$275.00From a south-west facing 0.65 ha vineyard planted in 1994 located just above La Chateniere. This site catches a little more wind. ‘Very pale in colour, and undemonstrative on the nose.

Ministry of Clouds Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2022
$40.00Very much in the contemporary mould of Australian chardonnay, the emphasis on freshness and intensity. Citrus, orchard fruits and white flowers, framed by expensive French oak. Coiled and compact with fleshy fruits, white flowers and savoury spice. Precise, linear and very intense. This would benefit from a few years in the cellar. Waters Wine Co […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese 2021
$88.00A great year for connoisseurs who favour cooler racier Ausleses. Indeed the Juffer and Juffer Sonnenuhr are better suited to savoury dishes over desserts. Bright and clear, with fresh mint, plum, lime, lemon zest and tropical notes. Linear and precise, with great purity and drive. Sleek, with a hint of tempering silk. Needs time. Give […]

Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc 2021
$95.00The Anjou Blanc is from old densely planted vines, rooted in shallow sand and schist soils. Aged for up to 18 months in 500L and Stockinger “cigar” barrels, 30% of which are new.

Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir 2023
$69.00Intensely floral, as ever, with English summer red fruits, baking spices and darker hedge fruits. Rich, dense, authoritative, suave and sensual. Such a serious wine, in an effortless sense with a tarry, bitumen element, overlayed with roses. Very Nebbiolo like in some sense, yet the seduction of pinot noir is eternal. The elements dominating, a […]

Thibaud Boudignon Rose de Loire 2022
$50.00‘The 2022 Rosé de Loire displays a smokey mix of crushed apples and wet stones. Sour citrus and tart orchard fruits nicely contrast a pleasant inner sweetness. A mineral staining lingers while the 2022 finishes fresh and with a crunchy sensation.’ Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023. Substantially Cabernet Franc (80%), with some Grolleau (20%), […]

Fabien Coche Meursault ‘Les Chevalieres’ 2021
$250.00The lieux-dit of Les Chevalieres is situated above the village of Meursault. Above is the lieux-dit of Les Luchets, which produces a higher toned, more tensile wine. I can’t help but think that this is ideally situated, in a sense, mid-slope, the perfect aspect in Burgundy. Impossibly complex, with notes of white flowers, lemon, lime, […]

Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle 2020

Like Margaux, the soils and environs are similar, as is the varietal mix, in this case 80% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. The wine saw no oak whatsoever, and it’s rich, with delectable freshness and […]

Chateau du Cedre Heritage 2020
$30.00Such gorgeous aromatics of blackcurrant, lavender, violets, plum and cherry liqueur. Rich, but in no way heavy, fleshy and lithe.

Bubb and Pooley WKR Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Dr Burklin-Wolf Bohlig PC Riesling 2021
$105.00Fuller bodied than the Altenberg and the shape is rounder, the palate ample. Mandarin blossom, yellow peach, grapefruit, lime preserve, spring jasmine and lavender.

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz 2023
$85.00Don’t be misled by cliches about the size and style of the Jasper Hill wines. Big though they are, they are fresh and balanced, with lovely natural acidity and waves of fruit and tannin. “Controlled full on”. Ferrous and autumnal notes reside with dark cherry, chocolate, lavender, potpourri, leather, polished wood and a compote of […]

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Nebbiolo 2023
