Yangarra GSM 2021

The palate offers vibrantly fleshy style with impressive concentration of raspberry and blueberry flavors. Fresh, with structure and drive. Drink over the next eight years. 94 points […]

Bondar Junto GSM 2022
$30.00A great makeup of majority grenache (62%) with a smattering of shiraz, mataro and cinsault, reminiscent of a classic southern Rhône blend, albeit, with a lighter touch. As good, too. Effusive blue- and red-fruit allusions teem along rails of gentle tannins, a burr of whole-bunch spice as seasoning. A sweep of maritime salinity at the […]

Swinney Mourvedre 2021
$45.00An underappreciated variety in Australia, but I have no doubt that we will soon be tasting a Farvie Mourvedre, based on the quality of this bottle. Classic aromatics of smokey, earthy, campfire, camphor and dark fruits. Again in 2021 the shape is so different from previous vintages, rounder and somehow a little bit grander. But […]

Domaine de Marcoux Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2019
$50.00The very definition of unforced power, supreme elegance and perfect balance. Intense bouquet of strawberry, raspberry, plum, blueberry, clove and thyme. Silken mouthfeel, sleek and the flavours travelling to the outer reaches of the palate. There’s a buoyancy, in contrast to effortless smoothness, the carry is long and accentuated by Marcoux’s trademark velvet. Tremendous value, […]

Yangarra GSM Museum Release 2016
$35.00A 54/24/18% blend, wild yeast open-fermented, matured for 10 months in used French oak. Magical, deep crimson; as devotees of Chateau Rayas, and others from the Rhone Valley will attest, grenache has many faces, the most admired in that part of France, its serious, long-lived, complex and structured single varietal pose. But it’s usually in […]

Bondar Monastrell 2022
$34.00Bondar’s Monastrell (Mourvedre) is a limited release (only 100 dozen are made). It comes from fruit off the Lacey vineyard in Willunga, where rocky clay loam soils lie over the revered Kurrajong geology formation. The 15-year-old vines here are farmed with minimal inputs, and the winemaking follows a similar path, with hand-picking, no additions, and […]

Vanguardist Mourvedre 2021
$65.00Charming is the first thought that comes to mind upon tasting the 2021 Vanguardist Mourvèdre. Absolutely gorgeous aromatics of fennel rhubarb, licorice, blackcurrant, spiced plum and custard. The fruits so sweet, but in no way sickly or jubey. The palate’s so fine, the flavours so pure the texture supple and translucent. Blueberry, blackberry, sweet and […]

Vanguardist Mourvedre 2022
$65.00About as refined as you could imagine, with immense detail, poise, balance and beautiful texture. Like the Grenache this is very aromatic, but with black, briary and red fruits, flecked with potpourri, black olive and garrigue herbs. The tertiary element is in no way rustic and at the forefront is perfectly ripe, cool fruit. Texturally […]

Domaine de Ferrand Vieilles Vignes 2021
$45.0090% Grenache with Syrah/Mourvèdre/Cinsault. Planted in the 1920’s The 2021 Côtes Du Rhône ‘Vieilles Vignes’ which is from very old vines (important with Grenache) literally across the border of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP is by far the best example of this wine that I have seen, like his CNDP above. This is from a […]

Swinney Mourvedre 2022
$45.00This is a variety that is finding a safe, comfortable home in Frankland River. Lovely perfumed red fruits on the nose displaying a slightly earthy, dusty raspberry and light plummy character. The palate is soft and supple. It’s medium weight with a fine chalky ironstone thing treading through the palate. The cradle of tannins […]

Domaine de Marcoux Chateauneauf-du-Pape Rouge 2019
$150.00The stamp of Marcoux is on all their reds, and it’s a delight to taste them together. The flavour and textural profiles are similar, and here we have the pinnacle; deeper, concentrated, woven complexity and lacy structure. Vivid and intense, with an immediate presence. Extremely complex nose of red fruits, brambly fruit, petrichor, campfire, violets […]
