Sadie Family Swartland Treinspoor 2021
$145.00The 2021 Treinspoor is Sadie’s Tinta Barocca that the man himself likes to Nebbiolo, also opining that it is a wine that needs considerable aging. These vines were planted in 1974, and the blend includes 40% whole clusters. It has a complex, succinctly defined bouquet with melted tar and graphite infused dark berry fruit, a […]

Domaine A Petit A Cabernets 2017
$55.00Out of Stock
St Emillion inspired, but for me, reminiscent of the haunting, autumnal wines of Pessac Leognan. Beautifully complex aromas of blackcurrant, cranberry, mulberry, blackberry, violets, garrigue herbs, tobacco leaf, mint and cocoa. Pure ripe fruit, supple initially, before the sensual squeeze of chewy, tobacco laced tannins. Very complex interplay of savoury and fruit notes with squid […]

MMAD Chenin Blanc 2023

Joshua Cooper Doug’s Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023
$75.00I’m pretty familiar with this wine and its flavour profile and shape, year on year, is very consistent. A little rounder than in the past, and slightly less structured, the tannins lacy. Different from those rough hewn cabernets! Sandalwood, fresh mixed herbs, blueberry and a compote of English summer red fruits. Mouthwatering backend finale, tightening, […]

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$70.00Bright ruby. Opens with a core of pure blackcurrant cabernet fruit together with scents of cedar, violets and a very gentle leafiness. The palate is youthful, refined and persistent and the tannins are silky yet long chained. It all adds up to a wine that, while good now, will age effortlessly over the next eight […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
$69.00No Huldufolk this, which works for me as this is the finest chardonnay to date. 40 per cent new French oak, no malolactic as usual, the fruit soaking up what has to be very expensive wood. Super fragrant, with spring jasmine, pawpaw, fig, quince, white peach, preserved lime, spicy oak, burnt butter and citrus rind. […]

Enderle and Moll Pinot Noir 2020
$60.00Out of Stock
Enderle and Moll’s ‘entry level’ Pinot Noir comes from 30 year old vines planted on sandstone and limestone, Baden’s two dominant soils. In many ways this is the signature wine of the estate, as its shape and style are that which define Enderle and Moll. Pristine and pure notes of red and dark cherries, rhubarb, […]

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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

Joshua Cooper Dash Farm Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$55.00Three gorgeous cabernets this vintage from young Joshua Cooper and what a delight: all distinct with their own personalities expressing site. He says this sits at 450m above sea level on the southern granitic slopes of Mount Alexander (Leanganook) looking back towards the Macedon Ranges, and a late ripening site. Dark, inky and enticing with […]

Place of Changing Winds Larderdark Chardonnay 2022
$165.00Low yields this vintage, which is a bummer, so not much made but great concentration of fruit weight and power the positive outcome. However, just when you think all the spiced stone fruit, citrus, nougat-like lees and cedary oak will add up to a weighty wine, it does an about-face. The acidity kicks in, reining […]

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. […]

Donnhoff Oberhauser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett 2022

Ripe and juicy, but also very elegant and crisp with stunning mineral freshness at the very long pointed finish. Delicious, but also excellent potential. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold. 94 Points, Stuart Pigott […]

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 […]
