2025 Benjamin Darnault Picpoul de Pinet
Picpoul is having a moment in Australia right now, and everyone is going off for its racy, minerally, slightly saline deliciousness.
Winemaker Benjamin Darnault makes wine in various crus across Languedoc in the south of France, sourcing grapes from a variety of sustainable growers and working hard to champion their hard work and the region's terroir.
Fresh and clean, not a whiff of oak to be seen. Plenty of citrus and zippy acidity, an all-time great quaffer.

Dan Graham is taking a new look at the Barossa, steering away from heavy extraction towards wines that emphasize real structural detail and genuine drinkability. He has spent years building a network of top-tier growers, and for this 2025 Chenin, he has cast his net across both the Barossa and the high northern hills of the Clare Valley.
Dan presses the fruit firmly to grab extra phenolics, lets the juice ferment naturally on lees, and allows it to go through full malolactic conversion. It spent months resting in a mix of seasoned French and Slovenian oak before settling in tank.
What hits the glass is brilliantly unique and savoury. It tracks along with a smoky, wild herb edge, backed by a waxy, salty citrus drive and a distinctive texture that feels like crushed stones.
There's real flesh and depth here, but it stays entirely focused, refreshing, and dangerously smashable.

This is Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 101.
Murdoch Hill is a producer that should be on your radar, with winemaker Michael Downer one of the real up-and-coming talents in the country. This Chardonnay might not have the pizzaz and funk of his 'Artisan' releases, but boy oh boy is it a good drink.
It comes from a selection of different vineyards in the Adelaide Hills, providing complexity, balance and depth to the final product. Light and fresh on the one hand, creamy and mouth filling on the other. It's a mighty fine drink and nifty value.

This is the wine that started it all for Ricky Evans, and after 14 vintages, it remains the definitive snapshot of the Tamar Valley. The TMV is a clever puzzle of fruit sourced from three distinct areas of the valley - a mix of estate blocks and long-term leased sites that Ricky knows inside out.
The 2025 season was another warm one, forcing an early start to the harvest. Because sugars were moving fast, Ricky focused on picking for freshness, being light-handed in the winery to avoid over-extraction. He stayed cautious with the whole-bunch component, settling on a 10% inclusion across the final blend to add just enough spice and aromatic lift without overshadowing the fruit.
The result is a classic, pretty Pinot that captures the Tamar wonderfully. It’s loaded with bright red berries - think raspberry and wild strawberry - wrapped in fine, chalky tannins. Spending 11 months in oak (only 10% new) has kept the palate juicy and vibrant. It’s a fragrant, effortless Pinot that’s made for immediate enjoyment, though it has enough structure to keep things interesting. As always with Two Tonne, it’s dangerously drinkable and stocks never last long.

The Albert Schweitzer family knew exactly what they were taking on when they bought this historic Gauriac estate back in 1962. Rather than coasting on its old 1855 Cru Bourgeois classification, they ripped everything up and completely replanted the vines to push the limits of what a more accessible Bordeaux could be.
The fruit for this release is pulled from hillsides loaded with limestone and coated in a thick layer of silt across the Côtes-de-Bourg appellation. They farm the whole site under strict High Environmental Value sustainable guidelines, making sure the dirt does most of the heavy lifting.
You don't often see this kind of patience in this price bracket. This Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend spends anywhere from 12 to 24 months resting in vats, with a portion seeing time in French oak barrels to build out the texture before being bottled right at the chateau.
It drinks with plenty of weight and drive, delivering plush, dark fruit in a classic BDX frame. There's real power here, but it manages to stay incredibly light on its feet. Terrific value for money.

Alex Head's Head GSM is fresher take on a classic Barossan Grenache blend, focusing on perfume, drinkability, and offering great value.
Alex's passion for contemporary Barossa wines shines through in this blend. He collaborates with small, sustainable growers, sourcing grapes from some of the region's oldest vineyards, up to 100 years old.
The Grenache offers vibrant fruit, Shiraz adds dried herb notes, and Mataro brings spice and tannin, creating a harmonious blend with plush fruit, fresh acidity and a long, spicy finish.
This is a versatile mid-week slurper, perfect with pizza, pasta, or on its own. As with all of Alex's wines, it delivers superb value, and an honest taste of the Barossa through a modern lens.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.
Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.
What that means for you:
- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate
Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.
**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.
If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
