Haddow and Dineen Grain of Truth Pinot Gris 2022
$50.00First tasted, amongst previous releases at the Israeli restaurant Ezra. Immediately apparent was that this is Australia’s greatest pinot gris, a varietal we seldom drink. Until we tasted the Haddow and Dineen. Soaring aromatics, the whole wine oozes honey, lavender, blood orange, pink grapefruit, yellow peach, cumin and fenugreek. Rich, full bodied and succulent, with […]

Giant Steps Tarraford Chardonnay 2020
$60.00A soft, delicate, restrained wine with aromas of white flowers and a whiff of almond meal. Cashew-nutty too. A more straightforward style and a trifle short on the finish compared to other vineyards. It’s remarkably backward and restrained considering it’s the lowest altitude vineyard and earliest harvested. 92 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review […]

MMAD Shiraz 2022
$75.00This is a seriously impressive release, showcasing winemaker Adam Wadewitz’s learnings from the first vintage and the bounty of full viticultural control. The old-vine fruit could easily handle about one-third whole bunch, a Wadewitz favourite. And that impact is profoundly positive, weaving in spicy, smoky notes and complexing tannins to provide exceptional tension without greenness. […]

Mayford Chardonnay 2022
$44.00This is an impressive follow up to the 2021 release, ratcheting up the quality another notch…the words “best ever” are tempting to utter. It is a tightly structured, restrained and highly expressive Chardonnay that will age beautifully. Scented with fragrant citrus blossom, grilled nuts, honeysuckle, crème brulee and warm brioche. The palate offers texture and a […]

Battles Shiraz 2022
$35.00Clean and vibrant, lifted aromatics are one of the hallmarks of this Shiraz. Pretty florals of purple flowers and violets are underpinned by blackberry and red cherry fruit. The 2022 Battles Shiraz palate is full bodied with a deep core of dark fruits and a persistent tannin structure, which helps the wine draw long, with […]

Juxtaposed Wait Vineyard Grenache 2021
$50.00Sumptuous grenache, with incredibly intense aromatics, perfectly pitched palate weight, balance and tension. There is a tangy sweetness to the hedge fruit compote; blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, plum and raspberry. Certainly darker and sweeter fruit than the Smart vineyard grenache and this is offset by savoury elements. Chocolate orange, fennel, baking spices and Jacaranda flower drop. […]

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 […]

Spinifex Syrah 2021
$30.00Syrah from a selection of vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys, judicious use of whole clusters, matured on light lees in a combination of large-format vessels for around 8 months prior to bottling.

Syrahmi Demi Shiraz 2021
$32.00Beautiful wine. Plum pie and roasted nuts, trails of woodsmoke and undergrowth, leather and a whisper of truffle. It’s complex, fluid, medium in weight and confident in the way it traverses its complex terrain. It will mature well but, there’s really no need to wait as it’s joyous right now. 95 Points – Campbell Mattinson, […]

Eisenstone McDonald Vineyard Marananga Shiraz 2021
$115.00Deep, dense colour with a powerful, concentrated bouquet of blood plum, blackberry and ironstone, hints of chocolate/mocha, the palate likewise concentrated and essency, with density and saturation, and the tannins are pervasive, mouth-coating and gently chewy. Quite a lot of oak, but it finds balance on palate in spite of its massive proportions. 96 Points […]

Bloody Hill Villages Pinot Gris 2023
$42.00Terrific and very complex, particularly considering the price. Whole bunch pressed into old barrels and fermented dry. Rich and full bodied with fresh flowers, lime, honey, nashi pear, dried pineapple, passionfruit, apricot and spice. Lovely curve and flesh, with invigorating freshness. Waters Wine Co

Bloody Hill Villages Rose 2023
$32.00European in style. At least in the sense that it’s herbal, savoury, spicy and salty. Lifted red fruits, but it really is about those herbal elements and some lanolin fluffiness on the midpalate. Finishes mildly textural and slightly saline. Mouthwatering and delicious. Give it some food! Waters Wine Co

Mac Forbes Woori Yallock Chardonnay 2022
$65.00Tight like a tiger. Beautiful expression of Woori Yallock, very complex and animated. Lemon, lime, mandarin, citrus blossom, zest and preserved citrus. Wide plane across the palate, yet linear and focused, with just the right amount of flesh. Salty, long and unashamedly contemporary. Waters Wine Co From two vineyards in Woori Yallock. A few […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Junction Village Pinot Noir 2022
$65.00Dark fruits and rounder in shape than the other village wines. Blackberry, cassis, blueberry, cherry and Christmas spice. The sweet fruit is counterbalanced by savoury notes of clove, cured meats and bay leaf. Terrific depth and energy, remarkable how such an effortless drinking wine can have so much tension, personality and structure. Waters Wine Co […]

Gentle Folk Monomeith Pinot Noir 2022
$65.00Same winemaking as the Scary Gully Pinot Noir, with 20% whole bunches and 15% new oak. Elemental, angular and slippery, a totally different expression. Gorgeous aromatics of sweet and tangy red fruits, boysenberry, Five Spice, clove and fennel. A very Adelaide Hills expression. Medium bodied, lifted, with lovely tangy tones, the acidity a greater feature, […]

Place of Changing Winds Syrah No. 2 2021 (1500ml)
$90.00Animated and floral, with whole bunches evident, but not defining. Compote of brambly fruit, lavender, mulberry, blackberry, rhubarb, cinnamon and clove. Cool and sleek, super bright, fresh and intense, the longer elevage seemingly to heighten the elements rather than dull them. Incredible detail, herb, spice and fruit, beautifully flowing, long, silky and fine, tannins al […]

Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Marsanne 2021 (1500ml)
$120.00Quite different from previous releases, being deeper, fleshier, more complex and textural. Marvelously aromatic, a fiery opal of colour and flavour. Pineapple, grilled nuts, lime, mandarin blossom, lees-ey, smokey, mango, pawpaw, guava and apricot. Rich and savoury, spicy and long, flavours flirting and flitting with time in the glass. Just wonderful. Waters Wine Co […]
