Pressing Matters R69 Riesling 2022
$42.00Pale green-yellow hue; a lifted perfume of honey, lime and lemon blossoms and the palate is rich and yet super-fine, the sweetness balancing out what is surely quite high acidity. The end result is gorgeous flavour and fruit/sugar/acid balance. The persistent honey note suggests the grapes were fully ripe. The finish is clean and harmonious. […]

Such beautiful texture, an even palate of silken flow. Flow is the word. Such effortless drinking, remarkable when you take into account the sheer presence and volume of flavour. There is a […]

Paul Bara Grand Millesime Brut 2014
$155.00A Champagne of great immediacy, instantly showing itself. The exuberance of pinot noir, with homey, ripe cherry, raspberry, strawberry, violets and mint. Bara’s Champagnes are never too rich, almost always balanced with some zesty chardonnay and the fact that there is never any malolactic fermentation. Rich and vinous with great pinot character, cashew, savoury spice, […]

Gosset Grand Blanc de Blancs NV Brut
$165.00Too many Blanc de Blancs are sour and overtly mineral, making them difficult to enjoy, let alone drink. Gosset as ever manages to assemble a Champagne of completeness, a combination of invigorating freshness and a blanket of texture and fruit. At first subtle, but that doesn’t last as the beautiful aromas of burnt butter, nougat, […]

David Moreau Santenay Beaurepaire 1er Cru 2022
$160.00The 2022 Santenay Beaurepaire ler Cru contains 15% whole bunches, though I would have guessed a little more. Black pepper and pencil box on the nose interlace the black fruit, backward and tight at the moment. The palate is pliant, with fine tannins lending this a silky texture. There is lovely harmony here, poised and […]

David Moreau Santenay Cuvée S 2022
$115.00The 2022 Santenay Cuvée S, named after Moreau‘s grandmother Simone, comes from colluvial soils that tend to suffer millerandage.

David Moreau Meursault Les Pellans 2022
$200.00The 2022 Meursault Les Pellans has a refined and quite understated bouquet, hints of praline infusing the citrus fruit, and touches of beeswax. The palate is well-balanced, with touches of orchard fruit on the entry, matched by a crisp line of acidity. Superb mineralité here; this is a Village Cru punching at the weight of […]

Jean-Paul & Charly Thevenet Morgon Vieilles Vignes 2023

Christian Moreau AC Chablis 2023
$80.00There is ample Chablis typicity to the nicely fresh aromas of citrus, pear and sea breeze. The sense of freshness is enhanced by the vibrant and detailed middle weight flavors that culminate in a lightly stony and appealingly textured finish. This should drink well young but repay mid-term keeping. (88-90)/2027+ Burghound.com , October 2024 […]

Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Beauregard 2022
$145.00The most south-westerly of all the Chablis Premiers Crus, Les Beauregards is one of its coolest due to its altitude and location at the end of Chablis’ Left Bank. It’s also one of the steepest (meaning the clay soils are shallow, and the limestone marl is never far from the surface) and one of the highest, rising […]

Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Muscat NV (500ml)
$25.00Absolutely gorgeous and one of the most complex and singular Muscats coming out of the Rutherglen. Floral, ginger, nougat and sweetened condensed milk. Structured and vibrant, with baking spices, becoming more savoury and firming towards the close. Rippling with tingle and begging for food.

Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Topaque NV (500ml)
$25.00Such a different expression. Topaque’s usually play second fiddle to Muscat, but that should definitely not be the case. Very complex and layered with a lovely tension between the sweet and savoury elements. Florals, honeycomb, salted caramel, grilled nuts, sultanas and savoury spice. It’s somehow lighter than the Muscat, yet shows more vivacity and stuffing. […]

Stanton & Killeen Vintage Fortified 2007
$85.00Australia’s most convincing Vintage Port style wine. Utterly consistent and repeated tastings of back vintages have left me in no doubt. Will they go 50, or a hundred, or more? The last vintage from Chris Killeen and one that will live on for at least another couple of decades. Rich, deep and concentrated, showing great […]

Eastern Peake Original Block Pinot Noir 2022
$125.00Sourced from the estate’s 1983 plantings, with only one barrel produced (a mere 22 dozen released to the public). The linger of flavour here is excellent. This pinot noir puts some runs on the board and then some. It’s an earthen, spicy, cherry-and-strawberry-accented wine, with cedarwood oak, mint and sweetly extravagant herb notes pulsing throughout. […]

Eastern Peake 1989 Block Pinot Noir 2022
$125.00The colour is deep and bright with a strong purple rim and the bouquet is quite marked by char-oak and dark-berry/dark-cherry fruit aromas, bold and bright. The oak gives a distinct smoky, fivespice note throughout the wine, which has a lovely silky mouth-feel and a very long, sustained and seamless carry. Marvellous focus and precision […]

Fritz Haag Riesling Feinherb 2022
$40.00Essentially a feinherb in style, and a terrific introduction to the wines of Fritz Haag. Super complex with grapefruit, cherry, mango and guava. Bright and tangy, linear and direct in profile, flecked with herbs and subtle extract. Super long, the acidity and extract driving the carry and hold over the palate. Classic in style and […]
