Discover a curated selection of exceptional wines with the Critic Picks Mixed 6 Pack, a collection designed to showcase outstanding quality and diversity. Each bottle in this set has been carefully chosen based on expert evaluations, ensuring a vibrant range of flavours and styles that highlight the best of contemporary winemaking with tasting notes provided in every case.

This collection brings together a compelling cross-section of contemporary Australian and classic Burgundian wine, spanning three white varieties and three reds, with a strong emphasis on cool-climate freshness, regional character and cellar-worthy structure.

The standout reds begin with the Leconfield 76 Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021, from an exceptional Coonawarra vintage. Ken Gargett awarded it 95 points, praising its seamless structure, bright acidity and impressive length. The Hardys Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 offers greater power and concentration, with 97 points from Wine Orbit and 96 from Vino Masters, highlighting its cassis, tobacco, chocolate and finely integrated tannins.

From Tasmania, the Small Island Enso Coal River Pinot Noir 2025 provides a beautifully contrasting red: perfumed, silky and finely detailed. It has attracted 96 points from both Vino Masters and Wine Orbit, with Ray Jordan awarding 95 and describing it as a classy example of Tasmanian Pinot Noir.

The whites are equally impressive. Jim Barry Lodge Hill Museum Release Riesling 2011 demonstrates the extraordinary ageing potential of Clare Valley Riesling, with 96 points from James Suckling and 95 from James Halliday and Huon Hooke. Its developed citrus, toast, honey and mineral complexity makes it the case's mature gem.

The Gaffy & Neal Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2025 is a richer, textural expression, combining stone fruit, citrus, creamy lees and subtle oak. It received 95 points from Jeremy Oliver, who praised its balance, mineral texture and long, savoury finish. Finally, Domaine Chavy-Chouet Bourgogne Aligoté Les Maréchaux 2023 brings a classic Burgundian counterpoint: crisp, mineral and precise, with a 95-point Vino Masters rating.

Together, these wines offer remarkable diversity, quality and drinking pleasure—from youthful precision to mature complexity.
