Torres Celeste Ribera del Duero Crianza 2018
$40.00Out of Stock
Fascinating deep, dark cherry red colour. Intense, concentrated aromas of blackberry and blueberry fruit, revealing notes of ripe figs and an exquisite smoky, graphite streak. Velvety and flavourful on the palate with fine-grained tannins. Oak ageing endows the wine with fine notes of bitter cocoa and coffee. At 895 metres altitude you can almost touch […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2019
$75.00Gorgeous nose of creaming soda, nutmeg, cherry, raspberry and thyme. Plush and round in shape, with strong oak influence and some tertiary notes poking through. Aniseed, sandalwood, cinnamon, vanilla and sweet Jamon. These I suspect will become more prominent with time. Utterly idiosyncratic and a beautiful introduction to traditional Rioja. Waters Wine Co 93 points […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2016
$120.00Savory and complex with dried orange peel, cedar and plenty of sweet spices, walnuts, caramel, dried mushrooms and pine needles. Shows maturity here, with a medium body and superb freshness. Incredibly long finish with lots of truffle and walnut. Lasts over a minute. Very complete now, but you can still hold it. 95 points – James […]

Holly’s Garden Pinot Gris 2022
$30.00Stunning contemporary pinot gris. Pear, apple, honeysuckle, apricot and savoury spice. Medium bodied, but packed with presence and flavour, I love that this has not been taken too far. There’s a feeling of restraint despite the abundance. Some creamy notes, custard almost, that reminds me of apple pie, with some rhubarb thrown in for good […]

Akutain Reserva Rioja 2017
$80.00One of the finest traditional Reservas on the market and incredible value. If this was Bordeaux or Burgundy, the price would be much higher. Blackcurrant, plum, cranberry, raspberry, aniseed, tobacco, vanilla, violets and cola. Medium to full bodied, incredibly fresh and vibrant, certainly firm and serious. Flecks of savoury spice, dried fruit and firm mineral […]

Ravensworth Regional Tinto 2022
$32.00Out of Stock
From fruit grown in Hilltops, predominantly Tempranillo, with lesser quantities of Grenache and Mataro. Yes it’s young and made simply, but the 2022 Tinto is a serious bistro/café/restaurant wine. Dark cherry, blackberry, cherry cola, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate and violets. Tight and fleshy, with rugged mineral tannins. Buoyant and fresh, had this with Chinese style […]

Polperro Estate Pinot Gris 2022
$45.00When most of us think of the Mornington Peninsula, we think of pinot noir and chardonnay. Pinot Gris/grigio should be added to the list, the best in Australia comes from here. Think Quealy, think Polperro. I wouldn’t normally “love” a pinot gris from anywhere, but this is stunning. Pear, smoke, mushroom, kiwi fruit, white peach, […]

Quealy Balnarring Pinot Grigio 2021
$35.00Deeper than the estate wine and an uptick in intensity, but I love that it’s still fresh and vital, not over-concentrated or over-worked. Pungent nose, with white peach, Kanzi apple, grapefruit, apricot and white flowers. Intense, thrashing palate of citrus and stone fruits, firm pear, savoury spice and a subtle layer of cream. Structured and […]

Akutain Cosecha Rioja 2019
$40.00Out of Stock
Aged in neutral oak, this is brimming with bright fruit, but you can still see some tertiary notes, denoting traditional Rioja. Fruit driven and medium bodied with blackberry, plum, raspberry, tobacco, aniseed and cut flowers. The fruit is sweet and tangy, buoyed by sandy, grippy tannins and mouthwatering acidity. An absolute delight to drink. One […]

Pesquera Reserva Especial 2010
$100.00Deep ruby. Explosive, oak-spiced aromas of cherry compote, blackberry, vanilla and potpourri, with a hint of smoked meat slowly emerging with aeration. Smooth, sweet and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and blackcurrant flavors that are given lift and spine by juicy acidity. Shows a sexy floral quality on the long, smoky finish, which […]

Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2015
$65.00The most sweetly fruited of traditional Rioja, with rich cassis, raspberry, morello cherry, sweet vanilla, sandalwood and oiled leather. The oak is perfectly integrated, so often it’s raw in traditional Rioja upon release, but not here. Flavours folded, glistening, melting tannins ever present, that soften towards the close. It’s very hard to resist now, so […]

Pesquera Ribera del Duero Tinto Crianza 2019
$65.00A real mouthful of warm, fruit-coated deliciousness. Just about the richest Crianza on the market. Seductive dark fruits of cassis, plum and dark cherry. Lavender, cola, sweet liquorice, dark chocolate and coal. Still there’s vibrancy, almost playful, amongst the weight and heft of forceful, hessian-like tannins. Balanced and long, and the overall impression is that […]

Pesquera Ribera del Duero Reserva 2019

These are high elevation sites (2,400 feet) and the vines between 30 and 40 years of age. The soils are poor and well-drained and are composed of sand and gravel over […]

Kerri Greens Late Harvest Clementine 2019
$40.00Out of Stock
A little something special, produced in a year of abundance and borrowing strongly from Lucas Alsatian heritage. Extremely late harvested, moderately botrytis affected fruit. Gewurz from the 100 hunts road vineyard; Gris from the Tussie Mussie vineyard. Pressed using an extended cycle to tank, settled, racked and left to ferment wild in a single old […]

La Rioja Alta Finca Martelo 2015
$110.00Intensely complex and aromas of blueberry, sweet raspberry, dark cherry, blackberry, lavender soap, lavender wood and five spice. Boom! So much energy and muscle, super tight, tense and coiled. Even the tannins are complex, sleek, firm and finally, powdery. Deep core and not the concentration of sweet fruit, but a deep core of savoury, spicy, […]

Condado De Haza Ribera del Duero Crianza 2018
$50.00Perhaps a little less plush than than the Pesquera Crianza’s, with more earth and ferrous notes. It’s not rustic, a little less fine perhaps, but I love it’s burliness. Spice laden, dark fruits, some crunchy red ones too, lavender wood, smoke and bay leaf. Presence of chew, the tannins a rougher velvet and a vibrancy […]

Mayford Tempranillo 2021
$44.00Wow! What a comeback! After losing her entire 2020 vintage to smoke taint, Eleana Anderson is back, big time. Tempranillo, always a Mayford highlight, shines in the fabulous ’21 vintage. Great vibrancy of colour in deep purple hues. Offers up a striking perfume of well-defined dark cherries, plum, earth, dried rosemary, dusty cocoa, red licorice. […]

Quealy Balnarring Pinot Grigio 2023
$35.00A blend of two sites managed by Quealy, this is textbook pinot grigio, really good. Flavoursome with wild herbs, flinty with a mouth-watering briny character adding to the appealing chewy phenolics. White stone fruit, glacé lemon and dried pear – there’s a lot in this and it’s complex but not at the expense of drinkability. […]

Valenciso 10 Anos Rioja 2012
$110.00The subtle, elegant and complex 2012 10 Años Después (10 years after!) matured for four years in concrete followed by four more years in Caucasian oak barrels that polished it. It has an incredible 15% alcohol, which doesn’t show at all, and the wine comes through as balanced and elegant, powerful too but with no […]
