House of Arras Vintage Rose 2017
$120.00A combination of 73% Pinot Noir and 27% Chardonnay, displaying a mesmerizing rose-gold colour. If it’s true that we buy first with our eyes, then shut up and take my money.

Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Grenache 2023
$30.00The entry level, if you will, made from declassified fruit/wine from the three proprietary Blewitt Springs sites. The trajectory here is for brighter styles, though the graph curve is gradual.

Juliard Shiraz 2021
$38.00I asked one of the most influential winemaker’s in Beechworth recently what he thought Beechworth was best at and his answer surprised me: shiraz. Really!?

Juliard’s is medium to full […]
