Hochkirch Villages Pinot Noir 2021
$50.00Out of Stock
This is 100% estate fruit, 25% whole bunches were retained while the balance of the crop was destemmed. A wild ferment was in small open vats and the juice had about three to four days rest before some gentle foot-stomping and a daily plunge. Everything was pressed after 14 days into tank, and then gravity-fed […]

Crawford River Riesling 2024
$58.00A very bright green gold. Smells like the essence of perfectly ripened lemon and lime, jasmine and frangipani together with a little apple blossom. Gently textured, this flows mellifluously across the palate, finishing saline, chalky and long. Just a touch richer than the ’23 and a beautiful wine to drink now and over the next […]

Hochkirch Maximus Pinot Noir 2021
$70.00Out of Stock
This is the best Pinot Noir that John can produce each year at Hochkirch, some years it is not made. These are the oldest vines and the best barrels. This wine always has a sensual, elegant mouthfeel but with outstanding retention of acidity and freshness and a distinctive earthy, sappy complexity which is the terroir. Pure, […]

Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py 2022
$95.00Out of Stock
The 2022 Morgon Côte du Py has another very attractive bouquet with just a touch more fruit intensity than the Côte du Py, wonderful mineralité and tension. Very composed. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a little sturdier than the Cuvée Corcelette. There’s fine grip toward the finish with a persistent peppery aftertaste. Be […]

Domaine de Ferrand Vieilles Vignes 2022
$45.0090% Grenache with Syrah/Mourvèdre/Cinsault. Planted in the 1920’s The 2022 Côtes Du Rhône ‘Vieilles Vignes’ which is from very old vines (important with Grenache) literally across the border of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP is by far the best example of this wine that I have seen, like his CNDP above. This is from a […]

Standish Wine Co The Standish 2021
$135.00Very deep colour and remarkably vivid considering the presumably long period in wood. There is bright purple towards the rim, fading from the deep blackness of the core, suggesting the inclusion of whole bunches. Intense aromatics, florals, black fruits, sweet and savoury spice. It’s not overly complex at present but the flavours are utterly captivating […]

Standish Wine Co The Relic 2022
$140.00The 2022 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier contains 2% Viognier skins, and this addition presents in this vintage as a core of raspberry and pomegranate. It is pure fruited and powerfully aromatic, as this cuvee always is. Interestingly, I am tasting this wine from two different glasses: one opened two days ago, one opened this morning. They […]

Crawford River Strata Riesling 2024
$38.00From a block planted in ’00/’01 on loam-dominant soils. A very bright green gold. Aromatic with classic citrus fruits together with some white peach, ripe pear, orange blossom and jasmine. Mouth-wateringly juicy and delicious with an underlying, fine vein of acidity. It’s super now and will continue to be so for quite some time. Yum. […]

Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py 2023
$100.00The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py comes from several parcels of granite and schistous soils with many centurion vines. This has a wonderful, very complex bouquet with exquisite delineation: crushed stone filters through dark berry fruit alongside hints of ash and light stony scents. The sapid and vivacious palate has filigree tannins, a silver thread of acidity, and […]

Jean Foillard Fleurie 2022
$125.00Out of Stock
For us, this is the easiest wine to drink now. Predominantly red fruits, flowers and very pretty. There is such an easy way about this wine that one can forget how serious it is. The palate is even and integrated, everything in its place. Red fruits, a touch of blueberry, thyme and coal smoke. The […]

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$70.00Bright ruby. Opens with a core of pure blackcurrant cabernet fruit together with scents of cedar, violets and a very gentle leafiness. The palate is youthful, refined and persistent and the tannins are silky yet long chained. It all adds up to a wine that, while good now, will age effortlessly over the next eight […]

Domaine de Ferrand Cotes du Rhone La Ferrande 2021

Philippe Bravay’s domaine is tiny (only 5.5 hectares) and the vines are situated around the outskirts of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP, in the lieu-dit Ferrand. His neighbours in this Northern fringe near Orange are Charvin, Marcoux and Beaucastel. La Ferrande is 100% Syrah, a grape that Philippe is intrigued by and so decided to […]

Jean Foillard Morgon Cuvee Corcelette 2022
$110.00The 2022 Morgon Cuvée Corcelette has a crisp and delineated bouquet brimming with energy. Lively red fruit seems to leap from the glass. The palate is beautifully built, svelte tannins matched with a silver bead of acidity, very harmonious with a lightly spiced and persistent finish. This has a bit of Liam-Gallagher-like swagger about it—nothing […]

David Moreau Bourgogne Pinot Noir Sous Montot 2021
$70.00It has a pretty bouquet with raspberry and wild strawberry scents very pure. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy red fruit and fine tannins with a slightly leafy finish.

Peter Lauer Petit Ayl Riesling Auslese 2018
$105.00Based on overripe and raisined grapes mostly from the Scheiterberg, the 2018 Auslese Petit Ayl is super ripe, intense and generous but clear and piquant on the nose where lemon zest and flinty notes intermingle. On the palate, this is a mouth-filling, piquant, refreshing and very digestible Auslese with an intense, lemon-fresh and piquant finish. […]
