Stargazer Pinot Noir 2023
$70.00A beautifully pure, flint-struck Coal River Valley pinot noir from Sam Connew this year, perhaps showing a little more concentration than the previous release but losing none of the grace, detail and inherent drinkability that we love. Red fruits, wild strawberry and dark cherry fruits, five-spice, dried citrus rind, rose petals, hoisin, turned undergrowth and […]

Patrick Sullivan Bull Swamp Chardonnay 2024
$95.00“Medium-full yellow colour; a touch of grassiness at first sniff, then lemon, grapefruit and verbena, the palate refined and intense, seamless and energetic with a laser-beam focus, an impression of richness and a long-lasting finish. Mouth-watering aftertaste. Utterly delicious chardonnay.” 96 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review “While there’s plenty of texture and opulence […]

Tillie J Chardonnay 2024
$40.00From a vineyard in Gruyere on the Valley floor. 10% new oak, and no mlf. A bright yellow green. Nicely poised with its aromas of white peach, flowers, lemon zest and light marine scents.

Domenica Chardonnay 2025
$60.00Spice, cashew nut, custard and nougat aromas, refreshingly clean and shows no reductive traces. The wine is light, crisp and fresh in the mouth, with a stony minerality, very lightly played oak and emphasises the more-ishness and appetising properties of chardonnay. Refreshing acidity cleanses the finish making it a more Chablis-like iteration of the grape. […]

Reed Siren Riesling 2023
$45.00There is something Sarr like here, the flavours complex, explosive and tangy, yet with a texture of silk. For those who love German Rieslings, this sits at about a Spatlese feinherb. Rich, succulent and full bodied with flavours of honeycomb, blackcurrant, cherry, rose, fresh lime, candied lime, peach, passionfruit, oats and grapefruit. Deep, and despite […]

By Farr Shiraz 2024
$110.00This is always so, so good. It’s complex which I love, as so often this grape is one dimensional. There is more than a note of ripe fruit, there is graphite, black olives, it feels silky yet there is a note of ocean spray, a faint yet lovely salinity, then follows the spice. There is […]
