Mercer Pinot Grigio 2024
$22.00Pinot Grigio is the perfect session wine, and Aaron Mercer has made a beaut from an organic vineyard in Orange. Tangy and fresh, and like all of his whites, plenty of body and fleshy fruit. To have with food, or to not is the question, either is the answer. Gardenia, lemon, lime, cream and almond […]

Tillie J Aligote 2024
$40.00Aligote has become trendy, presumably because in Burgundy at least, it’s hard to tell the difference with chardonnay and they are invariably cheaper. Ironically, I find it’s more varietal in Australia, being more linear than chardonnay and fine boned. Tillie J’s is remarkable, a shock really, it’s just so damn good and so damn cheap! […]

J&S Fielke Shiraz 2024
$40.00From grapes off Inkwell’s organic vineyard in Tatachilla, McLaren Vale and their entry for the 2024 Hacking The Future of Shiraz Project. This is such a McLaren Vale expression, full of brambly fruits, blueberry and chocolate. Carbonically macerated for 14 days prior to a natural fermentation and hand plunged daily for a month. Elevage took […]

Haddow and Dineen Sehnsucht Riesling 2024
$45.00Always a lovely wine to taste, opening with pear, melon, citrus blossom, spring jasmine, lime, ripe lemon and subtle buttery/pastry notes. A wine of dimensions, the textural element a caress, but it also enables the wine to hold and enfold your palate. Juicy and unctuous, there is, however, an overwhelming sense of control and precision, […]

Bulman Grenache Rose 2024
$28.00My absolute favourite grenache producer in Australia, demolishing all cliches and stereotypes of South Australian grenache and red wines in general. It’s hard to believe that he (Mark Bulman) used to make Turkey Flat rose, the wines are so different. Pale in colour, refreshing, crisp and dry. Red summer fruits, sweet and tangy, with a […]

Joshua Cooper Pinot Noir 2024
$50.00The Early Release wines of Josh Cooper are obviously less expensive and are supposedly an introduction to the range. The pinot noir however, along with all the range, is pretty darn serious stuff, in this case coming off the fabled Doug’s vineyard. Lovely aromatics, pretty, floral, with raspberry, rhubarb, poached plum, tangy redcurrant, blood orange […]

Joshua Cooper Claret 2024
$38.00I am forever surprised at the lack of support for Cabernet Sauvignon and cabernet blends, particularly when I am lucky enough to sample Josh Coopers wonderful wines. Not as edgy or angular as his later released wines, this nonetheless has some wonderful rough hewn tannins and a back lift of bright acidity. Blackcurrant, plum, cherry, […]

Farr Rising Gamay 2024
$60.00‘Big, dark, and bright colour in the glass. The nose is intense dark spice, punchy with a hit of salinity, savoury herbs and graphite. Behind this assertive forward barrage, or perhaps layered between it, is a perfumed and pretty musk and confectionary element that gives away it’s carbonic production method. The second sniff is more […]

Pooley Pinot Noir 2024
$55.00Aged in French oak for only 8 months, capturing the freshness and intensity of the fruit. Sweet and tangy red fruits of raspberry, cherry and cranberry, blueberry, violets and savoury spice. Medium bodied, intense, lithe and athletic, the oak having virtually no impact on the flavour of the wine. Precise, opulent and focused, with firm, […]

Pooley Chardonnay 2024
$55.00One of Tasmania’s most consistent producers, Pooley’s estate chardonnay and pinot noir are as excellent as usual in 2024. This sits very much in the contemporary sphere – aged in barrel and concrete for only 6 months before bottling. Incredibly intense and primal, with an energy and vigorousness almost unmatched in Australian wine. Tangy citrus, […]

Reed Knowing Riesling 2024
$65.00On the nose this wine reminds me why I love Riesling so much, I feel smacked in the face by the crushed rock and marl limestone that I have trampled on for the last few years. Great Riesling speaks soil truth so well when the relationship between vine and maker lets it shine through the […]
