Here at Wild Duck Creek, our small production levels have necessitated the use of an allocation system for our wines. In May/June we send out our annual letter to our allocation recipients, in the form of a Standing Order. This time of year is much better for our wines to be delivered to you due to the mild temperatures of a Southern Hemisphere winter. You may even get a knock on the door from David or Liam, personally delivering your wine to you.
After allocations have been filled, the remaining portion of our wines move to export markets in over 10 countries. Unfortunately due to very small production levels (sometimes less than 50 cases), some wines are fully subscribed, and a waiting list exists for an allocation.
As an added bonus to allocation holders, we periodically release some ‘specials’. These wines are usually experimental in nature and come in extremely small quantities. They are wines of high quality and very low price, only for allocation holders to buy. To get hold of these ‘specials’, as part of your allocation you will receive a password which will give you access to our ‘Specials’ section of this website.
