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, […]

J&S Fielke Lenswood Chardonnay 2023
$40.00The 2022 was, is amazing, the 2023 is even better. Stylistically the same, but with greater precision and mid palate weight. It’s rich, but in no way heavy, fleshy and juicy.

Maker Master Merchant Rose 2022
$25.00Mostly Sangiovese, with smaller amounts of Shiraz and Montepulciano. I love that this isn’t trying to be Bandol or Provence, that it wears the Australian sun on its shoulders.

Polperro Estate Pinot Gris 2024
$45.00When most of us think of the Mornington Peninsula, we think of pinot noir and chardonnay. Pinot Gris/grigio should be added to the list, the best in Australia comes from here. Think Quealy, think Polperro. I wouldn’t normally “love” a pinot gris from anywhere, but this is stunning. Pear, smoke, mushroom, kiwi fruit, white peach, […]

J&S Fielke Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir 2022

Ripe stewed red fruits of rhubarb, strawberry, cherry and cranberry, with a sweet and savoury spice element. Floral too, with lavender, violet and geranium. Open and beautifully proportioned, with […]
