Some pretty flash booze here. The Angas King is a 95 point and perfectly cellared, deeply fruited beauty from the Clare. The Curtis just keeps picking up awards (most recently, 2 gold medals) and is a $100 a bottle, old vine McLaren Vale belter. The Architect, from Dowie Doole, offers superb intensity of fruit and is decent value at $90 a bottle. There are 4 bottles of each of the aforementioned coming your way. To seal the deal, a bottle of Yaldara's Grand Cuvée Shiraz, from the unicorn '21 vintage, this is a $250 retail stunner - a cracking example of just how good Barossa Shiraz can be. Learn More

We love a cellared red here at WD. Take a massive red, give it a few years to marinate in its own juices, softening a little and losing the rough edges, and we're hearing 'hello, Saturday night'! Here's how it might unfold. It’s Saturday night and near-spent charcoal is shimmering wobbly blues and greys ‘neath the griddle, whilst a hint of wood smoke tantalizes your olfactories. The sounds of a salad being constructed threatens to accost your reverie. You deny this repugnant intrusion, note that two magnificent slices of aged steak have just reached room temp, and usher your mind towards their perfect bottled accompaniment. It will come from somewhere superb, perhaps the McLaren Vale, Barossa, or the Clare Valley. It might be a perfectly-cellared Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz, with its savoury sensibility and whisper-fine tannins, or perhaps a glorious Coonawarra Cabernet, all violets and blue fruit on a bed of cedar, or really any of the other beautiful wines in this dozen. You snap out of your reverie and snap open your chosen bottle. It’s time to pour a glass, place those steaks mindfully on the griddle and perhaps conjure up the tiniest salad plates imaginable. Today is not a salad day!

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

We like to think of this as a South Australian Riesling sampler pack... once you find your favourites, hit us up for mates rates. Included is the 95 point pristine old vine Dandelion Riesling from the Eden Valley; a 95 point Riesling from Riesling masters Kilikanoon; Lone Palm's 95 pointer, Gomersal's Gold winner, Miss Zilm's magical 95-pointer and more. These are all terrific! Learn More

Sometimes you just want the comfort of a perfectly cellared Shiraz. The tannins softening, the fruit pushing forward, oak and tannin less 'shield wall' and more 'sheet-yeah'. So here they are: Mitchell's legendary Peppertree, a 96-pointer from 2015 that we sourced direct from the winery; the marvelous 2017 Angas King, a 95-pointer which has become a bestseller here at WD; and Sieger's 'take no prisoners' black Barossan. On release, drinking the Sieger must have been a bit like whipping on a pair of pants about two sizes too small; doable, but not without pain! Now it is drinking beautifully, still massive and with huge flavours, but also an undeniable pleasure. A bonus? Sure: a bottle of Yaldara's $250-a-bottle Barossa Shiraz. It's from the exceptional '21 vintage, so it's drinkable now, but we'd recommend drinking the rest of the pack now and tucking this one away for a rainy day. Learn More

Coming your way, three bottles of the Red Deer '22 Langhorne Creek Old Vine Shiraz. This is a wine that we can squeeze into the $199 doz comfortably. It is $35 retail and just picked up 95 points from Kim Brebach with the following words: ‘…took me right back to the early reds of Wolf Blass (also using Langhorne Creek fruit). The vibrant, slippery fruit is supercharged, bursting with bright flavour yet the wine is not overripe or high in alcohol. It’s medium-bodied, almost elegant – it’s truly rare to find such intensity of flavour in a gentle red. So far so good; we’re on track for a good $199 doz. Then it starts to get silly, because we’ve also shoehorned in three bottles of the 2015 Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz: a 96-point stunner, mid weight and drinking beautifully. No rush though, you can drink this any time over the next 10 years. Next up, three of Greenock Estate’s Sieger 777 Old Vine Barossa Shiraz. This wine pulls no punches: a $50-a-bottle, full-throttle Barossa Shiraz that leaves no stone unturned in its mission to stone your palate to death. Drink it carefully; it's big! To complete the heavy-hitting, we have three $75-a-bottle Angas King Reserve Clare Shiraz. We’ve already sold a bucketload of this wine and had a heap of repeat orders for it. It's decent value at $75, exceptional when you can pick it up in this doz with an average bottle price of just $16.58! 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

It's not every day we can put a pack together that saves you close to $1,000. Here's one such pack: $1,239 worth of the good stuff, with 95 point, old vine Langhorne Shiraz, a lovely Barossa Shiraz from a former maker of Penfolds Grange, Dowie Doole's barrel select, $90-a-bottle flagship and Yaldara's $250 a bottle behemoth. Your wallet might feel like it's had a close shave, but really, it's just saved plenty. Learn More

This pack is our homage to the genius 2021 vintage, a 'unicorn' vintage, which gave good volume coupled with a really high proportion of A-grade fruit. There's a trophy-winning Clare Grenache from the legends at Kilikanoon; a 96-point and twin gold McLaren Shiraz; Curator Wine Co's achingly intense and pure Greenock Shiraz, laden with black fruits, cedar and graphite; Yaldara's $200-a-bottle behemoth and Dowie Doole's two exceptional flagship reds. These are magnificent, one and all. Learn More

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

It's Chianti Day! That's right; a celebration of all things Sangiovese and Sang-dominant coming out of the Tuscan region of Chianti. To celebrate, we've built an alternatives pack around the delightful Alberto Bartali Chianti, which we import direct. There's also an excellent Sang from Colab, a magical air-dried red from Ca Botta, a multi-clone Grenache from Sieben Klon, ethereal Touriga from Mazza and a magic, highly-awarded grenache from Curtis. 58% off, too!

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
