Very nice wine, but not quite enough points per cent without PC and a voucher.

Hewitson Old Garden Mourvedre 2021
The Old Garden vineyard is the oldest Mourvèdre vineyard in the world, planted in 1853. Dry-grown, original existing vines, pre-Phylloxera. Eight rows of this rare and unique planting remain to this day at Rowland Flat and produce winemaker Dean Hewitson’s much-lauded single-vineyard table wine...

Ended up with 12 cases of the Mandala 2017 working out at 73 points per dollar. Great deal
How did you get this? I received 1 (one) email off Neil after my first purchase and that's it. Does he/the team send emails regularly?
any verdict whether this is a solid buy?

I think it's solid.
I have personally purchased the deal.
I'm not fussed about the Hewitson, but I am a big fan of the Eisenstone, Giant Steps, Leconfield. Haven't had the others but most do have pedigree and are relatively well known.

They send emails sporadically. You really need to request the list of specials each month IME.

I believe it's by invitation. This is what they say....

I just hit purchase on this Winter Warmers dozen to score the bonus 30k points and used a $50 PC voucher to reduce the price slightly.
The value for me is more in the points than the wines as many in the case lean towards being bigger, heavier reds than the more structured wines I prefer. Having said that, I've had the Heirloom Pinot Noir before and thought it was exceptional. And I look forward to trying the Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah as they're a very consistent brand at all price points.

Much as I love points I also feel life is too short to drink bad wine and for me that’s basically anything but my preferred styles. For me these mixes might have one or two wines I like but far too often there are a lot of fillers included because they have been hard to get rid of (usually fully justified IMO).

Don't have work drinks/family functions you can palm them off at? That's where a lot of my Qantas wine ends up.
I dislike the big reds that typically make up the high point earns on Qantas Wine, but provided it's cheaper to book the flights on points+wine than cash, I'll buy them and work out how to get rid of them later (the '$50 a bottle' Blue Pyrenees limited shiraz has been making for a splendid cooking wine
).Basically I want my colleagues and friends to think I have good taste in wine and this seems a good way to destroy that quickly!
