Why do we love this case?
Here, we bring you the best of the best. These are the wines that our producers have loved so dearly that they've kept a few behind at the cellar for their future selves (and, some lucky customers who might get the winemakers on a good day). We've had to do some really sweet talking, a little bit of begging, and a lot of string-pulling to curate this case. Presenting: the inaugural Aged. Reds. Selection. It feels good to say it, and even better to drink it.
Included in this case:
1x School House Cellar Release Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Red — Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra — Australia
We all know that fine Coonawarra cabernet ages extremely well. Like George Clooney or Brad Pitt well. We’ve had the 2010 from this producer, and now they’ve offered us the 2013 we did not hesitate to take the opportunity. This is one of our go-to Coonawarra producers, so getting the wine should really be a no-brainer. It’s still plenty powerful, but age has softened the edges a touch to give it a bit more gravitas. Blackberry and mulberry, roasted nuts and black olive, all in perfect harmony. This is great stuff that will prove to be worthy of the A-list for years to come.
You’d pay $85 full price.

1x Reschke Bos Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Red — Cabernet Sauvignon
Coonawarra — Australia
This is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The needle in the haystack. This is why we show up to work every day and search the globe for the best wines. This right here, is the epitome of aged Coonawarra cabernet. Reschke are Coonawarra legends, and they don't hold back on the time and care that goes into their wines. Halliday would certainly agree, awarding the 2015 'Bos' 95pts in a recent tasting. Vibrant blackcurrant and oak have come together, tannins mellowed and earthy, secondary elements emerged. Enjoy drinking from the top shelf, you deserve it.
You’d pay $60 full price.

1x Schild Estate 'Edel' Shiraz 2018
Red — Shiraz
Barossa Valley — Australia
A wax dipped, deeply layered beauty out of the hands of Schild Estate, on of Barossa's most adored producers. Macerated plums, fresh vanilla pods, cracked pepper and roasted coffee beans are just some of the layers that you can expect here. Did we mention a robust, silky palate? That's right, this is a wine of very high calibre. Given Schild Estate is all about their heritage estate vineyards, I guess we should never have been surprised at how good this could get.
You’d pay $130 full price.

1x Devitt & Moore Captain D. Bruce Shiraz 2017
Red — Shiraz
Barossa — Australia
Deep, dark ripe fruit dazzles to begin, but then the nuance of age makes itself known, adding another element to this fantastic wine. A swarm of brambly, developed fruit is framed by punchy tannin and well integrated acidity. Seven years cellar time has allowed some fruit leather and umami to enter the flavour profile, but they're only there as a suggestion of what this wine might do over the next decade - right now its all about the fruit - luscious and complex and packing a genuine, no-holds-barred bit of punch. Chocolate, tobacco, pepper, spice – everything nice. Personally I'm torn: I would love to see what this wine looks like in the back half of the 2030s, but I know I'll drink my modest allocation by the end of the month.
You’d pay $150 full price.

1x First Drop Fat of the Land Seppeltsfield Shiraz 2018
Red — Shiraz
Barossa Valley — Australia
John Retsas does wonders when it comes to single vineyard expressions of shiraz. Each wine handled with respect for the vineyard from which it came, this beauty is on the broodier, savoury style spectrum. Awash with chocolate, morello cherries, leather and christmas spices. Our buyer Tully has put this Seppeltsfield shiraz amongst the top wines she tried this year. So yeah, you could say it’s a pretty bloody good drop.
You’d pay $130 full price.

1x Lou Miranda Estate Single Vineyard Shiraz 2017
Red — Shiraz
Barossa Valley — Australia
The Barossa shiraz we’ve all been waiting for - the newest vintage of Lou Miranda’s single vineyard shiraz is back and isn’t here to mess around! Handcrafted from vines planted on stoney, clay & premium soil, this Barossa Valley dreamboat is laid out with the soil restricting the growth, channeling the grapes to be highly concentrated as they ripen. An old school shiraz, this wine has been matured in American oak barrels for FOUR YEARS, allowing for those juicy juicy tannins to fully develop and soften. Intense, bold and not afraid to stand out, this mofo fave has massive fruit mixed with massive oak. With flavours of deep plum, dark fruits and a creamy vanilla kick on top, you don’t need to hold back on the food flavours to pair. Go big, go rich, go hearty and have yourself a lavish time.
You’d pay $120 full price.
