Jane Eyre Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$95.00From a single vineyard planted in the late ’90s; native-yeast ferment with 20% whole bunches; matured in French oak (10% new) for 10 months. The whole bunch adds a crackling component here, an autumnal rustle, which is suffused with fruit as the wine is buoyed with air, redcurrant and wild red cherry unfurling. Carraway, rhubarb, […]

Storm Ridge Chardonnay 2023
$80.00The Ridge Chardonnay is a vibrant, high-energy wine bursting with immediate notes of white flowers, green apples and poached pears. There is a light, subtle smokiness in the background but this is all about the fruit at this early stage. The palate is driven and very fine, with layers of green, yellow and orange fruit […]

Fragrant, with sweet red summer fruits, blackberry, sweet and savoury spice, florals and dark cherry. Beautiful weight, medium-bodied with a lovely fleshy mid palate and firm backbone of tannin. Pure, translucent and savoury, every element harmonised and counter […]

Evenfall Chardonnay 2023
$45.00A thoroughly complete Australian chardonnay, Evenfall’s white has a foot in just about all the stylistic camps and the total sum of its parts is awesome. Has all the drive, tang and mineral intensity of Chablis and the darker fruits, texture and flesh of Meursault. Lovely aromatics of gardenia, pastry, cashew, preserved lime, yellow peach […]

Joshua Cooper Dash Farm Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$55.00The lightest iteration of Joshua Cooper’s sturdier varietals, but it’s by no means light. Super complex aromatics of lavender, violets, iodine, blueberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, charcoal/coal dust. Tight, coiled lacy and chalky, the skins are tasted and felt. Tannins are firm, receding to chalk and they are ever present, shaping and defining the wine. Interwoven acidity […]

Frederick Stevenson Marsanne Roussanne 2023
$40.00From a biodynamic vineyard in the Vine Vale sub region of the Barossa Valley. Incredibly complex, showcasing the advantages of blends and a wine style that is so suited to the Barossa. Pear, quince, almond paste, custard apple, brioche, savoury spice, stewed apple and citrus oil. Supple and creamy, with a lovely citric tang and […]

Kenny Wine Polish Hill River Riesling 2023
$35.00What I love about this wine is its generosity and juiciness. It’s not just another limey, palate stripping Riesling from the Clare. There’s weight, texture and power and the acidity is not the main feature. Citrus fruits, white flowers, salty and creamy. Curvaceous and precise with gin herbs, bath salts, tangy citrus, orchard fruits filling […]

Adelina Polish Hill River Smith Vineyard Riesling 2023
$33.0095 Points, TWF The Smith Vineyard is organically grown with old vines rooted in grey-brown loam in shale and sandy limestone. Col McBryde told us that it’s “Clare Valley on steroids”, and it is, but it’s also finer than you’d expect from Polish Hill. Savoury spice, fennel and sage, with juicy lime, grapefruit and lemon, […]

Decades Pinot Noir 2023
$78.00Is there more promise for Tasmanian chardonnay or pinot noir, or in a sense, are they equal? Considering the Decades chardonnay and pinot noir are off the same vineyard and the wines are as they are, I find i cannot apportion preference. Fragrant; it’s so beautifully alive with lavender and violets, clove, smoked paprika and […]

Decades Chardonnay 2023
$78.00Beauty is immediate. The pure and crystalline quality is captured in the gorgeous aromatics of grapefruit, fig, melon, spring jasmine and chocolate orange. Concentrated, but not big. Lithe, athletic and pure, but with a tempering suppleness; the tightness of youth and coiled power finessed, creamy and fleshy. Citrus and orchard fruits, mostly, the palate gripping […]

Mercer Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2023
$20.00The best place in Australia, for rich, round, easy going chardonnay is the Hunter Valley. These wines can age too, a couple of bottles of 2003, from a good vineyard will testify. At 21 years of age, both bottles were delicious and had at least another terrific five years. The 23 Mercer is a knockout, […]

J&S Fielke Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00Full flavoured, pure and lucid, a pinot noir of detail and juxtaposition. All the Fielke wines have an extra dimension, so they don’t fit neatly into established, stylistic conceptions. Very aromatic, with lavender, violets, Asian spices, earthy notes and a compote of tangy red and hedge fruits. Medium bodied, on the one hand angular and […]

Nocturne Single Vineyard Sheoak Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$60.00“The 2023 Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Sheoak Vineyard and leads with all the purity, precision, and balance that we have come to expect from the glorious 2023 season. You get cassis, raspberry pip, dried herbs, sheets of nori, iodine, and leather. The wine is potently intense; the fruit penetrates the palate and […]

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz 2023
$85.00Don’t be misled by cliches about the size and style of the Jasper Hill wines. Big though they are, they are fresh and balanced, with lovely natural acidity and waves of fruit and tannin. “Controlled full on”. Ferrous and autumnal notes reside with dark cherry, chocolate, lavender, potpourri, leather, polished wood and a compote of […]

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Nebbiolo 2023
$70.00From 1993 plantings in Georgia’s Paddock. A tiny production wine of great singularity and classicism, it’s hard to imagine such a fine nebbiolo coming from such an inhospitable a place as Heathcote. Fragrant with a compote of red fruits and sweet and savoury spice. Intense, with a wonderful attack of tannin, fruit and acid. The […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Huldufolk Pinot Noir 2023
$130.00Perhaps the most idiosyncratic wine in the Sailor Seeks Horse stable, emanating from a single clone, 115, and aged in wood for longer and a higher percentage new, 40 . The most reticent, the oak gripping for now, but patience required, patience given. Time in the glass reveals reductive notes of flint, smoke and tar, […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Dijon Clone Pinot Noir 2023
$90.00The two Dijon clones of 114 and 777, so favoured by Gilli and Paul. Clones are mumbo jumbo to me, but there’s no mistaking the unique nature of this wine. Savoury comes to mind, and a certain discretion; it certainly doesn’t jump out of the glass the way the estate wine does. Brooding and gentle […]

Bernard Defaix Chablis 2023
$70.00Screwcap. Defaix’s village Chablis is drawn from four parcels of mature, 30-plus-year-old vines situated around Milly and Poinchy on the left bank of the Serein River. The wine ferments spontaneously and ages on fine lees for 10 months in glass-lined tanks. Compared to the wine above, the older vines translate to more character, depth and […]

$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 […]
