April Mixed Dozen 2026 - Icons & Stars

What makes a wine iconic? It’s not just excellence in the glass, but its influence and its impact. These wines shape styles, set standards, and inspire winemakers and drinkers alike. They demonstrate how, in the right hands, nature and nurture can combine to create something enduring.  Sometimes it’s because they broke the mold, establishing a new order, smashing trends, helping define what is possible, and others because they represent the highest expression of terroir, tradition, and time, establishing benchmarks for the rest to look up to.

With that in mind, we have put together a cracking collection of icons and stars of the wine world to get you through June. There are some brilliant drops from some of Australia’s most respected and lauded winemakers and producers. They hail from all corners of the land and cover a plethora of classic styles, some so unique you will never see them outside of Australia.

Of course, we have made sure to include some international stars in the list. These household names cover  France, Italy, New Zealand, and even a brilliant little treat from Greece that we think you will love.

We've made sure to keep the wines perfect for a little mid-season drinking with some textural whites, crunchy reds, and mid-weight beauties.

It's a wonderful selection of Icons and stars to enjoy through April.
