Domaine de Marcoux Vin de France Raisin de Loup NV
$35.00Hands down, the best value bistro wine we have tasted from anywhere. Sweet and tangy compote of red, blue and black fruits. Super bright palate, juicy, with gentle spice, refreshing acidity, silky mouthfeel and a squeeze of powdery tannins. Utterly drinkable, versatile and there’s a serious side too. Absolute bargain. Waters Wine Co Organic. Marcoux’s […]

Bondar Junto GSM 2022
$30.00A great makeup of majority grenache (62%) with a smattering of shiraz, mataro and cinsault, reminiscent of a classic southern Rhône blend, albeit, with a lighter touch. As good, too. Effusive blue- and red-fruit allusions teem along rails of gentle tannins, a burr of whole-bunch spice as seasoning. A sweep of maritime salinity at the […]

Walsh & Sons Lola 2021
$28.00One of the best value wine’s we have tasted in a very long time. A blend of Syrah, Cabernet and Grenache, the blend might seem unlikely, but it works tremendously. Plenty to smell here; dried flowers, blackcurrant, plum, raspberry and spice. Ample palate, that coats the mouth in flavour, but without any heaviness or astringency. […]

Ravensworth Regional Tinto 2022
$32.00From fruit grown in Hilltops, predominantly Tempranillo, with lesser quantities of Grenache and Mataro. Yes it’s young and made simply, but the 2022 Tinto is a serious bistro/café/restaurant wine. Dark cherry, blackberry, cherry cola, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate and violets. Tight and fleshy, with rugged mineral tannins. Buoyant and fresh, had this with Chinese style […]

Domaine de Marcoux Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2019
$50.00The very definition of unforced power, supreme elegance and perfect balance. Intense bouquet of strawberry, raspberry, plum, blueberry, clove and thyme. Silken mouthfeel, sleek and the flavours travelling to the outer reaches of the palate. There’s a buoyancy, in contrast to effortless smoothness, the carry is long and accentuated by Marcoux’s trademark velvet. Tremendous value, […]

Yangarra GSM Museum Release 2016
$35.00A 54/24/18% blend, wild yeast open-fermented, matured for 10 months in used French oak. Magical, deep crimson; as devotees of Chateau Rayas, and others from the Rhone Valley will attest, grenache has many faces, the most admired in that part of France, its serious, long-lived, complex and structured single varietal pose. But it’s usually in […]

Badenhorst Family Red 2019

A fascinating, beautiful wine, evidence of the wondrous nature of blends. Like the Family White, this is a historic and unique wine, a blend of varietals not seen in other parts of the world. Aromatic and ethereal with savoury spice, earth, smoke, plum and blackberry. Medium bodied, sleek and mineral with ferrous elements, pure fruit, […]

Maxime-François Laurent Cotes du Rhone Il Fait Soif 2020
$48.00Produced in a similar fashion to the ‘Poignée de Raisins’ but from 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah. As always this wine has a bit more power than the Poignee de Raisins. This is very fine and very long on taste and is dangerously delicious, as you might expect from a wine christened – “it’s thirsty […]

Savage Thief in the Night 2021
$55.00The Thief in the Night cuvee is a wine that increasingly pushes the solo message of premium Grenache despite still having minor blend components of 7.5% Syrah and 6.5% Cinsault, the ‘salt and pepper’ of the wine. This beautifully pristine Piekenierskloof Grenache from dry farmed bush vines grown on sandstone soils underwent spontaneous fermentation with […]

Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2020
$36.0062/38% grenache/shiraz, a blend from 2 sites. 16yo puncheons of each and a single barrique of grenache. An homage to the likes of d’Arry’s Original, apparently. I grew up drinking that. Here, a less-is-more approach. A full-weighted mouthfeel, rich of flavour and yet, savoury, fresh and effortlessly detailed without being overly complicated. Bracken, kirsch and […]

$50.0042% Syrah, 22% Carignan, 20% Mourvèdre, 16% Grenache Noir. The composition of the blend varies as the vintage leads us. We play to the strengths but also the uniqueness of each variety. Winemaker’s Notes 94 points – Tim Atkin MW Shop all Olifantsberg Wines

Rall Red 2018
$55.00A brooding nose of black fruit, withered rose, some meatiness, spice and even a little tar. The palate meanwhile is full-bodied with smooth tannins, the finish super-dry. This is 100% whole-bunch fermented but the fruit is so dense that there’s no sense of stalkiness on the palate. A dramatic, powerful wine. 92 Points – Christian […]

Domaine de Ferrand Vieilles Vignes 2021
$45.0090% Grenache with Syrah/Mourvèdre/Cinsault. Planted in the 1920’s The 2021 Côtes Du Rhône ‘Vieilles Vignes’ which is from very old vines (important with Grenache) literally across the border of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP is by far the best example of this wine that I have seen, like his CNDP above. This is from a […]

Domaine de Marcoux Chateauneauf-du-Pape Rouge 2019
$150.00The stamp of Marcoux is on all their reds, and it’s a delight to taste them together. The flavour and textural profiles are similar, and here we have the pinnacle; deeper, concentrated, woven complexity and lacy structure. Vivid and intense, with an immediate presence. Extremely complex nose of red fruits, brambly fruit, petrichor, campfire, violets […]
