JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese GOLDKAPSEL Museum Release 2011
$330.00Candied, spiced apple and overripe Persian melon dominate the Prum 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese gold capsule, with honeyed impingement both aromatically and on the palate reinforcing the sense of relative opacity and rounded richness that the other Graachers in this year’s collection displayed. Here the sense of delicacy is nearly weightless; intriguing and enticing […]

Weiser-Kunstler Trabener Gaispfad Riesling 2018
$85.00Generally preferring sweeter styled Mosel wines, it’s always a thrill to love the unexpected. Immensely complex, deep and brooding with aromas of gooseberry, kiwi, lime, ruby grapefruit, spring jasmine smoke and earth. Absorbing and immense, it’s hard to grasp the sheer depth and breadth of this wine, yet without heaviness or unnecessary structure. Silkily textured, […]

Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec 2021
$90.00“This is a very fine, fragrant and floral Le Haut Lieu Sec. While delicate, the 2021 fills the mouth with a cloud of pure fruit reminiscent of violets, apple and nectarine skin. There’s a fine sinew that pulls the wine through on the finish. It can be approached in its youth but will go on […]

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020

“Pale lemon colour. A smoky reduction which is far from unpleasant. The fruit starts to come out, indeed offering excellent depth of fruit, some yellow plums but still fresh, plenty of weight behind and good length.” 91-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts has a crisp, precise, gunflint-tinged bouquet […]

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.

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay La Charme Aux Pretres 2019
$235.00Out of Stock
Outstanding. Top Value. This is also decidedly restrained and offers only glimpses of the spiced citrus peel and green apple aromas. The rich, full-bodied and intense medium weight flavors are at once caressing yet powerful on the impressively long and saline-suffused finish. This too is very good for its level. 88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound […]

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 […]

Place of Changing Winds Mari Magno Pinot Noir 2022
$90.00Mari Magno is the new, first-level Pinot Noir label. This year’s wine is based on fruit from POCW’s échalas (staked, bush-vine, co-planted) block, topped with fruit from the neighbouring young-vine block. It has had an extra 12 months in bottle because the team wanted to learn what this extra time would bring to a wine from these vines. […]

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Silex 2022
$470.00“The 2022 Silex is not a lot of fun upon release; dry and tense, it really needs time to mellow. There’s flesh from the clay element of its clay-flint soils, which is felt on entry but tightens up as it moves through the mouth. This remains a wine of drive, firmness and upright structure; it […]

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Nebbiolo 2023

A tiny production wine of great singularity and classicism, it’s hard to imagine such a fine nebbiolo coming from such an inhospitable a place as Heathcote.

Sailor Seeks Horse Huldufolk Pinot Noir 2023
$130.00Perhaps the most idiosyncratic wine in the Sailor Seeks Horse stable, emanating from a single clone, 115, and aged in wood for longer and a higher percentage new, 40 . The most reticent, the oak gripping for now, but patience required, patience given. Time in the glass reveals reductive notes of flint, smoke and tar, […]

Savoury comes to mind, and a certain discretion; it certainly doesn’t jump out of the glass the way the estate wine does. Brooding and gentle […]
