Home Hill Landslide Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00Very stylish and complex aromatics of summer red fruits, hedge fruits, fennel, mint, Turkish tobacco, fresh compost, tar, blood orange, dark chocolate, roses and Serano. The 2023 is the first vintage where all the fruit for the Landslide comes off estate vines, albeit young vines. Potential plus however. This is very serious and delicious. Deep […]

Pokolbin Vintners Pokolbin Mountain Dry Red 2023
$40.00Intensely fragrant and you can smell the coolness of the site. Lavender, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, strawberries, compost/earthy notes, mace, licorice, iodine and leather. Such an attack of freshness and tangy fruits. Medium bodied, yet all corners of the mouth are coated with tangy red fruits, chalky tannins, incredible levels of natural acidity and puckering limestone […]

Patrick Sullivan Chardonnay 2023
$29.00Out of Stock
Patrick Sullivan has wanted to make an entry-level wine for some time, one that would fit in with his Gippsland stable; he looked to the Limestone Coast because of the volcanic soils and quality of groundwater, so fruit from Mount Gambier and Coonawarra. It’s a lovely wine, gentle yet persuasive, with a wave of white […]

Giannitessari Soave 2023
$30.00Made from mostly Garganega, with Trebbiano providing aromatic lift and structure. Quite succulent for a Soave, and softer, broader than the Classico. Melon, almonds, frangipani, lemon, apricot and white peach. Very easy to drink, with a perfect tension of zing and gentle texture to match with food, or not, it really doesn’t matter. Waters Wine Co […]

Farr Rising Gamay 2023
$60.00The gamay was grafted onto own rooted cabernet vines, which were planted in 1999. The soil is black cracking clay soil, with a mixture of submerged volcanic pebbles and boulders at one end, and a more friable and slightly more vigorous chocolate-coloured soil at the other. The first fruit was picked during the 2014 vintage. […]

Corymbia Calgardup Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$65.00“The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon springs from a most glorious season in Western Australia (WA), and in particular, Margaret River. I judged at eight wine shows last season, six of which had classes of wines from Western Australia in 2023. It is my estimation that 2023 was a vintage that extracted the very best from every […]

Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis 2023
$58.00Screwcap. Unusually for a Petit Chablis, which generally comes from the lower-lying sites on Portlandian limestone, the lion’s share of this cuvée is drawn from a parcel of Kimmeridgian-based soil. Yet it’s not necessarily the type of limestone but more the location that makes the difference. The small Defaix parcel is well situated on the […]

Swinney Grenache 2023
$44.00Beautiful lifted fragrance of lavender, sarsaparilla, cola, sweet cherry, potpourri and blackberry. The finest and most ethereal release ever of this wine, yet utterly different from the pinot-esque examples emanating from McLaren Vale. Silky flow, framed by deft tannins; the sweet red summer fruits counter-pointed by savoury soy and autumn compost. Very long, drawn out […]

Mesh Eden Valley Riesling 2023
$35.00Mesh is a collaboration between Yalumba’s Robert Hill Smith and Jeffrey Grosset, two of Australia’s greatest riesling producers. Typical of the vintage, the 2021 has that extra level of concentration. White flowers, mandarin oil, lemon zest and juicy ripe limes. Texturally, there is a chalky/salty mineral feel, that really lifts the finish. Precise, elegant, detailed […]

Pooley Pinot Noir 2023
$55.00The darkest and most hedonistic of the Pooley range with mixed black fruits, fennel, kirsch and bitter chocolate. Full bodied and polished, the fruit, so rich and fresh taking centre stage. Savoury notes of sweet and savoury spice, pepper, gamey notes, liquorice and fresh compost. Generous and gorgeous, the tannins rich but soft and the […]

Sadie Family Citrusdal Mountain Soldaat 2023
$165.00“A red wine that has done great things for the reputation of Grenache in Piekenierskloof, this comes from Bielie and Erasmus van Zyl’s farm and is Eben Sadie‘s version of a Gredos red. Grown on Table Mountain sandstone, it has layers of pomegranate and redcurrant, savoury tannins, very subtle oak and ethereal, seductively floral aromas. A […]

Chateau du Cedre Chardonnay Heritage 2023
$35.00From estate vineyards, grown on limestone, the Chardonnay was handpicked, whole bunch pressed and allowed to ferment naturally. Aged on fine lees, there is absolutely no oak, yet the lees do impart a creaminess and there are reductive notes of flint and struck match. Pristine wine, and beautifully pitched at just 12% alcohol. Lime, grapefruit, […]

