- The Heavy-Hitting $199 Shiraz DozenRegular Price $624.00 $199.00Coming your way, three bottles of the Red Deer '22 Langhorne Creek Old Vine Shiraz. This is a wine that we can squeeze into the $199 doz comfortably. It is $35 retail and just picked up 95 points from Kim Brebach with the following words: ‘…took me right back to the early reds of Wolf Blass (also using Langhorne Creek fruit). The vibrant, slippery fruit is supercharged, bursting with bright flavour yet the wine is not overripe or high in alcohol. It’s medium-bodied, almost elegant – it’s truly rare to find such intensity of flavour in a gentle red. So far so good; we’re on track for a good $199 doz. Then it starts to get silly, because we’ve also shoehorned in three bottles of the 2015 Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz: a 96-point stunner, mid weight and drinking beautifully. No rush though, you can drink this any time over the next 10 years. Next up, three of Greenock Estate’s Sieger 777 Old Vine Barossa Shiraz. This wine pulls no punches: a $50-a-bottle, full-throttle Barossa Shiraz that leaves no stone unturned in its mission to stone your palate to death. Drink it carefully; it's big! To complete the heavy-hitting, we have three $75-a-bottle Angas King Reserve Clare Shiraz. We’ve already sold a bucketload of this wine and had a heap of repeat orders for it. It's decent value at $75, exceptional when you can pick it up in this doz with an average bottle price of just $16.58! Learn More
- The Incredible $199 Old Vine Shiraz DozenRegular Price $780.00 $199.00
Fair chance this is the best $199 Shiraz doz we’ve ever cobbled together. Each of these is exceptional and all of these are old vine wines too, with the average vine age across the three sitting at 60!
The Curtis Small Batch might just be the best wine they have ever made – with fabulous black fruit intensity with judicious acidity and plenty of tannins driving through to an epic conclusion.
The Lone Palm, off 60-year-old Barossa Vines is packed with deep black and blue fruits, graphite, gun smoke and cedar. This is handpicked, hand plunged and basket pressed belligerence!
The Red Deer is exceptionally brightly and intensely fruited, with long black and red fruits finished with spindles of oak and fine tannins.
Learn More - The Most Excellent Grenache Dominant Baker's DozenRegular Price $710.00 $250.00A magical assortment of Grenache and Grenache dominant blends from our fave producers. 3 bottles of the Lienert multi-clonal, fragrant and compelling beauty, 3 of Curtis' mid-weight, fragrant and generous Heritage, plus 3 of their stunning 96 point Small Batch Grenache. 3 of the Purple Hands GSM, which we reckon is the best wine featuring Grenache they have ever released. Finally, a single bottle of the $80 RRP Heirloom Anevo Fortress, a super fragrant, dark and deep blend of Grenache off their finest vineyard with a little each of achingly pure Tempranillo and Touriga.

- The Official 2024 Royal Adelaide Wine Show Mixed DozenRegular Price $403.00 $285.00
Tough judging this year, with only around 5% of wines picking up a gold, and we can confirm that the quality of this year’s dozen is absolute fire across the board.
Every wine in the pack this year is a gold winner. There are also a couple of trophy winners: the After Five Monte, and Forester’s Shiraz. The latter is 86% Shiraz and 14% Fer… yep, an ancient varietal of Basque origin, which these days is also planted in some southern French wine regions. There is also a bit of it planted over in WA. The variety offers cassis, red fruits, black fruits, superb intensity and a degree of smokiness. This might be the first time a trophy winner at the Adelaide Wine Show has contained Fer, which offers a nice opportunity for nerdy contemplation. More importantly, the wine is beautiful. Looking beyond the accolades garnered at the Adelaide Show, these wines have also accrued an additional 10 gold medals, a trophy, a runner up in Halliday’s annual Cabernet competition and more. These wines are uniformly exceptional.

Learn More - The Perfectly-Cellared Bundle Plus Some Very Expensive HomeworkRegular Price $1,166.00 $295.00
We had a bit of a think about which wines are floating our boat the most at the moment from a cellared perspective. You know, where the tannins have softened a bit and some complexity is emerging but there is still a solid accent on fresh, primary fruit. We settled on five wines: a 96-pointer from Mitchell (The Peppertree), a 95-pointer from Angas King, Kilikanoon's trophy-winning Grenache, JJ Hahn's 96-pointer from a vineyard planted in the 1890s and a 96-pointer from McLaren Vale. These are bulletproof and will work when you crack 'em at home, as a gift, or for when you head around to friends for a catch up. That all seemed like we were making things a bit too easy, so we've given you some homework in the form of two bottles of Yaldara's 96 point, $250-a-bottle Grand Cuvee Shiraz. You could study these now, but you'll want to bust out the cheat notes (decanter) so you can get a good sense of what's going on here. Do that, and you'll find these very engaging and informative already. Failing that, stick 'em away for a decade or so!
