Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2021

From a 330m elevation vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Whole-bunched pressed to older puncheons. Natural fermentation and no mlf. A touch riper and more concentrated than last year’s version.

Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2018
$70.00The most sweetly fruited of traditional Rioja, with rich cassis, raspberry, morello cherry, sweet vanilla, sandalwood and oiled leather. The oak is perfectly integrated, so often it’s raw in traditional Rioja upon release, but not here. Flavours folded, glistening, melting tannins ever present, that soften towards the close. It’s very hard to resist now, so […]

Quinta Do Noval LBV Unfiltered 2017
$75.00One of the best LBV’s tasted in a long time. I often find them losing a little bit of freshness and bitter notes too apparent. Not a bit of it here, however! Oozing aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, prunes, dates, violets and mint. Luscious and full bodied, some clove and cinnamon, the spice […]

Domaine Lavantureux Petit Chablis 2022
$58.00“All from Lignorelles – A pretty nose – not large scale but of good width. Mouth-filling but fluid and complex – that’s really great in the mouth – a nose short of great wine but clearly great PC today!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “In bottle. A fine clean pale colour, with very crisp aromatics. This […]

$65.00From vines located at the top of the hill of Grand Crus only metres from the Grand cru Valmur and also this wine includes another very small 0.4 ha planting also at the crest of the hill of Grand Crus (just above Vaudesir) that the Moreau family have planted more recently.

Domaine A Petit A Cabernets 2017
$55.00St Emillion inspired, but for me, reminiscent of the haunting, autumnal wines of Pessac Leognan. Beautifully complex aromas of blackcurrant, cranberry, mulberry, blackberry, violets, garrigue herbs, tobacco leaf, mint and cocoa. Pure ripe fruit, supple initially, before the sensual squeeze of chewy, tobacco laced tannins. Very complex interplay of savoury and fruit notes with squid […]

Saltfleet Grenache 2022
$40.00Saltfleet’s Grenache is a more generous style. Stunning aromatics of English summer fruits, Middle Eastern spices, milk chocolate, cola, compost and campfire. Rich and generous, really mouth filling, but not heavy. Lovely fleshy fruit and mid palate pulp, all wrapped up in rich tannins and bright acidity. Utterly gorgeous drinking. Waters Wine Co “Sourced […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2020
$60.002020 was a tiny vintage at Sailor Seeks Horse in the Huon Valley, yielding just 2 t/ha. But the long, cool growing season has produced wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Wines of elegance and finesse; structure and complexity. And very limited. “With high natural acidity we decided to put a few more of the […]

Mayford Tempranillo 2021
$44.00Beautiful wine, and certainly Australia’s benchmark tempranillo. Complex aromatics of cola, liquor cherry, cassis, blueberry, sweet spice, pink peppercorns and compost. Initially, the attack is pure and translucent, before the impact of minerality firms, squeezes and reshape. Some earthy/dusty/ferrous notes, threaded with sweet fruit is irresistible. Mouthwatering and long, the curvy shape snapped to attention […]

Collemattoni Rosso do Montalcino 2020
$45.00A defining traditional Brunello producer, Collemattoni’s wines offer a magical tension of lightness and power, pure fruit and earthy/meaty/herbal savouriness. Made from 100% Sangiovese and aged for 14 months in Slovenian oak, the ageing has burred some of Sangiovese’s angular structure, without sacrificing any brightness or energy. Tangy and pure with fruits of blackberry, cassis, […]

Swinney Syrah 2023
$44.00A feature of Swinney’s estate wines is their openness; they drink beautifully from the moment it’s in your glass. Floral, blue, black, red fruits, Chinese five spice and fresh compost notes. Medium bodied, but it feels richer, due to the plushness of the fruit, interwoven acid and beautifully shaping tannins of cashmere. As always, in […]

Bright and bracing, yellow peach, white peach, grapefruit, citrus, white flowers, wood spice, pastry and cashew. Intense, very linear, driven, compact and generous.

Bubb and Pooley Syrah 2022

Stunning aromatics of Hoisin, Chinese Five Spice, blackberry, cassis, rhubarb, sweet raspberry, lavender soap, fennel and camphor. Pure and translucent, sensual and slick. Concentrated, elegant and mineral. Snaking shape, threading flavour and texture together. Spice flecked […]

Nicely perfumed with aromas of strawberries, redcurrants, musk and a little crushed violet. The mid-weight palate is nicely balanced with both good acidity and gently grippy tannins that will need another six […]

Place of Changing Winds Larderdark Chardonnay 2022
$165.00Low yields this vintage, which is a bummer, so not much made but great concentration of fruit weight and power the positive outcome. However, just when you think all the spiced stone fruit, citrus, nougat-like lees and cedary oak will add up to a weighty wine, it does an about-face. The acidity kicks in, reining […]

Gembrook Hill Chardonnay 2022
$50.002022 was a cooler, later vintage, perfect for the Gembrook Hill style, of purity, restraint and elegance. Singular in style, with the weight, length and silky texture of Chablis. The flavours though are entirely unique, combining essence of grapefruit, white flowers, kiwifruit, lime and white peach. The balance and tension of elements is incredible, a […]

Eisenstone Greenock Shiraz 2021
$85.00Deep, bright red-purple colour; the bouquet likewise bright and fresh, initially with a high-note of freshly-sawn oak, which dissipated somewhat with time in the glass. The palate is bright, intense and elegantly weighted, just making the full-bodied weight category. It’s quite oaky but has good approachability, medium-long carry, and the tannins are ample and very […]
