Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Chenin Blanc 2023
$32.00Flavours of melon, white peach and almond blossom and a hint of minerality that adds to the elegance of the wine. Masterfully oaked, this wine is textured and creamy on the mid-palate with a lively, crisp finish. This wine can be enjoyed now, but with careful cellaring it should age gracefully over the next 10 […]

Iggy Deda Barossa Valley Roussanne Marsanne 2022
$40.00The second release of this wine for us, the 2022 Deda is a composition of 79% Rousanne and 21% Marsanne. Fuller bodied than the 2021 on account of the greater proportion of Rousanne and warmer vintage conditions. Dark in colour and exotic with yellow peach, pawpaw, winter honey and pear. Rich, mouth-filling and creamy, Igor’s […]

Place of Changing Winds Syrah No. 2 2022
$40.00A blend of Heathcote and Harcourt fruit and supposedly the ‘entry’ level, but if can find a more beautiful and detailed Syrah at this price, let me know. The whole bunch component is high, 70%, and it’s there, with its silken texture, easy flow and sweet spice. Complex compote of hedge and red summer fruits, […]

Granite Hills 1971 Block Riesling 2022
$35.00Intense aromatics of passionfruit, lime, blackcurrant, cherry, stone fruits, honey, mustard and savoury spice. Dense, concentrated, in fact, perhaps the deepest core of power that I have tasted in an Australian Riesling. Expansive palate, direct in flavour, precise scaffold, chalky texture and that width! There is so much hidden here, so much pleasure to come. […]

Thistledown Thorny Devil Grenache 2023
$35.00From several districts, off old, dry-grown bush vines. The ferments are all nuanced, but all are wild, and there is always some whole bunch; maturation for eight months in old French oak. Pale in hue and pretty in fragrance, such is the vintage. Flavours skip through cranberry, wild raspberry, pomegranate and rose, with white pepper […]

A Rodda Baxendale Whitlands Chardonnay 2023
$45.00Highly lifted aromas of red apples and meadow flowers are complexed with secondary characters of flint, spice and wet stone. On the palate, intense minerality combined with fine acidity and lees complexity create a mouthfeel that is velvety and creamy yet focused and intense. Creating a tactile sensation that is long, savoury, and refreshing. Winemaker’s […]

Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Chenin Blanc 2022
$25.00The grapes for this wine come predominantly from selected vineyards in Stellenbosch, Paarl and Swartland. Owing to the nature of bush vines, careful canopy management was exercised so that no bunches were exposed to excessive sunlight and that an even ripening of the grapes was ensured. The 2022 harvest started very late due to covld […]

Even Keel Tumbarumba Chardonnay 2022
$40.00Out of Stock
A classic Tumbarumba chardonnay, and you can taste why fruit from here is making some of Australia’s best. Classis notes of stone and citrus fruits, star jasmine, grilled nuts and reductive notes. Terrific intensity and great drive, with a lovely fleshy mid palate, rounding and softening the superstructure of citrus laden acidity. A thoroughly complete […]

Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, granite, blueberry, strawberry and fresh compost. Rich and succulent, round in shape and tightened by tangy fruits and powdery tannins. […]

Tyrrell’s Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2022
$25.00Tyrrell’s Hunter Valley Chardonnay has a lovely mix of citrus, white stone fruit and notes of star jasmine, with some oak spice on the nose. Medium bodied palate with great fruit intensity and texture. 2021 is a terrific vintage in the Hunter and this is surely the best value Chardonnay in the Valley! Waters Wine […]

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Rose 2024

Bondar Junto GSM 2023
$30.00One of my favourite Bondar wines. We had a 2022 a year after release and it was gorgeous, better after a year in bottle. Vibrant from start to finish with pure black, red and blue fruits, dried flowers and mixed herbs. Curvy, full flavoured and downright easy to drink, with lithe tannins and gentle acidity. […]

Rob Hall Cabernets 2023
$30.00Rob knows a thing or two about cabernet, most likely, I’m guessing, from his days at Mount Mary. A brilliant, crimson purple, this fragrant wine leaps out of the glass with its bouquet of cassis, liqueur cherries, cedar, violets and just a soupçon of fresh tomato leaf. Medium bodied, this juicy-fruited wine is impeccably balanced […]

Spinifex Syrah 2021
$30.00Out of Stock
Syrah from a selection of vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys, judicious use of whole clusters, matured on light lees in a combination of large-format vessels for around 8 months prior to bottling. Deep purple red in the glass, it’s a rollicking, crunchy, bright and sapid ride with a gorgeous plume of plummy fruit, […]

Hand harvested, whole bunch pressed, fermented with yeast to dryness minimal time on yeast lees. Fermented in stainless steel. A very classic take on riesling from the Valley in a warmer year.

