Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Grenache 2024
$75.00Trott vineyard, ’52-planted bush vines, about 60% whole bunch with a very gentle extraction, matured in seasoned Austrian oak, ceramic and sandstone amphora. The Trott vineyard often throws darker fruits and moodier florals, and they’re here, yet the core remains red fruited and the structure is agreeably tense, a conduit for the twin charge of […]

Mayford Tempranillo 2023
$50.00A stellar tempranillo that offers a deeper insight into the grape with each vintage. Eleana Anderson has a wonderful, intuitive understanding of the Spanish grape, one that mixes a ripe expression with a light, savoury touch. In a cooler vintage such as ’23, they meet with a level of high refinement in rose florals, mustard […]

Michel Lafarge Passetoutgrain L’Exception 2022
$75.00Out of Stock
From vines planted in 1930’s on gravel and sandy soil that suits the 50/50 Gamay/Pinot field blend. Oddly, both varieties reach maturity at the same time. Normally Gamay would ripen quite a bit earlier. It seems that this vineyard is in harmony. 100% de-stemmed, lightly crushed, pneumatic press, indigenous yeast fermentation. Aged for 15-18 months […]

Stony and nicely focused on the palate with a briny sapidity and impressive tension between fruit and […]

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.

Patrick Sullivan Bull Swamp Chardonnay 2024

Domenica Chardonnay 2025
$60.00Spice, cashew nut, custard and nougat aromas, refreshingly clean and shows no reductive traces. The wine is light, crisp and fresh in the mouth, with a stony minerality, very lightly played oak and emphasises the more-ishness and appetising properties of chardonnay. Refreshing acidity cleanses the finish making it a more Chablis-like iteration of the grape. […]

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 […]

Still very primary and super intense with pastry notes, butter, apple, almond cream, lavender, honey, grapefruit, lemon, lime, white peach and cinnamon. Fantastic intensity with great vibrancy, the acidity so lively […]
