Best Wines Under $20

The $13-a-bottle baker's dozens have been going mental of late, such that editions one through three have sold out. We think this one is even better than its predecessors - well worth a look! You'll be getting three bottles apiece of Sieger's black fruited, old vine Barossa Shiraz, worth $50 a bottle; Karl's Scepter's Coonawarra Cab; 95 point old vine Shiraz from Red Deer and a lovely Yarra Shiraz as well. PLUS a bottle of Curtis Small Batch old vine McLaren Vale Shiraz. This has accrued scores at 95, 96, and 96 points and a couple of gold medals, too. RRP $100 a bottle! Learn More

Previous editions of '13 Bottles for 13 Bucks Apiece' have performed brilliantly, selling heaps, with a really high percentage of repeat orders. Fair call too, as they contained genuinely excellent wines at quaffing prices. It's taken us a while, but we reckon we've upped the ante here, increasing the quality while retaining the original price point. This time you'll get three each of a delightful McLaren Cab blend, the magnificent $75-a-bottle Angas King Reserve Shiraz, Red Deer's 95-point old vine Shiraz, and a lovely organic Shiraz. The 13th bottle? Curtis' old vine, 96-point, $100-a-bottle Small Batch Shiraz. Phwoar! Learn More

20 bucks a bottle for a dozen superb Cabernets here. The Scepters, which are from the Coonawarra and Barossa respectively, are varietal and full-flavoured, showing a deft winemaking hand and concentrated fruit. Dowie Doole's flagship, the very limited Architect Cab, is a $90-a-bottle thriller from the stunning '21 vintage. Just settling into its bones, the quality and power of fruit is already in evidence. Decant or, better still, cellar for a bit - this is on the way to turning itself into something very special. The bonus? A bottle of Yaldara's $250-a-bottle Grand Cuvee Barossa Shiraz. It's big - as you'd expect - but the oak, while evident, is on a tight leash, allowing the glorious fruit to really shine. Definitely decant or pop it in the dungeon for five or 10 years. Learn More

It's been a mighty long time since we've offered an alternative whites doz. No excuses; the last one sold really well, and this is overdue. This is a cracking alternative white pack, featuring two Vermentinos, one of which scored 97 points from Halliday, a Fiano and a Chenin, which Kim Brebach described as the best Aussie Chenin he's ever had. There's an awesome bonus too, in the form of First Creek's 96 point Murphy Sem. Two of these wines - the Halliday 96 and 97 pointers - were made by Liz Silkman, just crowned by James Halliday as his Winemaker of the Year! Learn More
