Irrewarra Pinot Noir 2023
$70.00I haven’t tried Irrewarra for a few years and had forgotten what a wonderful set of wines they are. They have the hallmark prettiness of Farr, presumably from ferments with a high proportion of whole berries, the mid palate flesh and weight and the lovely finessed grip of cashmere tannins. The wines offer a gorgeous, […]

Henri Germain Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Aux Gravains Rouge 2022
$265.00“A full throttle purple colour, no doubting the density this year. Plums and dark berries, retaining the powerful style chez Germain up front, then becoming much purer behind with a long red fruit finish. Balanced acidity.” 89-92 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Gravins 1er Cru has an exquisite and pure […]

Henri Germain Beaune 1er Cru Bressandes 2022
$265.00“The 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Bressandes is very pretty, exhibiting aromas of orange zest, raspberries, rose petals and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and supple palate that’s fine-boned and mineral. 91-92 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate “Slightly less dense in colour than some, and correspondingly a little more open, a little […]

Joshua Cooper Pinot Noir 2024
$50.00The Early Release wines of Josh Cooper are obviously less expensive and are supposedly an introduction to the range. The pinot noir however, along with all the range, is pretty darn serious stuff, in this case coming off the fabled Doug’s vineyard. Lovely aromatics, pretty, floral, with raspberry, rhubarb, poached plum, tangy redcurrant, blood orange […]

Joshua Cooper Rose 2024
$38.00A very serious rose, without sacrificing the fun or refreshment factor. It has a lovely luminous colour of copper, and the aromatics are high toned red fruits, Middle Eastern spice, mixed herbs, cream and marzipan. All enveloping, really coating all corners of the mouth. Lithe and fleshy, its curve cut by acidity and faint cashmere […]

Farr Rising Saignee Rose 2024
$44.00‘This wine has been gone for too long. I’ve missed it. It has a pinkie onion skin vibe in the glass, and the nose is of ripe fruits, and a complex oak derived aroma, but not simply woody, maybe more like almonds or more specifically a marzipan character. On second smell, the nose is of […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Small Wonder Pinot Noir 2023
$55.00A sense of effortless calm descends from any glass from the Sailor Seeks Horse duo. Intensely aromatic with sweet red summer fruits, tangy hedge fruits, potpourri and savoury spice. Mid weight and supple, yet there is a concentration and persistence that belies the gentle colour and cool drinkability. Firmness, just the right squeeze of skin […]

Pooley Pinot Noir 2024
$55.00Aged in French oak for only 8 months, capturing the freshness and intensity of the fruit. Sweet and tangy red fruits of raspberry, cherry and cranberry, blueberry, violets and savoury spice. Medium bodied, intense, lithe and athletic, the oak having virtually no impact on the flavour of the wine. Precise, opulent and focused, with firm, […]

Gosset Grande Réserve Brut NV
$110.00Gosset’s emblematic Champagne, and at this price, surely the best of the House Champagnes. Complex aromatics of white and yellow flowers, brioche, dark honey and lemon zest. Almost full bodied, the overriding sense of it is abundance. Broad and rich with ginger nut, fleshy red fruits and subtle citrus. Wonderfully round and generous with just […]

By Farr RP Pinot Noir 2022
$165.00Sleek, polished and precise. The ‘22 RP is a beautiful garnet colour in the glass. The nose is small red fruits; cranberry, raspberry, red cherry, wedded to loads of spice. Savoury notes of cornichon, a pretty note of red petals all tie in this wonderfully complex wine. Notes of Cola which sounds weird, but I […]

Bicknell FC Applecross Pinot Noir 2022

A great expression of Yarra Valley pinot noir, with it’s intense aromas, precise structure, elevated fruit and spicy/flavor characteristics. Red fruit compote, dried flowers, star anise, hoisin and subtle oak. Bright and vibrant, yet with the structure, balance and length of flavor to age for […]

Rob Hall Pinot Noir 2023
$30.00Out of Stock
Mainly destemmed with a small amount of whole bunches. Matured, mainly, in seasoned hogheads and puncheons. A very light crimson. Fruit-forward aromas of gently poached red fruits, spices and light floral notes. The palate is similarly easygoing, with soft tannins rounding out an early-drinking, good-value Yarra pinot. 91 points – Halliday Wine Companion

It is the go-to rosé for wine professionals, with nuances of juicy/poached red berry fruits, yet finishes dry and fresh. 96 points- James Halliday’s […]

J&S Fielke Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir 2022
$40.00One of my favourite red wines of 2023, at a price point that is swamped by good but unexciting examples of pinot. Well, this is amazing. Ripe stewed red fruits of rhubarb, strawberry, cherry and cranberry, with a sweet and savoury spice element. Floral too, with lavender, violet and geranium. Open and beautifully proportioned, with […]

Gembrook Hill JKM Pinot Noir 2022
$95.00Two barrels only, about a third whole bunches. The DNA of the estate in overdrive. Sweet and tangy red fruits of raspberry, English strawberry, plum, cranberry, dark cherry and rhubarb. Lovely succulent palate of incredible textural complexity. Cashmere and slick, yet the finish is bookended by firm skinsy tannins. The fruit is abundant, but what […]

Pooley Pinot Noir 2023
$55.00The darkest and most hedonistic of the Pooley range with mixed black fruits, fennel, kirsch and bitter chocolate. Full bodied and polished, the fruit, so rich and fresh taking centre stage. Savoury notes of sweet and savoury spice, pepper, gamey notes, liquorice and fresh compost. Generous and gorgeous, the tannins rich but soft and the […]

Hochkirch Villages Pinot Noir 2021
$50.00This is 100% estate fruit, 25% whole bunches were retained while the balance of the crop was destemmed. A wild ferment was in small open vats and the juice had about three to four days rest before some gentle foot-stomping and a daily plunge. Everything was pressed after 14 days into tank, and then gravity-fed […]

Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2020
$98.00A similar vintage to the 2012, but may see even greater heights. The emblematic wine of the estate, a blend of fruit from all pinot noir vineyards. Pure scents of blueberry, Asian spices, kirsch, cassis, violets, blood plum and a touch of cola. Composed and refined, mid-weight with a structure that is unique to Rippon, […]
