Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir 2022
$65.00Light in colour, with scents of an English Summer. Sweet strawberry, raspberry and cherry, with star anise, clove and fennel seeds. Silky, sappy, supple and mineral, very gentle mouthfeel, but totally immersing the palate in flavour. Beautifully toned wine, the fruit so fresh and pure. But it’s the lightness I love, the gentleness and ballerina […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
$69.00There’s a little more aromatic concentration this year methinks. Still resplendent in its ripe white peach and citrus fruits, flecked with spiced oatmeal, clotted cream, meadow wildflowers, grilled cashews, nougat, distant struck flint and nicely judged vanillin oak. Stony and nicely focused on the palate with a briny sapidity and impressive tension between fruit and […]

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 […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir 2023
$69.00There’s a lovely waft of souk-like spice as soon as you approach this year’s release. It suffuses gently through the perfectly formed red cherry, raspberry and red plum fruits. Hints of redcurrants, kombu, leaf litter, crushed stone, sea breeze, charcuterie and ozone. Airy and wonderfully detailed with gentle spicy red fruits, a cloud of powdery […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Small Wonder Chardonnay 2023
$55.00A fantastic vintage for this wine, 2023 delivering the goods across the entire island. The Small Wonder wines tend towards the contemporary, balanced with an abundant, fleshy mid-palate. Cool and tangy citrus, citrus blossom, some green mango and white peach. Super intense and focused; the acidity in lock-step with a touch of mouthwatering phenolics. Such […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Dijon Clone Pinot Noir 2022
$85.00Gilli and Paul Lipscombe believe that the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir is grown at the viticultural edge. Wine lovers looking for deep colour, extract and high acidity will not find it here. Indeed, this is what Pinot Noir was like twenty years ago, and I liken these wines to a combination of Volnay’s austerity […]
