It’s here! The Aussie red that just took the world by storm, made global headlines and is now recognised as one of the “50 Best Wines in the World” from the world’s largest and most influential wine competitions – the 2024 Decanter World Wine Awards in London.

But here’s your heads up – with stock extremely limited and global demand through the roof it’s been tightly allocated and we’ve secured every last box of New Zealand’s only shipment. Every red lover around the world will be wanting to lay their mits on this wine…so don’t think twice or you’ll miss it!

This won Best In Show with a 97/100 rating which is an absolutely incredible achievement! Winning Best In Show at the DWWA is no easy road that’s for sure. After joining over 18,000 other wines they are then awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze –  the rest are shown the door! Then the best of the best go toe-to-toe to determine the Platinum award winners. THEN, the Platinum award winners go to head-to-head to discover the overall Best In Show winners, the top 50 wines from the entire competition.

Or let’s put it another way – top 50 from over 18,000 is just 0.002% of all wines entered got a Best In Show Award!

The judges at the DWWA in London had this to say. “Grenache also takes the lead in the second of this year’s McLaren-Vale-sourced Best In Show laureates – though on this occasion it’s partnered by 21 per cent Shiraz and 9 per cent Mataro (Mourvèdre) to make a classic Aussie GSM blend. For all that, you’ll find it a McLaren Vale wine first and foremost. It’s not black-red, as GSMs from other regions might be, but dark purple red, and the bush-fragrant, soft skiffle sweetness of its tender aromatic profile (you can tell the Grenache is in charge) is also distinctively regional. There’s ample weight on the palate, and the other two varieties swing in to divert the sweetness out towards something a little sterner, a little more plant-like, and with a different spectrum of primary fruit. The tannins here are soft, leaving the wine’s rounded, sunbeam acidity to account for the wine’s balance”

The Real Review’s Huon Hooke also said “Red Knot has been a symbol of great value for money for years, and this wine is a remarkable buy and a totally delicious wine.”

We’ve tried the wine…a few times….y’know just to be sure! Wow, what a simply incredible bottle of medium weight, luscious red thanks to the juicy, fragrant Grenache, the rich McLaren Vale Shiraz and the succulent Mourvedre! There’s no wonder there’s a mad rush to grab this one…
