Patrick Sullivan Baw Baw Chardonnay 2023
$69.00“A slight gold hue, yet bright. An unusual offering this vintage with full-on flavours and yet it’s not unwieldy. Let this breathe and open up, then expect quince paste, lime marmalade, saffron-infused peaches and creamed honey lees. Plenty of perky acidity, a light phenolic tug; the palate is textural and luscious, a little juicy, too. […]

Traviarti Black Springs Nebbiolo 2023
$60.00We established Black Springs vineyard on a friends property at 450 metres on decomposed granite from 2016. Planted to both Chardonnay and Nebbiolo, it’s proving an exceptional site. 2023 is the first vintage kept separate as the maturity of the block has developed (Chardonnay is also Black Springs just forgot to put it on the […]

Thomas Synergy Shiraz 2021
$25.00The selection of the wines going under this label is achieved by blending a large number of barrels that didn’t have the quality needed for Single Vineyard status. It’s a most attractive wine in the lighter end of medium bodied. It won the Trophy for Best One-Year-Old Shiraz at the Hunter Valley Wine Show ’22, […]

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2023
$55.00A flavoursome release of this stalwart Clare riesling; easy access in youth with a sense of high drinkability, concentration of flavour and crystalline acidity. Scents of frangipani, sweet lime, ozone and green apple with similar flavours and a fine, chalky pucker to texture. There’s a general prettiness, an inviting juiciness, despite the excellent, powdery textural […]

Stargazer Chardonnay 2022
$65.00Higher toned and more angular than the 2021, the 2022 is wider and less round in shape. Bright and bracing, yellow peach, white peach, grapefruit, citrus, white flowers, wood spice, pastry and cashew. Intense, very linear, driven, compact and generous. Bracing acidity and great cut, a chardonnay of both volume and cut. Anyone familiar with […]

Gentle Folk Scary Gully Pinot Noir 2023
$65.00Amongst a very small group of producers who are able to combine sweet fruit, savoury flavours and tannins you can taste as much as you can feel. Super aromatic with mixed Middle Eastern spices, blackberry, dark cherry, sweet raspberry and mixed flowers of lavender, geranium and roses. Very savoury, elegant, controlled and European. Something Chianti […]

Agricola Ebenezer Shiraz 2022
$80.00Hoffmann 1951 Dimchurch Home Old. Hoffmann 1888-1912 Dallwitz Old. 1,963 bottles produced. This 2021- 22 growing season will be remembered for its spring hail event in Flaxman Valley that led to painstakingly low crops at harvest and for a cool and mild growing season allowing for plenty of dark and savoury flavour development. This is […]

$30.00Strawberry, raspberry and pomegranate on the nose, with fresh beetroot, cinnamon and liquorice. The palate is plush and round, loaded with juicy sweet fruit, it lingers with notes of vanilla and boysenberry.

Clyde Park Block B3 Chardonnay 2020
$80.00The strength of Block 3 chardonnay, rows 69 to 85, planted in 1995 to the Penfolds P58 clone, continues to shine from year to year. There’s a lot more going on here than your average chardonnay, a deep complexity for one thing. Nougat, honeysuckle, grilled hazelnuts, lemon butter and musky spice, long and smooth across […]

Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2022
$38.00Usually my favourite wine in the range and one for those in any doubt about the efficacy of blends. A 60/40 blend of Grenache and Shiraz. Essentially a barrel selection of the juiciest and brightest fruit for early drinking, but this will nevertheless cruise through 10 years and plenty more. Expressive, so McLaren Vale with […]

Bannockburn Riesling 2024
$30.00“Made mainly from 0.4ha of vines planted in 1976. A pure and quite lovely nose featuring scents of Meyer lemon, makrut lime leaves and floral notes. The palate is linear, chalky and long with the fruit and acidity in perfect harmony. I’m thinking san choy bow would be a great match. I’m guessing it’ll age […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2020
$60.002020 was a tiny vintage at Sailor Seeks Horse in the Huon Valley, yielding just 2 t/ha. But the long, cool growing season has produced wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Wines of elegance and finesse; structure and complexity. And very limited. “With high natural acidity we decided to put a few more of the […]

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00A bright crimson red. After a few good few swirls, aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries, wild herbs and some crushed violets soon emerge. The palate, though, doesn’t need much coaxing, and this silken, sappy wine has excellent depth and persistence. Will be even better six to 12 months from now. 96 points – Philip […]

Frederick Stevenson Grenache 2022
$36.00Awesome Barossa grenache, so different from almost all other iterations. Compote of sweet red fruits, orange peel, compost, alpine herbs and sweet spice. Curvy, full of energy and with a sense of lightness despite the rich flavours. Firm, squeezed tannins, savoury, providing lovely tension to the sweet fruit. Waters Wine Co 94 Points – […]

Fermented with 20% whole bunches and aged in tulip shaped concrete and new French oak for 11 months.

