Rob Hall Chardonnay 2023
$30.00A blend of two vineyards. Willowlake (cooler southern end of the valley), and my folks vineyard (south of Healesville). Predominantly fermented in older French hogsheads (300L). There’s flavours of curd and fresh cream, white peach and citrus. It’s leesy and fresh, but with nice weight on the palate. Winemaker’s Notes

Ca Matta Valpolicella Classico 2020
$35.00If I had to show a Valpolicella, a bottle that was a classic and typical example of the region, then it would have to be from Ca Matta. A classic blend of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara e Rebo and at only 12.5% alcohol, this looks tastes and feels like times past. Violets, […]

Tillie J Aligote 2024
$40.00Out of Stock
Aligote has become trendy, presumably because in Burgundy at least, it’s hard to tell the difference with chardonnay and they are invariably cheaper. Ironically, I find it’s more varietal in Australia, being more linear than chardonnay and fine boned. Tillie J’s is remarkable, a shock really, it’s just so damn good and so damn cheap! […]

Bulman Grenache Rose 2024
$28.00Out of Stock
My absolute favourite grenache producer in Australia, demolishing all cliches and stereotypes of South Australian grenache and red wines in general. It’s hard to believe that he (Mark Bulman) used to make Turkey Flat rose, the wines are so different. Pale in colour, refreshing, crisp and dry. Red summer fruits, sweet and tangy, with a […]

Reed White Heart Riesling 2023
$36.00A remarkable feinherb style. Tangy, tense and lithe with very high levels of natural acidity balanced by gentle sweetness. Flesh and zest of lime, grapefruit, white flowers, lemon, cumquat and tangerine. The acidity and salty minerality lend a sort of chisel and muscularity. This is certainly approachable now, but ideally better in a year or […]

Helm Tumbarumba Riesling 2023
$35.00The citrus and apple blossom of the bouquet and piercing drive of the palate have Germanic overtones as lime and glittering acidity take control of proceedings. A glorious wine at an enticing price. Tumbarumba is a relatively new region for riesling, but is ideally suited. 96 points – James Halliday (The Weekend Australian) […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00Out of Stock
From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]

Badenhorst Secateurs Chenin Blanc 2024
$35.00The grapes are hand picked with great care and chilled overnight in a cold room. The following day they are whole-bunch pressed to a settling tank. These vineyards were picked over a period of 12 days and each day fresh juice was added to the already fermenting tanks. This extended the alcoholic fermentation by about […]

Vanguardist Rose 2024
$38.00“From the Rende vineyard, the heartbeat of the Vanguardist wines, in Blewitt Springs. Michael Corbett takes all his wines very seriously, and that’s no different for rosé, with his estimate predicating a decade’s cellar life. It’s certainly got the flavour depth, texture and a smartly pithy draw of grip to support the notion. An assertive […]

Swinney Riesling 2022
$32.00Out of Stock
Gosh, a real step up in intensity from the 2021. Very complex aromatics of salted citrus, lime peel, spring jasmine, grapefruit, orange blossom and spiced apple. Rich and concentrated, extremely powerful, super intense, salty, pithy, textural and precise. Compact and coiled in 2022, requiring a few years to unwind and flesh out. Promises to be […]

Te Mata Estate Chardonnay 2022
$30.00Vibrant white-gold, Estate Chardonnay ’22 dazzles with bright lemon blossom and concentrated white peach. On the palate, all the ripe Hawke’s Bay stone fruit on offer softens to mascarpone and macadamia, with barrel-ferment notes of toast, biscuit and woodsmoke. The lingering finish of Estate Chardonnay ’22 is fine and dry, marrying the wine’s fresh fruit […]

Tim Smith Barossa Grenache 2022
$38.00It’s all about McLaren Vale Grenache at the moment, but the Barossa Valley should not be overlooked and Tim Smith’s iteration is one of the best, if not the best value from the entire valley. Incredible aromatics with a compote of English summer red fruits, blueberry, some blackcurrant. sweet spices and an almost Nebbiolo sensibility […]

Seehof Morstein Riesling Kabinett 2022
$40.00Sourced from one of the top, limestone-laden vineyards in Rheinhessen, Seehof’s Morstein is fine, dry Riesling. Shimmering a striking golden yellow, the nose benefits from a bit of breathing time to show its full potential of lime blossom, sage, candied ginger, and petrol tones. On the palate, this Morstein is dark and brooding, but balanced […]

Adelina Shiraz 2022
$65.00Col McBryde told me that he liked to drink Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo whilst at home and their influence is clear. Expressive with kirsch, lavender, pink peppercorns, cassis, blackberry, cocoa, mint, fresh compost and a ferrous quality not always present in Clare shiraz. Medium bodied and mouthwatering, the fruit picked perfectly ripe. Very pure, deep […]

Bondar Monastrell 2022
$34.00Out of Stock
Bondar’s Monastrell (Mourvedre) is a limited release (only 100 dozen are made). It comes from fruit off the Lacey vineyard in Willunga, where rocky clay loam soils lie over the revered Kurrajong geology formation. The 15-year-old vines here are farmed with minimal inputs, and the winemaking follows a similar path, with hand-picking, no additions, and […]

Cantina della Stazione Dolcetto d’Alba DOC 2021

Ministry of Clouds Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2022
$40.00Very much in the contemporary mould of Australian chardonnay, the emphasis on freshness and intensity. Citrus, orchard fruits and white flowers, framed by expensive French oak. Coiled and compact with fleshy fruits, white flowers and savoury spice. Precise, linear and very intense. This would benefit from a few years in the cellar. Waters Wine Co […]

Gilbert Pinot Noir 2023
$32.00So often too lean or too worked, Orange pinot noir has hit a sweet spot with Gilbert’s 2023. Pretty and floral, with savoury spices, hedge fruits, and tangy rhubarb, plum and English strawberry. Packed with flavour, mineral; lithe and sleek. It’s not silky, there’s too much texture, and for all its lightness, there’s plenty of […]

Maker Master Merchant Chardonnay 2022
$25.00A blend of Orange and Hunter Valley fruit, this is so delicious, it makes you wonder why we don’t do more multi regional blending. The richness of Hunter Valley fruit, all peach, apricot and lime joining Orange’s grapefruit, melon and lemon. Full flavoured and fresh with some cashew and cream. Awesome value. Waters Wine Co

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00A bright crimson red. After a few good few swirls, aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries, wild herbs and some crushed violets soon emerge. The palate, though, doesn’t need much coaxing, and this silken, sappy wine has excellent depth and persistence. Will be even better six to 12 months from now. 96 points – Philip […]
