Condado De Haza Ribera del Duero Crianza 2018
$50.00Perhaps a little less plush than than the Pesquera Crianza’s, with more earth and ferrous notes. It’s not rustic, a little less fine perhaps, but I love it’s burliness. Spice laden, dark fruits, some crunchy red ones too, lavender wood, smoke and bay leaf. Presence of chew, the tannins a rougher velvet and a vibrancy […]

Castle Rock Diletti Pinot Noir 2023
$52.00One of Western Australia’s finest pinot noirs, the 2023 Diletti is the best we have tasted.

Trutta Pinot Gris 2024
$28.00Fermented on skins, lasting about 10 days. So the wine is skinsy, but only to a point, with full malolactic fermentation lending a certain richness and flesh, tensioned by minerals, savoury spice, texture and salinity. Very complex fruit profile, from citrus, yellow fruit, red fruit and apples. Norris at Waters Wine Co

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. Every single wine from this producer should be sought out, bought and drunk […]

Joshua Cooper Claret 2024
$38.00I am forever surprised at the lack of support for Cabernet Sauvignon and cabernet blends, particularly when I am lucky enough to sample Josh Coopers wonderful wines. Not as edgy or angular as his later released wines, this nonetheless has some wonderful rough hewn tannins and a back lift of bright acidity. Blackcurrant, plum, cherry, […]

Chateau du Cedre Heritage 2020
$30.00Such gorgeous aromatics of blackcurrant, lavender, violets, plum and cherry liqueur. Rich, but in no way heavy, fleshy and lithe. There is always such tension and balance with the Cedre wines, and all of this achieved without any additions save a little Sulphur at bottling. Very long close, fresh and lively, the pumice like tannins […]

Swinney Mourvedre 2023

Fragrant, savoury spice, blackcurrant, lavender, glace cherry, autumn leaves, cured meat, Provencal herbs and pink peppercorn. The firmest, most savoury and mineral of the estate wines. Medium bodied, with black olive, hedge fruits, seaweed, oyster shell and licorice. […]

Bessin-Tremblay Chablis Vieilles Vignes 2022

“Five Star Wine. Equally pale but even more striking, with the saline mineral nose and a sense of purity. A striking freshness of fruit, Kimmeridge put to good use, with a lovely clean and pure finish. Real delicacy with intensity.” 92 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “A more direct and intense aroma – there’s more […]

$95.00From a single vineyard planted in the late ’90s; native-yeast ferment with 20% whole bunches; matured in French oak (10% new) for 10 months. The whole bunch adds a crackling component here, an autumnal rustle, which is suffused with fruit as the wine is buoyed with air, redcurrant and wild red cherry unfurling. Carraway, rhubarb, […]

David Moreau Bourgogne Pinot Noir Sous Montot 2022

Adams Wein Weissburgunder 2022
$45.00If you wanted to know why pinot blanc is one of the permitted varieties of Champagne and Burgundy, you need to try this wine. You can taste and feel the similarities it has with chardonnay and aligoté. Concentrated, coiled and tight, with size, curve and generosity. The flavours are incredibly complex with some high toned […]

Craiglee Eadie Shiraz 2019
$48.00Funnily enough, when I tried this, I thought there was a dash of viognier, as it reminded me of Cote Rotie. Super fragrant with cured meats, fresh compost, smoke, Middle Eastern spices, black and red fruits and violets. Full bodied, succulent, masses of fruit and rich, oozing tannins. Very different from the estate shiraz and […]

Lelie van Saron Chardonnay 2021
$60.00Alcohol levels have been creeping up for years, yet the 2021 Lelie van Saron still only weighs in at 12.8%. Reminds me of Burgundy 20 years ago. Astonishingly focused, aromatic, intense, precise, powerful and decadent. Decadent is a dirty word in wine nowadays, but let’s be honest; great chardonnay is extravagant. From a vineyard in […]

Olifantsberg Soul of the Mountain The Matriach 2019

However, Grenache blanc and Chenin blanc complements Roussanne extremely well to create the perfect blend. 72% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc and 8% Chenin Blanc. The complexity of this wine lies in the collection […]

Gilbert Pinot Noir 2023
$32.00So often too lean or too worked, Orange pinot noir has hit a sweet spot with Gilbert’s 2023. Pretty and floral, with savoury spices, hedge fruits, and tangy rhubarb, plum and English strawberry. Packed with flavour, mineral; lithe and sleek. It’s not silky, there’s too much texture, and for all its lightness, there’s plenty of […]

Massolino Barolo 2019
$110.00“The 2019 Barolo is a very serious wine. Readers looking for an easygoing, entry-level Barolo will not find that here. Bright and sizzling with tannin, the 2019 is going to need at least a few years to fully come together. Crushed rocks, red/purplish fruit and dried flowers emerge with some coaxing, but this is really […]
