Iggy Adelaide Hills Rebula 2023
$45.00Ribolla Giolla in Italian, and certainly made as a homage to Friuli. From a cooler part of the Adelaide Hills, a triangle of 300 vines at the bottom of a slope otherwise planted to Syrah. 40% on skins for 2 months, yet there is nothing orange or skinsy about this. Generous and succulent with yellow […]

Rob Hall Chardonnay 2023
$30.00A blend of two vineyards. Willowlake (cooler southern end of the valley), and my folks vineyard (south of Healesville). Predominantly fermented in older French hogsheads (300L). There’s flavours of curd and fresh cream, white peach and citrus. It’s leesy and fresh, but with nice weight on the palate. Winemaker’s Notes

Lovely, easy drinking Chinon. Waters Wine Co The 2021 Chinon from Château de Coulaine is young, juicy and fresh. It has supple creamy red fruit flavours, a […]

Ca Matta Valpolicella Classico 2020
$35.00If I had to show a Valpolicella, a bottle that was a classic and typical example of the region, then it would have to be from Ca Matta. A classic blend of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara e Rebo and at only 12.5% alcohol, this looks tastes and feels like times past. Violets, […]

Tillie J Aligote 2024
$40.00Aligote has become trendy, presumably because in Burgundy at least, it’s hard to tell the difference with chardonnay and they are invariably cheaper. Ironically, I find it’s more varietal in Australia, being more linear than chardonnay and fine boned. Tillie J’s is remarkable, a shock really, it’s just so damn good and so damn cheap! […]

Bulman Grenache Rose 2024
$28.00Out of Stock
My absolute favourite grenache producer in Australia, demolishing all cliches and stereotypes of South Australian grenache and red wines in general. It’s hard to believe that he (Mark Bulman) used to make Turkey Flat rose, the wines are so different. Pale in colour, refreshing, crisp and dry. Red summer fruits, sweet and tangy, with a […]

Jasper Hill Lo Stesso Fiano 2024

From estate grown and purchased fruit, Jasper Hill’s Lo Stesso fiano is one of the country’s best. White flowers, pawpaw, creamy and spicey aromatics. Displays all the versatility of fiano, with a lovely pumice-like texture, juicy white and yellow peach, rhubarb, fig, quince and cardamon. Beautifully balanced, a harmonised seam of acidity freshens, brightens and […]

Stargazer Riesling 2024
$38.00The Shiraz for this first release of the Kura Shiraz/Pinot Noir blend is sourced from a vineyard in the Tamar Valley as well as a vineyard just outside of Richmond in the Coal River Valley, the former a combination of 1654 and Tahbilk clones, and the latter the PT23 clone planted on a north facing […]

Tripe Iscariot Karridale Chenin Blanc 2023
$30.00The previous vintage put this and its Wilyabrup sibling under the Absolution range, but that name’s been removed from both now – more about the subregion and variety perhaps. Trying the two site-specific chenin blancs side by side offers great insights: this more textural, a bit waxy with pear skins and baked apple, a little […]

ChaLou Riesling 2023
$35.00An awesome riesling, the 18gms of residual ensuring balance and a wider range of flavours. Blood orange, grapefruit, white flowers, cherry, blackcurrant and mint. Some pressings have been used, and it’s a winemaking masterstroke, lending the wine a subtle texture. Pure, translucent and very intense, rippling with energy, verve and character. One of Orange’s finest […]

Eastern Peake Griffins Road Pinot Noir 2022

High toned aromatics of sweet and tangy red fruits, savoury spice and sandalwood. The intensity of fruit is mind boggling when you consider the wine’s prettiness and elegance. Pure and mineral, with Serrano and a Amaro/blood orange note on the back palate. Linear in shape, the fruit, tannin and acid finely woven together, harmonising beautifully […]

This blend benefits from a number of aspects and clones from some great vineyards in the Hills.

