Patrick Sullivan Chardonnay 2023
$29.00Patrick Sullivan has wanted to make an entry-level wine for some time, one that would fit in with his Gippsland stable; he looked to the Limestone Coast because of the volcanic soils and quality of groundwater, so fruit from Mount Gambier and Coonawarra. It’s a lovely wine, gentle yet persuasive, with a wave of white […]

Gentle Folk Piccadilly Chardonnay 2023
$65.00An incredible contemporary Australian chardonnay, from the great Piccadilly vineyard. Bright, vivid and intense aromatics of lemon and limes, zest, juice and preserved, ruby grapefruit and mandarin blossom. Tense and coiled, eyewatering in its crispness and cut. Linear and concentrated, with some fleshy stone fruit buffeting the sides. No doubt time will see greater flesh […]

Gentle Folk Scary Gully Pinot Noir 2023
$65.00Amongst a very small group of producers who are able to combine sweet fruit, savoury flavours and tannins you can taste as much as you can feel. Super aromatic with mixed Middle Eastern spices, blackberry, dark cherry, sweet raspberry and mixed flowers of lavender, geranium and roses. Very savoury, elegant, controlled and European. Something Chianti […]

Gentle Folk Village Grenache 2022
$45.00An incredible infusion of red fruits, potpourri, savoury and sweet spice. Medium bodied, in a way, as the palate seems to add greater depth and size. Rich and flavoursome, slick and silky with a lovely squeeze of tannin on the close. Elegant, pretty and more serpentine than most McLaren Vale Grenache’s, pinot-esque and fine boned […]

Patrick Sullivan Baw Baw Chardonnay 2023
$69.00“A slight gold hue, yet bright. An unusual offering this vintage with full-on flavours and yet it’s not unwieldy. Let this breathe and open up, then expect quince paste, lime marmalade, saffron-infused peaches and creamed honey lees. Plenty of perky acidity, a light phenolic tug; the palate is textural and luscious, a little juicy, too. […]

Patrick Sullivan Bull Swamp Chardonnay 2023
$85.00The bold and the beautiful. Sexy aromatics of spring jasmine, sunflower, pumpkin seed, citrus peel, breadcrumbs and mixed spice. So chardonnay, yet quixotic. Tense and coiled, with a ridge of green apple, flavours tumbling either side. White peach, nectarine, ruby grapefruit, mandarin, preserved citrus and tabouli. A tension of opposites, reserved for only the world’s […]

Gentle Folk Monomeith Pinot Noir 2023
$65.00Same winemaking as the Scary Gully Pinot Noir, with 20% whole bunches and 15% new oak. Elemental, angular and slippery, a totally different expression. Gorgeous aromatics of sweet and tangy red fruits, boysenberry, Five Spice, clove and fennel. A very Adelaide Hills expression. Medium bodied, lifted, with lovely tangy tones, the acidity a greater feature, […]

Patrick Sullivan Black Sands Chardonnay 2022
$48.00Out of Stock
Light-medium straw colour; aromas of poached peach, melon skin, a note of freshly sliced almond. Citron also. The wine is broad and concentrated in the front of the mouth, the finish dropping away just a little early, and leaving a faintly bitter echo from phenolics. Possibly some skin ferment? A left-field style, and pretty smart […]

$65.00One of the great Adelaide Hills vineyards – a site that’s cool with rocky, shallow soils. Super vibrant and expressive with nectarine, white peach, grapefruit, smoky/flinty notes and white chocolate. Succulent, fleshy, focused and concentrated. Savoury spice hits you immediately and sits long on the palate, riding the stream of pulpy, silky texture and flow. […]

Adelina Shiraz 2022
$65.00Col McBryde told me that he liked to drink Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo whilst at home and their influence is clear. Expressive with kirsch, lavender, pink peppercorns, cassis, blackberry, cocoa, mint, fresh compost and a ferrous quality not always present in Clare shiraz. Medium bodied and mouthwatering, the fruit picked perfectly ripe. Very pure, deep […]
