  Kay Brothers Cuthbert Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

  $55.00

  Released in top vintages, which, for winemaker Duncan Kennedy, are generally the cooler ones, with this registering at 13% alcohol. Ageing was in French hogsheads. A cooler year, yes, and modest abv, but this has neatly poised ripeness, capturing mulberry, forest berries, blue and black, while also feeding in some blackcurrant leaf, hedgerow and violet. […]

  Somos Biodynamic Albarino 2024

  $35.00

  Such a gorgeous wine with grapefruit, pear, yellow fruits, preserved lime, lemon, pink lady apple, jasmine and honey. Wonderfully fully flavoured and succulent, with texture and citrus drive focusing and lengthening the palate. All of the Somos wine’s are for drinking upon release, and the prices are eye wateringly cheap, but I would love to […]

  Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Shiraz 2023

  $74.00

  If I had to a serve a South Australian shiraz to a European, unversed in Australian wine, then this would be it. Fragrant, with a compote of brambly, red and blueberry fruit, bitter chocolate, Middle Eastern spices, fresh compost, licorice subtle oak. Lucious and sexy, with an intensity and lavishness of fruit that could only […]

  Saltfleet Chenin Blanc 2026

  $34.00

  Originating in France’s Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc is a wonderfully adaptable variety that thrives in a range of climates. Saltfleet’s is grown by the Brini family in Blewitt Springs, rooted in deep sandy soils that bring freshness and finesse to the wine. Barrel fermented and rested on lees for six weeks, this is a beautifully […]

  Vanguardist Oeno Syrah 2024

  $44.00

  The 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 […]

  Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Shiraz 2024

  $75.00

  From the Hickinbotham vineyard, with these vines planted in 1971 to red soils studded with ironstone. It’s an elevated, relatively cool site and certified biodynamic. 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, […]

  Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Syrah 2023

  $35.00

  A cool year and philosophical evolution have produced a relatively elegant syrah suite in ’23. And this is a fine entry point, sketching out the style. A lovely perfume here, with cool boysenberry, violet, iodine, black leaf tea, nori, lilac and blackberry pastille. It’s compact on the palate, clocking in at modest alcohol and with […]

  Gentle Folk Syrah 2024

  $45.00

  Like most of the Gentle Folk portfolio, this evolves over days in much the same way as a living thing, breathing in air and changing shape, opening and unfurling. The fruit is sourced from two of the very best vineyards in the Adelaide Hills: Murdoch Hill and Turnbull. Swathes of blue fruits, including blueberry and […]
