Clare Valley, SA Red Wine Packs

Previous editions of '13 Bottles for 13 Bucks Apiece' have performed brilliantly, selling heaps, with a really high percentage of repeat orders. Fair call too, as they contained genuinely excellent wines at quaffing prices. It's taken us a while, but we reckon we've upped the ante here, increasing the quality while retaining the original price point. This time you'll get three each of a delightful McLaren Cab blend, the magnificent $75-a-bottle Angas King Reserve Shiraz, Red Deer's 95-point old vine Shiraz, and a lovely organic Shiraz. The 13th bottle? Curtis' old vine, 96-point, $100-a-bottle Small Batch Shiraz. Phwoar! Learn More

There really isn't a weak link in this pack. From the Mike Farmilo (ex Penfolds Grange) made Temp and Sangio, to the Brothers at War gold winning and Halliday 95 pointed Grenache, which is as powerful as it is light on its feet. The Mazza Touriga is a ripper too, tiny production, epic aromatics and a softness which belies its complexity. To seal the deal, Kilikanoon's Prodigal Grenache, awarded best Grenache of Show at the incredibly competitive Royal Adelaide Wine Show, and the just released, and even more sharply limited Walton's Grenache, sourced from a tiny block planted in 1946.

Sometimes you just want the comfort of a perfectly cellared Shiraz. The tannins softening, the fruit pushing forward, oak and tannin less 'shield wall' and more 'sheet-yeah'. So here they are: Mitchell's legendary Peppertree, a 96-pointer from 2015 that we sourced direct from the winery; the marvelous 2017 Angas King, a 95-pointer which has become a bestseller here at WD; and Sieger's 'take no prisoners' black Barossan. On release, drinking the Sieger must have been a bit like whipping on a pair of pants about two sizes too small; doable, but not without pain! Now it is drinking beautifully, still massive and with huge flavours, but also an undeniable pleasure. A bonus? Sure: a bottle of Yaldara's $250-a-bottle Barossa Shiraz. It's from the exceptional '21 vintage, so it's drinkable now, but we'd recommend drinking the rest of the pack now and tucking this one away for a rainy day. Learn More

4 bottles each of Angas King’s magnificent, $75 a bottle, 2017 reserve Shiraz. We tried this twice on the tasting panel and loved it both times- it looked even better a day after opening and has a bright future ahead of it. Ken Gargett said, ‘still very young … powerful with a long and exciting future. Seamless, with bright acidity and silky tannins plus a very long finish which maintains the intensity. Drink now and for 10 to 20 years.’ You’ll also get 4 bottles of Martin’s 97 point $150 a bottle McLaren Vale Shiraz, and 4 of Karl Scepter’s 93-point, succulent and chocolatey Barossa Cab. Finally a $200 a bottle, 96 point Barossa Cab Shiraz from Yaldara! Learn More

Some pretty flash booze here. The Angas King is a 95 point and perfectly cellared, deeply fruited beauty from the Clare. The Curtis just keeps picking up awards (most recently, 2 gold medals) and is a $100 a bottle, old vine McLaren Vale belter. The Architect, from Dowie Doole, offers superb intensity of fruit and is decent value at $90 a bottle. There are 4 bottles of each of the aforementioned coming your way. To seal the deal, a bottle of Yaldara's Grand Cuvée Shiraz, from the unicorn '21 vintage, this is a $250 retail stunner - a cracking example of just how good Barossa Shiraz can be. Learn More

We love a cellared red here at WD. Take a massive red, give it a few years to marinate in its own juices, softening a little and losing the rough edges, and we're hearing 'hello, Saturday night'! Here's how it might unfold. It’s Saturday night and near-spent charcoal is shimmering wobbly blues and greys ‘neath the griddle, whilst a hint of wood smoke tantalizes your olfactories. The sounds of a salad being constructed threatens to accost your reverie. You deny this repugnant intrusion, note that two magnificent slices of aged steak have just reached room temp, and usher your mind towards their perfect bottled accompaniment. It will come from somewhere superb, perhaps the McLaren Vale, Barossa, or the Clare Valley. It might be a perfectly-cellared Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz, with its savoury sensibility and whisper-fine tannins, or perhaps a glorious Coonawarra Cabernet, all violets and blue fruit on a bed of cedar, or really any of the other beautiful wines in this dozen. You snap out of your reverie and snap open your chosen bottle. It’s time to pour a glass, place those steaks mindfully on the griddle and perhaps conjure up the tiniest salad plates imaginable. Today is not a salad day!

An assembly of our favourite Grenache and blends at the mo. Multiple trophy winning Kilikanoon Baudinet GSM, trophy winning Kilikanoon Prodigal, Curtis' 96 point old viner and Lone Palm's old vine 95 pointer all offer power to burn but with a brightness of fruit that is very much the modern way. The Lienert and Brother's at War are lighter Grenache, but not wishy washy. Both of these offer exceptional red fruits, excellent acidity and whisper fine tannins. We love all 6 of these wines.

This pack is our homage to the genius 2021 vintage, a 'unicorn' vintage, which gave good volume coupled with a really high proportion of A-grade fruit. There's a trophy-winning Clare Grenache from the legends at Kilikanoon; a 96-point and twin gold McLaren Shiraz; Curator Wine Co's achingly intense and pure Greenock Shiraz, laden with black fruits, cedar and graphite; Yaldara's $200-a-bottle behemoth and Dowie Doole's two exceptional flagship reds. These are magnificent, one and all. Learn More

At 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
