Simply the Best; a Properly Bada$$ Baker's Dozen
Stocks are severely limited on a couple of these wines, particularly the Neldner Road, so we’ve had to make this one a subscriber-only offer. Leading the way is Kilikanoon’s $550-a-bottle Revelation Shiraz. We’re comfortable that this is better than the 2018 Grange.
You'll also get 2 x Yaldara's $250 a bottle Barossa Shiraz, packed with black and blue fruits of searing intensity. Next up, 2 x Neldner Road The Silesian Shiraz- a stone cold stunner made by Torbreck founder Dave Powell.
Also coming your way, 2 x Irvine's Grand Merlot - Australia's best Merlot, year in, year out, and with a $150 a bottle price tag to match. There's a couple of wines from Lone Palm Vineyards with 2 x Lone Palm Selection Shiraz, a wine which is compared to Grange in most vintages yet retails for 'just' $250 a bottle, and 2 x Lone Palm Hillside Shiraz with more high scores than can possibly be mentioned. And then there's a contender for our all time fav Shiraz, the Martins 2021, with vivid fruit and a smoothness which belies its fruit intensity, there's 2 of those in this behemoth of pack as well!

Made From: A-grade Barossa Shiraz and exceptional oak
Aromas and Flavours: Blue and black fruits, chocolate and tobacco leaf
Drink if you like: Saltram No 1
Have With: A rare to med rare scotch fillet, and duck fat rosemary spuds
Awards: TBA every previous vintage has scored 96 or above and we think this is the best release yet
Just the fourth release of Yaldara Grand, and arguably the best so far, with its incredible concentration of fruit and use of exceptional oak. A big wine and a complex expression of the Barossa. Milk and dark chocolate, aniseed, blue fruits, tobacco leaf, plus plenty of cedary oak and tannin. Incredible.
Made From: Old Vine Eden Valley Merlot
Aromas and Flavours: Rich and plush, plummy and oh so complex
Drink if you like: You want to discover just how profound Merlot can be
Drink With: Something meaty
Awards: 93 James Halliday, 93 Huon Hooke
Aussie Merlot doesn’t get more complex or highly awarded than Irvine’s Grand Merlot, twice recipient of the best Merlot in the world award. Recent releases are even better structured and livelier than the oldies, and we are confident the 2019 will improve for 10 years plus. There's plenty of rich plumminess, fig, herbs along with blueberry, dark chocolate and five spice. Excellent acidity and plenty of fine French oak here too. Decant for several hours before drinking.
The Inspiration
In 1842, 28 Silesian families arrived in the Barossa, bringing with them generations of viticultural wisdom. They settled in Bethany, purchased land from George Fife Angas, and laid the foundations of what would become one of the world’s great wine regions. Today, their descendants still tend the ancient vines of the Valley.
Dave Powell’s 2021 ‘The Silesian’ is a tribute to these pioneers—a wine steeped in history and crafted with reverence.
The Martins has maintained the exceptionally high standard it set with the 2018 vintage. Fruits are blacks and blues, with blueberries, blackberries, olive tapenade, dark chocolate, plentiful cedar and vanilla populating a powerful and long palate. The tannins are polished, waxy and plentiful. The best Martin's yet!
