Bellebonne-bis NV Rose
$45.00Strawberries and cream, raspberry and roses, all with wonderful clarity. Brioche notes are offset by that saline quality and again the chalky mouthfeel. So bright and engaging, you can taste the ripe grapes are utterly pristine. Fresh, engaging and incredibly moreish. The best value and most delicious pink fizz at this price in Australia. Waters […]

Jo Landron Brut Atmospheres NV
$50.00Out of Stock
As always this is officially non-vintage (although Jo tells me it is 2017) and is mostly Folle Blanche. It is made in the extra brut style using the méthode traditionnelle. Jo will add a little dosage at disgorgement during the first 24 months, but later disgorgements such as this one receive no such support. It […]

$35.00Fabulous fizz, a new wine for us, and the best inexpensive sparkling we have tried in a very long time. Red fruits mainly, strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, with a lift of grapefruit. Cleansing, mineral and mouthwatering. Some spice notes towards the close and brazil nut, adding textural quality. Super lovely. Waters Wine Co

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2020
$80.00Out of Stock
One of the great Spatlese vineyards, this is richer, deeper and more exotic than the cooler Juffer. Ripe fruits of paw paw, apricot, yellow peach lime, white flowers, and dried herbs. Super fine palate, slender and tender, but with waves of decadent fruit. Woven acidity that is always present, but plays a support act to […]

Akutain Cosecha Rioja 2019
$40.00Aged 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 […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Spätlese 2020
$60.00From the upper storeys ,and therefore cooler, of the Brauneberger Juffer. Fine and tense palate with gorgeous stone and citrus fruits, gardenia and bergamot.

Apogee Deluxe Vintage Rose 2019
$80.00A fuller, fleshier, silky rendition of a sparkling rose, which suits me just fine. Lovely colour, with aromas of lavender, red summer fruit compote, ruby grapefruit and cherry pie. It’s built differently to the Deluxe Brut Vintage, being more linear, more tightly structured and less round in shape. Ripe fleshy red fruits are tensioned by […]

Courabyra 805 Vintage Rose 2017
$60.00Out of Stock
Arguably one of my favourite/top sparkling wine producers in Australia, which pretty much means anywhere in the world. Beautiful, floral and pretty, sweet berry fruited perfume. Lightly creamy texture, fine, bright fizz in the mix, frisky, green apple acidity, more of the sweet-ish red berry characteristics, a good squirt of cranberry juice and even some […]

Peter Lauer Ayler Riesling Fass 6 Senior 2020
$55.00A richer feinherb than most of us would, with greater depth and texture than most of us would be used to. Medium to full bodied, rippling with juicy ripe fruits, saltbush, mint and lemon preserve. Just off-dry, the depth of the palate is offset by subtle sweetness and the Saar’s rapier acidity. Remarkable wine. Waters […]

Apogee Deluxe Vintage Brut 2020
$70.00Lovely, clear colour, somewhere between sunflower yellow and gold. Wafting aromatics, I almost wish I had a white wine glass, rather than a Champagne flute, to capture the spilling complexity. Hazelnut, honey, stewed apple, spring jasmine, cherry, gingernut biscuit and lime. Rich and full bodied, buoyed by frothing freshness, a marvelous combination of weight, power […]

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 […]

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste 2017
$295.00Considering some of the casks spent up to 2 months on skins, this is remarkably pure with extremely fine tannins. Compelling aromas of cassis, tar, cherry cola, leather polish, nutmeg, liquorice, cigar box, roses, cherry and violet. Tighter than the Le Vigne, and I prefer this in 2017, although usually Le Vigne gets my nod. […]
