$65.00A single-vineyard wine planted with MV6 and Abel clones in the late ’90s; 25% whole bunches. A bright, medium crimson.

Tim Smith MGS 2024
$30.00Another testament to the Smith touch, that rare ability to overdeliver without trying too hard. Black plums and blueberries; a fine, sour cherry edge. Sarsaparilla, dark earth, licorice, baked quince. Sucking copper coins through split lips. Plush and slippery on the palate, disciplined by beautifully gritty tannins.

$100.00The By Farr Shiraz is amongst Australia’s best and most singular; a great site expression. Rich, concentrated, seamless and controlled.

There is great tension between the sweet and […]

Pooley Butchers Hill Chardonnay 2023

Rich, full bodied and round, underpinned by a scaffold of apple and lemon driven acidity. Brioche, apple strudel, acacia honey and cream fill out the fleshy, pulpy mid palate, before finishing […]

Jean-Paul and Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2023
$190.00“Benoît calls his Mont de Milieu ‘my little Condrieu’ because of its ripeness and ripe aromas of apricot, nectarine and quince with hints of honeysuckle. Despite the ripe fruit there is also a sense of firm minerality on the lingering finish. The grapes are from a south-facing site, which is among the right bank’s sunniest; […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Junction Chardonnay 2022
$65.00This is the style of chardonnay that put Mac Forbes on the map – tight, saline, intense and mouthwatering. Green apple, citrus – fresh, preserved, and acacia honey, pink grapefruit and white peach. Super tense and tight, the skin contact adding just that little bit of texture and mid palate oomph. Very long, never deviating […]

Paralian Marmont Vineyard Grenache 2025
$45.00From 1960s vines in Blewitt Springs planted to Holocene sand; 20% whole bunch, about 21 days on skins, then 10 months in an old 2500L foudre. There’s a compactness to this, a quietness on opening, fruit enmeshed presently, but there’s concentration, balance and prettiness within.

Reed Amplitude Riesling 2024
$60.00If I was rich man I would buy every single bottle. Only 600 litres produced off what Sierra Reed emphatically stated is the best Riesling vineyard outside Germany and to emphasis the point, the Riesling is no longer, grafted over to Chardonnay for commercial reasons. If you have taken my advice, you too will feel […]

By Farr RP Pinot Noir 2024
$170.00Named for Robyn Pamela Farr, the matriarch behind the Farr dynasty, RP is a wine with both substance and soul.

Domaine la Remejeanne Cotes du Rhone Les Chevrefeuilles Rouge 2022
$39.00I once heard from a Californian wine grower that syrah (or shiraz) was a chameleon of a grape variety, adapting itself to a plentitude of environment’s, wine making techniques and varietal bedfellows. It is for me, the greatest French varietal of them all. I was so taken by Remejeanne’s Chevrefeuilles rouge for it’s freshness, complexity, […]

Craiglee Eadie Shiraz 2019

Super fragrant with cured meats, fresh compost, smoke, Middle Eastern spices, black and red fruits and violets. Full bodied, succulent, masses of fruit and rich, oozing tannins. Very different from the estate shiraz and […]

Henri Germain Meursault Limozin 2022
$265.00“Another wine that has only partially completed its malolactic fermentation is the 2022 Meursault Le Limozin, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy wine that’s broader and more voluminous than the taut Chevalières. Offering up reductive aromas of pear, hazelnuts and iodine, it concludes with a long, mouthwatering finish.” 91-93 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate […]

Caroline Morey Chassagne Montrachet Chambrees 2023

Fabien Coche Meursault ‘Les Chevalieres’ 2021
$250.00The lieux-dit of Les Chevalieres is situated above the village of Meursault. Above is the lieux-dit of Les Luchets, which produces a higher toned, more tensile wine. I can’t help but think that this is ideally situated, in a sense, mid-slope, the perfect aspect in Burgundy. Impossibly complex, with notes of white flowers, lemon, lime, […]
