Limestone Coast, SA Wine Packs
What’s better than a bottle of wine?
Multiple bottles of wine, of course! winedirect.com.au started out with our founder, Mark, creating wine tasting packs for customers, and although we’ve evolved from a brick-and-mortar wine shop into an online wine retailer, we still pride ourselves on creating wine packs that not only showcase exceptional wines, but that we can offer you for jaw-dropping prices.
Our expert tasting panel has pulled together red wine packs, white wine packs and mixed packs by the half-dozen, dozen, and even some baker’s dozens with incredible bonus bottles for you to enjoy – there’s a wine pack for everyone!
If you’d rather choose your own wines, browse all our wines and pick’n’mix your own customized wine package. And remember, shipping’s on us when you order 12 or more bottles!

A neat mix of reds and whites all of which can be drunk now, though the Yaldara and Karl's Scepter Barossa will both benefit from being decanted.

Dell'uva's Albarino brings peach, lemons, green apples, spice and salinity.

We get it, not everyone wants to drink Sauv Blanc and even if you do, sometimes it’s nice to get into a pear-laden PG or a crisp and aromatic Rizza or perhaps something even more exotic!

In their place, a stunning Riesling from Claymore leads the way, laden with citrus and mouthwatering acidity, plus apples and pears and a wonderfully creamy texture in the PG from Artis. Ted’s Place PG is dry and textural, with pear, ginger and apple aromas and flavours. Finally, the Dell’uva Albarino offers a palate packed with peach, lemons, green apples, spice and salinity. It is wonderful by itself and even better with seafood.

- You Say Gris, I Say GrigioRegular Price $144.00 $130.00Gris VS Grigio Gris is French for Grey, Grigio is Italian for …. wait for it, grey! Pinot Gris or Grigio, if you prefer, hails from Burgundy in France, a region much better known for producing eye wateringly expensive Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. From Burgundy, it buggered off to all corners of the globe, and never really came home. There’s not much grown in Burgundy these days, but it might surprise you to know that, whilst uncommon, it is one of the 7 allowed grape varietals in Champagne production, and at least one producer has made a Champagne entirely from Pinot Gris. Its spiritual homes are arguably in Alsace, France, as ‘Pinot Gris’ and Northern Italy, where it goes by the name Pinot Grigio. You’ll find it in Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli Venezia, and some in the Veneto, a bit further south. Alsace makes the Gris style- which is ripe and textural and can have some residual sugar. The best of these are world class, textural wines offering nectarine. honey, richness, salinity and some kind of other worldly, umami style magic. They work brilliantly with foods high in umami… Northern Italy makes an altogether crisper style, with high acidity, green apple, minerality and crispness. These go well with sushi and sashimi, a pear, rocket and walnut salad, and fried gyoza… it works with more than that, but you get the idea. PG is beloved elsewhere too, as Grauburgunder in Germany, in NZ and Australia. Early on Aussie Pinot G naming conventions didn’t follow the logic set out by the styles of Alsace and Italy, so you could pour an Aussie grigio, only to find that it was weighty, pendulous and sense enveloping… alternately, an Aussie gris which was rather sharper and less overtly ripe. So… here a pack with 3 Aussie Gris, which are riper, more complex examples All 3 are terrific. Learn More
