Lelie van Saron Syrah 2020
$60.00A remarkable wine, particularly when you consider the vineyard is barely 20 years old. You don’t need old vines to make great wines, but you do need a great site, and the Bos vineyard in the cool climes of Upper Hemel-en-Aarde is incredible. The soils are of weathered granite, no doubt a defining feature for […]

Lelie van Saron Chardonnay 2021
$60.00Alcohol levels have been creeping up for years, yet the 2021 Lelie van Saron still only weighs in at 12.8%. Reminds me of Burgundy 20 years ago. Astonishingly focused, aromatic, intense, precise, powerful and decadent. Decadent is a dirty word in wine nowadays, but let’s be honest; great chardonnay is extravagant. From a vineyard in […]

Origines New England Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A beautifully composed chardonnay from a very cool site at Topper’s Mountain in the NSW New England region. The tyranny of distance has made the development of the region slow, but if you are any doubt, you need to taste this. Jan Taborsky of Origines wines told me that the vineyard had never experienced 40 […]

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 […]

J&S Fielke Shiraz 2024
$40.00From grapes off Inkwell’s organic vineyard in Tatachilla, McLaren Vale and their entry for the 2024 Hacking The Future of Shiraz Project. This is such a McLaren Vale expression, full of brambly fruits, blueberry and chocolate. Carbonically macerated for 14 days prior to a natural fermentation and hand plunged daily for a month. Elevage took […]

Joshua Cooper Claret 2024
$38.00I am forever surprised at the lack of support for Cabernet Sauvignon and cabernet blends, particularly when I am lucky enough to sample Josh Coopers wonderful wines. Not as edgy or angular as his later released wines, this nonetheless has some wonderful rough hewn tannins and a back lift of bright acidity. Blackcurrant, plum, cherry, […]

As always, absolutely no additions except some sulphur at bottling. Aged for 18 months in large format oak and 500L barrels, none new. Very complex wine, the aromatics are […]

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 […]

Dappled Single Vineyard Fin de la Terre Syrah 2023
$50.00Sourced from the Peirce Family vineyard in Steels Creek at the base of the Kinglake range. It’s a warm site with hungry mudstone and shale soils with a granitic bedrock base and some scattered quartz. The vines are own rooted and planted in 1990 – so now 34 years old! A very late pick and […]

Medium bodied and incredibly complex for a wine at this price. Citrus and stone fruits, ginger, mint, preserved citrus, honeysuckle, melon and textural richness. The sweetness perfectly judged and balanced by tangy minerality. Waters Wine […]
