Sorrenberg Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot 2024
$80.00Sorrenberg is very Bordeaux, very Paulliac, very bloody excellent. Signature aromatics, you just want to keep your nose in the glass. Cassis, dark cherry, pencil shavings, plum, bay leaf, woodsmoke and sweet earth. Generous, full flavoured and detailed. Plush and incisive, with terrific energy and flow, the tannins grainy, a piqued acidity. Effortless power, it’s […]

Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Chardonnay 2024
$75.00A new wine in this lineup, from Bowyer Ridge vineyard, Lobethal, at over 500m. Three barriques, two older, one second fill, with full mlf. This needs a little time, with winemaking tricks pleasingly absent, but the acidity is coiled, crimping in flavour, of which there is ample, and texture. Time will heal. Cool nectarine, moving […]

Tim Smith Bugalugs Blanc 2025
$28.00“A blend of grenache blanc, marsanne and roussanne. Nashi pear, custard apple, waxed lemon rind, jasmine and dried chamomile.

Bannockburn Chardonnay 2024
$70.0095 points, TWF Bannockburn’s Chardonnay has a track record most Victorian producers would give their eye teeth for. The quality and style can be traced back to the estate’s exceptional organically farmed sites. Olive Tree Hill Vineyard was planted in 1976 and abuts the S.R.H. parcel, while Winery Block was planted in 1981. Both lie […]

Dirty Three The Dirty Rizza Riesling 2024
$38.00Off-dry riesling at it’s very best, and the first that I’ve had from Gippsland. A ‘feinherb’ in style, so only about 10 g/l of sugar, so the alcohol is low also, at 10.8%. Gorgeous aromatics of spring jasmine, quince, flint, preserved lime, lemon, green apple and gentle spice. Pure and refreshing, energetic, ravishing yet precise, […]

The palate is ripped […]

Craiglee Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$40.00Classic. Notes of blackcurrant, cherry, plum, oyster shell, mint, quality oak, violets and tobacco. Medium bodied and firm, like the shiraz, this is savoury, the tannins really adding flavour and structure, defining the wine. Old school claret of the left bank. Huge potential.

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; […]

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$140.00One of Australia’s great cabernets. This from a cooler season highlights and accentuates the typical bright red fruits and blue fruit mix, especially on the nose. It’s aromatic and perfumed with an African violet scent. The palate as always is so exquisitely balanced and refined. Since 1989 the cabernet has been augmented with the floral […]

Stonegarden Field Blend Grenache 2020
$65.00Richer, deeper and burlier than the straight Grenache. 85% of this blend is Grenache, with the difference made up of Mataro, Shiraz, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Alex Moreau Chassagne Montrachet 2022
$265.00“Smoke and petrol nuances add breadth to the aromas of rosemary oil, pear and soil tones. There is impressive volume to the dense and seductively textured medium weight flavors thanks to the abundant amount of dry extract that imparts a sappy quality to the lingering, powerful and balanced finale. This is noticeably less refined, indeed […]
