OK it's the bi-annual 30% off Wine Direct sale, and there's some good buying to be had. My pick for this one:
2015 Pertaringa Undercover Shiraz from Geoff Hardy wines - down to $12.60 if a dozen bottles of any wine (except French champagne) - mix and match as you please - are purchased. RRP $22 and Dans has it for $18.99 per bottle.
It's got 94 points from James Halliday, Tony Keys, and Wine Showcase. 93 from Sam Kim and a wine show gold medal. Halliday said: "Quite apart from semaphoring its region on the fragrant bouquet, its price is mouthwatering, as are the multi-flavours in the mouth. Cherry, plum and blackberry all have their say, but there's not much point in arguing the cause of one or the other, just relax and enjoy. Drink by 2025."
If you buy a dozen of these you're looking at $151.20 delivered. Minus $25 if you use a referral for first order (see below). But if you don't want 12 bottles of just this, here are two others to consider adding into the mix around the same price point:
2015 Zonte's Footstep Chocolate Factory Shiraz - $13.30 after discount. 94 Wine Showcase, 92 James Halliday
2012 Glenlofty Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon - $11.90 after discount. 93 James Halliday, 5 gold medals. Glenlofty was a Vinomofo favourite for many years
Plenty more options on the site if neither are your thing! More on the 30% off dozens sale: https://www.winedirect.com.au/30-off-dozens
