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 […]

Paul Prieur Sancerre Blanc 2020
$75.00Paul Prieur’s Sancerre Blanc comes from estate vineyards, composed of either silex or limestone and blended. But make no mistake; this “entry” level Sancerre is very serious indeed. Medium bodied, sleek, mineral and mouthwatering. White peach lemon, lemon zest, green apple and savoury spice. Tense and pulsating, without the textural pillow of the more expensive […]

Luciano Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba 2021
$95.00Barbara Sandrone describes this as a mini Barolo, as do so many Barolo producers when discussing their nebs, but marketing pitches aside, I don’t think that does it justice. You can have too much of a good (great) thing and the Valmaggiore is so elegant, composed and beautiful, without trying to emulate Barolo. Grown in […]

Farr Rising Gamay 2025
$62.00Deep, dark, and vibrant in the glass. The nose is intense — dark spice, a punch of salinity, savoury herbs and graphite. Beneath the assertive opening sits a perfumed musk and confectionary lift that hints at carbonic maceration. A second pass reveals brown spice — mace and clove — alongside ripe Christmas cherries. The palate […]

Savaterre Frere Cadet Chardonnay 2024
$80.00According to Keppell Smith, this chardonnay is from a neighbour’s vineyard, and if I had to guess, I would think it’s the wonderful Indigo vineyard. It’s even more dialed up than the estate in terms of lifted aromatics and luminosity. Orchard fruit, lime, grapefruit, wood spice, cashew and buttered toast combine on a bright, slick […]

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Grenache 2025
$40.00A warm and dry season, with halved crops, so some younger vine material joined the 1970-planted vines. Whatever the challenges, the result is in the black. Also, no oak this year, being fermented and raised in ceramic, clay and concrete; 15% whole bunch. There’s a deepness to this, and some levity. It feels spicier, earthier, […]
