Fighting Gully Road Verdicchio 2025
$35.00A wine of quiet confidence, beautifully balanced between richness and finesse. Medium to full-bodied and wonderfully textural, it unfolds in layers of white stone fruit and delicate blossom, with a vibrant citrus core adding lift and energy. A fine saline thread runs through the palate, bringing tension and definition, while bright, mouth-watering acidity carries the […]

Traviarti Nebbiolo 2022
$75.00The 2022 vintage, of which we bought up the entirety of stock that was left, is showing magnificently. 2022 was a cool and wet season, ensuring a very late harvest, excellent for Nebbiolo and the development of long, complex tannins. Aromas of cool and tangy red and hedge fruits, baking spices, lavender and rose, and […]

Immensely satisfying wine. Norris at Waters Wine Co. Intense aromas of dark cherries, spiced plums, and cinnamon spice are intertwined with hints of violets, cedar, […]

Fighting Gully Road Aglianico 2018
$45.00The winemaker has a close connection with Italy, hence the decision to plant 1450 individually-staked aglianico vines on a terrace at FGR. A fascinating grape brought to life and, importantly, managed beautifully, massaging its notoriously high tannin and acidity and bringing forth a veritable cavalcade of exotic, savoury aromas and flavours in bramble, black cherry, […]

A Rodda Smiths Vineyard Beechworth Chardonnay 2024
$85.00A bit of a sleeper at first, with airy notes of flint, nutmeg and fennel coming to the fore. With a little more nudging, spiced stone-fruits and earthy wafts of fresh moss appear. The core exudes a quiet confidence, anchored by stone-fruits layered with flint, white button mushroom and sweet spices. It’s been handled with […]

Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2024
$50.00Twelve months in 300L French Tronçais barrels followed by three months on lees in tank before bottling. Chardonnay, the undoubted strength of Beechworth, was one of the first fruits picked in the ’24 vintage at FGR, retaining sensational, energised acidity while keeping a pretty tight flavour profile. Spring blossom aromatics mingle with tangy citrus and […]

Fighting Gully Road Sangiovese 2024
$35.00Medium-bodied, with plush, fine-grained tannins that linger. Brambly dark berries, sour cherry and plum lead, with nuances of dried herbs, raspberry and earthy savouriness. Mouthwatering and beautifully composed. “Mark Walpole loves sangiovese and the feeling is reciprocated. This is a mighty strong follow-up to the ’23, fairly bristling in cherry-fruited and aromatic brightness and […]

Traviarti Black Springs Nebbiolo 2023
$60.00Traviarti’s Simon Grant helped establish this vineyard, which will no doubt be a source of great Nebbiolo. Considering how young the vines are, this is remarkable. Highly aromatic – more so than the estate wine – with crushed rose, English summer fruit compote, beetroot and ruby grapefruit. The palate is expansive and finely shaped, with […]

A Rodda Cuvee de Chais 2022
$38.00An array of red and purple fruits (think redcurrants, dark cherries and plums), heightened by aromas of violets and wild herbs. The supple fruit characters are interwoven with fine, velvety tannins giving the wine great balance and finesse. ‘Cuvée de Chais’ loosely translates as Cellar Blend and is Adrian’s interpretation of a traditional Bordeaux […]

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2018
$60.00Tasted alongside the 2017, the 2018 vintage is warmer and drier, and so fuller, with a slightly darker fruit profile and pronounced structure. Gorgeous aromatics of cola, aniseed, cassis, rose, geranium, bitumen and savoury spice. Rich and full flavoured, but in no way heavy and the overall impression is one of translucence and purity. Round […]

Traviarti Nebbiolo 2023
$75.00Understated aromatics, but nothing a good swirl and cupping of glass won’t sort out! Black/hedge and red fruits, ruby grapefruit, a little reductive, smokey, alpine herbs, licorice and pink peppercorns. A totally different beast to the Black Springs; deeper and more brooding. Wider in shape, the fruit plusher and very complex, sweet but very tangy, […]

Domenica Rose 2025
$35.00Very light salmon-pink hue; rose petal/pot-pourri aromas rise from the glass; damp straw and poached quince as well. It’s light, refreshing and dry on the tongue, savoury rather than grapy, with a faint note of deli meats. Lovely balance and drinkability. A very smart and more-ish rosé. 95 points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review […]

