Bubb and Pooley Chardonnay 2023
$60.00Fermented and aged in 25% new French oak and spherical concrete for 7 months. High toned aromas of brioche, grapefruit, passionfruit, mango, tangy lime and frangipani. Rich, broad, tense, focused and coiled, the palate marked by incredible intensity and bright acidity. Fresh, vibrant and packed with energy, the broadness across the palate is cut through […]

Chatto Franklinii Pinot Noir 2023
$68.00Out of Stock
The Franklinii is the most delicate, fine-boned china wine from the Chatto range. Wafting and cool, there’s a lot going on, but this is a little less immediate and needs coaxing and a little warming to unfurl. And unfurl it does. Haunting scents of blue, black and red fruits, cured meat, savoury spice and potpourri […]

Vinya Vella Grenache 2022
$65.00Tasted alongside the superb, burly 2021, the differences of vintage plain to see. Beautiful aromas, indeed, more lifted than the 21 with sweet and savoury spices, lavender, violets and a compote of sweet and tangy red, black and briary fruits. Medium to full boded with a lovely poised silken flow, the whole bunch tannin guiding […]

Helm Tumbarumba Riesling 2023
$35.00The citrus and apple blossom of the bouquet and piercing drive of the palate have Germanic overtones as lime and glittering acidity take control of proceedings. A glorious wine at an enticing price. Tumbarumba is a relatively new region for riesling, but is ideally suited. 96 points – James Halliday (The Weekend Australian) […]

CRFT Arranmore Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Out of Stock
Matured seven months in French oak (45% new). A febrile, more tensile expression than its Blefari Vineyard sibling, yet with no sacrifice of flavour, nor any forage into the wilderness of hard reduction. A chiselled nose of white peach, nougatine, cashew and just the right amount of flint. The finish is long and contagious of […]

Juxtaposed Smart Vineyard Grenache 2021
$50.00Spicy, complex florals, red and dark fruits, fresh compost and pipe tobacco. Rich and full bodied, with thoroughly defined curves, dripping with fruit, draped in silk. Like the Wait, there is a lovely tension between the sweet and savoury elements, with curry leaf, bitter chocolate and the silk , morphing into fine, sandy tannins. A […]

By Farr Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2022
$165.00Deeper in colour than the RP, and upon pouring you cannot help but notice how different the two wines are. Savoury Indian spices, dried flowers, fresh compost, Serrano, cherry, rhubarb, plum and a certain amaro quality. Fleshy and pure, texturally complex, from silk to velvet to black tea tannin. Absolutely on another level to almost […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00Out of Stock
From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]

Patrick Sullivan Black Sands Chardonnay 2022
$48.00Out of Stock
Light-medium straw colour; aromas of poached peach, melon skin, a note of freshly sliced almond. Citron also. The wine is broad and concentrated in the front of the mouth, the finish dropping away just a little early, and leaving a faintly bitter echo from phenolics. Possibly some skin ferment? A left-field style, and pretty smart […]

Gentle Folk Ashton Chardonnay 2023
$65.00From a tiny 0.8ha block, the vines rooted in clay, sandstone and quartz. It’s a perfect chardonnay site and as such is the most varied wine in any given vintage. One is never quite sure what to expect, except something wonderful from the team at Gentle Folk. The most expressive of the single vineyards with […]

Gentle Folk Scary Gully Chardonnay 2023
$65.00One of the great Adelaide Hills vineyards – a site that’s cool with rocky, shallow soils. Super vibrant and expressive with nectarine, white peach, grapefruit, smoky/flinty notes and white chocolate. Succulent, fleshy, focused and concentrated. Savoury spice hits you immediately and sits long on the palate, riding the stream of pulpy, silky texture and flow. […]

Timo Mayer Volcanic Syrah 2022
$60.00Syrah isn’t exactly the varietal that comes to mind when you think of the Yarra Valley, but in the past 12 months some of my favourite wines from anywhere have been Yarra Valley Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. More generous than I’d expected, plusher and the whole bunches play their part, but not overly so. […]

Haddow and Dineen Riesling 2022
$40.00Pale straw in the glass with aromas of lemon pith, poached pears and apple pie with underlying hints of pressed white flowers, crushed stone and liminal wafts of lanolin and mountain herbs. Swift and fruit pure on the palate with a gentle phenolic textural sway, subtle blossom top notes and a stony, mineral-laden finish. 94 […]

