Tillie J Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2025
$40.00From two small parcels: Denton, on the Yarra Valley floor, and Seville, in the upper Yarra. Bright green gold. This is immediately appealing, with aromas of white peach, apple blossom and a touch of spice, the oak sitting subtly in the background. Even better on the taut, chalky, very even palate. Suited to pan-fried whiting […]

Wantirna Estate Amelia Cabernet Merlot 2023
$105.00A 45/45/10% cabernet sauvignon/merlot and cabernet franc/petit verdot blend with the majority coming off the original dry-grown 1963 plantings. A fabulous, bright crimson/purple. A touch riper and richer than the ’22. There’s a sumptuous core of dark fruits, violets, cedar and fresh pencil shavings on the nose. It’s just as enticing on the perfectly pitched, […]

$100.00A deep and brightly coloured crimson purple. Both to look at and smell, this is a concentrated and complex Wantirna pinot that’s going to need some time. Aromas of black cherry, damson plum and dried red rose petals lead onto the palate, which is densely packed, structured and very long. Have it with food now, […]

Tillie J Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2025
$42.00One-third whole bunches and matured in 10% new barriques. A medium, bright cherry-red. Aromas of cherry, pressed flowers and spice; noticeably richer than the ’24. Gently plush, the palate fans out nicely before finishing with grippy, well-formed tannins. Better with air and will continue to improve over the next few years. Nicely done, as always. […]

Wild fermented, aged on lees in old wood for 9 months; simple winemaking, complex results! Soaring aromatics of the freshest and most perfect fruit. Lemons, yellow […]

Timo Mayer Chardonnay 2025
$54.00“Replanted on rootstock in ’21, this is the first Mayer chardonnay from estate fruit since then. Bright green gold. Discreet aromas of white pear, a little citrus and yellow apple. Mouth-filling, gently textured and with racy acidity. Finishes chalky and long. Built to age superbly over the next six to seven years.” 95 Points – […]

A Rodda Willow Lake Vineyard Yarra Chardonnay 2024
$55.00The nose beckons with aromas of spiced white nectarine, alpine spice, baked fennel and nori. The tense palate is nervy and reticent in its youth, but you can feel the wine is going to be ready to change to a higher gear in a few months. Saline notes on the finish temper the spices and […]

Bicknell FC Lance Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon 2025
$85.00From the Lance vineyard in St. Andrews and off a block planted in 1976. 100% whole berries and matured in older barriques. A gorgeous crimson purple. This literally soars from the glass, with its fruit-driven nose redolent of blackcurrant, red cherry, lavender and just a soupçon of dried herbs. Medium bodied, the wine’s crunchy fruit […]

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 […]

Bicknell FC Lance Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon 2024
$85.00This is a wine that gets me unreasonably excited about Yarra cabernet. A tightrope walker, risk taker, the excitement coming from how close it gets to the edge. Mulberry fruit and leaf, cassis, cedar, rubbed rosemary. It’s the lithesome way it moves that excites. 142 dozen made. 12.7% alcohol. 97 points – Nick Ryan, The […]
