Traviarti Rosso 2023
$35.00A very different expression this year, 2023 being cool and wet; rounder, softer and juicier. Blackberry, cassis, plum, dark cherry and raspberry, with a savoury squeeze of fennel, bay leaf and dried flowers. Is there an evolution in style, or is it the vintage? I’m thinking the latter. The more gentle structure a product of […]

Fighting Gully Road Verdicchio 2022
$32.00Out of Stock
The white grape of Italy’s Marche region is now in Australia and looking already well at home. Bright lemon-green tinged hues. Saline, sea breeze scent with lemon, quince, straw and a light dusting of lantana florals. Races at a clip across the tongue, zesty, fresh with light tropical fruits and almond skin bite. Super-refreshing if […]

Traviarti Chardonnay 2023
$50.00Aged in 600 litre Stockinger demi muids, it’s a testament to the richness and depth of fruit that the oak plays only a supporting role. 2023 is a cool, wet vintage and this is looking very Chablis-like, with its silky texture, mineral grip, oyster shell and long line of salinity. Medium bodied, rounder in shape […]

A Rodda Triangle Block Chardonnay 2021
$90.00From a tiny patch of vines within Smith’s vineyard. More new wood here and longer time in barrel, so it’s essentially classically styled and not a ‘contemporary’ expression as the other chardonnays are. Beautifully pure aromas of spring jasmine, honeycomb, mandarin, yellow and white peach and very fine oak. Very deep, brooding, fleshy, a masterclass […]

A Rodda Cuvee de Chais 2021
$40.00A blend of 60/22/9/9% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc/petit verdot. Several different parcels of grape varieties, but all wines were pressed to French oak barriques (36% new) for 15 months. While Italian grapes are making headway in Beechworth, this wine reminds you of the classic beauty to be found in the region’s French grapes. The fineness and […]

Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Quite different from the 2021 vintage, being more open and less structured. Very complex, with notes cashew, rockmelon, white peach, spring jasmine, butter white cherry and preserved mango. Succulent and luscious, the palate displays some darker yellow fruit, the acidity tightening the palate and applying a little more sinew and structure. A chardonnay lover’s chardonnay. […]

A Rodda Tete de Cuvee Beechworth Cabernets 2019
$85.00Why oh why don’t we drink more Cabernet? Well this is a blend, Cabernet dominant mind, and that beggars the next question; why don’t we drink more blends? Two for one here, one of Australia’s best Bordeaux blends, alongside Wantirna, Yeringberg and Mount Mary. Beautiful aromatics of cassis, blackberry, mulberry, cranberry, lavender tobacco and sandalwood. […]

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2018
$55.00Tasted alongside the 2017, the 2018 vintage is warmer and drier, and so fuller, with a slightly darker fruit profile and pronounced structure. Gorgeous aromatics of cola, aniseed, cassis, rose, geranium, bitumen and savoury spice. Rich and full flavoured, but in no way heavy and the overall impression is one of translucence and purity. Round […]

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2017
$55.00Tasted alongside the 2018, it’s striking to taste the sites DNA, despite the different seasons and subtly different approach to winemaking. A coolish vintage, wet and humid, so extremely difficult for wine growers, but excellent conditions for Nebbiolo. Very classically styled and reminiscent of Barolo/Barbaresco 20 years ago; translucent and with a russet tinge. Lovely, […]

Fighting Gully Road Smiths Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
$85.00“Black label. A complex and compelling chardonnay. At its heart is a mineral, beeswax and slatey core that lays the foundation for the wine, contributing an effortless, natural balance. To that, the winemaker has brought ripe, citrus and stone fruits, introduced some spicy oak and a nougat-like texture. Brings both power and delicacy to the […]
