Wines for Valentine's Day

If you’d rather let your wine do the talking this Valentine’s Day, we’ve pulled together a list of 10 highly rated wines that are perfect for sharing with your lover, partner or friend this February 14. 

Want a bottle to BYO to your local Thai restaurant? We recommend riesling. Shut the Gate’s For Love or Worlds Apart’s In the Flowers will do – and you’ll find both for just $32 each.

Ordering a pizza to eat on the couch? Make it romantic with a bottle of Vino Volta’s Love Sick Puppy Dolcetto or Pyren’s Union. 

Does your lover love bigger reds? Open either Tar & Roses' The Rose Shiraz, Billy Button’s The Beloved or Grove Estate The Partners Cabernet Sauvignon. 

Looking to really treat your partner (or perhaps get out of the friend-zone)? Start with Mount Pleasant’s Lovedale Semillon before moving onto a special pinot noir from either Crittenden Estate or New Zealand’s Pyramid Valley.
