The Lucky Dip Case is back! The first time we did this, we broke the internet. This time we’ve bubble-wrapped the servers because they’re in for another beating.

Every case contains the same eleven wicked wines, including some of our absolute faves here at the ‘fo. More info on them below, and they’re all good things. All mofo standard - i.e. nothing we haven’t enjoyed ourselves.

Then there’s the added excitement of seeing which one of these world-beater wines you will receive as your twelfth. 

The twelfth wine is the wildcard and could be any one of these:

An iconic Penfolds Grange 2019 worth $1000 (1 in 100 chance)

Archery Road Bullseye Shiraz 2015 worth $130 (1 in 25 chance)

Lou Miranda Estate Golden Lion Shiraz 2019 worth $50 (1 in 10 chance)

First Drop Home of the Brave Shiraz 2021 worth $30 (at a minimum!)

Each box contains one of these epic wines. The odds vary per wine, but each one is a centrepiece wine, worthy of some truly special occasions.

We should say up front: there are no returns on this - click here for case terms and conditions. As it’s a Lucky Dip, it would be unfair to other mofos running in the draw. 

The easiest way to guarantee to get a bottle of Grange is to go out and buy one for yourself. If you, like me, don’t have $1000 handy, this is definitely your best (and cheapest) option! Heard enough already? Pop that case in the cart and cross your fingers and toes! Otherwise, read on for a bit more info on all those lovely wines:

The Wild Card Wines

Wild Card Wine #1

Penfolds Grange Shiraz 2019

South Australia

98+pts Andrew Caillard MW | 98+pts Colin Hay | 98pts Ken Garget | 98pts Tyson Stelzer | 98pts Jeni Port

"97/3% shiraz/cabernet sauvignon; matured in new American oak for 19 months. A quieter release for the 2019 rendition of Penfolds' world-famous icon. A little less of the formic and VA heft of youth in this showing and a bit more approachable as a result. Deep crimson in the glass with familiar characters of deep black berry fruits, plum compote and black cherry underscored with hints of baking spices, Calvados, espresso grounds, black olive tapenade, roasting meats, creamy oak, purple flowers and earth. Weighty and concentrated with classic Grange density of fruit and tannin; persistent, texturally flexing and long of finish. As per usual will cellar like a dream, but I think it will hit its drinking window a bit earlier than usual." - David Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

YOU’D PAY $1000 full price

Wild Card Wine #2

Archery Road Bullseye Shiraz 2015

Barossa Valley, SA

95pts Wine Orbit | 4.3 Vivino (All Vintages) | Five Stars Wine Orbit

Here is one show-stopping, chart-topping shiraz that’s ready and roaring. While this is drinking perfectly now, do be warned - it’s quite the blockbuster! Handcrafted from the finest grapes of their Barossa vineyard, this does what we look for the most in these wines; rich, full-bodied and full of aromatic lift. Moroccan spices and dense black fruits such as blackberries and black cherry. All of course handled beautifully with high quality oak and supporting fine tannins. A blockbuster with a really great plot. 

YOU’D PAY $130 full price. 

Wild Card Wine #3

Lou Miranda Estate Golden Lion Shiraz 2019

Barossa Valley, SA

95pts Wine Orbit | 4.0 Vivino (2019 Vintage) | Five Star Wine Orbit

The universally-adored Lou Miranda shiraz is without a doubt one of our favourite wines, for so many reasons. Unmistakably Barossa, and as ferociously opulent as the name suggests. All family owned, all female run, all quality driven, and all American oak are just some of the great things about this wine year after year. The 2019 vintage was a stand out vintage for Barossa, something you can’t help but notice in this fruit driven, dramatic wine. Dark berries, plums and abundant spices, with a toasty, creamy and coconut-rich finish. It’s big,  bold, and ballsy drinking to sink your teeth into at important family get-togethers. This beast will cellar for a decade or more, easily. That’s no reason to shy away from opening it though. We’re betting this lion won’t stay caged for long. 

YOU’D PAY $50 full price.

Wild Card Wine #4

First Drop Home of the Brave Shiraz 2021

Barossa Valley, SA

If you’re familiar with quintessential Barossa shiraz, our bet is you’ll know this winery and their famed wines. Sometimes eccentric, sometimes playful, always quality. We’ll look at the 2021 vintage as one to be heralded for decades to come, you’d be silly not to stock up. Mulberry, plum, chocolate and black cherries abound in a delightful supporting structure filled to the brim with oak spices. Add a hearty meal and you’re really in for a journey of flavours.

YOU’D PAY $30 full price.
