Joshua Cooper Doug’s Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023
$75.00I’m pretty familiar with this wine and its flavour profile and shape, year on year, is very consistent. A little rounder than in the past, and slightly less structured, the tannins lacy. Different from those rough hewn cabernets! Sandalwood, fresh mixed herbs, blueberry and a compote of English summer red fruits. Mouthwatering backend finale, tightening, […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
$69.00No Huldufolk this, which works for me as this is the finest chardonnay to date. 40 per cent new French oak, no malolactic as usual, the fruit soaking up what has to be very expensive wood. Super fragrant, with spring jasmine, pawpaw, fig, quince, white peach, preserved lime, spicy oak, burnt butter and citrus rind. […]

Enderle and Moll Pinot Noir 2020
$60.00Out of Stock
Enderle and Moll’s ‘entry level’ Pinot Noir comes from 30 year old vines planted on sandstone and limestone, Baden’s two dominant soils. In many ways this is the signature wine of the estate, as its shape and style are that which define Enderle and Moll. Pristine and pure notes of red and dark cherries, rhubarb, […]

Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvee Corcelette 2022
$110.00The 2022 Morgon Cuvée Corcelette has a crisp and delineated bouquet brimming with energy. Lively red fruit seems to leap from the glass. The palate is beautifully built, svelte tannins matched with a silver bead of acidity, very harmonious with a lightly spiced and persistent finish. This has a bit of Liam-Gallagher-like swagger about it—nothing […]

Diel Goldloch Riesling Kabinett 2020
$60.00From a great vintage, a very intense, powerful and structured rendition of Kabinett. An aromatic bouquet, with enormous presence. Fresh herbs, citrus, cherry, grapefruit, smoke and white peach.

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2020
$60.002020 was a tiny vintage at Sailor Seeks Horse in the Huon Valley, yielding just 2 t/ha. But the long, cool growing season has produced wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Wild Duck Creek Duck Muck 2021
$505.00A very rare wine of utmost intensity and exceptional quality, rewarding careful cellaring. Duck Muck was first made by a stroke of luck. Some super-ripe Shiraz was picked from Wild Duck Creek’s Original Vineyard and made into wine, which didn’t quite fill a barrel. The barrel was then topped up with Alan’s Cabernet Pressings, being […]

Place of Changing Winds Larderdark Chardonnay 2022
$165.00Low yields this vintage, which is a bummer, so not much made but great concentration of fruit weight and power the positive outcome. However, just when you think all the spiced stone fruit, citrus, nougat-like lees and cedary oak will add up to a weighty wine, it does an about-face. The acidity kicks in, reining […]

Patrick Sullivan Baw Baw Chardonnay 2023
$69.00“A slight gold hue, yet bright. An unusual offering this vintage with full-on flavours and yet it’s not unwieldy. Let this breathe and open up, then expect quince paste, lime marmalade, saffron-infused peaches and creamed honey lees. Plenty of perky acidity, a light phenolic tug; the palate is textural and luscious, a little juicy, too. […]

Tense and coiled, with a ridge of green apple, flavours tumbling either side. White peach, nectarine, ruby grapefruit, mandarin, preserved citrus and tabouli. A tension of opposites, reserved for only the world’s […]
