$275.00Out of Stock
From a south-west facing 0.65 ha vineyard planted in 1994 located just above La Chateniere. This site catches a little more wind. ‘Very pale in colour, and undemonstrative on the nose.

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 […]

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2021
$80.00The 2021 Hemelrand Vine Garden is one of Chris Alheit’s biggest successes and encapsulates everything great about his wine. Initially quite neutral, it reveals wondrous sea spray, honeysuckle, Provençal herbs and hints of powdered chalk on the nose. The palate has exquisite balance, very cohesive and intense, yet the acidity keeps this so fresh with […]

Caroline Morey Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Les Champs Gains 2022
$410.00Out of Stock
Low yield at 30-35 instead of 50-55 hl/ha, due to a little bit of 161/49 damage. Lovely pale lemon with a green tint. The bouquet is pleasingly elegant as well, then a little bacon fat arrives. Interesting texture, a fine-grained tannin supporting some quality white fruit. Medium plus length, altogether an attractive wine. Slightly riper […]

Bell Hill Pinot Noir 2019
$290.00Out of Stock
Cold and wet weather during flowering in the spring of 2018 severely impacted the pinot noir yields for this vintage, but what has been produced is spectacular. Its spell is cast initially on the nose, blood orange and wild raspberry, some wild sage and coriander seed. But it’s in the mouth that the magic in […]

Rippon Lolo’s Mature Vine Riesling 2019
$75.00I have never tasted a riesling to match the intensity of Saar, until this encounter with Rippon’s 2019 Lola.

Gerard Julien & Fils Bourgogne Rouge Origine 2020

I’m not sure why, but there has never been a better time to drink Bourgogne rouge or blanc. Usually the least expensive option, also meant poor value. But this is something else. Intense aromatics of sweet raspberry, strawberry, plum, blackberry, subtle wood and minerals. It’s the lightest wine in the range, but carries plenty of […]

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Silex 2020
$395.00(2020) “While this was a warm season leading to richness in many wines from the region, the Silex 2020 shows ripe fruit, but there’s no sense of being overblown. The fine line that races through many wines relying on flint-based parcels is there, carrying the nectarine and oak-derived vanilla flavors, but its influence never tips into […]