Dr Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2021
$40.00Out of Stock
The Sundial vineyard in Wehlen is almost nothing but broken shards of blue Devonian slate. 100% Riesling from vines over 60 years old on average. Cool fermentation in a combination of stainless steel tanks and Fuder barrels, half fermented with natural yeasts, half with cultured yeasts. The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett was made […]

ChaLou Pinot Noir 2023
$38.00A fantastic pinot noir from Orange. Terrific complexity with hedge fruits, liqueur cherry, poached plum and blueberry. There is a lot of detail, with layers of flavour and texture. Interwoven notes of Amaro, savoury spice and fresh compost. Plenty of flesh on the mid palate, the fruit becoming sweeter and more pure as the wine […]

Bondar Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2023
$38.00Intense aromatics of grapefruit, fresh and preserved lime, lemon, cashew, cream, wood, citrus blossom and spice. Rich and medium bodied, a wine of energy angles and cut. There’s a little more mid palate flesh than in previous iterations, and I’m not sure if it marks a shift in style or is a reflection of the […]

Battles Shiraz 2022
$35.00Clean and vibrant, lifted aromatics are one of the hallmarks of this Shiraz. Pretty florals of purple flowers and violets are underpinned by blackberry and red cherry fruit. The 2022 Battles Shiraz palate is full bodied with a deep core of dark fruits and a persistent tannin structure, which helps the wine draw long, with […]

Thomas Synergy Shiraz 2021
$25.00The selection of the wines going under this label is achieved by blending a large number of barrels that didn’t have the quality needed for Single Vineyard status. It’s a most attractive wine in the lighter end of medium bodied. It won the Trophy for Best One-Year-Old Shiraz at the Hunter Valley Wine Show ’22, […]

CRFT Rohrlach Vineyard Mencia 2022

The palate is plush and round, loaded with juicy sweet fruit, it lingers with notes of vanilla and boysenberry. Organically grown and made (uncertified), this is the first release of CRFT’s new Rohrlach Vineyard Mencía. A vibrant, fresh, early-drinking style, this […]

Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2022
$38.00Usually my favourite wine in the range and one for those in any doubt about the efficacy of blends. A 60/40 blend of Grenache and Shiraz. Essentially a barrel selection of the juiciest and brightest fruit for early drinking, but this will nevertheless cruise through 10 years and plenty more. Expressive, so McLaren Vale with […]

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00A bright crimson red. After a few good few swirls, aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries, wild herbs and some crushed violets soon emerge. The palate, though, doesn’t need much coaxing, and this silken, sappy wine has excellent depth and persistence. Will be even better six to 12 months from now. 96 points – Philip […]

Gilbert Sauvignon Blanc 2022
$30.00Succulent, pulpy, deep and concentrated, and still maintaining freshness. Bright and vivid flavours of ripe citrus, passionfruit, blackcurrant, yellow peach, apricot, grapefruit and rockmelon. Weight and texture, you really feel like you’re getting something substantial and despite having all the hallmarks of the varietal, utterly delicious for those who preference something else. One of the […]

Domaine de Ferrand Cotes du Rhone La Ferrande 2021
$40.00Philippe Bravay’s domaine is tiny (only 5.5 hectares) and the vines are situated around the outskirts of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP, in the lieu-dit Ferrand. His neighbours in this Northern fringe near Orange are Charvin, Marcoux and Beaucastel. La Ferrande is 100% Syrah, a grape that Philippe is intrigued by and so decided to […]

Frederick Stevenson Grenache 2022
$36.00Awesome Barossa grenache, so different from almost all other iterations. Compote of sweet red fruits, orange peel, compost, alpine herbs and sweet spice. Curvy, full of energy and with a sense of lightness despite the rich flavours. Firm, squeezed tannins, savoury, providing lovely tension to the sweet fruit. Waters Wine Co 94 Points – […]

Domenica Rose 2023
$32.00Domenica Rosé is built from select parcels of fruit fermented in neutral barrels shaping a complex wine worthy of attention. It has been featured by The WineFront and Halliday magazine as one of Australia’s leading rosé wines.

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 […]

Walsh & Sons Hamish Chardonnay 2022

Swinney Grenache 2021
$42.00A higher level of refinement has crept into the 2021’s, compared to the sleek, puckering wines of 2020. Pretty aromatics of jubey red fruits, tangy hedge fruits and brooding black fruits. Pure, flecked with flowers, ironstone and spice. The fruits are very complex, light and dark, sweet and tangy. The shape and mouthfeel are gentler, […]