Polperro Landaviddy Lane Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00Expressive and floral, with violets, geranium, sweet Middle Eastern spice, red fruits and hints of dark. Lovely smooth flow, very even shape of great width and amplitude. Poached plum and red fruits mingle with spice and autumnal notes. Velvet and bright, the acidity apparent from the beginning, framing and shaping the flow. Such movement and […]

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 […]

Tillie J Chardonnay 2023
$42.00The 2023 chardonnay from Tillie J is the best yet, and it’s not just because of a great vintage. There is less of the skin and bones approach, with more richness and mid palate succulence. White flowers, wood spice, fresh and preserved citrus, summer honey and pastry notes. Super intense palate, the flavours and textures […]

Swinney Riesling 2022
$32.00Out of Stock
Gosh, a real step up in intensity from the 2021. Very complex aromatics of salted citrus, lime peel, spring jasmine, grapefruit, orange blossom and spiced apple. Rich and concentrated, extremely powerful, super intense, salty, pithy, textural and precise. Compact and coiled in 2022, requiring a few years to unwind and flesh out. Promises to be […]

Bannockburn De La Terre Pinot Noir 2022
$80.00One of the most stunningly aromatic pinots we’ve tried in a very long time. Drawing you in with star anise, sweet cherry, blackberry, cola, lavender wood, aniseed, sweet raspberry and cassis. Round and open, the aromatics quiet different to what’s found on the palate. Cured meats, mushroom, fresh compost, smoke and baking spices. Savoury tertiary […]

Tyrrell’s Vat 63 Chardonnay Semillon 2019
$55.00Out of Stock
Fabulous. Grilled nuts, cream, white flowers, white peach and grapefruit. For all it’s richness, this is full of energy and tension. Expansive palate, the Semillon cuts through the Chardonnay but provides extra width too. Many people have described this as similar to Chablis, but there is more fruit here and I would drink this over […]

Tim Smith Barossa Grenache 2022
$38.00It’s all about McLaren Vale Grenache at the moment, but the Barossa Valley should not be overlooked and Tim Smith’s iteration is one of the best, if not the best value from the entire valley. Incredible aromatics with a compote of English summer red fruits, blueberry, some blackcurrant. sweet spices and an almost Nebbiolo sensibility […]

Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon 2016
$90.00Sensual and suave, with flavours I haven’t found in a Vat 1 before. Just when I thought I knew what to expect! Preserved lime, fresh lemon, cream, kiwifruit, gardenia and honeysuckle. Subtle and very young. This seems quite open, but I feel this will shut down soon and be the better for it. A wonderful […]

Meadowbank Blanc de Blancs 2018
$85.00I don’t normally like fizzes aged for long periods on lees but this, disgorged after five years, seems to have hit a sweet spot. Still very primary and super intense with pastry notes, butter, apple, almond cream, lavender, honey, grapefruit, lemon, lime, white peach and cinnamon. Fantastic intensity with great vibrancy, the acidity so lively […]

Jasper Hill Occam’s Razor Shiraz 2022

Very dark impenetrable colour, and a very Heathcote nose. Blackberry, dark cherry, glace cherry, chocolate, ferrous notes, fresh compost and savoury spices. Luscious palate, rich and full bodied with an enveloping volume of fruit, fresh cinnamon, vanilla and cigar box. Rich, ripe chocolatey tannins focus the wine’s sheer density and a seam of acid completes […]

Fragrant, with sweet red summer fruits, blackberry, sweet and savoury spice, florals and dark cherry. Beautiful weight, medium-bodied with a lovely fleshy mid palate and firm backbone of tannin. Pure, translucent and savoury, every element harmonised and counter […]

Domaine A Lady A Sauvignon Blanc 2020
$75.00Out of Stock
Australia’s greatest Sauvignon Blanc, irrespective of style. Hedonistic and opulent, presumably full malo and aged in predominantly new French oak. That being said, the nose is incredibly expressive with exotic fruits of pineapple, pawpaw, kiwifruit, white peach and Jersey butter and cinnamon notes. Rich, medium to full bodied, the fruit is so powerful and deep, […]

The palate follows exactly. This is a wonderful wine. it’s consistent in texture, persistent in […]

Adelina Shiraz 2022
$65.00Col McBryde told me that he liked to drink Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo whilst at home and their influence is clear. Expressive with kirsch, lavender, pink peppercorns, cassis, blackberry, cocoa, mint, fresh compost and a ferrous quality not always present in Clare shiraz. Medium bodied and mouthwatering, the fruit picked perfectly ripe. Very pure, deep […]
