Gerard Julien & Fils Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots 2020
$265.00Les Bousselots is a mid slope vineyard, with clay rich soils. As you would expect the wines are full bodied, dark coloured and with deep soft tannins. Julien’s rendition is one of the blackest from any producer of this vineyard I can remember tasting. Spiced plum, hedge fruits, black cherry and cassis, flecked with sweet […]

Dagueneau Jurancon Les Jardins de Babylone Moelleux 2016
$385.00The 2016 is equally stunning but far more youthful and therefore, more delicate and discrete than the 2015. It’s a vibrantly racy wine with mixed citrus and fresh-cut apple notes and a juicy, vibrant close. Both vintages are Germanic in style, less so dessert wines but more for drinking throughout the meal (the way you […]

Joshua Cooper Dash Farms Chardonnay 2025
$75.00Planted in 1999, Dash Farms sits perched at over 450m ASL on the Southern granitic slopes of Mt. Alexander (Leanganook) looking back towards Mt Macedon and the Macedon Ranges. Like Ray-Monde, it sits just outside the Macedon Ranges GI. Ripening for Chardonnay occurs around a week earlier than my family’s vineyard Cobaw Ridge. These lean granite […]

Daosa Late Disgorged Blanc de Blancs 2017
$175.00Sparkling or Champagne that spends this amount of time on lees, 90 months in this case, can have too much savouriness and leesy-ness, without enough freshness or fruit. However, the Daosa Blanc de Blancs is gorgeous, mineral, generous and intense, without any loss of freshness or fruit profile. It’s a remarkable feat in sparkling winemaking […]

Manuele Priolo Roero Anime Nere Vigneto Eroico 2023
$195.00This is Nebbiolo, but not as you know it. From Manuele Priolo’s extraordinary, near-vertical Anime Nere vineyard in Monteu Roero, this is a wine of remarkable delicacy, perfume and energy. Pale and luminous in colour, it opens with an intoxicating perfume of wild strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry and rose petals, with hints of blood orange […]

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Monthelie Rouge 1er Cru Champs Fulliot 2024
$230.00The new Champs Fulliot cuvée comes from four periods of plantings, between 30 and70 years ago. It displays a greater depth of colour, than the other reds in the Pierre-Yves Colin/Caroline Morey stable. Raspberries dominate the nose along with a pleasing nutty note, good body here, a feeling of correctly ripe fruit, building very well […]

Serrat Grenache Blanc 2024
$45.00Only a single 500L old French oak barrel’s worth of wine, and as far as I’m aware the only grenache blanc from the Yarra Valley. Beautifully composed with citrus blossom, savoury spice, Victoria plum, matchstick, green melon and citrus marmalade. Plump, pure, fleshy and a lovely tension between savoury and fruitiness. Rich in flavour, but […]

Serrat Autres Terres Nenagh Park Chardonnay 2024
$50.00From vines planted at Nenagh Park in 1989. The site is cool, and so’s the wine, but there is an uncommon succulence, no doubt from the wonderful Penfolds 58 clone. Aromas of citrus blossom, savoury spice, a sort of cardamon reduction, lime zest, grapefruit and white peach. Intense, coiled and focused, the most “contemporary” of […]

Alheit Vineyards Huilkrans Chenin Blanc 2022
$165.00First vintage of this wine since 2019. Chenin Blanc from Skurfberg vineyards planted between 1974 and 1989 on red sand over clay. Lemon, grapefruit, hay and almond on the nose while the palate shows stupendous concentration, fresh acidity and a decidedly bitter finish – great intensity of flavour. A dramatic wine, full of character. 97 […]

Savaterre Pinot Noir 2024
$100.00From one of Australia’s earliest close-planted vineyards, established on granite and clay soils, this is a Pinot Noir of remarkable presence and refinement. The aromatics are expansive and deeply expressive, revealing an intensely floral bouquet layered with English summer berries, blackberry, mulberry, tar, exotic Lebanese spices, a wisp of smoke and the first savoury hints […]

