Cantina Marangona Lugana 2021
$35.00The first Turbiana I have tasted, wishing I had encountered the varietal years ago. Spring Jasmine, green apple, white peach, nectarine and lemon zest. Subtle textural grip and hints of cream embellish an otherwise linear, mineral palate. Super fresh, pitched perfectly, like a brilliant Soave in that it has the perfect fruit, acidity and flesh […]

A Rodda Cuvee de Chais 2021
$40.00A blend of 60/22/9/9% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc/petit verdot. Several different parcels of grape varieties, but all wines were pressed to French oak barriques (36% new) for 15 months. While Italian grapes are making headway in Beechworth, this wine reminds you of the classic beauty to be found in the region’s French grapes. The fineness and […]

Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Quite different from the 2021 vintage, being more open and less structured. Very complex, with notes cashew, rockmelon, white peach, spring jasmine, butter white cherry and preserved mango. Succulent and luscious, the palate displays some darker yellow fruit, the acidity tightening the palate and applying a little more sinew and structure. A chardonnay lover’s chardonnay. […]

Swinney Syrah 2021
$45.00Shiraz/Syrah and Australia. It just works. The 2021 is quiet different from previous releases; rounder in shape, ample with finer, lacier tannins. Not so sleek or linear and a dialling back of the mouth puckering mineral acidity. Blueberry, sweet cherry, violets, raspberry and delicate spice. Plush, without any sense of heaviness, a triumph of a […]

Rieslingfreak No 8 Schatzkammer Riesling 2023
$35.00With an abundance of natural acidity in the grapes, 2023 makes for an exciting vintage for our iconic “Schatzkammer” Riesling. The bouquet is sweetly scented with aromas of orange sherbet, passionfruit, grapefruit, jasmine and honeysuckle, which carry through onto the lusciously flavoured palate. This wine is low in alcohol with a finely-tuned balance of succulent […]

CRFT Arranmore Pinot Noir 2021
$45.00Quite a classic wine – firm and correct, medium bodied, linear, savoury, reminding me of the pinots from Beaune. Lifted florals with some ripe whole bunch influence of clove, licorice and aniseed. Focused, compact and coiled with brambly fruit, cranberry, savoury spice and ripe authoritative tannins. Nothing showy. A discreet wine, with pin point balance […]

Meadowbank Riesling 2023
$39.00Aromatic and open with Gardenia, lemon, saltbush, dried oregano, grapefruit, pawpaw and green mango. Rich and almost full bodied, indeed I’m not sure we’ve ever had a Tasmanian Riesling with such dimensions and depth as this. For all its size and opulent shape, it’s very focused and structured, the richness of fruit tensioned by minerals, […]

Mesh Eden Valley Riesling 2023
$35.00Mesh is a collaboration between Yalumba’s Robert Hill Smith and Jeffrey Grosset, two of Australia’s greatest riesling producers. Typical of the vintage, the 2021 has that extra level of concentration. White flowers, mandarin oil, lemon zest and juicy ripe limes. Texturally, there is a chalky/salty mineral feel, that really lifts the finish. Precise, elegant, detailed […]

Polperro Estate Pinot Gris 2022
$45.00When most of us think of the Mornington Peninsula, we think of pinot noir and chardonnay. Pinot Gris/grigio should be added to the list, the best in Australia comes from here. Think Quealy, think Polperro. I wouldn’t normally “love” a pinot gris from anywhere, but this is stunning. Pear, smoke, mushroom, kiwi fruit, white peach, […]

Stargazer Palisander Riesling 2021
$45.00Fermented in a ceramic egg and left on lees for ten months. The nose is a combination of dried chamomile and bath salts, with some yuzu and bergamot citrus elements. A juiciness with fruit tingle acidity dominates the palate, backed by a refreshing crunch and wet chalk, almost quinine-like bitterness tidying up the finish. Winemaker’s […]

J&S Fielke Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir 2022
$40.00One of my favourite red wines of 2023, at a price point that is swamped by good but unexciting examples of pinot. Well, this is amazing. Ripe stewed red fruits of rhubarb, strawberry, cherry and cranberry, with a sweet and savoury spice element. Floral too, with lavender, violet and geranium. Open and beautifully proportioned, with […]

Badia a Coltibuono Cultusboni Cetamura Chianti 2020
$38.00All of Badia a Coltibuono’s Chiantis share the same DNA and it is evident throughout all the wines. Classic, poised and balanced. Certainly the softest, plumpest and fruit driven of the three releases, with less tertiary elements. Red fruits, dried flowers, tobacco and the lovely skinsy Sangiovese tannins that hold it all together. Perfect bistro/restaurant […]

Stargazer Single Vineyard Riesling 2023
$35.00A feinherb style that is at once richer and more tense than the 2022. Stunning aromatics of green mango, kiwi, star jasmine, pink grapefruit, lime, white cherry and blackcurrant. Stunning breadth, absolutely palate coating, focused, intense and mineral. The fruit is perfectly ripe, yet tangy, mouthwatering and so pristine, you’ll have to have another sip. […]

Juxtaposed Old Vine Grenache 2021
$35.00The emblematic wine of Juxtaposed, as it’s drawn from both the Wait and Smart vineyards. Its style, one of richness, flesh and silken texture run through all the reds and the quality here is incredible, making this quite possibly the best value grenache in Australia. Deep. Sweet cassis, kirsch, cola, aniseed, creamy vanilla, cured meats, […]

Gembrook Hill Village Pinot Noir 2022
$35.00Out of Stock
A taste of Gembrook Hill’s quality and style, but not from their vineyards. Classic Yarra Valley pinot notes. Sweet red fruits of English strawberry, raspberry, poached plum, violets and hints of fresh compost. There’s something incisive about the aromatics. They’re vibrant, but pointed, the flavours vivid and translucent. Medium to full bodied, plush and built […]

Polperro Talland Hill Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00Very savoury to sweet, we come to the Talland Hill vineyard. The warmest of the Polperro single vineyards, but it has to be noted that it’s still a very cool site by any measure. Always the richest, curvaceous and dark fruited, the 2021 has yielded the finest release to date. Black fruits, violets, liquorice, cinnamon […]

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 […]

Farr Rising Gamay 2022
$55.00This is a particularly smoky, earthen, tobacco-strewn edition of Farr’s Moorabool Valley gamay, the word ‘savouriness’ almost going without saying. It’s a dry, woodsy, leafy wine with a line of juicy red cherry-like fruit washing throughout, and personality at every turn. It’s also firm with tannin, in the most measured and uncompromising of ways. Tight, […]
