Wild Duck Creek Duck Muck 2021
$505.00A very rare wine of utmost intensity and exceptional quality, rewarding careful cellaring. Duck Muck was first made by a stroke of luck. Some super-ripe Shiraz was picked from Wild Duck Creek’s Original Vineyard and made into wine, which didn’t quite fill a barrel. The barrel was then topped up with Alan’s Cabernet Pressings, being […]

Rob Hall Harriet’s Pinot Noir 2023
$42.00From the ’96-planted Harriet’s Vineyard in Healesville; 35% whole bunches and matured (50%) in 1-year-old puncheons; the remainder in seasoned hogsheads. Bright crimson. Nicely perfumed with aromas of strawberries, redcurrants, musk and a little crushed violet. The mid-weight palate is nicely balanced with both good acidity and gently grippy tannins that will need another six […]

Rob Hall Chardonnay 2023
$30.00A blend of two vineyards. Willowlake (cooler southern end of the valley), and my folks vineyard (south of Healesville). Predominantly fermented in older French hogsheads (300L). There’s flavours of curd and fresh cream, white peach and citrus. It’s leesy and fresh, but with nice weight on the palate. Winemaker’s Notes

Place of Changing Winds Larderdark Chardonnay 2022
$165.00Low yields this vintage, which is a bummer, so not much made but great concentration of fruit weight and power the positive outcome. However, just when you think all the spiced stone fruit, citrus, nougat-like lees and cedary oak will add up to a weighty wine, it does an about-face. The acidity kicks in, reining […]

Vinya Vella Grenache 2022
$65.00Tasted alongside the superb, burly 2021, the differences of vintage plain to see. Beautiful aromas, indeed, more lifted than the 21 with sweet and savoury spices, lavender, violets and a compote of sweet and tangy red, black and briary fruits. Medium to full boded with a lovely poised silken flow, the whole bunch tannin guiding […]

Gembrook Hill Chardonnay 2022
$50.002022 was a cooler, later vintage, perfect for the Gembrook Hill style, of purity, restraint and elegance. Singular in style, with the weight, length and silky texture of Chablis. The flavours though are entirely unique, combining essence of grapefruit, white flowers, kiwifruit, lime and white peach. The balance and tension of elements is incredible, a […]

Timo Mayer Volcanic Syrah 2022
$60.00Syrah isn’t exactly the varietal that comes to mind when you think of the Yarra Valley, but in the past 12 months some of my favourite wines from anywhere have been Yarra Valley Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. More generous than I’d expected, plusher and the whole bunches play their part, but not overly so. […]

Polperro Landaviddy Lane Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00Expressive and floral, with violets, geranium, sweet Middle Eastern spice, red fruits and hints of dark. Lovely smooth flow, very even shape of great width and amplitude. Poached plum and red fruits mingle with spice and autumnal notes. Velvet and bright, the acidity apparent from the beginning, framing and shaping the flow. Such movement and […]

Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

Eisenstone Greenock Shiraz 2021
$85.00Deep, bright red-purple colour; the bouquet likewise bright and fresh, initially with a high-note of freshly-sawn oak, which dissipated somewhat with time in the glass. The palate is bright, intense and elegantly weighted, just making the full-bodied weight category. It’s quite oaky but has good approachability, medium-long carry, and the tannins are ample and very […]

Tillie J Aligote 2024
$40.00Aligote has become trendy, presumably because in Burgundy at least, it’s hard to tell the difference with chardonnay and they are invariably cheaper. Ironically, I find it’s more varietal in Australia, being more linear than chardonnay and fine boned. Tillie J’s is remarkable, a shock really, it’s just so damn good and so damn cheap! […]

Bulman Grenache Rose 2024
$28.00Out of Stock
My absolute favourite grenache producer in Australia, demolishing all cliches and stereotypes of South Australian grenache and red wines in general. It’s hard to believe that he (Mark Bulman) used to make Turkey Flat rose, the wines are so different. Pale in colour, refreshing, crisp and dry. Red summer fruits, sweet and tangy, with a […]