Alex Moreau Chassagne Montrachet 2023
$270.00“A completely different aromatic profile presents notes of petrol, rosemary oil and white-fleshed fruit scents. There is notably better density and volume to the attractively textured medium weight flavors that display fine length on the balanced finale. This does need to develop better depth but that should reasonably occur if given a chance. Worth checking […]

Laurent Tribut Chablis Beauroy 1er Cru 2023
$200.00The pale lemon-yellow hue belies the potent aromas of white peach, green apple, oyster shell and white blossoms packed into this delicious wine. The texture is creamy and deep, yet the vibrant acidity draws it to an impressively long finish. The grapes are from 0.65ha spread over several parcels on different soil types, bringing diversity […]

Laurent Tribut Chablis 2023
$130.00This vibrant and dynamic village Chablis explodes with aromas of lime peel, passion fruit and greengage plums adorned with acacia blossoms and chalky minerality. The feel is racy and bright, but there is substance here as well. This wine will be crisp and approachable on release but will profit from mid-term ageing in the cellar. […]

Domaine de Villaine Bouzeron Aligote 2023
$125.00The 2023 Bouzeron has a vivacious nose that boldly declares, “I am Aligoté!” The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity and beautiful weight in the mouth, featuring hints of lemon curd, white peach and Anjou pear toward the poised finish. You’ll find few Bouzerons better than this. 91 points – Neal […]

Sadie Family Swartland Twiswind 2024
$185.00“Lovely aromatics to this white, showing mangosteen, lemon, sliced pears, wet stones and sea breeze on the nose. It’s very racy, saline, and mineral, with a medium body and fantastic energy. So much complexity and salty brightness. A blend of 12 varieties, co-planted in 2019. The first bottling of this wine from a windy site.” 96 […]

Sylvain Cathiard Vosne Romanee 1er cru Malconsorts 2024
$2,230.00Mid ruby in colour. Very attractively perfumed on the nose and agreeably fresh. Some roses as well as red fruit. This is not the most powerful Malconsorts you will ever taste, but there is a fine tensile strength which shows off the qualities of the vineyard very expressively. Properly persistent, a lovely wine for the […]

Pegasus Bay Finale Half Bottle 2021 (375ml)

A wonderful dessert wine.” 96 Points, Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review “Pungent nose of musk & smoke from the botrytis, a saline aspect, marzipan & fruit […]

Domaine Tempier Bandol La Migoua 2022
$190.00The La Migoua area is renowned for its geological features and is often studied for its complex sediment patterns. The outcrops of rocks found in this area date back much further than those in the rest of the Bandol winegrowing area. The effect of one tectonic plate sinking beneath another (subduction) can actually be observed […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022
$280.00‘Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous and more concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin 2022
$240.00“A more deeply pitched nose reflects aromas of humus-inflected poached plum, cassis and violet that display hints of earth and leather. The supple and succulent yet well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a lovely mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere finish where a touch of wood arises. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and worth […]

Paul Pillot Chassagne-Montrachet Vieilles Vignes Rouge 2022

Lafarge-Vial Fleurie ‘Clos Vernay’ 2023
$125.00This delicious Fleurie was astounding when tasted from barrel, and has opened up more since bottling, with an expressive currant and raspberry fruit marked by exquisite finesse backed up by depth, density and admirable length on the palate. The vineyard is surrounded by walls and by forest on three sides; the 400m-450m elevation brings freshness, […]

Vincent Dancer Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles 2022
$590.00Les Pézerolles is a site just above Les Petits Épenots and Clos des Epeneaux and is, therefore, one of Pommard’s highest Premiers Crus. It regularly produces some of the village’s finest reds. It’s a site that gives finesse—in the context of Pommard—and is widely considered to generate a style that is as much Volnay as Pommard. Some big names work […]
