Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay 2023

Eastern Peake Original Block Pinot Noir 2022
$125.00Sourced from the estate’s 1983 plantings, with only one barrel produced (a mere 22 dozen released to the public). The linger of flavour here is excellent. This pinot noir puts some runs on the board and then some. It’s an earthen, spicy, cherry-and-strawberry-accented wine, with cedarwood oak, mint and sweetly extravagant herb notes pulsing throughout. […]

Craiglee Shiraz 2019
$60.00Firm classic Craiglee, a style that hasn’t wavered for at least the past 20 years. Blackberry, mulberry, cherry, blackcurrant, baking spices, tobacco, cigar box and bay leaf. Firm and savoury, still very young at this stage – you can smell, feel and taste the tannins. A nod to the great reds of Valpolicella, sweet, savoury, […]

Kenny Wine Polish Hill River Riesling 2023
$35.00What I love about this wine is its generosity and juiciness. It’s not just another limey, palate stripping Riesling from the Clare. There’s weight, texture and power and the acidity is not the main feature. Citrus fruits, white flowers, salty and creamy. Curvaceous and precise with gin herbs, bath salts, tangy citrus, orchard fruits filling […]

Place of Changing Winds Tradition White 2022

According to Remi, the components are selections of the various ferments that are the most fruit forward. Rich, luscious, full bodied and wildly complex. Honeysuckle, yellow fruits, preserved and fresh citrus, […]

Gembrook Hill JKM Pinot Noir 2022
$95.00Two barrels only, about a third whole bunches. The DNA of the estate in overdrive. Sweet and tangy red fruits of raspberry, English strawberry, plum, cranberry, dark cherry and rhubarb. Lovely succulent palate of incredible textural complexity. Cashmere and slick, yet the finish is bookended by firm skinsy tannins. The fruit is abundant, but what […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese GOLDKAPSEL Museum Release 2011
$330.00Candied, spiced apple and overripe Persian melon dominate the Prum 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese gold capsule, with honeyed impingement both aromatically and on the palate reinforcing the sense of relative opacity and rounded richness that the other Graachers in this year’s collection displayed. Here the sense of delicacy is nearly weightless; intriguing and enticing […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2021 (375ml)
$100.00“The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is concentrated and fresh on the aromatic nose that is immediately present but also still reductive. Ripe stone fruit aromas intermingle with notes of crushed stones on a deep foundation of aromas from the soil and the fruit of old vines. On the palate, the 2021 is very fine but […]

David Moreau Santenay Rouge 1er Cru Beaurepaire 2021
$145.00The 2021 Santenay Beaurepaire 1er Cru has a clean and pure bouquet with precise and pure red cherry and strawberry fruit, wilted rose petal and light violet aromas percolating through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, a little foursquare in style. A small amount of chalkiness towards the finish is detailed, though […]

Weiser-Kunstler Trabener Gaispfad Riesling 2018
$85.00Generally preferring sweeter styled Mosel wines, it’s always a thrill to love the unexpected. Immensely complex, deep and brooding with aromas of gooseberry, kiwi, lime, ruby grapefruit, spring jasmine smoke and earth. Absorbing and immense, it’s hard to grasp the sheer depth and breadth of this wine, yet without heaviness or unnecessary structure. Silkily textured, […]

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020
$320.00Out of Stock
“Pale lemon colour. A smoky reduction which is far from unpleasant. The fruit starts to come out, indeed offering excellent depth of fruit, some yellow plums but still fresh, plenty of weight behind and good length.” 91-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts has a crisp, precise, gunflint-tinged bouquet […]

Enveloping with red fruits, the most in this lineup, blackberry, mulberry, chocolate, vanilla, fennel and wood char. Round in shape, fleshy and driven with lively acidity and lacey, chalky tannins.

Benjamin Leroux Pommard 2019
$168.00Natural cork. With both this cuvée and the wonderful Rugiens-Hauts, Leroux is back in Pommard with a bang. The 2019 is a blend of Les Vaumuriens (high on the slope) and Les Cras (on the lower slope), both vineyards lying on the Volnay side of the village. Leroux notes the cooler, hillside fruit from Les Vaumuriens brings freshness and balance to the blend. […]

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$145.00“This was a very good vintage in Margaret River after the slightly more challenging ’21. This has the refined elegance and prettiness that is the Moss Wood DNA. The colour is quite pale compared to some previous vintages, but don’t be fooled into thinking this is some shrinking violet. Violets, yes, but plenty more in […]

Juliard Shiraz 2021
$35.00For those who think shiraz is boring, think again. Here, the grape arrives in a full ball of energy, all plummy and red-fruited, peppery and bright. Pristine fruit carries the wine, together with subtle baking spices, cocoa powder and sweet earthy notes, threaded brightly together in juicy tannins. Speaks of a varietal purity and lighter-bodied […]

Riggs & Wiggs Cote Vineyard Shiraz 2024
$50.00Made from dry-grown shiraz planted on a north-facing slope, with the grapes fermented in 130-year-old open vats from the original 1800s Côte d’Or winery. It has excellent energy and vibrancy, aided by the co-fermentation of 5% semillon. As well as fixing colour and providing lift, the semillon moonlights as a whole-bunch imposter, introducing an intriguing […]

Lifted aromatics with lavender, sweet and tangy red fruits and savoury spice. Light to medium bodied, with fantastic concentration of flavours, perky acidity and soft, fine tannins.

Curator Seppeltsfield Shiraz 2022
$60.00From vines planted in the 1950’s, a single vineyard. 18% whole bunches, the rest whole berries, wild fermented and basket pressed to French oak, 15% new for 18 months. It’s defiantly Barossa, and a totally different expression to the Maranaga, as it’s supposed to be. More red fruited, with cherries, stewed plum, blackberry, blueberry and […]

Curator Marananga Shiraz 2022
$60.00From the best plots from the estates’s own vineyard, this is a glorious Marananga expression. 10% whole bunches, unhurried wild ferment and aged for 18 months in French oak, 20% new. Incredible wine, showcasing that detail, tension and freshness can live alongside rich, full bodied hedonism. Absolutely full boded, with lashings of lavender, violet, sweet […]

A wine to buy a dozen bottles of, as there is […]

Bondar Midnight Hour Shiraz 2023
$45.00A great vintage for this wine, but let’s be honest, they’ve all been pretty great! A cooler year, allowing greater hang time and the development of more complex flavours. Rich and full bodied, with a certain weightlessness. Supple and silky, with a dark fruit profile, violets, sweet earth, chocolate and tangy red fruits driving from […]

Bondar Violet Hour Shiraz 2023
$30.00The value here has always been super keen. That’s as true as ever with this iteration from a cool year, typically lifted and fragrant but also with some serious import. A tick up from mid-weight, this is spicy and peppered ferruginous minerality, along with blackberry, dark cherries, tapenade, violet, cassia, bay, coffee bean, and salted […]

Domaine A Petit A Cabernets 2014 Museum Release
$70.00St Emillion inspired, but for me, reminiscent of the haunting, autumnal wines of Pessac Leognan. Beautifully complex aromas of blackcurrant, cranberry, mulberry, blackberry, violets, garrigue herbs, tobacco leaf, mint and cocoa. Pure ripe fruit, supple initially, before the sensual squeeze of chewy, tobacco laced tannins. Very complex interplay of savoury and fruit notes with squid […]
