Savoury notes of sweet and savoury spice, pepper, gamey notes, liquorice and fresh compost. Generous and gorgeous, the tannins rich but soft and the […]

All of the Gueguen‘s Petit Chablis comes from Préhy commune.” 90 points, Andy Howard MW, Decanter Lovely intense bouquet of preserved lemon, cream, white flowers, white peach and melon. This is very concentrated for a Petit Chablis, with fruit […]

Walsh & Sons Roi Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$50.00From a vineyard planted in 1998 and only 170 dozen produced. This is a terrific follow up to the 2020, finer, sleeker and deeper. Classic Margaret River nose with blackcurrant, plum, blackberry, blueberry, cigar box and geraniums. High toned, with a refined intensity that is positively mouthwatering and succulent all at the same time. Terrific […]

Salo Chardonnay 2023
$50.00“From the Full Moon Vineyard in Gladysdale. Wild ferment and 100% mlf. There’s only one wine from winemakers and friends Steve Flamsteed and Dave Mackintosh, and it’s always a good ‘un. A bright green gold. There’s aromas of ripe stone fruits together with some savoury and complex briny notes. On the palate, this has lots […]

Disznoko Tokaji Late Harvest Furmint 2019 (500ml)
$45.00László Mészáros makes this late harvest wine from mainly botrytised Furmint grapes (along with 6% Zéta and 6% Hárslevelu), which have shrivelled to around half of their original volume. Termed Késói Szüretelésú in Hungarian, there was no berry-by-berry selection here as there is for Aszú wines. Instead, selected bunches of botrytised clusters and part-clusters were […]

Ravensworth Estate Riesling 2021
$35.00The Estate Riesling is sourced from mostly 25-year-old vines grown on granite soils at 650 metres elevation.

Bernard Defaix Chablis 2022
$65.00“Complete harmony, a certain amount of nuance, lifted finish thanks to acceptable acidity. Bottled July. Pale lemon colour, a little more flesh on the nose, pleasingly rounded, very stylish. Buy this without question. With time in the glass the Chablis minerality shows as well as the pleasing flesh.” 89 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy […]

Alheit Vineyards Hereafter Here Chenin Blanc 2021
$65.00Out of Stock
First produced in 2020, this Chenin Blanc hails from dry farmed, bush vine vineyards that are less than 20 years’ old, blending components from Stellenbosch and the Swartland. Savoury and refreshing, with mouth-watering acidity, rock salt and lemongrass flavours and the zip that’s typical of the 2021 whites. 94 points – TIm Atkin MW […]

Farr Rising Chardonnay 2024
$60.00‘It’s a suggestion of a golden flash in the glass. That first interaction makes it pleasing and generous. The nose is faint yellow apple, something peppery, white chocolate, celery leaf, dried mango and baking spice. That sounds like an overreaction, but it’s what I got. Obviously, these are flashes, like a flickering light that begins […]

Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Marsanne Roussanne 2022
$60.00Harcourt lies within the Bendigo G.I , but lies higher and cooler. Complexity from fruit to texture with notes of brioche, honeysuckle, yellow peach, citrus marmalade, lemon juice, zest, fresh hay, mint, sage and ginger. Full bodied, chiseled and succulent. Luxurious and fleshy, yet without fat or flab. Gloriously textured, controlled opulence and a linear, […]

Muller-Catoir MC Riesling 2020
$45.00Instantly appealing, sliced-pear and white-peach aromas with floral and mandarin notes. This medium-bodied dry riesling is so charming and lively, but also has very good depth and balance at the finish. 92 points, Stuart Pigott, James Suckling Dry. Organic. Screwcap. Few German estates produce an entry Riesling of this depth and structure. It is made entirely […]

Paralian Springs Hill Vineyard Shiraz 2022
$45.00“We Love Northern Rhone”, Skye Salter told me when tasting through their wines, and it shows, with notes of Charcuterie and coal dust. Otherwise it’s all McLaren Vale. Deep dark fruits, including blackcurrant, not often found in shiraz. Dark cherry, blackberry, violets, savoury spice, fresh compost, cured meats, pink peppercorn, soy, fennel and cardamon. Rich, […]

Moreau-Naudet Petit Chablis 2022
$85.00Diam. Not all Petit Chablis is created equal! Moreau’s Petit Chablis comes from a single 2.5-hectare site between Courgis and Beine, just outside Chablis on the route to Auxerre. It has a southwest orientation and lies on Kimmeridgian soils (as opposed to the higher Portlandian soils on which most Petit is grown). Half of the plot […]

Subtle and complex with its bouquet of just-picked white nectarines, lightly grilled nuts, lemongrass and a little sea spray. Fills out nicely on the mid-palate and there’s […]

Domaine A Petit A Cabernets 2017
$55.00Out of Stock
St Emillion inspired, but for me, reminiscent of the haunting, autumnal wines of Pessac Leognan. Beautifully complex aromas of blackcurrant, cranberry, mulberry, blackberry, violets, garrigue herbs, tobacco leaf, mint and cocoa. Pure ripe fruit, supple initially, before the sensual squeeze of chewy, tobacco laced tannins. Very complex interplay of savoury and fruit notes with squid […]

Saltfleet Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2022
$40.00Grenache is all the fashion in the McLaren Vale these days, including some beautiful blends of which Saltfleet’s GSM is one. This is a delightful homage to McLaren Vale, with ripe red and black fruits, violets, chocolate, sweet and savoury spice and pipe tobacco. Texturally complex with a combination of silk, fluffy lanolin and cashmere. […]

Domenica Chardonnay 2023
$55.00Out of Stock
‘A very fine chardonnay, without quite the precision, detail and tension that I recall from other years. Stone fruit, flint, lanolin, porcini and that regional tattoo of glazed quince. Quinine bitterness at the finale. Mid-weighted and nicely nervous in the mouth, while suitably open-knit enough to breach already. Fine. Drink or hold. Screw cap.’ 95 Points […]

Take your eye off it and you can find yourself in drab backwaters, but unwavering focus delivers you to exciting destinations like this.

Pinot noir sourced from the Elsewhere vineyard, between Cygnet and Huonville in the Huon Valley; 25% whole bunches, matured for 11 months in French oak (16% new). Phwoar … this smells great.

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
$69.00No Huldufolk this, which works for me as this is the finest chardonnay to date. 40 per cent new French oak, no malolactic as usual, the fruit soaking up what has to be very expensive wood. Super fragrant, with spring jasmine, pawpaw, fig, quince, white peach, preserved lime, spicy oak, burnt butter and citrus rind. […]

Savage Thief in the Night 2021
$60.00The 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 […]

Pressing Matters R9 Riesling 2022
$42.00I love the ‘R’ designations on the Pressing Matters rieslings. From R0 for bone-dry to R139 for sweet, they are an indication of the RS in the wine. The R9, in theory, should teeter on that fulcrum between dry and off-dry, but that crystalline Tasmanian acidity tempers any sweetness and it appears dry. And totally […]

Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2021
$55.00Out of Stock
From a 330m elevation vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Whole-bunched pressed to older puncheons. Natural fermentation and no mlf. A touch riper and more concentrated than last year’s version. Aromas of red apples and just-ripened orchard fruits with a little flint. Fans out nicely on the palate. Gently savoury and with a touch of grip […]
