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)

Chateau Yaldara 1847 Grand Pappy's Shiraz 2020 worth $320 (1 in 10 chance)

Archery Road Longbow Shiraz 2019 worth $80 (1 in 25 chance)

Reschke Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 worth $55 (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

Chateau Yaldara 1847 Grand Pappy's Shiraz 2020

Barossa Valley, SA

96pts Wine Orbit | 4.3 Vivino | Five Stars Wine Orbit

We all know the Barossa, and likely this icon of a wine, but do we really know it’s history? Introducing to you pioneers of this famed region, with this winery established over 150 years ago. They show no mercy when it comes to staying true to the region: meaty, bold, and focused reds with a whole lot of character. You know what we’re talking about: eye-catching hues of purple, soft and silky tannins, and more plummy goodness than you can poke a stick at. There’s cherry and rhubarb sure, but we’re talking unapologetic notes of chocolate, toasty oak and handfuls of freshly cracked pepper. It’s a showstopper, and built to impress even the most discerning of critics.

YOU’D PAY $320 full price. 

Wild Card Wine #3

Archery Road Longbow Shiraz 2019

Barossa Valley, SA

From the prized southern part of the sun-drenched Barossa, steeped in quality grown shiraz (you know we’ve done the research) It’s right here, where the surrounding views offer the picture-perfect painting; a diversity of colours from the tree leaves to the soils, which in turn give our favourite grape - shiraz - all the lashings of character we as adults have grown to become obsessed with. A blend of hand-selected low-yielding parcels, you’ll find generous flavours of black fruit, olive and pepper spice, backed by silky tannins, yet the wine is intense on the palate, with a great depth and length. Such a complex finish, and a damn fine gem of a shiraz.

YOU’D PAY $80 full price.

Wild Card Wine #4

Reschke Reserve Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Coonawarra, SA

95pts Wine Orbit | Five Stars Wine Orbit

We’re not going to talk to you like you don’t know what to expect, and instead we’re going to tell you why this wine is the next best thing. There’s everything you crave in the style: cocoa and minty eucalypt mingling with blackcurrants aplenty. What’s that? Oh, in comes a smattering of smokey spice, a dollop of dark jammy fruits, and an emerging earthy tone that sets everything in its place.

YOU’D PAY $55 full price.
