finished with rasps of cedar and powdery tannin. Three Scores in for this so far 1x97 ans 2x96! Last but not least, Manser’s Block 4 Shiraz, replete with two scores of 97 points and a gold medal; a powerhouse, black-fruited Shiraz packing cedar and vanilla which is finished with plentiful fine tannins.

- On Point ShirazRegular Price $504.00 $180.00At just $15 a bottle, this could be our best ever value Shiraz pack. The 'quaffer', aka Yarra Celebration Shiraz has scored an average of 4.4 stars out of 5 from customers who have bought it from us. We like it too... good fruit, mid weight, too good to be called a quaffer. The Angas King is a $75 a bottle stunner from the Clare. Richness, intensity and complexity in spades here in a wine which is only just entering its ideal drinking window and will drink well for at least another decade. Sidewood's Shiraz has harvested 12 gold medals and 96 points from Halliday. These are estate grown, hand tended vines- with the best fruit picked by a Pellenc select harvester. Lesser quality fruit does not find its way into this wine. Consider also, the use of 12 individual clones separately wild yeast fermented, given extended maceration on skins in barrel and then matured for 15 months in 100% French oak, 25% of which is new. Finally, only the best barrels make the cut for bottling. Learn More
- Perfectly Cellared RedsRegular Price $841.00 $295.00
Sometimes you just want a red with a bit of experience under its belt- still offering the vivacious fruit of youth but with the rough edges knocked off, the fruit if anything more vibrantly on show thanks to the more harmonious structure underpinning it. So here’s a collection of pearlers, counting amongst their number are wonderful wines from Dandelion, Heirloom, Mitchell, Jeanneret, Kilikanoon, Chateau Bernot from Bordeaux, and more. All lovely, we promise!

- The Class of 96: 96 Points & AboveRegular Price $608.00 $199.00
Half a dozen properly exceptional reds, all of which have picked up a 96pt score or better somewhere. More importantly, we’ve ‘researched’ these frequently and love ‘em. Stonehouse’s Barossa Shiraz, which has been compared to Penfolds Grange, Martins’ 97 pointer, Majella’s 4 x trophy winner which was named Winestate Magazine’s Cab of the year and more. All superb wines available at a very tidy price in this bundle.
Learn More - The Delicious Alternative Red DozenRegular Price $535.00 $265.00We 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 use to make Penfolds Grange. These are genuinely excellent too! Learn More
