Shiraz

Shiraz is Australia's grape. Full stop. No other variety has been so thoroughly adopted, so thoroughly argued about, and so thoroughly drunk at backyards across the country. From the massive, sun-drenched reds of the Barossa Valley to the elegant, peppery cool-climate styles of the Grampians and Heathcote, Shiraz contains multitudes.

With over 1,300 options at Plonk, you can go broad or go deep. Stock the cellar with reliable everyday drinkers, or chase the serious single-vineyard stuff that makes wine collectors go quiet and stare into the middle distance. Both are valid. Both are available by the case.

A$15 flat delivery Australia-wide means a case of Shiraz costs the same to ship whether you're in Surry Hills or a sheep station outside Broken Hill. Pick your style, pick your region, and stock up properly.
