WINE OF THE MONTH - JUNE
Michael Hall Sang de Pigeon Shiraz 2023
Barossa Valley SA
The wines of Michael Hall have been a part of our range for many years. Michael’s entire range of wines deliver outstanding quality and exceptional value, perhaps none more so than the AWC June wine of the month – Sang de Pigeon Shiraz 2023. The product of a cooler, late harvested (handpicked) vintage this is a medium to full bodied expression of Barossa shiraz. Sang de Pigeon (pigeon’s blood) is a term Michael brings from his former career as a jewel valuer, where the term was applied to a ruby of highest quality that displayed intense, vivid & pure red. This wine measures up to its name on all fronts! The 2023 expression of Sang de Pigeon is one of our favourites to date and we know you will love this wine as much as we do. Salut!
Testimonials
On one of my many trips to Sydney, I decided to visit the Australian Wine Center as I had been looking to buy some Hollick wines that are very challenging to find outside of Australia. They were able to help and arranged to ship a case back to California for me. That was the start of a long term relationship with the AWC as I have purchased hundreds of wines from them over the years, many based on their personal recommendations, and I have now diversified my cellar to include wines from across all regions of Australia. Without the recommendations, selections, packaging and shipping services that Michael and Zachery operate flawlessly, I would have a big hole in my collection. Give them a try; you will not be disappointed.

As an expatriate Australian living in the U.S., I have for several years ordered my Australian wine “care package” from the Australian Wine Centre. The variety of wines available and service (including organising shipment to our home in the US) are excellent.

If you are a lover and collector of fine Australian wines and live overseas then The Australian Wine Centre is definitely the place to go. Use their website or once they know what you are interested in, they will send you specially customized offers to suit and even find those hard to get wines that you may have always wanted to try. If you are organizing a function, they will help you select the wine and deliver. Service with a smile. Logistics and delivery no problem.

I have used the Australian Wine Centre for over 20 years and bought over 500 bottles from them. They offer a tremendous selection that includes all the well known vintners, and features smaller, hard-to-find producers that are so often the highlight of Australia’s wonderful wine industry. This selection, complemented by the broad knowledge, expertise, and dedication of the staff, make the Australian Wine Centre THE source for Australian wine.
Tony, California
I continue to tell everyone I know in the States that you have the best wine service I have ever seen. Thanks for all your help with the selection as well as the shipment.

All is well, the wine arrived today…FYI the case was in excellent shape, one would never know that it travelled half way round the world!
Don, California
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the wonderful service you provided to me yesterday. It’s so refreshing to encounter that kind of service. I rang to place an order, was served quickly, efficiently and with a pleasant demeanour. I then received the order yesterday afternoon, but not by a courier company, someone from your shop had walked up my 8 bottles of champagne himself – how wonderful to get such personal service and all with a smile…

This is probably the best place in the country to buy cases of wine to send home. The proprietors stock an extensive selection of fine Australian wines, and the staff are completely clued in to each state’s liquor laws and the shipping procedures. Their packing is almost breakage free, and they provide competent, personal service. Premium wine from all the major growing areas in the country are sold, including vintages from some boutique wineries that don’t export overseas. One of New South Wales’ largest stocks of Penfolds Grange Hermitage and other rare wines are on hand.

And finally, if you’re thinking of buying wine to ship home, the best place to do it is the privately run Australian Wine Centre. It has a vast selection of Aussie wines, including some older vintages and specialises in keeping track of how to navigate American wine regulations legally.
Wine Spectator Magazine, October 1996
It’s a veritable Alladin’s cave of Australian and New Zealand drops – the choice is simply staggering. One of the city’s premium wine shopping experiences.