Racked to a mixture of French and […]

Reed White Heart Riesling 2023
$36.00A remarkable feinherb style. Tangy, tense and lithe with very high levels of natural acidity balanced by gentle sweetness. Flesh and zest of lime, grapefruit, white flowers, lemon, cumquat and tangerine. The acidity and salty minerality lend a sort of chisel and muscularity. This is certainly approachable now, but ideally better in a year or […]

Helm Tumbarumba Riesling 2023
$35.00The citrus and apple blossom of the bouquet and piercing drive of the palate have Germanic overtones as lime and glittering acidity take control of proceedings. A glorious wine at an enticing price. Tumbarumba is a relatively new region for riesling, but is ideally suited. 96 points – James Halliday (The Weekend Australian) […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00Out of Stock
From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]

Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc 2024
$35.00The grapes are hand picked with great care and chilled overnight in a cold room. The following day they are whole-bunch pressed to a settling tank. These vineyards were picked over a period of 12 days and each day fresh juice was added to the already fermenting tanks. This extended the alcoholic fermentation by about […]

Vanguardist Rose 2024
$38.00“From the Rende vineyard, the heartbeat of the Vanguardist wines, in Blewitt Springs. Michael Corbett takes all his wines very seriously, and that’s no different for rosé, with his estimate predicating a decade’s cellar life. It’s certainly got the flavour depth, texture and a smartly pithy draw of grip to support the notion. An assertive […]

Swinney Riesling 2022
$32.00Out of Stock
Gosh, a real step up in intensity from the 2021. Very complex aromatics of salted citrus, lime peel, spring jasmine, grapefruit, orange blossom and spiced apple. Rich and concentrated, extremely powerful, super intense, salty, pithy, textural and precise. Compact and coiled in 2022, requiring a few years to unwind and flesh out. Promises to be […]

Te Mata Estate Chardonnay 2022
$30.00Vibrant white-gold, Estate Chardonnay ’22 dazzles with bright lemon blossom and concentrated white peach. On the palate, all the ripe Hawke’s Bay stone fruit on offer softens to mascarpone and macadamia, with barrel-ferment notes of toast, biscuit and woodsmoke. The lingering finish of Estate Chardonnay ’22 is fine and dry, marrying the wine’s fresh fruit […]

Tim Smith Barossa Grenache 2022
$38.00It’s all about McLaren Vale Grenache at the moment, but the Barossa Valley should not be overlooked and Tim Smith’s iteration is one of the best, if not the best value from the entire valley. Incredible aromatics with a compote of English summer red fruits, blueberry, some blackcurrant. sweet spices and an almost Nebbiolo sensibility […]

Seehof Morstein Riesling Kabinett 2022
$40.00Sourced from one of the top, limestone-laden vineyards in Rheinhessen, Seehof’s Morstein is fine, dry Riesling. Shimmering a striking golden yellow, the nose benefits from a bit of breathing time to show its full potential of lime blossom, sage, candied ginger, and petrol tones. On the palate, this Morstein is dark and brooding, but balanced […]

Adelina Shiraz 2022
$65.00Col McBryde told me that he liked to drink Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo whilst at home and their influence is clear. Expressive with kirsch, lavender, pink peppercorns, cassis, blackberry, cocoa, mint, fresh compost and a ferrous quality not always present in Clare shiraz. Medium bodied and mouthwatering, the fruit picked perfectly ripe. Very pure, deep […]

Bondar Monastrell 2022
$34.00Out of Stock
Bondar’s Monastrell (Mourvedre) is a limited release (only 100 dozen are made). It comes from fruit off the Lacey vineyard in Willunga, where rocky clay loam soils lie over the revered Kurrajong geology formation. The 15-year-old vines here are farmed with minimal inputs, and the winemaking follows a similar path, with hand-picking, no additions, and […]

Ministry of Clouds Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2022
$40.00Very much in the contemporary mould of Australian chardonnay, the emphasis on freshness and intensity. Citrus, orchard fruits and white flowers, framed by expensive French oak. Coiled and compact with fleshy fruits, white flowers and savoury spice. Precise, linear and very intense. This would benefit from a few years in the cellar. Waters Wine Co […]

Gilbert Pinot Noir 2023
$32.00So often too lean or too worked, Orange pinot noir has hit a sweet spot with Gilbert’s 2023. Pretty and floral, with savoury spices, hedge fruits, and tangy rhubarb, plum and English strawberry. Packed with flavour, mineral; lithe and sleek. It’s not silky, there’s too much texture, and for all its lightness, there’s plenty of […]

$25.00A blend of Orange and Hunter Valley fruit, this is so delicious, it makes you wonder why we don’t do more multi regional blending.
