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! […]

Joshua Cooper Rose 2024
$38.00A very serious rose, without sacrificing the fun or refreshment factor. It has a lovely luminous colour of copper, and the aromatics are high toned red fruits, Middle Eastern spice, mixed herbs, cream and marzipan. All enveloping, really coating all corners of the mouth. Lithe and fleshy, its curve cut by acidity and faint cashmere […]

Kenny Wine Polish Hill River Riesling 2023
$35.00What I love about this wine is its generosity and juiciness. It’s not just another limey, palate stripping Riesling from the Clare. There’s weight, texture and power and the acidity is not the main feature. Citrus fruits, white flowers, salty and creamy. Curvaceous and precise with gin herbs, bath salts, tangy citrus, orchard fruits filling […]

Adelina Polish Hill River Smith Vineyard Riesling 2023
$33.0095 Points, TWF The Smith Vineyard is organically grown with old vines rooted in grey-brown loam in shale and sandy limestone. Col McBryde told us that it’s “Clare Valley on steroids”, and it is, but it’s also finer than you’d expect from Polish Hill. Savoury spice, fennel and sage, with juicy lime, grapefruit and lemon, […]

Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle 2020
$28.00Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle is in the commune of Macau, next to its more famous neighbor, Margaux. Like Margaux, the soils and environs are similar, as is the varietal mix, in this case 80% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. The wine saw no oak whatsoever, and it’s rich, with delectable freshness and […]

Mercer Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2023
$20.00The best place in Australia, for rich, round, easy going chardonnay is the Hunter Valley. These wines can age too, a couple of bottles of 2003, from a good vineyard will testify. At 21 years of age, both bottles were delicious and had at least another terrific five years. The 23 Mercer is a knockout, […]

Mercer Vermentino 2024
$22.00I think we are going to see more and more Italian varietals in the Hunter Valley, and if you drink this, you can see why. Aromatic and floral, with the Hunter’s signature roundness and mid palate flesh. White peach, lime, fennel and savoury spice, with a sort of pithy, citrus texture. It’s pretty straight forward, […]

Mercer Pinot Grigio 2024
$22.00Pinot Grigio is the perfect session wine, and Aaron Mercer has made a beaut from an organic vineyard in Orange. Tangy and fresh, and like all of his whites, plenty of body and fleshy fruit. To have with food, or to not is the question, either is the answer. Gardenia, lemon, lime, cream and almond […]

Bulman Grenache Rose 2024
$28.00My 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 […]

Chateau du Cedre Heritage 2020
$30.00Such gorgeous aromatics of blackcurrant, lavender, violets, plum and cherry liqueur. Rich, but in no way heavy, fleshy and lithe. There is always such tension and balance with the Cedre wines, and all of this achieved without any additions save a little Sulphur at bottling. Very long close, fresh and lively, the pumice like tannins […]

Stargazer Kura Shiraz Pinot Noir 2023
$45.00The 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 […]

Ministry of Clouds Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2023
$45.00All fruit was handpicked then whole bunch pressed to a mixture of new and old barrels (35% new) with full solids included for wild ferment. Post fermentation, all barrels were topped and remained un-sulphured until we believed the balance of natural acidity and gentle MLF complexity had been achieved. No battonage was undertaken, but maturation […]

Mader Pinot Gris 2023
$45.00Good aromatic lift with peach, apple and exotic tropical fruit characters on the nose and palate. Round and supple in texture, with wonderfully precise flavour. Great concentration and depth with a little residual sweetness in this ripe vintage. The rich texture and cleansing acid balance gives this wine great immediate appeal yet it also has […]

Henriques & Henriques Finest Full Rich 5Y0 NV (500ml)
$40.00Henriques’ entry wines are very handy stand-by bottles for the fridge. 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 […]

Bargemone Aix-en-Provence Rose 2021
$33.00Bright, onion-skin color. Fresh and incisive on the nose, displaying red berry, citrus fruit and floral qualities and subtle mineral and spice flourishes. Juicy and sharply focused, putting forward lithe strawberry, blood orange and honeysuckle flavors that deepen through the back half.

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. Waters Wine Co Rich sticky raisin characteristics, ginger, orange peel […]

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. […]

$42.00100% Cabernet Sauvignon from 1960s planted vines situated in Vine Vale, Barossa Valley. Currently tended to by Wayne Ahrens and Suzie Hilder.
