Christophe et Fils Petit Chablis 2025

Domaine Tempier Bandol Rose 2025
$95.00The grapes used to make this rosé come from selected parcels where the vines are on average 20 years old. The yields are low, which explains the intense concentration and distinct expression of each varietal in this wine. The presence of Mourvedre gives this wine its strong character, balance and complexity. An intense fruit and […]

Dappled ‘Appellation’ Chardonnay 2025
$45.00Aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, mille-feuille and toasted nuts. The palate is quite savoury with salty lime freshness, but the weight and texture builds with time and you’ll start to see the trademark juicy stone fruit flavours.

Rieslingfreak No 5 Clare Valley Off Dry Riesling 2026
$25.00Perfumed and inviting – red apple, white peach and mandarin, with a lift of orange blossom and honeysuckle.

Some of the most […]

By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2024
$110.00Every year, it’s a tussle to decide my preference; Sangreal or Farrside. A warmer, even vintage 2024, without extremes and there seems a certain evenness to the two pinots, they are so well appointed. Another feature of this release is their apparent openness, so much so that I cannot remember these two wines tasting so […]

Traviarti Nebbiolo 2022
$75.00The 2022 vintage, of which we bought up the entirety of stock that was left, is showing magnificently. 2022 was a cool and wet season, ensuring a very late harvest, excellent for Nebbiolo and the development of long, complex tannins. Aromas of cool and tangy red and hedge fruits, baking spices, lavender and rose, and […]

Bondar Violet Hour Shiraz 2024
$30.00Andre Bondar and Selina Kelly approach McLaren Vale shiraz like young renovators who’ve just inherited an old mansion from an eccentric old aunt. What was once dark has had the light let in, abundant artifacts and ornate over-stuffing replaced with cleaner lines and more open space. It’s still the beautiful place it always was, but […]

Home Hill Estate Pinot Noir 2023
$55.00This is a beguiling and dreamy wine. Translucent, deep ruby/magenta with a harmonious bouquet of dark, jubey fruit, subtle florals, spicy rolling tobacco and wet stone. The nose certainly promises a lot and the palate delivers in spades. Smooth, soft, full and ripe – red and dark cherries mingle with chalky, ultra-fine tannins with enough […]

Place of Changing Winds Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir 2024
$140.00A phenomenally individualistic wine, and the most emblematic Pinot Noir from Place of Changing Winds. Tension runs through every seam: sleek and structured, with high-toned blueberry, hedgerow fruits, cut flowers, Indian spices, vanilla and mint, balancing sweet and savoury. There’s a brooding, elemental quality beneath a shroud of smoky, flinty reduction, hinting at greater beauty […]

$109.00From a 12-row block of P58 clone planted in ’76. Matured in French hogsheads and puncheons (40% new); 70% mlf. A very bright green gold.

Crawford River Riesling 2024

Pokolbin Vintners Pokolbin Mountain Light Dry Red 2025
$38.00Hunter Shiraz doing things its own way. Intensely fragrant and wonderfully cool-site in character, with lavender, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, earth, mace and liquorice. Then comes the freshness – tangy red fruits, chalky tannins, brilliant natural acidity and a seriously mouth-puckering hit of limestone minerality. Elegant but far from lightweight, this is all precision, energy and […]

Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2024
$50.00Twelve months in 300L French Tronçais barrels followed by three months on lees in tank before bottling.

La Battistelle ‘Battistelle’ Soave Classico 2023
