Simply purchase the 15th Anniversary 15 Bottle Mix, which includes savings of 54% and 2 FREE Dartington Crystal glasses. Think of it as our way of saying thanks for your continued support!
The 15th Anniversary Selection includes 3 bottles each of some of our most popular wines. That’s 15 bottles for 15 glorious years. Notably, there’s the famed red blend Cabalié Origine 2022 a Gold winner from France, as well as a delightful Bordeaux - the Reboul Salze 2021 (which also won Gold). Additionally, you’ll find vibrant Cabernet from Italy, a Californian red blend, and a Portuguese red finished in old Port barrels. All can be savoured in your FREE Dartington Crystal glasses!
Can you imagine buying 1,008 bottles of wine in one year? That’s 200 gallons to be exact – the same amount that each American household was allowed to make for ‘personal use’ during Prohibition. And the go-to grape during this DIY time wasn’t Cabernet or Merlot, it was the bold and juicy Alicante Bouschet - widely planted in California but originally from Portugal. Today, award-winning winemaker Jamie Quendera has crafted a mighty, Reserva-quality red, from rare 100-year-old vines. And the unique twist? Jamie aged the wine for 12 months in custom double casks. The top and bottom are French oak (imparting subtle spice) while the long side planks are American (for vanilla notes). The result is an ultra-smooth, cherry-ripe, well-spiced drop!

The judges at China's Wine & Spirits Best Value Awards were impressed by this rich, spicy Shiraz, unanimously awarding it a Gold. It’s from John Quarisa, who for many years made wine for the biggest names in Oz, winning both the Jimmy Watson and Stodart Trophies.
Today, with the help of his wife Josephine, he crafts winners like this. ‘Passion is Everything’ is their motto, and, after just over a decade in operation, their winery in New South Wales boasts four stars from Aussie wine guru James Halliday. He describes the “exceptional value for money provided by the wines” and is full of praise for this red. It’s deliciously easy going, but still packs a punch of luscious ripe fruit. A sure bet for a bbq, a roast or a hearty bake.
