Huge savings on this top quality shiraz that scored 94 points from James Halliday. It’s a Leasingham wine that has to be sold as a cleanskin, hence the rock bottom price. Pay just $239 a case insread of $720. This is an outstanding bargain that won’t last long. It will cellar well too.

It’s tricky but not impossible and well worth the effort for Valentine’s Day so here are a few tips.

Aim for similarity of flavours. For sweeter, more delicate chocolate with a low cocoa percentage, you need a sweeter wine. Dark chocolate can be matched with a fuller bodied wine so that the bitterness and intense flavours are adequately matched.

A tawny port, a light sweet Riesling or a sparkling wine all work very well with a white chocolate or milk chocolate.

For dark, bittersweet chocolates try a cabernet sauvignon as long as it isn’t oaky or perhaps a spicy shiraz.

Definitely Chocolate specialise in luxury, hand made chocolate gifts. I’m a dark chocolate fan so this is my choice:
