…and many more
Leo Buring Clare Riesling 2013 – Superb Riesling for a pittance ($15). Classic ripe limes and a touch of bathpowder, long and fine and beautiful.
Stella Bella Margaret River Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2013 – a Margaret River winery with a big reputation that makes stylish wines. This one has more complexity than your average SSB from fermentation on lees, some batonage (lees stirring) and some oak maturation. Just $17.
Cape Mentelle Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2014 – This Sauvignon Semillon benchmark is back on top form after a so-so period. Good to see, and we routinely find it for $18.

St Hallett Gamekeepers Shiraz Grenache Touriga 2013 was a Jimmy Watson Trophy runner-up late last year, and it’s easy to see why. It’s oft and seductive, with sweet fruit and instant appeal, and it’s ready to drink. We’ve found it for as little as $10.
Jacob’s Creek Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 – another wine that punches way above its modest label , and has more to it than many more fancied Coonawarra reds. More aging potential too. We’ve found this for as little as $10.
Wirra Wirra Church Block Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Merlot 2012 – A perennial favourite with a big heart. A bear hug of a wine really, full of sunshine, ripe fruit and touch of oak. We’ve found it for $15.
Kilikanoon Killermans Run Cabernet Sauvignon 2012 – Clare Valley Cabernet from a top winery and a great vintage for just $16. Better and more elegant than their Shiraz reds, absolute steal.
