Juicy, succulent, rich and luscious with butter, honey, mandarin, fig, grapefruit, pawpaw, citrus blossom, star jasmine, crushed pineapple and macadamia.

David Moreau Santenay Clos des Mouches 1er Cru 2022
$185.00Out of Stock
The 2022 Santenay Clos des Mouches ler Cru contains around 10% to 15% whole bunches this year. It has a splendid nose, the favorite amongst Moreau‘s reds with vivid, energetic red berry fruit mixed with wild hedgerow and touches of oyster shell. The medium-bodied palate has smooth tannins, very sensual for a Santenay. It offers pretty […]

Joshua Cooper Blanche Barkley Old Vines Shiraz 2023
$90.00Unique. There is simply no shiraz like this anywhere in the world, and it is yet more evidence (as if any were needed) of Australia’s most important varietal. The most complex wine of the range. Forceful aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, redcurrant, cranberry, lavender, violets and sweet/savoury Middle Eastern spices. The savoury elements are strong, as […]

Bubb and Pooley WKR Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$75.00There isn’t a lot of Cabernet grown in Tasmania, but after tasting the range at Domaine A and Bubb + Pooley I would hope other growers take notice and start planting. 2022 is the inaugural release of Cabernet Sauvignon off the White Kangaroo Road (WKR) vineyard, the home of Bubb and Pooley. Expressive aromas of […]

Fletcher Barbaresco Faset Cru 2021
$145.002019 was the first year David has bottled Faset as a single Cru. David describes Faset has an ‘unparalleled richness’, a trait shared due to the similar soils with Asili, Rabaja and Rio Sordo. Perhaps easier to understand is that it’s the closest wine in David’s bottlings to Barolo in style. In the review tasting […]

Lelie van Saron Syrah 2020
$60.00A remarkable wine, particularly when you consider the vineyard is barely 20 years old. You don’t need old vines to make great wines, but you do need a great site, and the Bos vineyard in the cool climes of Upper Hemel-en-Aarde is incredible. The soils are of weathered granite, no doubt a defining feature for […]

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 […]

Alex Moreau Bourgogne Blanc 2022
$110.00“Fresh and bright aromas include those of pear, apple and just sliced citrus. There is fine volume to the fleshy and generously proportioned middleweight flavors that possess good energy that carries over to the clean and dry finale. This is a quality effort for its level and worth considering. Drink 2026+ OUTSTANDING – TOP VALUE” 87points – Allen […]

Sadie Family Swartland Kokerboom 2022
$155.00“This is a wonderful expression of his Citrusdal Mountain farm, and something of a tribute to Henk Laing, the grower who passed away last year. Combining Semillon with around 15% interplanted Semillon Gris, this is less exotic than it can be, showing layers of honeysuckle, saffron, citrus and herbs supported by fresh, sappy minerality, a […]

Chantereves Bourgogne Rouge 2021
$105.00Out of Stock
This great-value red is drawn from two vineyards in roughly equal measure: Paris-l’Hôpital in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune on dark, sandy, granitic soil; and Puligny-Montrachet on loamy limestone. The vines in both sites are more than 60 years old on average. This wine captures the quintessential Chanterêves character of fruit purity, savoury nuance and […]

Clos Mogador Com Tu Montsant 2021
$135.00There is a change in image in the 2021 Com Tu, a village red from La Figuera in Montsant, with a label that is similar to the one from the new rosé, a drawing of the village. They used a high percentage of full clusters, and it matured in an old 5,000-liter foudre for one […]

Rings Kallstadter Steinacker Pinot Noir 2020
$130.00The grapes are harvested by hand, sorted again in the winery and destemmed. Without pumping, the grapes go into their wooden fermentation vats, the “cuvees”, with a proportion of whole grapes that have not been destemmed. After a short maceration period, the mash ferments spontaneously with natural yeasts. Matured in new and used barriques, filled unfiltered.

