Bannockburn Grigsby Chardonnay 2025
$85.00From a 0.4ha close-planted vineyard. Barrel fermented and matured in hogsheads (40% new), with 75% mlf. A touch sunnier than the Winery Block, offering aromas of white peach, Golden Delicious apple, frangipani and a subtle briny note.

Dr Edge Concrete Pinot Noir 2025
$60.00My favourite wine of the release. It’s like walking into a florist next door to a spice market, such is the intensity and complexity of the aromatics. Gorgeously pretty and incredibly complex, with an array of flowers, sweet and savoury spices, cola, dark cherry, blueberry, cranberry and raspberry. Precise and delicate, with fruit, flowers, spice […]

Dr Edge Clay Chardonnay 2025
$60.00There is an undercurrent of Jura here, courtesy of the open-topped amphora. Aromas of honeysuckle, nougat, gardenia, lemon, custard and smoke lead into a pure, soft and expansive palate, with the fruit volume dialled-up compared with the nose: grapefruit, mandarin and white peach. The Jura influence is ever-present, with notes of ginger, cream, popcorn and […]

Dr Edge Barrique Pinot Noir 2025
$60.00Lovely to taste a Tassie Pinot with weight, colour and heft, yet for all that, it still sits at around 12% alcohol. A darker fruit profile, with glacé cherry, cassis, raspberry, cranberry and violets. Richer and fuller, with that extra width, heft and structure associated with barrel ageing. Woodsmoke, lavender tea, fresh compost and Middle […]

Vanguardist Oeno Syrah 2024
$44.00The first release for a syrah in the Botanic Series, following on from the inaugural V label syrah in ’23. Tiny production; about 40% whole bunch. Not sure if one could pick a Vanguardist wine on style regardless of variety, but it feels so. That’s not to say there’s an imposition of making. Not at […]

Serrat Grenache Blanc 2024
$45.00Only a single 500L old French oak barrel’s worth of wine, and as far as I’m aware the only grenache blanc from the Yarra Valley. Beautifully composed with citrus blossom, savoury spice, Victoria plum, matchstick, green melon and citrus marmalade. Plump, pure, fleshy and a lovely tension between savoury and fruitiness. Rich in flavour, but […]

Serrat Autres Terres Nenagh Park Chardonnay 2024
$50.00From vines planted at Nenagh Park in 1989. The site is cool, and so’s the wine, but there is an uncommon succulence, no doubt from the wonderful Penfolds 58 clone. Aromas of citrus blossom, savoury spice, a sort of cardamon reduction, lime zest, grapefruit and white peach. Intense, coiled and focused, the most “contemporary” of […]

Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Shiraz 2024

This was fermented mostly as whole bunches, with a long élevage of almost two years in an old, thick-walled demi-muid. Yes, just one, with 600 bottles produced. Dark plum, blackberry, […]

Reed Frequency Riesling 2024
$50.00There is a sort of pulsating urgency to this wine, a frequency if you will, the feel totally different from the Baroque grandeur of the Amplitude. Lithe and sinewy, the fruit is nonetheless lavishly complex. Yellow peach, red cherry, mint, cranberry, lime and gardenia flower. Some extract here and real tannic grip, firmly holding the […]

Fonseca Vintage Port 2016
$220.00On this second look, this Fonseca is still remarkably expressive, lifted and gloriously fresh, even with that slight closing. It has reasonable mid-palate concentration but even better intensity of flavor. Despite that intensity of flavor, it is not quite as sexy as it is in some years, at least not yet, as the tannins are […]
