Grosset Springvale Riesling 2024
$55.00An attractive and approachable, understated expression emerges from this ’24 release of Springvale. Lemon-lime, some orange peel, faint minty notes, green apple juice, with some lemon verbena and tutti-frutti floral notes expressed through scents and flavours alike. Texture is somewhat waxy, the finish cool and firm, bright and zesty. Very enjoyable right now, a little […]

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2023
$39.00A great vintage for this wine and a classic, contemporary expression of Yarra Valley Chardonnay. Expressive and packed with energy. White peach, jasmine, nectarine, lemon zest and grapefruit. Very fresh style, but softer and not as high pitched as the single vineyards. Terrific value. Waters Wine Co An even split of upper and lower […]

Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2023
$75.00Out of Stock
An outstanding release of this vaunted wine. It’s intense, it’s racy, it’s complex and nuanced in its fruit, spice, mineral and subtle savoury elements, all of it woven into an extremely persistent and poised textural experience. There’s stacks of flavour in all this, yet held within a tensile thrust of raciness and faint chalky pucker. […]

Grosset Alea Riesling 2024
$45.00Alea holds some additional sweetness as its canon. There’s an appealing and ultra-high drinkability here. Charm in spades. Floral scents of frangipani and lemon blossom with candied ginger, lime juice, just-ripe pineapple and tonic water. Similar to taste with a slipperiness to texture that feels well metered by the building crispness of the finish. More […]

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2023
$55.00A flavoursome release of this stalwart Clare riesling; easy access in youth with a sense of high drinkability, concentration of flavour and crystalline acidity. Scents of frangipani, sweet lime, ozone and green apple with similar flavours and a fine, chalky pucker to texture. There’s a general prettiness, an inviting juiciness, despite the excellent, powdery textural […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00Out of Stock
From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]

Te Mata Estate Chardonnay 2022
$30.00Vibrant white-gold, Estate Chardonnay ’22 dazzles with bright lemon blossom and concentrated white peach. On the palate, all the ripe Hawke’s Bay stone fruit on offer softens to mascarpone and macadamia, with barrel-ferment notes of toast, biscuit and woodsmoke. The lingering finish of Estate Chardonnay ’22 is fine and dry, marrying the wine’s fresh fruit […]

Te Mata Awatea Cabernet Merlot 2019
$50.00Very bright, deep, youthful purple/red colour. The aromas are outstandingly deep and bright and youthfully fresh; violets, red and blue fruits rocketing out of the glass, oak barely visible in the background. The wine is soft-textured and medium to full-bodied, elegant and pure, seamless and long. An utterly delicious cabernet blend. 95 Points – Huon […]

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00A bright crimson red. After a few good few swirls, aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries, wild herbs and some crushed violets soon emerge. The palate, though, doesn’t need much coaxing, and this silken, sappy wine has excellent depth and persistence. Will be even better six to 12 months from now. 96 points – Philip […]

MMAD Shiraz 2022
$75.00An incredible wine and a new benchmark for McLaren Vale Shiraz. Deep in colour, flavour and aromatics. Immensely complex with violets, roses, dark chocolate, crushed red fruits, blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, cigar box and black olive. Rich and full bodied, with waves of succulent fruit, fresh compost, vanilla bean, campfire, toasted brioche, soy, seaweed, clove, licorice […]

MMAD Grenache 2022
$75.00Unusually for a Grenache the 2022 Mmad evolved and transformed itself so much over the 3 or so hours we tried. Floral with violets and geraniums, earthy notes, pine nettles, red fruit compote, milk chocolate, creaming soda, sage, mint and blacker fruits becoming more apparent the longer it’s open. What started out as a little […]

MMAD Rose 2024
$38.00The second release of rosé for MMAD, and from all varieties on the old vineyard: grenache, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chenin blanc. Like the 2023, the proportions are a mystery, and lifted herbal notes of cabernet again lead the aromatics, but the colour has been dialled down to a classic coral pink. Grenache lends red-fruited […]

Fragrant, with sweet red summer fruits, blackberry, sweet and savoury spice, florals and dark cherry. Beautiful weight, medium-bodied with a lovely fleshy mid palate and firm backbone of tannin. Pure, translucent and savoury, every element harmonised and counter […]
