There is something special about having a great wine rack or cellar full of exciting wines. A visit to your wine rack to choose a special bottle for a lunch or dinner with friends is one of life’s great pleasures. Of course, you need to have some great wines in storage to make this a reality. With that in mind here are ten fabulous wines to put in your wooden wine racks:

At No. 10 I would recommend the Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2015 from the Canberra district. This velvety rich wine with a hint of spice will turn any meal into a special affair.

Cullen Diana Madeline 2014

Cullen’s wines are stunning wines across the range and this cabernet blend is truly top notch. Margaret River is a special place and the Cullens make the best wine in the area.

Ten Fabulous Wines to Put In Your Wine Rack

Penfolds Bin 95 Grange 2012

Not all Granges are worth the money in my opinion, as their iconic status has removed them from the normal way of things. This 2012 drop is, however, a fine example of what Grange can truly be.

Yabby Lake Vineyard Single Block Release Block 6 Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2015

The name may be long but the vino inside the bottle is worth every syllable and fricative. A great wine exemplifying what is best about the Mornington region.
