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 […]

Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle 2020
$28.00Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle is in the commune of Macau, next to its more famous neighbor, Margaux. Like Margaux, the soils and environs are similar, as is the varietal mix, in this case 80% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. The wine saw no oak whatsoever, and it’s rich, with delectable freshness and […]

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 […]

Tillie J Chardonnay 2023
$42.00The 2023 chardonnay from Tillie J is the best yet, and it’s not just because of a great vintage. There is less of the skin and bones approach, with more richness and mid palate succulence. White flowers, wood spice, fresh and preserved citrus, summer honey and pastry notes. Super intense palate, the flavours and textures […]

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 Rose 2024
$38.00A very serious rose, without sacrificing the fun or refreshment factor. It has a lovely luminous colour of copper, and the aromatics are high toned red fruits, Middle Eastern spice, mixed herbs, cream and marzipan. All enveloping, really coating all corners of the mouth. Lithe and fleshy, its curve cut by acidity and faint cashmere […]

Chateau du Cedre Heritage 2020
$30.00Such gorgeous aromatics of blackcurrant, lavender, violets, plum and cherry liqueur. Rich, but in no way heavy, fleshy and lithe. There is always such tension and balance with the Cedre wines, and all of this achieved without any additions save a little Sulphur at bottling. Very long close, fresh and lively, the pumice like tannins […]

Chateau du Cedre Chardonnay Heritage 2023
$35.00From estate vineyards, grown on limestone, the Chardonnay was handpicked, whole bunch pressed and allowed to ferment naturally. Aged on fine lees, there is absolutely no oak, yet the lees do impart a creaminess and there are reductive notes of flint and struck match. Pristine wine, and beautifully pitched at just 12% alcohol. Lime, grapefruit, […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
$69.00No Huldufolk this, which works for me as this is the finest chardonnay to date. 40 per cent new French oak, no malolactic as usual, the fruit soaking up what has to be very expensive wood. Super fragrant, with spring jasmine, pawpaw, fig, quince, white peach, preserved lime, spicy oak, burnt butter and citrus rind. […]

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 […]

Farr Rising Saignee Rose 2024
$44.00‘This wine has been gone for too long. I’ve missed it. It has a pinkie onion skin vibe in the glass, and the nose is of ripe fruits, and a complex oak derived aroma, but not simply woody, maybe more like almonds or more specifically a marzipan character. On second smell, the nose is of […]

Domaine la Remejeanne Cotes du Rhone Les Chevrefeuilles Rouge 2022
$39.00I once heard from a Californian wine grower that syrah (or shiraz) was a chameleon of a grape variety, adapting itself to a plentitude of environment’s, wine making techniques and varietal bedfellows. It is for me, the greatest French varietal of them all. I was so taken by Remejeanne’s Chevrefeuilles rouge for it’s freshness, complexity, […]

Lambert Crudo Chardonnay 2024
$30.00Out of Stock
Lambert’s stimulating Crudo Chardonnay hails from the east/northeast-facing slope on the Denton vineyard’s cone-shaped site. The vines are now 22 years old, sitting on expressive soils of granitic sand over heavy granite boulders. The fruit was pressed as bunches and vinified entirely in tank. The wine went through full malolactic conversion and was bottled without […]

Bannockburn Riesling 2024
$30.00Out of Stock
“Made mainly from 0.4ha of vines planted in 1976. A pure and quite lovely nose featuring scents of Meyer lemon, makrut lime leaves and floral notes. The palate is linear, chalky and long with the fruit and acidity in perfect harmony. I’m thinking san choy bow would be a great match. I’m guessing it’ll age […]

Bernard Defaix Petit Chablis 2023
$58.00Screwcap. Unusually for a Petit Chablis, which generally comes from the lower-lying sites on Portlandian limestone, the lion’s share of this cuvée is drawn from a parcel of Kimmeridgian-based soil. Yet it’s not necessarily the type of limestone but more the location that makes the difference. The small Defaix parcel is well situated on the […]

Swinney Mourvedre 2023
$44.00Savoury. That’s it. Well if I must say more, alongside the Farvie, this is Australia’s benchmark Mourvedre. Fragrant, savoury spice, blackcurrant, lavender, glace cherry, autumn leaves, cured meat, Provencal herbs and pink peppercorn. The firmest, most savoury and mineral of the estate wines. Medium bodied, with black olive, hedge fruits, seaweed, oyster shell and licorice. […]

Swinney Riesling 2024
$35.00Classic Swinney character, dialed up by the exceptional circumstances of the vintage. Yellow flower, mustard seed, tangy grapefruit, yellow peach, honey, cherry, bergamot and dried apricot. Rich, concentrated and full of dry extract, penetrating acidity and salty minerals. Round in shape, with terrific intensity and dense as far as Australian Riesling goes. A wine of […]

Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2022
$100.00“Five Star Wine. Equally pale but even more striking, with the saline mineral nose and a sense of purity. A striking freshness of fruit, Kimmeridge put to good use, with a lovely clean and pure finish. Real delicacy with intensity.” 92 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “A more direct and intense aroma – there’s more […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Small Wonder Pinot Noir 2023
$55.00A sense of effortless calm descends from any glass from the Sailor Seeks Horse duo. Intensely aromatic with sweet red summer fruits, tangy hedge fruits, potpourri and savoury spice. Mid weight and supple, yet there is a concentration and persistence that belies the gentle colour and cool drinkability. Firmness, just the right squeeze of skin […]

Mader Pinot Gris 2023
$45.00Good aromatic lift with peach, apple and exotic tropical fruit characters on the nose and palate. Round and supple in texture, with wonderfully precise flavour. Great concentration and depth with a little residual sweetness in this ripe vintage. The rich texture and cleansing acid balance gives this wine great immediate appeal yet it also has […]

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, […]

Christophe et Fils Vieilles Vignes Chablis 2023
$65.00Coiled, cool and tense, a rockier road than the estate’s Chablis. Aromas of lemon, lime zest, gardenia, grapefruit and green apple. Full of tension, Riesling-like in breadth and crystal cut acidity. Very refreshing, linear in shape, with just enough fleshy fruit to blunt the sword. Very long, the carry goes on and on with a […]

MMAD Rose 2024
$38.00The second release of rosé for MMAD, and from all varieties on the old vineyard: grenache, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chenin blanc. Like the 2023, the proportions are a mystery, and lifted herbal notes of cabernet again lead the aromatics, but the colour has been dialled down to a classic coral pink. Grenache lends red-fruited […]
