Australian Top Dozen Case (Revised Selection)

Bleasdale Langhorne Crossing Verdelho Sauvignon 2017

Blind Spot Clare Valley Riesling 2017

D'Arenberg McLaren Vale White Ochre 2017

Lovely light-coloured and bright-perfumed Australian pinot. Modern in style with plenty of redcurrant and raspberry flavours, this is a very elegant sweet red berry-driven wine that could even be chilled to delicious effect.

This crisp and elegant chardonnay is from the cooler Adelaide region within South Australia. Wonderfully easy to drink, with plenty of lemon and apple flavours, and a mouthwateringly fresh, dry style. Not at all like the golden honeyed chardonnays of the 1990s, and much more drinkable for it! Made exclusively for us by the excellent team at Wirra Wirra.

Made exclusively for us by Paul Hotker at Bleasdale, in the Langhorne Creek region of South Australia, this is a lovely cherry and black-fruit-laden shiraz. Full-bodied but fresh with soft tannins and delicious hints of blackberry and apple crumble on the finish!

Made exclusively for The Wine Society by Hunter Valley experts Brokenwood, this semillon is a delicious new addition to our Society range. With mouthwatering lemon-and-lime flavours, a light body, crisp touch and refreshing finish, this is a perfect pick-me-up wine to be enjoyed with or without food.

Dry, crisp, unoaked Australian white, with scents of apple and melon from the chardonnay and notes of lime and lemongrass from the small but significant helping of semillon in the blend. Lovely fridge-door wine at a snip of a price.

A great everyday red from Australia, with delicious concentration of blackberry and plum fruit flavours with spot-hitting spice and a touch of vanilla on the finish. This soft and full-bodied wine would be great with sausage and mash, or just as it is after a long day.

Wakefield are based in the Clare Valley, a cooler subregion of South Australia producing this elegant yet generous style of shiraz. This delicious wine shows ripe blackcurrant and morello cherry on the nose and palate, and is rich with velvet tannins.

Made by Leconfield, this cabernet has great Coonawarra typicity at a snip of the price. Pure cassis and herbal nose with a touch of classic pencil-lead shavings developing on the full-bodied and intense black-fruited palate. Fantastic value and a fine partner for lamb or a rich wild mushroom risotto.

An excellent everyday option from the Limestone Coast, made exclusively for The Wine Society by Coonawarra heavyweight Parker Estate. The cabernet is from the estate's own terra rossa soils, and the merlot from great vineyards in Wrattonbully. The result is a generous and smart red, with plenty of cassis, mulberry and cigar-box character.