Christophe Patrice Petit Chablis 2023
$50.00Scintillating and generous, a rare combination that only Chablis can bring to a wine. Citrus aromatics, white flowers, melon and a dusting of herbs. So much expression for a Petit Chablis, savoury and fruity, zesty citrus combining with apple strudel and brioche. Bargain. Waters Wine Co From vines ranging in age from 40 to […]

Salo Chardonnay 2023
$50.00“From the Full Moon Vineyard in Gladysdale. Wild ferment and 100% mlf. There’s only one wine from winemakers and friends Steve Flamsteed and Dave Mackintosh, and it’s always a good ‘un. A bright green gold. There’s aromas of ripe stone fruits together with some savoury and complex briny notes. On the palate, this has lots […]

Stargazer Riesling 2023
$35.00A feinherb style that is at once richer and more tense than the 2022. Stunning aromatics of green mango, kiwi, star jasmine, pink grapefruit, lime, white cherry and blackcurrant. Stunning breadth, absolutely palate coating, focused, intense and mineral. The fruit is perfectly ripe, yet tangy, mouthwatering and so pristine, you’ll have to have another sip. […]

Gentle Folk Piccadilly Chardonnay 2023
$65.00An incredible contemporary Australian chardonnay, from the great Piccadilly vineyard. Bright, vivid and intense aromatics of lemon and limes, zest, juice and preserved, ruby grapefruit and mandarin blossom. Tense and coiled, eyewatering in its crispness and cut. Linear and concentrated, with some fleshy stone fruit buffeting the sides. No doubt time will see greater flesh […]

Gentle Folk Monomeith Pinot Noir 2023
$65.00Same winemaking as the Scary Gully Pinot Noir, with 20% whole bunches and 15% new oak. Elemental, angular and slippery, a totally different expression. Gorgeous aromatics of sweet and tangy red fruits, boysenberry, Five Spice, clove and fennel. A very Adelaide Hills expression. Medium bodied, lifted, with lovely tangy tones, the acidity a greater feature, […]

Pewsey Vale Vineyard Riesling 2023
$25.00One of Australia’s most consistent and best value whites. A great vintage for this wine too. Expressive and concentrated. Lemon, lime, white peach, start jasmine and sculptural acidity. Fleshy fruit, some zest and rind for texture and that Clare Valley zing. Drink over the next 20 years at least. Waters Wine Co Riesling sourced […]

Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2023
$75.00Out of Stock
An outstanding release of this vaunted wine. It’s intense, it’s racy, it’s complex and nuanced in its fruit, spice, mineral and subtle savoury elements, all of it woven into an extremely persistent and poised textural experience. There’s stacks of flavour in all this, yet held within a tensile thrust of raciness and faint chalky pucker. […]

La Battistelle Montesei Soave Classico 2023
$34.00Aromatically complex, every sniff revealing something new. White flowers, marjoram, white peach, lemon and melon. Delicate palate, light almost, but with pulpy fruit. For all its lightness, the wine has terrific personality, the flavours clear and precise and a structure that is entirely wrapped up by the fruits, flowers and spice. Absolute lunch perfection.

Rob Hall Pinot Noir 2023
$30.00Mainly destemmed with a small amount of whole bunches. Matured, mainly, in seasoned hogheads and puncheons. A very light crimson. Fruit-forward aromas of gently poached red fruits, spices and light floral notes. The palate is similarly easygoing, with soft tannins rounding out an early-drinking, good-value Yarra pinot. 91 points – Halliday Wine Companion

Kleine Zalze Vineyard Selection Chenin Blanc 2023
$32.00Flavours of melon, white peach and almond blossom and a hint of minerality that adds to the elegance of the wine. Masterfully oaked, this wine is textured and creamy on the mid-palate with a lively, crisp finish. This wine can be enjoyed now, but with careful cellaring it should age gracefully over the next 10 […]

On the palate, intense minerality combined with fine acidity and lees complexity create a mouthfeel that is velvety and creamy yet focused and intense. Creating a tactile sensation that is long, savoury, and refreshing. Winemaker’s […]

Subtle and complex with its bouquet of just-picked white nectarines, lightly grilled nuts, lemongrass and a little sea spray. Fills out nicely on the mid-palate and there’s […]

Domenica Chardonnay 2023
$55.00Out of Stock
‘A very fine chardonnay, without quite the precision, detail and tension that I recall from other years. Stone fruit, flint, lanolin, porcini and that regional tattoo of glazed quince. Quinine bitterness at the finale. Mid-weighted and nicely nervous in the mouth, while suitably open-knit enough to breach already. Fine. Drink or hold. Screw cap.’ 95 Points […]

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 […]