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang 2022
$360.00“The 2022 Pur Sang is done in a really sophisticated style. Despite its long élevage, it needs a little more time for its oak (demi-muids and cigar-shaped barrels) to integrate fully and for its sense of strictness to mellow. But this isn’t a wine you’d crack open on release anyway. It is pure and clear, […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Luminance 2020
$110.00Luminance is crafted from vines with an average age of 50 years. Planted in Kimmeridgian limestone with an active lime content of over 70%. A high active lime content is a feature of the region, but at this level, the vines must work very hard indeed for nutrients and water. The vineyard is terraced, steep […]

Huet Vouvray Le Mont Sec 2021
$115.00“This 2021 Le Mont Sec fills the mouth with pear, pineapple, nectarine and violet flavors. There’s a sense of seduction and succulence through the middle of this wine. The flint and the coolness of the site seem to bring a sense of tension and purpose through this wine, which seduces you then spits you out. […]

Vincent Dauvissat Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2019
$590.00Pale lemon. A leaner stricter nose after the comparative opulence of Sécher. Then gorgeous ripe lemon zest, flavours, which fill the mouth then refine to a clean pure long finish. Deep limestone marls here retained enough humidity. Very long, very classic, great wine. 95 Points – Jasper Morris The 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons is one […]

Christian Moreau Grand Cru Clos des Hospices dans Les Clos 2022
$285.00A tiny 0.41 ha strip of vines located at the bottom of Grand Cru Les Clos. More apparent wood is present on the otherwise similar nose. There is however more richness and volume to the slightly bigger-bodied and more concentrated flavors that also brim with sappy dry extract while exhibiting outstanding length on the powerful […]

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2022
$1,325.00Out of Stock
‘I started with this in 2003 and it’s still something of a mystery to me; it’s a grand cru and I pose questions versus the grand crus here but in the end it’s all about interpretations. Always a surprising wine. The logic is the opposite of Bâtard for harvesting – I wait a little to […]

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault 2022
$315.00Out of Stock
A blend of Narvaux in purchased grapes, Luchets in young vines which they manage, and Malpoiriers, Fresh pale lemon. The bouquet is very stylish, the refined side of Meursault, but also promising the body one would expect. Surprisingly firm acidity, citrus in style, this wine will benefit from longer elevage. Drink from 2027-2032. (89-92) Jasper […]

Julian Haart Wintricher Ohligsberg Riesling Spatlese 2022
$165.00Astonishing nose of lilacs, hyacinths and a bunch of flowers that I can’t put names too. The same applies to the incredibly fine and delicate palate that redefines this category of Mosel riesling with unfermented grape sweetness and a stupidly negative reputation. Graceful and quite creamy mid-palate, the enigmatic vibrancy at the finish, all without […]

Julian Haart Goldtropfchen Riesling Spatlese 2023
$165.00Here is all the baroque beauty of this great Goldtröpfchen site. The cornucopia of yellow fruit, berries, flowers and floral honey would demand several paragraphs for an adequate description. Incredible finesse and subtlety on the medium-bodied palate, the wine hopping, skipping and jumping for joy. Then comes the incredible stony power in the compact and […]

Everything is subtle and poised, a wine of filigreed elegance and delicate finesse. It’s not light by any means, and the fruit hasn’t been forced at all, rather it’s tensioned by gentle acidity, cream, fleshy substance and the […]

Bara’s Champagnes are never too rich, almost always balanced with some zesty chardonnay and the fact that there is never any malolactic fermentation.

Joshua Cooper Dash Farm Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Super complex aromatics of lavender, violets, iodine, blueberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, charcoal/coal dust. Tight, coiled lacy and chalky, the skins are tasted and felt. Tannins are firm, receding to chalk and they are ever present, shaping and defining the wine. Interwoven acidity […]

Eastern Peake Original Block Pinot Noir 2022

This pinot noir puts some runs on the board and then some. It’s an earthen, spicy, cherry-and-strawberry-accented wine, with cedarwood oak, mint and sweetly extravagant herb notes pulsing throughout.
