Domaine Barmes-Buecher Riesling Clos Sand Lieux Dits 2019
$85.00Essentially a monopole of the estate, with new high density plantings. A high, cool vineyard of granite, very steep and surrounded by woodland. The sparse and rocky soils a pivot point towards finesse, and although the wines are rich, full bodied and shapely, they are slightly more discreet, elegant, linear and fine. Brioche notes, […]

Eva Fricke Lorcher Riesling Trocken 2020
$80.00Out of Stock
Perhaps the most classic and aristocratic wine in this line up and a defining wine of the vintage. Intense, powerful, with great clarity of flavour, focus and precision. Citrus, white peach, a touch of peach skin for texture, minerals, tarragon and salt. Tingly and throbbing, huge energy and breadth and the overwhelming impression of hidden […]

Tyrrell’s Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet 2019
$85.00From the first whiff the Vat 8 waves the flag of Tyrrell’s and the Hunter Valley. Cola, blackcurrant, blackberry, cinnamon, coffee, milk chocolate, clove and violets. Full bodied, plush and lifted by Christmas cake spice and crunchy red fruits. Luxurious and round, with ripe tannins and soft acids. The most digestible Vat 8 of recent […]

Rall Grenache Blanc 2019
$50.00Out of Stock
The nose shows a little reduction before lemon, naartjie (mandarin), stone fruit, cut apple and a little nuttiness. Rich and broad with seemingly quite moderate acidity, round without being too leesy, this is a more generous vintage than usual. 92 Points – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za The grapes for this wine come from dry-farmed bush vines […]

Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2019
$590.00Pale lemon. A leaner stricter nose after the comparative opulence of Sécher. Then gorgeous ripe lemon zest, flavours, which fill the mouth then refine to a clean pure long finish. Deep limestone marls here retained enough humidity. Very long, very classic, great wine. 95 Points – Jasper Morris The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is one […]

Henri Germain Meursault Limozin 2019
$215.00Out of Stock
“The 2019 Meursault Le Limozin is superb, mingling aromas of pear, yellow orchard fruit, almond paste and pastry cream with hints of white flowers and mint. Medium to full-bodied, textural and precise, it combines impressive mid-palate volume with terrific cut. This will be well worth seeking out.” 91-93 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate Outstanding. […]

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste 2017
$295.00Considering some of the casks spent up to 2 months on skins, this is remarkably pure with extremely fine tannins. Compelling aromas of cassis, tar, cherry cola, leather polish, nutmeg, liquorice, cigar box, roses, cherry and violet. Tighter than the Le Vigne, and I prefer this in 2017, although usually Le Vigne gets my nod. […]

Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette 2019 (1.5L)
$105.00Out of Stock
Now we enter the realm of Bouland’s spectacular, terroir-specific Morgons. This particular wine is the first of two cuvées that focus on Corcelette’s sandy, granitic soils. This soil generates wines of great perfume and finer, rounder tannins than those of Morgon’s more schist-influenced terroirs. Like all Bouland’s wines this was whole-bunch fermented with indigenous yeasts […]

Craiglee Shiraz 2019
$60.00Firm classic Craiglee, a style that hasn’t wavered for at least the past 20 years. Blackberry, mulberry, cherry, blackcurrant, baking spices, tobacco, cigar box and bay leaf. Firm and savoury, still very young at this stage – you can smell, feel and taste the tannins. A nod to the great reds of Valpolicella, sweet, savoury, […]

Olifantsberg Syrah 2019
$35.00This wine delivers a complex array of flavours of red and dark current berries, beautiful sweet aromas of violets layered by hints of liquorice and pepper. The palate has a refined taste with balanced acidity and tannins. 93 points – Tim Atkin MW Shop all Olifantsberg Wines

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay La Charme Aux Pretres 2019
$235.00Out of Stock
Outstanding. Top Value. This is also decidedly restrained and offers only glimpses of the spiced citrus peel and green apple aromas. The rich, full-bodied and intense medium weight flavors are at once caressing yet powerful on the impressively long and saline-suffused finish. This too is very good for its level. 88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound […]

Thierry Glantenay Pommard 1er Cru Saussilles 2019
$225.00The latest rendition of a cuvée that goes from strength to strength, Glantenay‘s old vine 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Saussilles offers up notions of Griotte cherries, cassis, potpourri and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, racy and concentrated, with superb depth at the core and a saline finish, it’s well worth seeking out. As I’ve written […]

Thierry Glantenay Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 2019
$210.00The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots was the last wine in the cellar to finish its malolactic fermentation, and its bouquet of smoky blackberries and cherries was still comparatively unformed. Medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, its bright acids and powdery tannins mark it out as a particular success this year. 91-93+ Points – William Kelley, […]

Nicole Lamarche Grand Cru Echezeaux 2019
$425.00The Lamarche Echézeaux comes from three lieux-dits: Les Cruots ou Vignes Blanches, Clos-Saint-Denis, and Les Champs Traversins. Altogether these parcels make up about 1.3 hectares of vines with an average age of 30 years. Nicole Lamarche works with very low yields here, which, alongside the Domaine’s delicate extraction, results in a superb expression of this terroir. Of this cuvée, Jasper Morris has […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Kabinett 2019 (1.5L)
$145.00Very clear and flinty on the still reductive yet very precise and spring-like nose. Juicy and light on the palate, this is an intense, fruity, salty- piquant and stimulating Kabinett with the gorgeous fruit of the Juffer. Drink 2025-2045. 89-92 points – Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate, August 2020

Daniel Bouland Morgon Bellevue Cailloux 2019 (1.5L)
$105.00Bouland’s Morgon Bellevue Cailloux 2019 is made exactly the same way as all of the Bouland wines: natural, whole-bunch ferment, concrete tank/foudre élevage and no fining. This is fascinating to compare directly with the Sable (sand) cuvée. Here, there’s more plum and blackcurrant depths, and also a smoky, hot-rocks kind of mineral profile. Long and strong, […]

Spreitzer Lenchen Riesling Spatlese ‘303’ 2019

Coming exclusively from the Eisenberg this is rich with red apples and sweet acacia […]

Benjamin Leroux Pommard 2019
$168.00Natural cork. With both this cuvée and the wonderful Rugiens-Hauts, Leroux is back in Pommard with a bang. The 2019 is a blend of Les Vaumuriens (high on the slope) and Les Cras (on the lower slope), both vineyards lying on the Volnay side of the village. Leroux notes the cooler, hillside fruit from Les Vaumuriens brings freshness and balance to the blend. […]
