Polperro Coverdale Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00The first release of the Coverdale vineyard, planted in 2010 on volcanic red clay in a natural amphitheatre. Cool and exposed of course ala Polperro, and like Talland Hill, a touch more rugged and dark fruited. Sweet spices, dark fruits, brambly fruits, cola and clove. Rich and succulent, the gummy tannins prominent, mouth-watering and mineral. […]

Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc 2021
$35.00The grapes are hand picked with great care and chilled overnight in a cold room. The following day they are whole-bunch pressed to a settling tank. These vineyards were picked over a period of 12 days and each day fresh juice was added to the already fermenting tanks. This extended the alcoholic fermentation by about […]

Henri Germain Meursault Clos des Mouches Rouge 2020
$225.00“The 2020 Meursault Clos des Mouches Rouge wafts from the glass with aromas of rich berry fruit, warm spices, rose petals and sweet soil tones. Medium to full-bodied, rich and vibrant, its fleshy core of fruit is framed by ripe, powdery tannins and lively acids.” 90-92 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate This should not […]

Rieslingfreak No 4 Eden Valley Riesling 2023
$25.00Classic Eden Valley dried wildflower aromas, pot-pourri, not as dry as the Polish but close. There is high, rapier-like acidity but it avoids tartness. Very lively but soft and with generous fruit, which gives it remarkable approachability—the most up-front of this maker’s ’23s—although it’s obviously going to age well. (A blend of Eden Valley vineyards. […]

Delightfully different, with a round shape, great acid line and chalky/salty finish. Waters Wine Co I’ve been following this winery for a time now and enjoying the experience. […]

Mercer Limited Release Semillon 2022
$40.00Very expressive with lime, butter, nettles, lemons, gardenia and grapefruit. This is very, very easy to drink. Plush and full, with incredible mid-palate flesh and lanolin texture. Pulp, round in shape, without ever losing focus or line. When tasting, very similar to Tyrrells’ Johnno’s Basket Pressed Semillon, and I understand the winemaking is very similar. […]

Crawford River Cabernets 2020
$36.00The wine is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon & 25% Cabernet Franc. Beautiful lifted, spiced blue fruits and baked red fruit are the primary forces here. Rhubarb, Mulberry and morello cherry coupled with mixed spice and bay leaves that carry through the palate. The chalky texture along with lovely, supple acidity, pull the wine […]

Polperro Mill Hill Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00If there was a single vineyard wine in this release that defines Polperro then it would have to be Mill Hill. One of the coolest sites and late harvested, there is nonetheless an intensity and concentration of flavour, coupled with high toned aromatics, bracing structure and buoyant acidity. Tangy red fruits, hedge fruits, rhubarb, sweet […]

Polperro Landaviddy Lane Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00Expressive and floral, with violets, geranium, sweet Middle Eastern spice, red fruits and hints of dark. Lovely smooth flow, very even shape of great width and amplitude. Poached plum and red fruits mingle with spice and autumnal notes. Velvet and bright, the acidity apparent from the beginning, framing and shaping the flow. Such movement and […]

Carl Loewen Riesling ‘1896’ 2021
$175.00This is beautiful to drink now, but those things which really make it stand out in the crowd are only just beginning to reveal themselves. With every swirl of the glass the ripe peach and apricot aromas expand until there’s a great cloud of them. Staggering concentration is packed into a rather sleek frame, but […]

Onannon Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2021
$42.00Onannon’s Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2021 is Australian Chardonnay at its best – flavoursome, toothsome and excellent value. Full bodied, round in shape, with cream, cashew, grapefruit, white peach, jasmine and green apple. So much amplitude, covering the mouth, and squeezing its way into every part of the palate. Chiselled fresh, tight, coiled and chewy. Flavour […]

MMAD Shiraz 2022
$75.00This is a seriously impressive release, showcasing winemaker Adam Wadewitz’s learnings from the first vintage and the bounty of full viticultural control. The old-vine fruit could easily handle about one-third whole bunch, a Wadewitz favourite. And that impact is profoundly positive, weaving in spicy, smoky notes and complexing tannins to provide exceptional tension without greenness. […]

Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Chenin Blanc 2022
$25.00The grapes for this wine come predominantly from selected vineyards in Stellenbosch, Paarl and Swartland. Owing to the nature of bush vines, careful canopy management was exercised so that no bunches were exposed to excessive sunlight and that an even ripening of the grapes was ensured. The 2022 harvest started very late due to covld […]

Crawford River Noble Dry Riesling 2022
$65.00Noble Dry was born in 2011, when we left a section of a single block for one week following a downpour and subsequent warmth toward the end of the season. The result was a high percentage of early onset Botrytis, which results in colour and flavour change to the berry, without the active, grey mould […]

Swinney Syrah 2022
$45.00This is part of a triumvirate of wines that showcases the vineyard and winemaking that have crafted these super wines. This is not your fruit bomb Aussie shiraz. This is syrah and there is more than a little Old World style here. The fruit shows an almost luminosity that bursts from the glass. The […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]

Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2023
$79.00An outstanding release of this vaunted wine. It’s intense, it’s racy, it’s complex and nuanced in its fruit, spice, mineral and subtle savoury elements, all of it woven into an extremely persistent and poised textural experience. There’s stacks of flavour in all this, yet held within a tensile thrust of raciness and faint chalky pucker. […]

Bloody Hill Villages Rose 2023
$32.00European in style. At least in the sense that it’s herbal, savoury, spicy and salty. Lifted red fruits, but it really is about those herbal elements and some lanolin fluffiness on the midpalate. Finishes mildly textural and slightly saline. Mouthwatering and delicious. Give it some food! Waters Wine Co

Mac Forbes Gembrook Village Pinot Noir 2022
$65.00The deepest, and most brooding of the range, yet curiously with the sweetest fruit profile. Sweet English strawberry and raspberry, kirsch and sweet Middle Eastern spices. Fascinating palate, due to its chalky, savoury, pithy and mineral profile, awash with sweet red fruits. Tertiary notes of herb, spice and compost are very subtle, but will no […]

Fighting Gully Road Smiths Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
$85.00“Black label. A complex and compelling chardonnay. At its heart is a mineral, beeswax and slatey core that lays the foundation for the wine, contributing an effortless, natural balance. To that, the winemaker has brought ripe, citrus and stone fruits, introduced some spicy oak and a nougat-like texture. Brings both power and delicacy to the […]

High toned aromatics of lemon and lime, zest, citrus marmalade, star jasmine, wood spice and cream. Shaped like an inverted pyramid. The attack is razor sharp, on point and then it fans out with sumptuous flesh, texture and extract. […]
