Alternative Red Wine Packs
- Altred State of ConsumenessRegular Price $536.00 $250.00
A meditation on all things red that aren't Shiraz or Cab. We've got Touriga, Grenache, Tempranillo, Mataro, Montepulciano, Negroamaro and Aglianico happening here, and a smidge of Shiraz in the Kilikanoon GSM. All things alt red, all offering a very different pathway to pleasure than straight Shiraz and Cabernet. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
Learn More - Oh Pinot, My PinotRegular Price $268.00 $199.00When 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
- Ultimate Alt Red DozenRegular Price $698.00 $199.00
Shiraz might be King, but in a world where Charles/Chas/Chuckles of Windsor looks like an anemic alternative to his departed mum (bless ‘er cotton socks), we thought we’d offer you some alternative varietals actually capable of out-performing even the previous incumbent. Yes, Charles might be a watery Moscato to Her Maj’s compelling Barossa Shiraz, but we reckon we’ve conjured some alternatives which would see Charles abdicate and QE2, if she were still imbibing, pour a second glass.
All up $698 worth of alternatives for just $199.
