Home Hill Estate Pinot Noir 2023
$65.00This is a beguiling and dreamy wine. Translucent, deep ruby/magenta with a harmonious bouquet of dark, jubey fruit, subtle florals, spicy rolling tobacco and wet stone.

Clemens Busch Marienburg Fahrlay Grosses Gewächs 2020
$160.0097 Points – “Smelling this is like looking into a deep abyss, and someone unfamiliar with intensely mineral dry riesling might feel a bit of vertigo. However, these grapefruit, white-tea and wild-herb aromas really excite us. On the sleek palate this is super-focused with a terrific tannin structure that beautifully matches the crystalline quality on […]

Home Hill Landslide Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00Very stylish and complex aromatics of summer red fruits, hedge fruits, fennel, mint, Turkish tobacco, fresh compost, tar, blood orange, dark chocolate, roses and Serano. The 2023 is the first vintage where all the fruit for the Landslide comes off estate vines, albeit young vines. Potential plus however. This is very serious and delicious. Deep […]

Enderle and Moll Pinot Noir 2020
$60.00Enderle and Moll’s ‘entry level’ Pinot Noir comes from 30 year old vines planted on sandstone and limestone, Baden’s two dominant soils.

Thomas Synergy Shiraz 2021
$25.00The selection of the wines going under this label is achieved by blending a large number of barrels that didn’t have the quality needed for Single Vineyard status.

Domaine A Lady A Sauvignon Blanc 2020
$75.00Australia’s greatest Sauvignon Blanc, irrespective of style. Hedonistic and opulent, presumably full malo and aged in predominantly new French oak. That being said, the nose is incredibly expressive with exotic fruits of pineapple, pawpaw, kiwifruit, white peach and Jersey butter and cinnamon notes. Rich, medium to full bodied, the fruit is so powerful and deep, […]

Jean-Paul and Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Cote de Lechet 2022
$150.00This is quite smoky in character with its nose of citrus confit, pear, apple and ocean breeze scents.

Domaine A Petit A Cabernets 2017
$55.00St Emillion inspired, but for me, reminiscent of the haunting, autumnal wines of Pessac Leognan. Beautifully complex aromas of blackcurrant, cranberry, mulberry, blackberry, violets, garrigue herbs, tobacco leaf, mint and cocoa. Pure ripe fruit, supple initially, before the sensual squeeze of chewy, tobacco laced tannins. Very complex interplay of savoury and fruit notes with squid […]

Kenny Wine Kabi Riesling 2023
$35.00It’s not easy making Kabinett (or ‘Kabi’ in this case) style Riesling in Australia, particularly in the Clare Valley, where you have to be able to ripen grapes at relatively low alcohols. Most producers end up having to pick too early, lending a sweet and sour note. The Kenny Kabi 2023 Riesling is the best […]

Kenny Wine Polish Hill River Riesling 2023
$35.00What I love about this wine is its generosity and juiciness. It’s not just another limey, palate stripping Riesling from the Clare. There’s weight, texture and power and the acidity is not the main feature. Citrus fruits, white flowers, salty and creamy. Curvaceous and precise with gin herbs, bath salts, tangy citrus, orchard fruits filling […]

Jean-Paul and Benoit Droin Chablis 1er Cru Montmains 2022
$150.00The 2022 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru offers scents of grapefruit and orange rind on the nose, less flamboyant that the Vaillons, yet showing impressive delineation already. The palate is well-balanced, with a tangy opening and hints of marmalade infusing the citrus fruit with an almost steely finish. This will need time in bottle. 91-93 points […]
