Dirty Three The Dirty Rizza Riesling 2024
$38.00Off-dry riesling at it’s very best, and the first that I’ve had from Gippsland. A ‘feinherb’ in style, so only about 10 g/l of sugar, so the alcohol is low also, at 10.8%. Gorgeous aromatics of spring jasmine, quince, flint, preserved lime, lemon, green apple and gentle spice. Pure and refreshing, energetic, ravishing yet precise, […]

Chateau de Cerons Grave Rouge 2020
$46.00One of the greatest ever vintages in Bordeaux, Chateau de Cerons has judged the conditions beautifully. Aromatic with notes of flowers, a compote of black, red and bramble fruits, baking spice, wood notes and tobacco. Composed and fluid, a sort of firm elegance. The palate’s fruit is more red and tangy. Medium bodied, energetic and […]

Fighting Gully Road La Longa Sangiovese 2019
$63.00Australia’s answer to Brunello di Montalcino. For what it’s worth, there isn’t a wine coming out of Brunello of any description at this price that’s anywhere near as good. Spending 36 months in large format oak, yet it’s still incredibly bright, the colour fresh and the aromatics, incredible. Tarry, black cherries, red currants, plums, violets, […]

Alex Moreau Passetoutgrain 2022
$74.00“A ripe and peppery nose of black cherry leads to rich, seductive and caressing flavors that possess a juicy mouthfeel that contrasts with the mildly rustic and sneaky long finish. To enjoy young for its fresh fruit and refreshing character. Drink 2025+” 86-88points – Allen Meadows, burghound.com – Apr 2024 “The 2022 Bourgogne Passetoutgrains is a blend […]

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 […]

Chateau Pato Vintage Port 2011 (500ml)
$40.002011 was a great vintage for Hunter Valley reds, Louise and I still have plenty of both colours in our cellar. We have also had this wine many times of the years and it has stayed remarkably youthful and vigorous, never loosing it’s luxuriant fruit and etched curves. Shiraz fruit to the fore, all blackcurrant, […]

Haddow and Dineen Sehnsucht Riesling 2024
$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, […]

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Caillerets’ 2022
$305.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 1er Cru has a captivating bouquet with yellow plum, lemon thyme, jasmine and crushed rock. Very well-defined, it articulates its terroir with real aplomb. The palate is taut and focused, lightly spiced on the entry and almost peppery compared to the other Premier Crus from Morey, fanning out wonderfully with real brio […]

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Vergers’ 2022
$305.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru was reductive on the nose when I tasted the barrel sample, but that will be addressed by bottling time. There appears to be very good intensity here, and with time, there is an unexpected touch of Shiso leaf. The palate is well-balanced and poised, gently building towards an intense […]

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 2022

Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc 2022
$105.00“The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc offers bright orchard fruit, particularly orange blossom, on the nose that will be difficult to resist in its youth. The palate is rounded with a smooth texture, lightly spiced with a dab of lemongrass perking up the finish. Delightful regional white Burgundy.” 87 points – Neal Martin, Vinous.com Click here for […]

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 […]

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz 2023
$85.00Don’t be misled by cliches about the size and style of the Jasper Hill wines. Big though they are, they are fresh and balanced, with lovely natural acidity and waves of fruit and tannin. “Controlled full on”. Ferrous and autumnal notes reside with dark cherry, chocolate, lavender, potpourri, leather, polished wood and a compote of […]

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Nebbiolo 2023
$70.00From 1993 plantings in Georgia’s Paddock. A tiny production wine of great singularity and classicism, it’s hard to imagine such a fine nebbiolo coming from such an inhospitable a place as Heathcote. Fragrant with a compote of red fruits and sweet and savoury spice. Intense, with a wonderful attack of tannin, fruit and acid. The […]

Domaine Tempier Bandol La Tourtine 2022
$190.00This wine is made from grapes grown on a terroir near the village of Le Castellet. The vineyard sits high up on the hillside, on average 170m above sea level, and has relatively homogenous soil comprised of chalk and clay on top of 100 million year old rock.

Domaine Tempier Bandol La Migoua 2022
$190.00The La Migoua area is renowned for its geological features and is often studied for its complex sediment patterns. The outcrops of rocks found in this area date back much further than those in the rest of the Bandol winegrowing area. The effect of one tectonic plate sinking beneath another (subduction) can actually be observed […]

Bernard Defaix Chablis 2023
$70.00Screwcap. Defaix’s village Chablis is drawn from four parcels of mature, 30-plus-year-old vines situated around Milly and Poinchy on the left bank of the Serein River. The wine ferments spontaneously and ages on fine lees for 10 months in glass-lined tanks. Compared to the wine above, the older vines translate to more character, depth and […]

Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2022

A striking freshness of fruit, Kimmeridge put to good use, with a lovely clean and pure finish. Real delicacy with intensity.” 92 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “A more direct and intense aroma – there’s more […]

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derriere chez Edouard VV Rouge 2022
$305.00This has long been one of Olivier Lamy’s finest reds. It comes from just under a hectare of vines on the lower slope of Derrière chez Edouard, where the soils have more clay and have historically been planted to Pinot. In fact, the vines here are over 50 years old and give very small, ripe and intensely […]

Jane Eyre Shoreham Park Pinot Noir 2023
$95.00From a single vineyard planted in the late ’90s; native-yeast ferment with 20% whole bunches; matured in French oak (10% new) for 10 months. The whole bunch adds a crackling component here, an autumnal rustle, which is suffused with fruit as the wine is buoyed with air, redcurrant and wild red cherry unfurling. Carraway, rhubarb, […]

Pooley Chardonnay 2024
$55.00One of Tasmania’s most consistent producers, Pooley’s estate chardonnay and pinot noir are as excellent as usual in 2024. This sits very much in the contemporary sphere – aged in barrel and concrete for only 6 months before bottling. Incredibly intense and primal, with an energy and vigorousness almost unmatched in Australian wine. Tangy citrus, […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022
$280.00‘Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous and more concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin 2022
$240.00“A more deeply pitched nose reflects aromas of humus-inflected poached plum, cassis and violet that display hints of earth and leather. The supple and succulent yet well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a lovely mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere finish where a touch of wood arises. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and worth […]

Henriques & Henriques Finest Full Rich 5Y0 NV (500ml)

They are predominantly made from Tinta Negra Mole—with 10% to 20% of Sercial, Verdelho or Malvasia depending on the age and style. There is a unique and sophisticated Estufa process used: the wines are slowly allowed to warm to 45ºC before being left to […]
