Iggy H&C Eden Valley Syrah 2021
$75.00From 2 vineyards in 2021, after to a “miscommunication” with another vigneron left Iggy stranded without even a barrel worth of fruit. A vintage that has yielded many great wines, and the H&C is the first wine he has made with 100% whole bunch. Igor used the time old method of tasting the stalks, before […]

David Moreau Santenay Beauregard 1er Cru 2022
$160.00The 2022 Santenay Beauregard ler Cru comes from vines located at a higher altitude, above the windmill overlooking the namesake village on clayey marn soils. This feels quite complex, with raspberry, blackberry and briar scents on the nose and a touch of white pepper and licorice (Moreau dubs it his “little Syrah”). The medium-bodied palate […]

Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre 2022

Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Forets 2022
$145.00Diam. Stéphane Moreau used to call Forêts “one of the greatest terroirs of Chablis”. It’s a historical sub-plot within the 1er Cru Montmains, high up the slope and facing southeast. It can undoubtedly produce Chablis of the highest order, as both Dauvissat and Moreau have shown many times (Raveneau also has a small parcel). Moreau farms two plots of vines here, with a total […]

Origines New England Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A beautifully composed chardonnay from a very cool site at Topper’s Mountain in the NSW New England region. The tyranny of distance has made the development of the region slow, but if you are any doubt, you need to taste this. Jan Taborsky of Origines wines told me that the vineyard had never experienced 40 […]

Craiglee Shiraz 2019
$60.00Firm classic Craiglee, a style that hasn’t wavered for at least the past 20 years. Blackberry, mulberry, cherry, blackcurrant, baking spices, tobacco, cigar box and bay leaf. Firm and savoury, still very young at this stage – you can smell, feel and taste the tannins. A nod to the great reds of Valpolicella, sweet, savoury, […]

Tense, silky, interwoven fruit with savoury elements, and complex tannins. Vibrant, buoyant and deep, a wine of layers and great detail. Huge potential. Waters Wine Co […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2022
$170.00Still very youthful on the nose, this is crammed with ripe peach, plus more delicate notes of pineapple and mangosteen. It’s a minor miracle that this kind of concentration can be packed into such a sleek, medium-bodied palate. What an amazing mouthfeel this has thanks to the seamless integration of slatey acidity and ripeness. Very […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2022
$155.00“This very concentrated and super-elegant riesling Auslese is still tightly-wound. However, it already has a very wide spectrum of subtle yellow fruit and wild flower aromas. Terrific structure behind the rich, but still medium-bodied palate. Incredibly long, slatey finish with staggering freshness that pulls you back for more of this Mosel masterpiece. Drinkable now, but […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2022
$144.00“Here’s a very classic Mosel Spatlese with exactly the combination of richness, elegance and delicacy that makes this category unique. Such delicate white peach and sliced pear, rose and honeysuckle aromas. Very long finish that is as succulent as it is refined. You just want to linger there for as long as you can. Drink […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2022
$130.00“Here is a great Mosel Kabinett that needs a bit more time to show what it is really made of. Still very young with a pronounced yeasty character that slowly recedes with aeration, but the white peach and honeysuckle aromas that emerge are stunning. Extremely vibrant and precise, the slatey acidity making this fabulously graceful. […]

Kenny Wine Polish Hill River Riesling 2023
$35.00What I love about this wine is its generosity and juiciness. It’s not just another limey, palate stripping Riesling from the Clare. There’s weight, texture and power and the acidity is not the main feature. Citrus fruits, white flowers, salty and creamy. Curvaceous and precise with gin herbs, bath salts, tangy citrus, orchard fruits filling […]

Jean-Paul and Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2022
$150.00This is quite smoky in character with its nose of citrus confit, pear, apple and ocean breeze scents. The generously proportioned but quite punchy medium-bodied flavours possess a lovely texture while exuding evident minerality on the sappy, balanced, complex and solidly persistent finale. 90-93 points – Burghound Click here for our full range of […]

CRFT Blefari Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Hand picked and wild fermented in tank before transfer to oak on full solids (35% new) where it remained for seven months. Very fine, as much by virtue of its relaxed mid-weighted gait, as its tension. Yet this is tension imparted by an intuitive hand, an innate comprehension that any effete obsession with pH and […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Junction Village Pinot Noir 2022
$65.00Dark fruits and rounder in shape than the other village wines. Blackberry, cassis, blueberry, cherry and Christmas spice. The sweet fruit is counterbalanced by savoury notes of clove, cured meats and bay leaf. Terrific depth and energy, remarkable how such an effortless drinking wine can have so much tension, personality and structure. Waters Wine Co […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese GOLDKAPSEL Museum Release 2011
$330.00Candied, spiced apple and overripe Persian melon dominate the Prum 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese gold capsule, with honeyed impingement both aromatically and on the palate reinforcing the sense of relative opacity and rounded richness that the other Graachers in this year’s collection displayed. Here the sense of delicacy is nearly weightless; intriguing and enticing […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2021 (375ml)
$100.00“The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is concentrated and fresh on the aromatic nose that is immediately present but also still reductive. Ripe stone fruit aromas intermingle with notes of crushed stones on a deep foundation of aromas from the soil and the fruit of old vines. On the palate, the 2021 is very fine but […]

La Soufrandière Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 2021
$130.00“Here more concentration and ripeness of citrus, not quite exotic but more in this direction. Yet the palate remains clean, direct and intense – just far too drinkable. Broad and intense as the last notes only slowly start to fade – what another excellent wine!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “The 2021 Pouilly-Vinzelles Climat Les Longeays has […]

Weiser-Kunstler Trabener Gaispfad Riesling 2018
$85.00Generally preferring sweeter styled Mosel wines, it’s always a thrill to love the unexpected. Immensely complex, deep and brooding with aromas of gooseberry, kiwi, lime, ruby grapefruit, spring jasmine smoke and earth. Absorbing and immense, it’s hard to grasp the sheer depth and breadth of this wine, yet without heaviness or unnecessary structure. Silkily textured, […]

$110.00Luminance is crafted from vines with an average age of 50 years. Planted in Kimmeridgian limestone with an active lime content of over 70%. A high active lime content is a feature of the region, but at this level, the vines must work very hard indeed for nutrients and water. The vineyard is terraced, steep […]

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020

“Pale lemon colour. A smoky reduction which is far from unpleasant. The fruit starts to come out, indeed offering excellent depth of fruit, some yellow plums but still fresh, plenty of weight behind and good length.” 91-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts has a crisp, precise, gunflint-tinged bouquet […]

Enveloping with red fruits, the most in this lineup, blackberry, mulberry, chocolate, vanilla, fennel and wood char. Round in shape, fleshy and driven with lively acidity and lacey, chalky tannins.

Henri Germain Savigny Les Beaune 1er Cru Aux Gravains Rouge 2022

Balanced acidity.” 89-92 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Gravins 1er Cru has an exquisite and pure […]

Tripe Iscariot Wilyabrup Chenin Blanc 2023
$30.00It’s racy and juicy, with more upfront acidity and drive than its Karridale sibling, which is a much more textural wine. Super spicy with fresh and preserved lemons, lime zest, lemon sorbet acidity and neat phenolics adding shape as much as a smidgen of texture. Mouth-watering and vibrant; just another cracking chenin blanc from a […]

$45.00Always a lovely wine to taste, opening with pear, melon, citrus blossom, spring jasmine, lime, ripe lemon and subtle buttery/pastry notes. A wine of dimensions, the textural element a caress, but it also enables the wine to hold and enfold your palate. Juicy and unctuous, there is, however, an overwhelming sense of control and precision, […]