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. […]

Fighting Gully Road Rose 2024
$30.00Mark Walpole has an international reputation as one of Australia’s great viticulturists, particularly with Italian varieties, but the quality of Fighting Gully Road is as much a testament to his winemaking as his vineyards. The 2024 Rosé shouldn’t be this exciting, but it is. Serious, textured and utterly delicious, with creamy red fruits, apricot, savoury […]

It is a wine of remarkable generosity and presence, delivering a sense of luxury that far exceeds its price. Brilliantly aromatic, it opens with vibrant lime and grapefruit, layered […]

Juliard GSM 2023
$48.00A GSM from Beechworth may sound incongruous, but if ever you were ever in any doubt of the greatness and versatility of the region, Juliard’s GSM will change your mind. All the varietals shine in this blend and this is certainly greater than the sum of its parts. The fruit is estate grown, planted on […]

Savaterre Frere Cadet Chardonnay 2024
$80.00According to Keppell Smith, this chardonnay is from a neighbour’s vineyard, and if I had to guess, I would think it’s the wonderful Indigo vineyard. It’s even more dialed up than the estate in terms of lifted aromatics and luminosity. Orchard fruit, lime, grapefruit, wood spice, cashew and buttered toast combine on a bright, slick […]

Fighting Gully Road Block 2 Sangiovese 2023
$65.00Welcome to a brand new world of sangiovese, where the grape in Australia takes on a rare status – one of power, intensity and grace. An underlying savouriness rests in the embrace of dark cherries, plum, blackberry, dried flowers, thyme, fennel seed, woody spices and a hint of pepper. The florals shine at this early […]

A Rodda Tete de Cuvee Beechworth Cabernets 2019
$85.00Why oh why don’t we drink more Cabernet? Well this is a blend, Cabernet dominant mind, and that beggars the next question; why don’t we drink more blends? Two for one here, one of Australia’s best Bordeaux blends, alongside Wantirna, Yeringberg and Mount Mary. Beautiful aromatics of cassis, blackberry, mulberry, cranberry, lavender tobacco and sandalwood. […]

Sorrenberg Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot 2024
$80.00Sorrenberg is very Bordeaux, very Paulliac, very bloody excellent. Signature aromatics, you just want to keep your nose in the glass. Cassis, dark cherry, pencil shavings, plum, bay leaf, woodsmoke and sweet earth. Generous, full flavoured and detailed. Plush and incisive, with terrific energy and flow, the tannins grainy, a piqued acidity. Effortless power, it’s […]

Juliard Shiraz 2021
$38.00I asked one of the most influential winemaker’s in Beechworth recently what he thought Beechworth was best at and his answer surprised me: shiraz. Really!? Not nebbiolo, chardonnay, pinot noir, or sangiovese. Nup, trust me he said, shiraz. Beechworth’s shiraz is different. A sort of combination of Northern Rhone/Barossa/contemporary Heathcote. Juliard’s is medium to full […]

Domenica Gamay 2025
$45.00Very good depth of red-purple colour, bright in the glass, and showing ripe plum to black cherry on the nose, a note of sweet licoricey spices, and mercifully no bubblegum carbonic maceration overtone. Very good intensity of flavour and an appealing backbone of fine tannins which add to structure and length. An excellent gamay, which […]

Domenica Chenin Blanc 2025
$45.00Light yellow, with apple and pear aromatics, a spicy overlay probably from the barrels, a hint of straw, and cashewnut as the wine warms in the glass. Light bodied and crisp, fresh, clean and refreshing, with again that green-apple acidity cleansing the finish. Very appealing and true to variety. 91 points, Huon Hooke – The […]

Savaterre Pinot Noir 2024
$100.00From one of Australia’s earliest close-planted vineyards, established on granite and clay soils, this is a Pinot Noir of remarkable presence and refinement. The aromatics are expansive and deeply expressive, revealing an intensely floral bouquet layered with English summer berries, blackberry, mulberry, tar, exotic Lebanese spices, a wisp of smoke and the first savoury hints […]
