Meadowbank Blanc de Blancs 2018
$85.00I don’t normally like fizzes aged for long periods on lees but this, disgorged after five years, seems to have hit a sweet spot. Still very primary and super intense with pastry notes, butter, apple, almond cream, lavender, honey, grapefruit, lemon, lime, white peach and cinnamon. Fantastic intensity with great vibrancy, the acidity so lively […]

Murdoch Hill Artisan Series Apollo Pinot Noir 2022
$85.00The colour’s so pale, it’s hard to imagine the power, intensity and sheer presence that such a pretty wine can have. Very complex aromatics of tangy red fruits, cool hedge fruits, Chinese five spice, blood orange, savoury spice and wild herbs. Deep and concentrated, the tannins, skin and bunch are present to swirl, taste and […]

$155.00“The 2022 Treinspoor is pure Swartland Tinta Barocca that includes 50% whole clusters, 20 to 28 days on the skins and matured in old foudres. The bouquet is a little plusher on the nose than the Pofadder, with crushed rose petals and fynbos – garrigue. Stunning delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannins, perfectly […]

Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

$180.00The 2016 Extra Brut Blanc de Noirs Les Longues Voyes 1er Cru is a dense, powerful Champagne built on vertical intensity.

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spatlese Museum Release 2015
$120.00Pre-arrival due August Prüm’s 2015 Graacher Himmelreich Spätlese is clear, intense and flinty on the nose, very precise but well concentrated; however, it is the most reductive of the Spätlese quartet. Round and piquant, with a stimulating fruit and salinity, this is a very well-defined, crystalline and straight Spätlese of great finesse and elegance. It […]

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 […]

Guffens-Heynen Bourgogne Jeunes Vignes et Derniers Jus 2022
$90.00“The 2022 Bourgogne Jeunes Vignes et Derniers Jus is a medium-bodied, ample and fleshy wine evocative of peaches, beeswax, white flowers and orange oil. Open and expressive, it’s produced from the later press fractions from Guffens‘s other cuvées.” 86-88 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate In 2022, Jean-Marie brought together the first juices of the youngest […]

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 […]

Henri Germain Meursault Limozin 2022
$265.00“Another wine that has only partially completed its malolactic fermentation is the 2022 Meursault Le Limozin, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and fleshy wine that’s broader and more voluminous than the taut Chevalières. Offering up reductive aromas of pear, hazelnuts and iodine, it concludes with a long, mouthwatering finish.” 91-93 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate […]

Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette 2021
$58.00Out of Stock
Wild, sensual and exotic. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, blood plum, lavender and marzipan. Tangy red fruits dominate the palate, but it’s rhubarb that coats it, gifting the wine length and layered texture. Mineral as always, the plum skin and rhubarb texture giving way to velvet. Playful, absorbing. Waters Wine Co Click here for our full […]

$240.00Out of Stock
Previous Base. “The NV (2016) Les Vignes de Bisseuil races out of the glass, showing terrific energy and cut. White flowers, pear, mint, white pepper and lemon peel give the 2016 notable brightness to complement its mid-weight, focused personality.

Laughing Jack Greenock Shiraz 2019
$50.00Terrific rendition of Greenock Creek’s rich and opulent flavours. Full bodied, with black fruits, some sweet raspberry, sumac, cinnamon and wood spice. Round in shape, it’s not heavy and is surprisingly light on it’s feet. Despite all the apparent presence and flavour, there’s a youthful brightness, conveyed by the fine, soft tannins. Lovely focus and […]

Clos Larrouyat Jurancon Moelleux Phoenix 2020
$60.00Phoenix is crafted entirely from Petit Manseng. The drying southerly Foehn wind allows for the late harvests and passerillé necessary to produce Jurançon’s moelleux wines. The 2020 Phoenix was picked in November, then naturally fermented and aged for eight months in used barrels. With moderate residual sugar (of around 60 g/L), the racy Salharang style displays a terrific […]

Benjamin Leroux Vosne Romanee 2020

Quite powerful, not quite so harmonious but note that this has been tasted directly after the sublime Nuits-St-Georges Aux Boudots. Actually, this is a fine and nicely nuanced Vosne-Romanée.” 90-93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy “There is a very pretty, perfumed and high-toned […]

Quinta Do Noval 10 Year Old Tawny Port
$115.00Angular in shape, quite different from the two Colheitas. Super vibrant and intense, the youth shining through! Sweet red fruits, baking spices and orange zest. Long and harmonious, the spirit in the background, but becoming more apparent along the palate. I love the powdery tannins that squeeze through on the finish. Texturally complex, but also […]
