Castle Rock Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00Beautiful pinot noir from Castle Rock, tasted alongside several older vintages, affirming their great aging potential. A difficult hot year 2023, it’s had to believe that such as pure, supple and translucent wine could be forged from such difficulty. Medium bodied, with the black and hedge fruits mashed with licorice, mace, fennel, pink peppercorns and […]

$28.00Hamlets Shiraz (previously known as Parishes Shiraz) is a blend from different sub regions or “Hamlets” from where we grow and buy grapes from across the Barossa Valley. Hamlets Shiraz is made in a complex but juicy style that is true to our house style but extremely easy to drink though complex enough to be […]

Castle Rock RS21 Riesling 2021
$25.00The RS21 Riesling from Castle Rock is a medium dry Riesling which has wonderful balance between natural acidity and the residual sugar left in the wine. Feijoa and lime evident on the palate, backed by some floral notes. The sugar gives a lovely richness to the mid palate. The Riesling acid structure is in excellent […]

Wild Duck Creek Springflat Shiraz 2021
$75.00There is a ‘brilliance’ to the colour of this wine, really purple with a red hue. Taken from four sites, 60% of the blend comes from the south of Heathcote and the remainder from the northern sites. Combination of American and French oak, 45% being new. Intense aromas of bright red fruits, chocolate and strawberry […]

Giannitessari Soave 2023
$30.00Made from mostly Garganega, with Trebbiano providing aromatic lift and structure. Quite succulent for a Soave, and softer, broader than the Classico. Melon, almonds, frangipani, lemon, apricot and white peach. Very easy to drink, with a perfect tension of zing and gentle texture to match with food, or not, it really doesn’t matter.

Curator Wine Co Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$32.00Barossa Valley Cabernet is one of our great underrated wine styles. Curator’s effort is very cabernet and as it should be, very Barossa. Deep and vibrant colour, with soaring, glorious aromatics of black fruits, lavender and wood spice. Full bodied, full of vigour and strength, with savoury herbs, licorice, camp fire, creme de cassis, dark […]

Wild Duck Creek Reserve Shiraz 2018
$140.00Almost black with a dark purple hue, yet the wine is bright, rich and seductive. 5% whole bunch here, adding a vibrant lift from the glass. The nose is all black pastel, charcoal, spice and red fruit compote. The palate has a wonderful electricity about it, with beautiful acids and a smooth finish. It’s full […]

Castle Rock Skywalk Riesling 2022
$25.00This is a wine that is always an impressive performer and represents top value for the asking price. Pretty scents of white flowers diffuse. Old school lemonade surges with a green apple drive. So fresh, there is a hint of cucumber in the midst too. Soft, talc feels roll out to a long and refreshing […]

Rob Hall Cabernets 2023
$30.00Rob knows a thing or two about cabernet, most likely, I’m guessing, from his days at Mount Mary. A brilliant, crimson purple, this fragrant wine leaps out of the glass with its bouquet of cassis, liqueur cherries, cedar, violets and just a soupçon of fresh tomato leaf. Medium bodied, this juicy-fruited wine is impeccably balanced […]

Rob Hall Harriet’s Vineyard Chardonnay 2022
$40.00From Harriet’s vineyard in Healesville. Two batches: one whole-bunch pressed, the other destemmed with 24 hours’ skin contact. Matured in seasoned hogsheads and puncheons. A bright green gold. Subtle and complex with its bouquet of just-picked white nectarines, lightly grilled nuts, lemongrass and a little sea spray. Fills out nicely on the mid-palate and there’s […]

Wild Duck Creek Ducks and Drakes Cabernets 2022
$47.00Impenetrable yet vivid colour. Gorgeous nose of blackcurrant, kirsch, lavender and a touch of tobacco. Full bodied, with glossy blue and black fruits, cigar box, coal dust, chocolate and cherries. It’s certainly within the Wild Duck mould, but like all their releases since 2020, a new level of vigour and intensity has entered the wines. […]

Collemattoni Rosso do Montalcino 2020
$45.00A defining traditional Brunello producer, Collemattoni’s wines offer a magical tension of lightness and power, pure fruit and earthy/meaty/herbal savouriness. Made from 100% Sangiovese and aged for 14 months in Slovenian oak, the ageing has burred some of Sangiovese’s angular structure, without sacrificing any brightness or energy. Tangy and pure with fruits of blackberry, cassis, […]

Ca Matta Valpolicella Classico 2020
$35.00If I had to show a Valpolicella, a bottle that was a classic and typical example of the region, then it would have to be from Ca Matta. A classic blend of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara e Rebo and at only 12.5% alcohol, this looks tastes and feels like times past. Violets, […]

Wild Duck Creek Duck Muck 2021
$505.00A very rare wine of utmost intensity and exceptional quality, rewarding careful cellaring. Duck Muck was first made by a stroke of luck. Some super-ripe Shiraz was picked from Wild Duck Creek’s Original Vineyard and made into wine, which didn’t quite fill a barrel. The barrel was then topped up with Alan’s Cabernet Pressings, being […]

Rob Hall Harriet’s Pinot Noir 2023
$42.00From the ’96-planted Harriet’s Vineyard in Healesville; 35% whole bunches and matured (50%) in 1-year-old puncheons; the remainder in seasoned hogsheads. Bright crimson. Nicely perfumed with aromas of strawberries, redcurrants, musk and a little crushed violet. The mid-weight palate is nicely balanced with both good acidity and gently grippy tannins that will need another six […]

Rob Hall Chardonnay 2023
$30.00A blend of two vineyards. Willowlake (cooler southern end of the valley), and my folks vineyard (south of Healesville). Predominantly fermented in older French hogsheads (300L). There’s flavours of curd and fresh cream, white peach and citrus. It’s leesy and fresh, but with nice weight on the palate. Winemaker’s Notes

Wild Duck Creek Sparkling Duck Shiraz NV
$80.00Exceptionally rare. A wine that I think embodies this estate like no other, showcasing their ability to make elegant, savoury and very complex wines, not just dark and massive monsters. Dark in colour, but less so than their still shiraz’s, and there is a greater emphasis on tertiary notes. The fruit profile is very complex, […]

Castle Rock Estate Porongurup Riesling 2024
$29.00Always from the first press juice, as always this is terrific. 2024 is a very warm vintage of low yields and deep concentration, but somehow Castle Rock manage a stunning mineral, energetic and pure riesling, regardless of conditions. White flowers, citrus blossom/fruit/zest, with oyster shell, thyme and pink lady apple. Juicy and easy drinking, it’s […]

Whole bunches are on the rise at 78% (such a precise number!) lending baking spices, fennel and a gorgeous silken flow. Savoury and spicy, with lovely tangy fruit and buoyant acidity bringing great vigour and energy. Medium bodied, yet […]
