If you enjoy seriously good Aussie wines and you’re partial to a bargain, you’ll love this concept. When premium cellars need to sell excess stock in a hurry, they bottle them with plain labels (or ‘cleanskins’) and sell them at a low price. Perhaps unsurprisingly, cleanskins seldom make it out of Oz because savvy locals snap them up fast. You need to be in the right place at the right time, so it pays to have a wine buyer based Down Under. Like our Dan Parrott, who used his contacts to secure this velvety Shiraz from premium, cool climate Langhorne Creek. We aren't allowed to name the winery, but we don't think you'll mind once you taste the classic black and red fruit tones and its lavish, long finish. Great with rich pasta dishes.
