Eastern Peake Walsh Block Pinot Noir 2022
$62.00If I had to drink one wine from the range today, this would be it. The fruit profile is a little sweeter and darker fruits of blackcurrant, blackberry and mulberry, more to the fore. Deep and rich, certainly the weightiest comparing the Griffins Rd and Intrinsic. A wine of terrific curve, shape and generosity, cut […]

Bondar Clarendon Shiraz 2022

Magnificent shiraz, with blueberry, blackberry, sweet English summer fruits, geranium, licorice, clove, black olive and almond paste. Succulent and juicy, with vibrancy and curve, the wine’s structural elements, shaping yet not defining. Savoury elements of fresh compost, oyster and squid ink buttress the pure and pristine […]

MMAD Grenache 2022
$75.00Unusually for a Grenache the 2022 Mmad evolved and transformed itself so much over the 3 or so hours we tried. Floral with violets and geraniums, earthy notes, pine nettles, red fruit compote, milk chocolate, creaming soda, sage, mint and blacker fruits becoming more apparent the longer it’s open. What started out as a little […]

Sadie Family Swartland Kokerboom 2022
$155.00“This is a wonderful expression of his Citrusdal Mountain farm, and something of a tribute to Henk Laing, the grower who passed away last year. Combining Semillon with around 15% interplanted Semillon Gris, this is less exotic than it can be, showing layers of honeysuckle, saffron, citrus and herbs supported by fresh, sappy minerality, a […]

Swinney Mourvedre 2022
$42.00This is a variety that is finding a safe, comfortable home in Frankland River. Lovely perfumed red fruits on the nose displaying a slightly earthy, dusty raspberry and light plummy character. The palate is soft and supple. It’s medium weight with a fine chalky ironstone thing treading through the palate. The cradle of tannins […]

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2022 (1500ml)
$145.00This “outstanding” release is drawn from Bannockburn’s entire spectrum of vineyards (planted in 1976, 1997 and 2007), including fruit from the iconic, close-planted blocks.

Christian Moreau Grand Cru Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos 2022
$285.00A tiny 0.41 ha strip of vines located at the bottom of Grand Cru Les Clos. More apparent wood is present on the otherwise similar nose.

Domaine la Remejeanne Cotes du Rhone Les Chevrefeuilles Rouge 2022
$39.00I once heard from a Californian wine grower that syrah (or shiraz) was a chameleon of a grape variety, adapting itself to a plentitude of environment’s, wine making techniques and varietal bedfellows. It is for me, the greatest French varietal of them all. I was so taken by Remejeanne’s Chevrefeuilles rouge for it’s freshness, complexity, […]

Paul Pillot Bourgogne Blanc 2022
$100.00“Pale in colour, prettily toasty on the nose, alongside the clean white fruit, balanced, with energised apple fruit yet still with some flesh to provide the body.” 88-90 Points – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

David Moreau Santenay Beauregard 1er Cru 2022
$160.00The 2022 Santenay Beauregard ler Cru comes from vines located at a higher altitude, above the windmill overlooking the namesake village on clayey marn soils. This feels quite complex, with raspberry, blackberry and briar scents on the nose and a touch of white pepper and licorice (Moreau dubs it his “little Syrah”). The medium-bodied palate […]

La Petite Mort Saperavi 2022
$42.00Without doubt, the finest Saperavi in Australia. Made traditionally in Amphorae, left on skins for 180 days and a small dash of Sulphur the only addition. Yet despite this, the tannins are silky and the fruit vivid and fresh. Deeper than the 2020, brooding, with blackberry, mulberry, plum, blackcurrant and raspberry. There’s a ferrous element […]

Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2022
$55.00From a 330m-elevation vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Whole-bunch pressed to older puncheons. Natural fermentation and no mlf. Sadly, this will be the last Applecross chardonnay from this vineyard. A very bright green gold. More oomph than usual. Lovely complexity with its citrus, stone fruits, white flowers and subtle matchstick. And while this is tightly […]

Moreau-Naudet Chablis 1er Cru Forets 2022
$145.00Diam. Stéphane Moreau used to call Forêts “one of the greatest terroirs of Chablis”. It’s a historical sub-plot within the 1er Cru Montmains, high up the slope and facing southeast. It can undoubtedly produce Chablis of the highest order, as both Dauvissat and Moreau have shown many times (Raveneau also has a small parcel). Moreau farms two plots of vines here, with a total […]

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 […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2022
$170.00Still very youthful on the nose, this is crammed with ripe peach, plus more delicate notes of pineapple and mangosteen. It’s a minor miracle that this kind of concentration can be packed into such a sleek, medium-bodied palate. What an amazing mouthfeel this has thanks to the seamless integration of slatey acidity and ripeness. Very […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2022
$155.00“This very concentrated and super-elegant riesling Auslese is still tightly-wound. However, it already has a very wide spectrum of subtle yellow fruit and wild flower aromas. Terrific structure behind the rich, but still medium-bodied palate. Incredibly long, slatey finish with staggering freshness that pulls you back for more of this Mosel masterpiece. Drinkable now, but […]

JJ Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese 2022
$110.00“This reminds me so much of English hedgerows in summer with their diversity of flowers, berries and herbs. Cool and elegant in spite of the impressive ripeness on the medium-bodied palate. Very polished through the impeccably balanced, subtle finish. Hard to believe that analytically this must have a significant amount of grape sweetness, because it’s […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2022
$130.00“Here is a great Mosel Kabinett that needs a bit more time to show what it is really made of. Still very young with a pronounced yeasty character that slowly recedes with aeration, but the white peach and honeysuckle aromas that emerge are stunning. Extremely vibrant and precise, the slatey acidity making this fabulously graceful. […]

CRFT Blefari Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Hand picked and wild fermented in tank before transfer to oak on full solids (35% new) where it remained for seven months. Very fine, as much by virtue of its relaxed mid-weighted gait, as its tension. Yet this is tension imparted by an intuitive hand, an innate comprehension that any effete obsession with pH and […]
