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 […]

After the primary fermentation the wine was sulphured and transferred to a large cask for ageing on the heavy yeast less fo 12-months. Medium-full bodied textural wine, supported […]

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, […]

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 […]

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
$55.00Out of Stock
Tasted 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 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. Very aromatic, indeed more so than the estate wine, with crushed roses, compote of English summer fruits, pickled beetroot and ruby grapefruit. Gorgeous open palate, shaped like the draw […]

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, […]

Sentio Beechworth Chardonnay 2023
$50.00Fruit sourced from two vineyards, both planted in the ‘90s with classic Ordovician soils – a mixture of mudstone, shale, and granite. Handpicked, basket-pressed and fermented on lees. Fermented and aged in a combination of large-format oak (foudre) and barrique, some new. The structure and integrity of the fruit is intense. The vibrancy of the […]

Fighting Gully Road Rose 2024
$30.00Mark Walpole of Fighting Gully Road has an international reputation as a viticulturist, particularly in regard to Italian varietals. Yet the quality of his wines isn’t entirely due to the magnificent quality of his vineyards, but also his excellence as a winemaker. The 2024 rose shouldn’t be exciting, but it is, and it’s wonderful and […]

Eldorado Road Quasimodo Red Blend 2023
$28.00“The winemaker uses the term “affable” to describe what he is aiming for. Affable it most certainly is. Nero d’Avola makes the running with its luscious raspberry, cherry fruits and herbs, while shiraz brings the spice and depth. The third player, durif, adds a dark, brooding tannic presence. Together they bring energy and fruit power […]

Eldorado Road Dreamfields Fiano 2024
$30.00“Pressed to stainless steel, fermented in French oak with a mix of wild and cultured yeasts, 5 months in oak on full lees. All hail North East Vic fiano, a grape that, vintage after vintage, shines. So aromatic – spring flowers, white peach, citrus, baked apple – and so concentrated across the middle palate, but […]

Juliard GSM 2023
$45.00A 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 […]

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. […]

It’s one serious sangiovese, still evolving, still very much a taut, precision-driven engine yet to reveal […]

Juliard Shiraz 2021
$35.00I 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 […]
