Thistledown Thorny Devil Grenache 2023
$35.00From several districts, off old, dry-grown bush vines. The ferments are all nuanced, but all are wild, and there is always some whole bunch; maturation for eight months in old French oak. Pale in hue and pretty in fragrance, such is the vintage. Flavours skip through cranberry, wild raspberry, pomegranate and rose, with white pepper […]

Rob Hall Harriet’s Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
$40.00From Harriet’s vineyard in Healesville. Two batches: one whole-bunch pressed, the other destemmed with 24 hours’ skin contact. Matured in seasoned hogsheads and puncheons. A bright green gold. Subtle and complex with its bouquet of just-picked white nectarines, lightly grilled nuts, lemongrass and a little sea spray. Fills out nicely on the mid-palate and there’s […]

Stonegarden Shiraz 2021
$80.00Out of Stock
I’m not sure it’s possible to produce anything but an excellent wine off the Stonegarden vineyard and the 2021 is certainly one of the best. Could this be anything other than Barossa Shiraz? One of the world’s most evocative wines, and it doesn’t seem to matter who it’s made by, the strength of Barossa Valley […]

Domenica Chardonnay 2023
$55.00Out of Stock
‘A very fine chardonnay, without quite the precision, detail and tension that I recall from other years. Stone fruit, flint, lanolin, porcini and that regional tattoo of glazed quince. Quinine bitterness at the finale. Mid-weighted and nicely nervous in the mouth, while suitably open-knit enough to breach already. Fine. Drink or hold. Screw cap.’ 95 Points […]

MMAD Chenin Blanc 2023
$45.00“The road to success with chenin blanc is not always clear. Take your eye off it and you can find yourself in drab backwaters, but unwavering focus delivers you to exciting destinations like this. From vines pushing roots into Blewitt Springs sand for 60 years, it’s for those who like to chew on a wine’s […]

Apogee Deluxe Vintage Brut 2020
$70.00Out of Stock
Lovely, clear colour, somewhere between sunflower yellow and gold. Wafting aromatics, I almost wish I had a white wine glass, rather than a Champagne flute, to capture the spilling complexity. Hazelnut, honey, stewed apple, spring jasmine, cherry, gingernut biscuit and lime. Rich and full bodied, buoyed by frothing freshness, a marvelous combination of weight, power […]

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2018
$55.00Tasted alongside the 2017, the 2018 vintage is warmer and drier, and so fuller, with a slightly darker fruit profile and pronounced structure. Gorgeous aromatics of cola, aniseed, cassis, rose, geranium, bitumen and savoury spice. Rich and full flavoured, but in no way heavy and the overall impression is one of translucence and purity. Round […]

Stargazer Pinot Noir 2023

Two separate parcels of Pinot Noir, planted in 2002 and 2017 respectively.

Joshua Cooper Doug’s Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023
$75.00I’m pretty familiar with this wine and its flavour profile and shape, year on year, is very consistent. A little rounder than in the past, and slightly less structured, the tannins lacy. Different from those rough hewn cabernets! Sandalwood, fresh mixed herbs, blueberry and a compote of English summer red fruits. Mouthwatering backend finale, tightening, […]

Rivulet Glaziers Bay Pinot Noir 2022

Pinot noir sourced from the Elsewhere vineyard, between Cygnet and Huonville in the Huon Valley; 25% whole bunches, matured for 11 months in French oak (16% new). Phwoar … this smells great.

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$70.00Bright ruby. Opens with a core of pure blackcurrant cabernet fruit together with scents of cedar, violets and a very gentle leafiness. The palate is youthful, refined and persistent and the tannins are silky yet long chained. It all adds up to a wine that, while good now, will age effortlessly over the next eight […]

Even Keel Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2022

A classic Tumbarumba chardonnay, and you can taste why fruit from here is making some of Australia’s best. Classis notes of stone and citrus fruits, star jasmine, grilled nuts and reductive notes. Terrific intensity and great drive, with a lovely fleshy mid palate, rounding and softening the superstructure of citrus laden acidity. A thoroughly complete […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
$69.00No Huldufolk this, which works for me as this is the finest chardonnay to date. 40 per cent new French oak, no malolactic as usual, the fruit soaking up what has to be very expensive wood. Super fragrant, with spring jasmine, pawpaw, fig, quince, white peach, preserved lime, spicy oak, burnt butter and citrus rind. […]

Clyde Park Pinot Noir 2023

Impossible not to love this. Waters Wine Co There are 5 blocks of Pinot Noir on the Clyde Park property, planted from 1986 […]

Bondar Junto GSM 2023
$30.00One of my favourite Bondar wines. We had a 2022 a year after release and it was gorgeous, better after a year in bottle. Vibrant from start to finish with pure black, red and blue fruits, dried flowers and mixed herbs. Curvy, full flavoured and downright easy to drink, with lithe tannins and gentle acidity. […]

Rob Hall Cabernets 2023
$30.00Rob knows a thing or two about cabernet, most likely, I’m guessing, from his days at Mount Mary. A brilliant, crimson purple, this fragrant wine leaps out of the glass with its bouquet of cassis, liqueur cherries, cedar, violets and just a soupçon of fresh tomato leaf. Medium bodied, this juicy-fruited wine is impeccably balanced […]

Wild Duck Creek Yellow Hammer Hill Shiraz Malbec 2022
$30.00Big, black and beautiful. Purple, very purple! Plush primary red and black fruits. Blackcurrant, raspberries, blackberries and red apple. The palate is silky and supple with a delicious berry and redskin flavour, rolling into chewy tannins, coal smoke and milk chocolate hints with a long palate coating finish. An absolute cracker! Cellar up to 10 […]

Pressing Matters R9 Riesling 2022
$42.00I love the ‘R’ designations on the Pressing Matters rieslings. From R0 for bone-dry to R139 for sweet, they are an indication of the RS in the wine. The R9, in theory, should teeter on that fulcrum between dry and off-dry, but that crystalline Tasmanian acidity tempers any sweetness and it appears dry. And totally […]

Spinifex Syrah 2021

Syrah from a selection of vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys, judicious use of whole clusters, matured on light lees in a combination of large-format vessels for around 8 months prior to bottling. Deep purple red in the glass, it’s a rollicking, crunchy, bright and sapid ride with a gorgeous plume of plummy fruit, […]

Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2021
$55.00Out of Stock
From a 330m elevation vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Whole-bunched pressed to older puncheons. Natural fermentation and no mlf. A touch riper and more concentrated than last year’s version. Aromas of red apples and just-ripened orchard fruits with a little flint. Fans out nicely on the palate. Gently savoury and with a touch of grip […]
