Stocks are severely limited on a couple of these wines, particularly the Eisenstone, 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 96 point, $250 a bottle Barossa Shiraz, packed with black and blue fruits of searing intensity. Next up, 2 x Eisenstone's Mattcheoss Vineyard Shiraz '21 - a $125 a bottle wine, one of a suite of tiny production Shiraz bottlings which have seen this winery rise from nowhere to being consistently in Huon Hooke's top 20 wineries in the country. A staggering achievement for a winery who typically releases less that 2,000 bottles of each of their wines each year.
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 2 x Lone Palm's Hillside Shiraz, a wine which is compared to Grange in most vintages yet retails for 'just' $120 a bottle, and 2 x Dowie Doole's Architect Shiraz - tiny production meets stunning quality - one of our very favourite McLaren Vale Shiraz this year. That said, it has an apt rival in the Martins 2020, a 97 pointer with vivid fruit and a smoothness which belies its fruit intensity, there's 2 of those in this behemoth of pack as well!
