Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2017
$85.00Out of Stock
This offers aromas of violets, blueberries, red and dark cherries, fragrant, freshly cracked black pepper and wet dark stones. Complex, but still tightly wound and reserved. The palate is very concentrated, dense and elegantly poised with such powerful tannin, carrying concentrated blueberry and dark-cherry flavors long. Really taut, fully ripe and mouthwateringly intense pinot noir. […]

Rippon Gewürztraminer 2019
$52.00More digestive than a fruit bomb, complex, textural, salivating and screaming for charcuterie or delicately spiced asian foods. Yet smells of rose petals, turkish delight, rose hip tea, and drying herbs. Delicious! Smells sweet but not bubblegummy and cartoony, more Turkish market spice and rosewater bath in the most refined, evocative sense. Succulent in texture, […]

Rippon Sauvignon Blanc 2019
$45.00Exceptional, biodynamic Sauvignon Blanc. Bursting with energy and flavour. Lemon, lime, mineral. Utterly delicious. Picked by hand into small, 10kg cases allowing the fruit to arrive at the the winery’s sorting table intact. It is then whole cluster pressed over 4 hours and run, by gravity, into a settling tank. 12 hours of settling is […]

Rippon Tinkers Field Pinot Noir 2018
$148.00Dark and brooding. Cassis, blackberry, mulberry, plum, cocoa and sage. Focused and deep, with a core of flavour needing a few years yet to unfurl. The tannins are the most complex and are unique. This was also evident with the 2017 vintage and I have never encountered them elsewhere. Firm and tense, with a squeeze […]

Rippon Riesling Mature Vine ‘Rippon’ 2019
$55.00A warm & productive summer put plenty of flesh on this wine. The fruit is from Rippon’s mature vines, whose root hairs have invaded the schist rock below. Lurking towards the end of the first mouthful is substantial phenolic power and it soon starts to take charge of the wine… and give it its sense […]

Rippon Emma’s Block Pinot Noir 2018
$138.00It’s hard to express, but smells tighter, with some more noticeable oak. Plum, Daphne, creme de cassis, raspberry and brown spice. The structure is more evident than in the Mature Vine and is cooler, cosseted and slightly less expressive. Very long, so persistent with those trademark velvety/chalk tannins that become more firm and morph into […]

Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2018
$88.00The emblematic wine of the estate, coming off all the vineyards. Complex; there’s just so many flavours here, too many to put down. Clove, aniseed, plum, pastille, black fruits, raspberry and nutmeg. The fruit is so sweet and expressive, but without any heaviness. Voluminous, round and as close to generous as Rippon gets. Incredible width, […]

Rippon Gamay 2020
$70.00Easily our favourite Gamay of 2021, taking deliciousness to a whole new level. Vibrant and so alive with dark pastille fruits, lavender, violet, chocolate, Morello cherry and fruitcake spice. Round and voluminous with a chalky/powdery mouthfeel and a mash of raspberry, blackberry, blueberry to bring it all home. Quite unbelievable and utterly captivating. Waters Wine […]

Rippon Jeunesse Pinot Noir 2018
$65.00Always the least structured of the line up, but it’s entirely serious and delicious. No evidence of oak and the overall impression is one of vibrancy. Red and dark fruits, bright and very precise, perhaps the most linear of the Pinot Noir’s. There’s some chalky minerality and fine, slightly firm tannins. Mouthwatering acidity really drives […]

Rippon Riesling Jeunesse Young Vine 2019
$41.00This is a tasty number. It shows some light, savoury characters, sourdough dough and the like, but the mainstay is a kaleidoscope of citrus flavours, sweet, sour, juicy, tart, bright, racy, all meshed together in a succulent yet gently slippery way. It has length, stacks of flavour though a soft touch and it finishes bright […]
