Wild Card Wine #1 - 1 in 25 chance
First Drop Dragons Blood Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
McLaren Vale, SA
Single Vineyard | Cult Producer
Seven years old but right on time (and bloody good at that). This is the flagship dreams are made of. Intensely rich and structured, this wine from First Drop would have been too tightly wound a few years ago. Now it’s sitting pretty and opening up, begging for you to have a taste. The nose is of cassis and plum standing on the shoulders of potpourri and tobacco leaf. The immensely viscous palate yields dark berry flavours, cedar notes from 24 months in new French oak and a lingering finish that brings the whole experience home. A fully enveloping wine for those that want to be immersed.
YOU’D PAY $250 full price.
Wild Card Wine #2 - 1 in 10 chance
Schubert Estate Lone Goose Shiraz 2016
Barossa Valley, SA
96pts James Halliday| 96pts Sam Kim | 96pts Wine Pilot | 5 Stars Sam Kim
Schubert Estate has a winner here in a single block high-end Barossa shiraz with the brightness dialed up a notch thanks to a touch of viognier. It’s the northern Rhône recipe for greatness, realised much closer to home in Australia’s top shiraz region. Every aspect of the crafting is hands-on, from the harvest to the wild yeast fermentation, on through the basket pressing. Only then can this delicious drop get a rest, seeing 20 months in older French oak. The nose is a touch floral (thanks to the viognier), but that deep shiraz fruit powers through, accompanied by herbal and leather notes, along with chocolate and licorice. What happens when the darkness of Barossa shiraz sees the light? You’ll have to pull the cork to find out.
YOU’D PAY $100 full price.
Wild Card Wine #3 - 1 in 5 chance
Ulithorne Paternus Cabernet Shiraz 2019
South Australia
96pts Sam Kim | 5 Stars Sam Kim | 5 Red Star Halliday Rated Producer
Australians have perfected the cab shiraz blend. We’ve also perfected innovation and a can-do spirit. So it’s all fitting that Ulithorne has grabbed the best cabernet fruit from the best SA cabernet region (Coonawarra) to blend with the best old vine shiraz from their estate vineyard in McLaren Vale. The resulting wine is ripe, dark and peppery. Layered on top of beautifully integrated oak (16 months in a mix of French and American), you’ll find blackcurrant, raspberry, plum, pepper and cinnamon. The tannins are silky and the finish lengthy, making for a spectacular example of the original Aussie red blend.
YOU’D PAY $85 full price.
Wild Card Wine #4 - all the rest
Kilikanoon Golden Hillside Shiraz 2019
Clare Valley, SA
Australian Winery of the Year, Mundus Vini | 5 Red Star Halliday Rated Winery
Kickass Kili have done it again. Their inimitable Golden Hillside shiraz is a firm ‘fo fave, and consistently one of the fastest selling wines we bring in. Not surprising, really. Rambunctious cherries and burstingly-juicy berries are just contained by a toasty coating of fabulous French oak. No rush to drink this beauty, it’ll keep the rest of your cellar very good company for a decade, easy.

The Other Wines
These are the wines that are guaranteed in the case...
Gapsted Limited Release Pinot Noir 2020
King Valley, VIC
Gapsted are nestled up in Victoria’s High Country (in Gapsted, of all places), and have to be one of Australia’s leading wineries for value. Pinot is a tricky grape to grow at the best of times, and it’s all the harder when you’re working to a budget. But these guys know what they’re doing. Ripe, red berries and cherries, sizzling spice, crunchy herbs and a dash of that something magic that makes pinot the captivating mystery it is. A light lick of French oak gives it the springboard it needs to jump to life on the palate. Cracking stuff!
YOU’D PAY $31 full price.
Finca Monica Red Blend 2019
Rioja, Spain
This snappy little Rioja is made from 100% tempranillo and shows off the best of the grape. It has a medium body with ripe red fruit and elegant oak character. Three months in American oak have added a touch of grip and vanilla to the abundant plums, cranberries and licorice spice. If you are not familiar with the Rioja region or tempranillo variety - Finca Mónica is a great introduction that is equally delicious with or without food.
YOU’D PAY $28 full price.
