December Mixed Dozen 2025 - Christmas Drinking Dozen

Here we are, the final pack of the year.  There are two rules for the wines in this pack: they have to be delicious, and they have to be great value. That's it! We aren't trying to reinvent the wheel here; we just want to make sure you have plenty of great gear to drink over the coming silly season.

With that in mind, and as we always do, we've made sure there are plenty of bright and crunchy whites for the warmer weather to come, and hopefully a little poolside, beach, or bayside action or insert your favourite body of water here. This year, we have got some lush French chardonnay, a couple of crispy white blends that will hit the spot as the mercury rises, one of the best value rieslings in the country, and a staff favourite from Italy. Of course, there is one of our favourite rose from Corsica, no less, to round out the action in the fridge. After all, what is a summer drinking pack without a little rose!?

For the reds think juicy, packed with flavour and perfect for whatever comes off the BBQ. This year its a perfect mixed bag of styles with some lovely Yarra Valley pinot noir that we have only recently discovered, a ripper red blend from Mclaren Vale, one of the best value Chianti you are likely to find, along with our number 1. Rioja producer and their most recent release.

To round it all off, we have included a magnum of Torbreck Woodcutters shiraz. This big boy is looking great, and with the legend that is Ian Hongle at the helm, this is one of the better renditions we have seen. Cracking this big fella will be quite the celebration starter!

And last but not least, we have included some brilliant new gin from Rottnest Island Gins. We tried these recently and loved them. You will be receiving a 200ml tube of goodness along with some Archibald tonic as a mixer. The gins come in four flavours, and we will be randomly popping one in the box for you. They are all delicious, and part of the proceeds help to maintain and protect the wonderland that is Rottnest Island.

This pack is crammed full of delicious drinking. They are the perfect packs to keep around and dip into with a little something for everyone and for any occasion over the holiday season. They're so good that you might as well get two! 

We wish you all a happy holiday and season's greetings. Whatever way you celebrate, enjoy, stay safe, and drink well.
