Rieslingfreak No 3 Clare Valley Riesling 2023
$25.00Excellent value here as this Clare Riesling delivers admirable complexity of chalk, citrus, white pepper, and stony complexity delivered with precision and focus. It then builds more exotic lavers of musk sticks, lychee and sherbet flavours all kept in line by a bolt of fresh acidity, with excellent volume lingering over a sustained finish. A […]

Rieslingfreak No 5 Clare Valley Off Dry Riesling 2023
$25.00Beautiful floral, honeysuckle, lime, talc scented, highly aromatic bouquet: there’s the sense that the residual sugar is lifting the fruit, which is often the way in off-dry and semi-sweet style rieslings. Exquisite aromas, a note of stone-fruits, the taste off-dry but you would never describe it as sweet. It dries off towards the back-palate with […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc 2019
$55.00100% Chenin Blanc.

Bernard Baudry Chinon Le Clos Guillot 2019
$80.00If ever you were in any doubt about the capability of Cabernet Franc to stand alone, you need to taste this wine. Sleek, sappy and firm, with a vigour that forever holds its grip.

Bernard Baudry Le Domaine Chinon 2019
$45.00Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. Le Domaine hails from Baudry’s high-sited vines on the plateau above Chinon’s première côte. The lion’s share of the fruit comes from vines with an average age of around 35 years, planted on the local sandy, limestone-rich soils (known as millarges), while between 20 and 30% is drawn from slightly younger vines on gravelly soils. […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Grezeaux 2019
$60.00The very definition of Cabernet Franc, perhaps with a little blurring of the edges. Cassis and bramble fruit, with a touch of cocoa and kirsch, violet and lavender wood. Focused, sleek and linear, the domain’s trademark. Architectural and sculptured, with a lovely mid-palate stuffing and driving intensity. Not a hair out of place. Claret-esque. Waters […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Granges 2020
$40.00Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. Les Granges is the Baudry family’s vin de bistro—a delicious, entry-level Cabernet Franc designed for early drinking. It comes mostly from the Estate’s younger vines (planted between 1985 and 1988) grown on the alluvial gravel soils of the terraces by the river Vienne. This is a terroir that loves long periods of dry and […]

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. […]
