Luciano Sandrone Valmaggiore Nebbiolo d’Alba 2021
$95.00Barbara Sandrone describes this as a mini Barolo, as do so many Barolo producers when discussing their nebs, but marketing pitches aside, I don’t think that does it justice. You can have too much of a good (great) thing and the Valmaggiore is so elegant, composed and beautiful, without trying to emulate Barolo. Grown in […]

Meadowbank Blanc de Blancs 2018
$85.00I don’t normally like fizzes aged for long periods on lees but this, disgorged after five years, seems to have hit a sweet spot. 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 […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir 2023
$69.00Intensely floral, as ever, with English summer red fruits, baking spices and darker hedge fruits. Rich, dense, authoritative, suave and sensual. Such a serious wine, in an effortless sense with a tarry, bitumen element, overlayed with roses. Very Nebbiolo like in some sense, yet the seduction of pinot noir is eternal. The elements dominating, a […]

Bondar Clarendon Shiraz 2022

Seductive, like a lovely blanket of autumnal, Australian sun. Magnificent shiraz, with blueberry, blackberry, sweet English summer fruits, geranium, licorice, clove, black olive and almond paste. Succulent and juicy, with vibrancy and curve, the wine’s structural elements, shaping yet not defining. Savoury elements of fresh compost, oyster and squid ink buttress the pure and pristine […]

Stonegarden Riesling 2023

Vivid flavours of grapefruit, fresh lime, lime preserve, green mango, jasmine, cumin, green apple and white peach. Very pure mouthfeel, ripe thank heavens it’s not picked too early, and masses of freshness. Poised, elegant and immensely powerful, the fruit thrusting to […]

Stonegarden Northwest Grenache 2021
$65.00From vines planted in 1858 and 1854. This is really something, framed by cashmere tannins that run long, from beginning to end. Super aromatic, as with all the wines, a compote of fennel, aniseed, blackberry, blackcurrant, rhubarb, smoke and earth. Fresh and vibrant, very fine, with soft bones of structure and vivid red fruits on […]

This is fine, dry and textural with fine citrus, white peach and pear, sitting atop a stony chalky minerality, with a salty twist on the finish. Very fine and expressive. 95/100 […]

Haddow and Dineen Grain of Truth Pinot Gris 2023
$50.00An exciting wine to taste, and an even better wine to drink. The aromatics are thrillingly complex with, burnt butter, orange, yellow and white peach, white plum, grapefruit, summer honey, macadamia and pink lady apple.

Joshua Cooper Claret 2024
$38.00I am forever surprised at the lack of support for Cabernet Sauvignon and cabernet blends, particularly when I am lucky enough to sample Josh Coopers wonderful wines. Not as edgy or angular as his later released wines, this nonetheless has some wonderful rough hewn tannins and a back lift of bright acidity. Blackcurrant, plum, cherry, […]

David Moreau Bourgogne Pinot Noir Sous Montot 2022
$75.00The 2022 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, which sees no new oak, offers subtle hints of blue fruit on the playful nose, a lifted, perfumed bouquet with floral scents filtering through the raspberry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with nice depth, importantly it is quite sensual in style with a long, pretty finish. Importer’s […]

Adams Wein Weissburgunder 2022
$45.00If you wanted to know why pinot blanc is one of the permitted varieties of Champagne and Burgundy, you need to try this wine. You can taste and feel the similarities it has with chardonnay and aligoté. Concentrated, coiled and tight, with size, curve and generosity. The flavours are incredibly complex with some high toned […]

Lelie van Saron Chardonnay 2021
$60.00Alcohol levels have been creeping up for years, yet the 2021 Lelie van Saron still only weighs in at 12.8%. Reminds me of Burgundy 20 years ago. Astonishingly focused, aromatic, intense, precise, powerful and decadent. Decadent is a dirty word in wine nowadays, but let’s be honest; great chardonnay is extravagant. From a vineyard in […]

Olifantsberg Soul of the Mountain The Matriach 2019

However, Grenache blanc and Chenin blanc complements Roussanne extremely well to create the perfect blend. 72% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc and 8% Chenin Blanc. The complexity of this wine lies in the collection […]

$250.00Out of Stock
Picked with yields around 4 tons per hectare with a balling of 22 at harvest, the concentration and intensity of this wine is clear to see from the word go.

Stonegarden Field Blend Grenache 2020
$65.00Richer, deeper and burlier than the straight Grenache. 85% of this blend is Grenache, with the difference made up of Mataro, Shiraz, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is from a warmer part of the vineyard, with heavier soils and the fruit is correspondingly darker. Rounder in shape, wilder, with more exotic notes of cocoa, smoke, […]
