Dutch it up on Australia Day

If historical events had panned out a little differently Australia Day would have a very different feel. We'd be stomping around in clogs instead of thongs, draping ourselves in eye–bleeding orange and everywhere you looked there would be little boys with their fingers in dykes.

Dutch explorers were checking out our north and west coasts more than a hundred years before Captain Cook ever got his feet wet but for some reason never liked the place enough to stick around. Maybe they knew they'd get greater riches by coming back to coach the national soccer team.
 
Regardless of the reason for the fleeting nature of their visits, those journeys have been commemorated through Forest Hill's fabulous Indis label, the inspiration for which came from the old Dutch name for the Indian Ocean – Indis Zee.
 
We've had huge success with these wines in the past and here's why.
• They come from the star winery of W.A's Great Southern region,
• James Halliday gave Forest Hill his highest rating, 5 Stars, in his 2010 Wine Companion
• They're textbook examples of cool climate Great Southern styles
• The last time we saw this kind of quality at this kind of price someone was selling from the boot of their car.
 
Seriously, a case of Indis Shiraz or Semillon Sauvignon Blanc at just $99 plus delivery is the best discovery you make all year.
 
Why not buy two? Then you can go Double Dutch.
