Pete's Picks on site right now

We get it - with so much good wine on site, it can be difficult to know where to start, especially with deals as good as they were on Black Friday. Here's the wines our buyer Pete is loving right now - the ones he was especially excited to see pop up last.

"I get it - it’s busy, chaotic, exciting, and at times a little (or a lot) frenzied. But now the dust has settled on Black Friday & Cyber Monday, I’ve taken a moment to pick through what I loved, what I’m excited about, and, importantly, what I actually bought."

Shiraz 2007 - Black Friday Deal #54874

"It’s hard to go past these wines whenever I see them. I feel a little bad putting this here as we’ve only got a few cases left. This is one of Australia's greatest wineries (as recognised by the Halliday Wine Companion Top 100 this year) - they produce stunning, long lived, compelling wines that I can’t help but keep coming back to.

Golden Amrita Shiraz 2018 – Black Friday Deal

"The Golden Amrita is among my most exciting wines of 2024 for it’s sheer enjoyability. Rarely do you come across a wine that is so enjoyable, so broadly appealing, and so utterly satisfying to drink. Big and bold. Broad and imposing. It ticks every box and then some."

Chardonnay 2016 - Black Friday Deal #54723

"This is a small scale operation in the south of Margaret River - the wines are focused and complex, with unending nuance. Powerful, deep, rich chardonnay that maintains bright acidity and drive. This is Chardonnay that takes a lot of drinking - you need to take time to unpack it and let it unfurl in the glass. If you’re a serious chardonnay drinking, then this is my pick for ‘must haves.’"

Chardonnay 2023 – Black Friday Deal #52421

"Full disclosure, I actually already have a lot of this in my cellar, but I couldn’t help but stock up. An elite Tasmanian producer with some elite fruit at their disposal. Pure, fresh, focused chardonnay that doesn’t skimp on oomph and power. "

Pinot Noir 2023 - Black Friday Deal #52987

This is a new-to-us producer that has come off the top ropes and blown us all away. They’re ell established - Yarra Valley stalwarts, even. These are their top-tier wines, and don’t they show it. Ethereal, deeply intricate, and uber stylish. If you’re eyeing off something special for Christmas lunch this year, then let it be this show stopping pinot.

House of Noir Black de Black Vintage Sparkling Shiraz 2021 – Black Friday Deal

"There’s genuinely no other matter on which we’re more unified as a nation than in our devotion to fizzy, powerful reds. This is a Christmas staple - an absolute must. Fire up the barbie, don your brand new boardies, and rip into a bottle of this before the rellies swing by. "
