Holyman Chardonnay 2024
$60.00Only a tiny amount of this wine is made each year, and very little ever leaves Tasmania. It’s a pure, confident expression of site – built to reward patience in the cellar. Aromatically, it opens with white peach, and sweet citrus notes. The palate is taut and zingy, carrying through long on the finish. Oak […]

Corymbia Rocket’s Vineyard Tempranillo Malbec 2023
$40.00“Love this drink as it’s savoury, spicy, intriguing, delicious and more. A perfect counterplay between acidity and tannins, fruit and savoury inputs, the reductive winemaking creating part of the latter. Dark cherries and kirsch, raspberries all dusted with brown spice, nori, slatey with a distinct ferrous note. The mid-weighted palate is juicy and tangy yet […]

Tripe Iscariot Kroos Chenin Blanc 2020
$40.00It’s racy and juicy, with more upfront acidity and drive than its Karridale sibling, which is a much more textural wine. Super spicy with fresh and preserved lemons, lime zest, lemon sorbet acidity and neat phenolics adding shape as much as a smidgen of texture. Mouth-watering and vibrant; just another cracking chenin blanc from a […]

It’s defiantly Barossa, and a totally different expression to the Marananga, as it’s supposed to be. More red fruited, with cherries, stewed plum, blackberry, blueberry and […]

Gentle Folk Pinot Noir 2024
$45.00“While not straying from its usual form, this release is slightly more savoury and earthy – an honest blend of fruit from all the estate vineyards, plus a little addition from Uraidla. Bramble and moss, orange rind and dried fig – this is fruit broken open to the air of a cold autumnal dusk. It’s […]

Patrick Sullivan Woori Yallock Chardonnay 2024
$75.00“Fruit off Lusatia Park vineyard, thank you very much. As is the Patrick Sullivan way, all the single-site chardonnays are made the same – whole-bunch pressed to tank, fermented in French oak barriques (30% new) aged 11 months, plus mlf with strategic lees stirring (not much). This is the most aromatic of the four wines […]

$350.00From 0.51 ha of vines in 2 separate plots planted 1993 and 1965, one in the steepest stoniest part close to Blagny which contributes excellent acidity and structure, the other part is from lower down where the soil is richer and this part gives greater richness and depth to the wine. This shows wonderful intensity […]

Crystallum Mabalel Pinot Noir 2024
$85.00Peter-Allan Finlayson avoids using any whole clusters on Mabalel, as the Elandskloof stems tend to be greener and less lignified. Very much a cool climate style, it has impressive poise, focus and elegance, sappy redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, perfumed 20% new wood, appealing zip and minerality and the structure to evolve gracefully in bottle.

$40.00Sourced from one of the top, limestone-laden vineyards in Rheinhessen, Seehof’s Morstein is fine, dry Riesling.

Collemattoni Rosso do Montalcino 2020

Made from 100% Sangiovese and aged for 14 months in Slovenian oak, the ageing has burred some of Sangiovese’s angular structure, without sacrificing any brightness or energy. Tangy and pure with fruits of blackberry, cassis, […]

Moreau-Naudet Chablis Les Pargues Vieilles Vignes 2022
$110.00Diam. Les Pargues is a Chablis lieu-dit on a ridge between the Montmains and Vosgros Premiers Crus. It has the same exposure as Vaillons and Montmains, so it’s a handy site. The story goes that it was initially classified 1er Cru (pre-AOC) before being largely abandoned during the war when there was a labour shortage. This meant it missed out on the status it […]
