Eleni & Edouard Vocoret Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot 2021
$115.00“The 2021 Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot comes across quite closed on the nose, though Edouard Vocoret mentioned how this cuvée has closed down at the time of my visit. The palate is complex with touches of apricot and white peach, plenty of minerals and flint, focused with a long tail on the finish. This […]

Joshua Cooper Doug’s Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023
$75.00Out of Stock
I’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, […]

Schafer-Frohlich Felseneck Riesling GG 2022
$210.0098 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): “What amazing harmony this Nahe riesling GG has in spite of the vibrancy of its very racy acidity.

Bulman Glen’s Vineyard Grenache 2023
$72.00Out of Stock
Wild cherry, redcurrant, dusty white peppercorns, tamarind, orange peel, bitter herbs and a rugged mineral line rendered refined, evoking graphite, iron and struck rock, the drive of calmly resolute tannin sheathed elegantly with silky fruit, giving this an effortless feel, an engaging ease. That takes nothing away from the seriousness, though. It’s pinnacle Barossa grenache.. […]

Bulman Gary’s Vineyard Grenache 2023
$72.00Out of Stock
It’s a complex thing, with air unlocking layer after layer of detail.

Reed Frequency Botrytis Riesling 2023 (375ml)
$55.00Out of Stock
The wine is poured from across the room, our kitchen to be exact, with the kids running around, the detritus of a busy family home everywhere. And yet, I am utterly fixated on the aromas teasing my attention. A wine of pure natural power, decadence and sensual complexity to take your mind from the busyness […]

Round […]