Mayford Tempranillo 2021
$44.00Beautiful wine, and certainly Australia’s benchmark tempranillo. Complex aromatics of cola, liquor cherry, cassis, blueberry, sweet spice, pink peppercorns and compost. Initially, the attack is pure and translucent, before the impact of minerality firms, squeezes and reshape. Some earthy/dusty/ferrous notes, threaded with sweet fruit is irresistible. Mouthwatering and long, the curvy shape snapped to attention […]

Gilbert Sauvignon Blanc 2022
$30.00Succulent, pulpy, deep and concentrated, and still maintaining freshness. Bright and vivid flavours of ripe citrus, passionfruit, blackcurrant, yellow peach, apricot, grapefruit and rockmelon. Weight and texture, you really feel like you’re getting something substantial and despite having all the hallmarks of the varietal, utterly delicious for those who preference something else. One of the […]

Bubb and Pooley Syrah 2022
$62.00Not the darkest Syrah/Shiraz I’ve ever seen, perhaps more evidence of Tasmania’s ambition and difference with their mainland counterparts. Stunning aromatics of Hoisin, Chinese Five Spice, blackberry, cassis, rhubarb, sweet raspberry, lavender soap, fennel and camphor. Pure and translucent, sensual and slick. Concentrated, elegant and mineral. Snaking shape, threading flavour and texture together. Spice flecked […]

Vanguardist Rose 2024
$38.00“From the Rende vineyard, the heartbeat of the Vanguardist wines, in Blewitt Springs. Michael Corbett takes all his wines very seriously, and that’s no different for rosé, with his estimate predicating a decade’s cellar life. It’s certainly got the flavour depth, texture and a smartly pithy draw of grip to support the notion. An assertive […]

La Petite Mort VMR Qvevri 2022

The Viognier gives fruit and perfume while the Marsanne lends it’s waxy texture and the Roussanne gives a hint of savouriness. Bottled un-fined and un-filtered. A unique, […]

Iggy Adelaide Hills Rebula 2023
$45.00Ribolla Giolla in Italian, and certainly made as a homage to Friuli. From a cooler part of the Adelaide Hills, a triangle of 300 vines at the bottom of a slope otherwise planted to Syrah. 40% on skins for 2 months, yet there is nothing orange or skinsy about this. Generous and succulent with yellow […]

Swinney Syrah 2023
$44.00A feature of Swinney’s estate wines is their openness; they drink beautifully from the moment it’s in your glass. Floral, blue, black, red fruits, Chinese five spice and fresh compost notes. Medium bodied, but it feels richer, due to the plushness of the fruit, interwoven acid and beautifully shaping tannins of cashmere. As always, in […]

Patrick Sullivan Bull Swamp Chardonnay 2023
$85.00The bold and the beautiful. Sexy aromatics of spring jasmine, sunflower, pumpkin seed, citrus peel, breadcrumbs and mixed spice. So chardonnay, yet quixotic. Tense and coiled, with a ridge of green apple, flavours tumbling either side. White peach, nectarine, ruby grapefruit, mandarin, preserved citrus and tabouli. A tension of opposites, reserved for only the world’s […]

Gentle Folk Village Grenache 2022
$45.00An incredible infusion of red fruits, potpourri, savoury and sweet spice. Medium bodied, in a way, as the palate seems to add greater depth and size. Rich and flavoursome, slick and silky with a lovely squeeze of tannin on the close. Elegant, pretty and more serpentine than most McLaren Vale Grenache’s, pinot-esque and fine boned […]

Polperro Coverdale Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00The first release of the Coverdale vineyard, planted in 2010 on volcanic red clay in a natural amphitheatre. Cool and exposed of course ala Polperro, and like Talland Hill, a touch more rugged and dark fruited. Sweet spices, dark fruits, brambly fruits, cola and clove. Rich and succulent, the gummy tannins prominent, mouth-watering and mineral. […]