Glendale Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Wrattonbully, SA
Gold China Wine & Spirit Awards 2021
This is no-nonsense South Australian cab sav from Glendale for people in need of a workhorse wine. It’s full of flavour and will scratch that itch for a hearty red with dinner, time after time. Vibrant red in colour, it shows intense blackberries and blackcurrants. Then comes the classic chocolate, cassis and mint notes that put you firmly in solid varietal territory. The tannins are there, but quite elegant. They add a bit of guts, without demanding too much of you. It’s a great companion to any weeknight, whether it’s beans on toast or steak.
YOU’D PAY $25 full price.
Reschke Reserve Pinot Gris 2021
The Limestone coast region is famous for reds, but if this pinot gris from Reschke is any indication, it’s also a ripper region for aromatic whites. is This is beautifully perfumed, gorgeously lifted and wonderfully fruity. A cool, elegant acidity drives the experience with poise and grace. The finish is long and lingering. It’s miraculous wine for your money, and we think you’ll agree.
YOU’D PAY $25 full price.
Howard Park Wines Cabernet Merlot 2018
Margaret River, WA
5 Red Star Halliday Rated Winery | First Families of Wine | Women In Wine
Margaret River icon Howard Park is a master of cabernet and all its blends, so our joy was quite warranted when we landed this wine. There’s a fair bit going on here, with notes of blackberry, raspberry, mocha, mint, rosemary. And while that description was a bit of a mouthful, this wine isn’t too much of one, sitting on the brighter side of rich rather than the heavier one.
YOU’D PAY $25 full price.
Olivares Rosado 2020
Jumilla, Spain
Hand Picked
This is a great example of how grenache sings in rosé, on the table with food or simply in the glass. Beautifully crisp and refreshing, it’s like a dive into a cool pool on a hot day. Only, instead of pool toys, you have strawberries, raspberries and a zesty hint of orange peel to keep things fun and fruity. Keep it chilled and ready to go at a moment’s notice.
YOU’D PAY $22 full price.
Domaine Gayda Flying Solo Grenache Shiraz 2020
Minervois, France
Vegan Friendly
This Flying Solo wine is a 60/40 blend of grenache and syrah from Minervois, one of the top areas in the region. It’s medium-bodied with soft tannins, a smooth palate and an energetic burst of bright red fruits. Simply enjoyable, gluggable and relax-on-the-deck-able wine.
YOU’D PAY $22 full price.
Le Bon Chardonnay 2018
Yarra Valley, VIC
It’s no secret that winemakers love to see their creations on restaurant lists. Some make wines specifically for it, as is the case here with this Le Bon chardy. Unfortunately there are’t a lot of open restaurants in our current climate, so the wines need a home. How about yours, mofo? This is Yarra Valley chardy made by Mandala that was originally destined for dining out. It’s crisp, fruit-driven (peaches, nectarines, lemons), and has a nice touch of honey on the palate. So order in from your favourite takeaway joint and crack a bottle of this. It’s the next best thing to sitting in a booth at your local.
YOU’D PAY $22 full price.
Claymore Joshua Tree Riesling 2021
Clare Valley, SA
Highly-acclaimed Clare Valley producer Claymore pride themselves on producing premium wines combined with a spirit of never taking themselves too seriously. The sub-region of Watervale is premium and know for very good quality riesling, this wine shows exactly what the vineyard and terroir offers, delicious fruit complexity, perfumed with orange blossom, jasmine and the citrusy, zesty finish that is so classic of rizza from the region.
YOU’D PAY $22 full price.
Hollick The Bard Shiraz 2017
Limestone Coast, SA
Double Gold CWSC 2020
This wine from Hollick reminds me of those once-a-year, deliciously expensive artisan chocolates: a dark raspberry ganache lures you in, with a crisp-cracking exterior and a velvet-smooth core. Add in some earthiness and black fruits, plus a few seeds of vanilla bean and we’re getting pretty close. It’s a medium-bodied wine, so won’t weigh you down, effortlessly matching savoury to silky.
YOU’D PAY $20 full price.
Nga Waka Three Paddles Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Martinborough, NZ
90pts Bob Campbell
Nga Waka leaves us little choice but to dive into this excellent example of Martinborough sauvignon blanc. There’s more than meets the eye here with subtlety and complexity on show due to an array of nuanced tropical aromas balanced nicely with vibrant citrus acidity. Grassy herbs and stony minerality leave the palate fresh and clean and yearning for another sip. Nothing is over the top or out of whack and the more you sip this stunning Kiwi, the more you’ll find there is to explore.
YOU’D PAY $20 full price.
