Premium Shiraz Dozen

Save $525 on a quartet of pedigree premium Shiraz releases worth up to $130 a bottle. Pikes have a powerful entry in this week’s special offer mix and it’s a wine with pedigree – the E.W.P. Reserve Clare Valley Shiraz is named in honour of Edgar Walter Pike, family patriarch and co-founder of Pikes Wines. Fittingly it’s only made when the vintage is worthy, and the ’22 has an RRP of $75. Alongside it in the case is the mighty and Gold medal-winning 2016 Armenta Coonawarra Shiraz from Reschke, given 96 points by Wine Orbit and retailing at $130; the 2018 Gemtree Ernest McLaren Vale Shiraz, rated 95 points by James Halliday and with an RRP of $55; plus the Kaesler Reach for the Sky Barossa Shiraz 2021, given 94 points by Halliday. At $29.99 a bottle, it’s a mix of superlative shiraz with a vertiginous discount of more than $525, or almost 60%.
