Inside the pack
-
2 x Il Piano Fiano
Bright, detailed and quietly refreshing, with citrus, texture and line. A good first bottle for seafood, chicken, salads and warmer evenings. -
2 x La Grenouille Cabernet Sauvignon
Poised and structured, with blackcurrant, dark cherry, dried herbs and cedar. A steady table wine for lamb, beef or a slower dinner. -
2 x The Ging Shiraz
Dark fruit, spice and McLaren Vale depth. Generous without feeling heavy, and one of the Shiraz wines people most often choose at our cellar door.
Why these six?
- It shows the range clearly — freshness, structure and depth in one balanced six-pack.
- It removes the guesswork if you are new to Smidge and want a sensible first order.
- Two bottles of each wine means you can open one now and come back to one later.
- It gives you a real first look at how the wines sit together at the table.
- It unlocks S-Select benefits without fixed deliveries or ongoing commitment.
