VIP Shiraz Baker's Dozen
We’ve pulled together seven top-tier Shiraz — including Trophies and plenty of 95-97 pointers, a museum release, and some seriously rare kit — and moulded a dozen in our image. Looks good huh!
You’ll find everything from Dave Powell’s black fruit drenched, $150-a-bottle, 97-point 'The Silesian' to Kilikanoon's $550-a-bottle, 97-point Revelation, a very limited release built to last decades. There’s Stonehouse's flagship Neldner Shiraz, Dowie Doole's flagship, single Vineyard Architect Shiraz and full-throttle Barossa Shiraz from Yaldara and Lone Palm. We’ve even snuck in Cape Jaffa’s biodynamic beauty, ‘La Lune’, for a splash of cool-climate elegance.
Whether you’re drinking now or cellaring for later, this pack is a statement in Australian Shiraz power, class and pedigree.

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.
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.
Cape Jaffa were an early adopter of biodynamic viticulture in Australia, having over 30 years experience of managing their vines this way. We reckon that Mount Benson, where they grow their Shiraz, is capable of making incredible, world class wines. It's a heady combo, and the La Lune is a superb wine. Here's what Campbell Mattinson said.
'It’s an enormously complex wine. It’s strewn with tobacco, tomato leaf, earth, smoked meats, autumn leaf and sweet spice notes, though the main run of it is all red and black cherry fruit flavours, with modest dips into deeper, darker plum characters. There’s a soy sauce character to the nose and a smoked cedar flavour to the palate, though at all times the wine feels svelte. It’s a complex wine but it’s also a polished one.'
Made From: 100% estate grown biodynamic Shiraz from Cape Jaffa's best block.
Aromas and Flavours: Black cherry, red fruits, minerals, tobacco, spice, plum, graphite, mulberry, gentle but plentiful tannins to finish.
Drink if you like: Côte Rôtie, Hermitage, any intensely fruited but classy and elegant Shiraz
Food: Think beef
