La Soufrandière Pouilly-Vinzelles Les Longeays 2021
$130.00“Here more concentration and ripeness of citrus, not quite exotic but more in this direction. Yet the palate remains clean, direct and intense – just far too drinkable. Broad and intense as the last notes only slowly start to fade – what another excellent wine!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “The 2021 Pouilly-Vinzelles Climat Les Longeays has […]

Weiser-Kunstler Trabener Gaispfad Riesling 2018
$85.00Generally preferring sweeter styled Mosel wines, it’s always a thrill to love the unexpected. Immensely complex, deep and brooding with aromas of gooseberry, kiwi, lime, ruby grapefruit, spring jasmine smoke and earth. Absorbing and immense, it’s hard to grasp the sheer depth and breadth of this wine, yet without heaviness or unnecessary structure. Silkily textured, […]

$110.00Luminance is crafted from vines with an average age of 50 years. Planted in Kimmeridgian limestone with an active lime content of over 70%. A high active lime content is a feature of the region, but at this level, the vines must work very hard indeed for nutrients and water. The vineyard is terraced, steep […]

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020
$320.00Out of Stock
“Pale lemon colour. A smoky reduction which is far from unpleasant. The fruit starts to come out, indeed offering excellent depth of fruit, some yellow plums but still fresh, plenty of weight behind and good length.” 91-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts has a crisp, precise, gunflint-tinged bouquet […]

Nicole Lamarche Grand Cru Echezeaux 2019

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 […]

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.

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru ‘Les Vergers’ 2022
$305.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet Vergers 1er Cru was reductive on the nose when I tasted the barrel sample, but that will be addressed by bottling time. There appears to be very good intensity here, and with time, there is an unexpected touch of Shiso leaf. The palate is well-balanced and poised, gently building towards an intense […]

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, […]

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.

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 […]

$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, […]
