Pooley Butchers Hill Chardonnay 2023
$80.00A great vintage for this wine and for Tasmanian chardonnay. Eye wateringly intense, with aromas of grapefruit, gardenia, mandarin, lime preserve and lemon thyme. Rich, full bodied and round, underpinned by a scaffold of apple and lemon driven acidity. Brioche, apple strudel, acacia honey and cream fill out the fleshy, pulpy mid palate, before finishing […]

Place of Changing Winds Tradition Red 2022

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$140.00One of Australia’s great cabernets. This from a cooler season highlights and accentuates the typical bright red fruits and blue fruit mix, especially on the nose. It’s aromatic and perfumed with an African violet scent. The palate as always is so exquisitely balanced and refined. Since 1989 the cabernet has been augmented with the floral […]

Iggy Springton Eden Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00There’s no mistaking where this comes from. Super vibrant aromatics of violets, cassis, kirsch, chocolate, blueberry, raspberry and charcoal. Rich and full bodied. Very powerful indeed, yet with precision and a sort of tactile grace. Some subtle sweet meat and game notes, which will no doubt come through more as the wine ages. Still, the […]

Mac Forbes Woori Yallock Chardonnay 2022
$65.00Tight like a tiger. Beautiful expression of Woori Yallock, very complex and animated. Lemon, lime, mandarin, citrus blossom, zest and preserved citrus. Wide plane across the palate, yet linear and focused, with just the right amount of flesh. Salty, long and unashamedly contemporary. Waters Wine Co From two vineyards in Woori Yallock. A few […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2021
$145.00“The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese offers a superbly complex and pure fresh nose of candied grapefruit, vineyard peach, verbena, almond cream, smoke, and a hint of cassis. The wine proves superbly honeyed and creamy on the palate, where riper elements of pineapple, honeyed peach, and apricot are wrapped in candied citrusy fruits. The wine […]

$250.00A wine of great depth, concentration, power and finesse, marked by the uncanny freshness of Dethune’s Champagnes.

Eleni & Edouard Vocoret Chablis En Boucheran 2021
$115.00“Cool, pure and elegant aromas are comprised by notes of green apple, lemon zest, iodine and tidal pool. There is very fine volume and mid-palate density to the tension-filled flavors that exude an almost pungent salinity on the clean, dry and sneaky long finish. Excellent quality for this level.” – Outstanding Top Value,Burghound “The […]

Chantereves Savigny-les-Beaune Dessus de Montchenevoy 2021
$170.00Le Dessus de Montchenevoy is located above the famed Savigny 1er Cru Aux Guettes. It’s a west-facing site on white soils that sits at an altitude of 350 metres and is surrounded by trees. The altitude and cool air from the forest help moderate the climate here, resulting in slow ripening and flavour development, while […]

Yeringberg Shiraz 2018
$85.00Always the most overtly structured of the Yeringberg offerings, the 2018 vintage Shiraz has a tannic presence rarely seen in Australia. Medium bodied, tightly wound, and needing vigorous coaxing, when it does finally appear, the intensity of entry is worth the wait. Gripping the mouth with firm, coating tannins offering red fruits, blueberry, lavender, camphor, […]

Fabien Coche Meursault ‘Les Chevalieres’ 2021
$250.00The lieux-dit of Les Chevalieres is situated above the village of Meursault. Above is the lieux-dit of Les Luchets, which produces a higher toned, more tensile wine. I can’t help but think that this is ideally situated, in a sense, mid-slope, the perfect aspect in Burgundy. Impossibly complex, with notes of white flowers, lemon, lime, […]

Storm Vrede Pinot Noir 2022
$70.00The best wines have elements of contradiction, a balancing act and tension of elements. All of Storm’s pinot noirs are distinct yet they share in their sense of the obviousness and elusiveness. The 2022 Vrede pinot noir is made from two clones and aged in 35% new wood. Juicy and mouth filling, a sense of […]

Raspail-Ay Gigondas 2020
$85.00The 2020 Gigondas is stunningly good and is loaded with notions of red cherries, framboise, sappy flowers, and pepper. These all carry to a medium to full-bodied, flawlessly balanced Gigondas offering ripe, perfectly integrated tannins, a layered, balanced mouthfeel, and a great finish. If I saw this on a wine shelf, I’d buy it. Drink […]

Joshua Cooper Blanche Barkley Old Vines Shiraz 2023
$90.00Unique. There is simply no shiraz like this anywhere in the world, and it is yet more evidence (as if any were needed) of Australia’s most important varietal. The most complex wine of the range. Forceful aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, redcurrant, cranberry, lavender, violets and sweet/savoury Middle Eastern spices. The savoury elements are strong, as […]

Bannockburn Serre Pinot Noir 2023
$105.00Certified organic. Serré is Bannockburn’s most iconic and memorable Pinot Noir. The 1.2 hectares of densely planted (9,000 per hectare), low-yielding, own-rooted vines were planted exclusively to the MV6 clone in 1984 and 1986. It is likely Australia’s oldest plot of densely planted Pinot Noir—which goes some way to explaining the striking complexity and intense […]

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 […]

Fletcher Barbaresco Faset Cru 2021
$145.002019 was the first year David has bottled Faset as a single Cru. David describes Faset has an ‘unparalleled richness’, a trait shared due to the similar soils with Asili, Rabaja and Rio Sordo. Perhaps easier to understand is that it’s the closest wine in David’s bottlings to Barolo in style. In the review tasting […]