Jasper Hill Lo Stesso Fiano 2024

From estate grown and purchased fruit, Jasper Hill’s Lo Stesso fiano is one of the country’s best. White flowers, pawpaw, creamy and spicey aromatics. Displays all the versatility of fiano, with a lovely pumice-like texture, juicy white and yellow peach, rhubarb, fig, quince and cardamon. Beautifully balanced, a harmonised seam of acidity freshens, brightens and […]

Tripe Iscariot Karridale Chenin Blanc 2023
$30.00The previous vintage put this and its Wilyabrup sibling under the Absolution range, but that name’s been removed from both now – more about the subregion and variety perhaps. Trying the two site-specific chenin blancs side by side offers great insights: this more textural, a bit waxy with pear skins and baked apple, a little […]

Elanto Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

A red wine for a cricket match. Beautiful aromatics, with a compote of English summer red fruits, rhubarb, lavender and sandalwood. Rich, verging on full bodied, the fruit super complex and juicy with blueberry, blackberry, blackcurrant and tangy red fruits. Licorice, baking spices and earth, the wines lusciousness tensioned by fabulous oak and long, tight […]

ChaLou Riesling 2023
$35.00An awesome riesling, the 18gms of residual ensuring balance and a wider range of flavours. Blood orange, grapefruit, white flowers, cherry, blackcurrant and mint. Some pressings have been used, and it’s a winemaking masterstroke, lending the wine a subtle texture. Pure, translucent and very intense, rippling with energy, verve and character. One of Orange’s finest […]

Eastern Peake Griffins Road Pinot Noir 2022

High toned aromatics of sweet and tangy red fruits, savoury spice and sandalwood. The intensity of fruit is mind boggling when you consider the wine’s prettiness and elegance. Pure and mineral, with Serrano and a Amaro/blood orange note on the back palate. Linear in shape, the fruit, tannin and acid finely woven together, harmonising beautifully […]

The richest and deepest of the Pooley pinot’s, the 2023 combining weight, intensity and power. Dark in colour, deep red, with purple hue, with violets, blackberry, mulberry, sweet cherry, dark chocolate, fresh compost and clove. Medium to full bodied, the tannins working to stretch and lengthen the palate. Silky mouthfeel and precise acidity, with layers […]

Chatto Franklinii Pinot Noir 2023
$68.00Out of Stock
The Franklinii is the most delicate, fine-boned china wine from the Chatto range. Wafting and cool, there’s a lot going on, but this is a little less immediate and needs coaxing and a little warming to unfurl. And unfurl it does. Haunting scents of blue, black and red fruits, cured meat, savoury spice and potpourri […]

Helm Tumbarumba Riesling 2023
$35.00The citrus and apple blossom of the bouquet and piercing drive of the palate have Germanic overtones as lime and glittering acidity take control of proceedings. A glorious wine at an enticing price. Tumbarumba is a relatively new region for riesling, but is ideally suited. 96 points – James Halliday (The Weekend Australian) […]

Juxtaposed Smart Vineyard Grenache 2021

Like the Wait, there is a lovely tension between the sweet and savoury elements, with curry leaf, bitter chocolate and the silk , morphing into fine, sandy tannins. A […]

By Farr Tout Pres Pinot Noir 2022
$165.00Deeper in colour than the RP, and upon pouring you cannot help but notice how different the two wines are. Savoury Indian spices, dried flowers, fresh compost, Serrano, cherry, rhubarb, plum and a certain amaro quality. Fleshy and pure, texturally complex, from silk to velvet to black tea tannin. Absolutely on another level to almost […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00Out of Stock
From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]

Gentle Folk Scary Gully Chardonnay 2023

Savoury spice hits you immediately and sits long on the palate, riding the stream of pulpy, silky texture and flow. […]

Tillie J Chardonnay 2023
$42.00The 2023 chardonnay from Tillie J is the best yet, and it’s not just because of a great vintage. There is less of the skin and bones approach, with more richness and mid palate succulence. White flowers, wood spice, fresh and preserved citrus, summer honey and pastry notes. Super intense palate, the flavours and textures […]
