Decades Chardonnay 2023
$78.00Beauty is immediate. The pure and crystalline quality is captured in the gorgeous aromatics of grapefruit, fig, melon, spring jasmine and chocolate orange. Concentrated, but not big. Lithe, athletic and pure, but with a tempering suppleness; the tightness of youth and coiled power finessed, creamy and fleshy. Citrus and orchard fruits, mostly, the palate gripping […]

Craiglee Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$40.00Classic. Notes of blackcurrant, cherry, plum, oyster shell, mint, quality oak, violets and tobacco. Medium bodied and firm, like the shiraz, this is savoury, the tannins really adding flavour and structure, defining the wine. Old school claret of the left bank. Huge potential. Waters Wine Co Still very much in its infancy, this feels […]

Iggy Springton Eden Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00There’s no mistaking where this comes from. Super vibrant aromatics of violets, cassis, kirsch, chocolate, blueberry, raspberry and charcoal. Rich and full bodied. Very powerful indeed, yet with precision and a sort of tactile grace. Some subtle sweet meat and game notes, which will no doubt come through more as the wine ages. Still, the […]

Stonegarden Field Blend Grenache 2020
$65.00Richer, deeper and burlier than the straight Grenache. 85% of this blend is Grenache, with the difference made up of Mataro, Shiraz, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is from a warmer part of the vineyard, with heavier soils and the fruit is correspondingly darker. Rounder in shape, wilder, with more exotic notes of cocoa, smoke, […]

Sylvie Esmonin Bourgogne Aligote 2022
$90.00Very Limited. Sylvie says she drinks more of this wine than she sells. Slight spiciness on the nose, herbs too. Honeyed and with a gentle grip. Intense and vivid. – Importer’s Notes

Stanton & Killeen Vintage Fortified 2015
$45.00Every vintage of this wine is seemingly great, but the 2015 has placed the Stanton & Killeen fortifieds in a new dimension. It’s deep and concentrated to be sure, yet it possesses a freshness and energy I have not tasted before. Prunes, dark chocolate, black and red fruits, ginger, amaro, Brazil nuts, licorice and the […]

Iggy Lyndoch Barossa Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00Classic Barossa, classic. Blackcurrant, mint, chocolate, glace cherries, ferrous, blackberry, maple and sweet raspberry. The oak is a little more evident here, and the fruit is fleshy and succulent. Pure and deep, compact and precise, and I wish I had decanted this before drinking. Very fine, with Nutella and savoury spice-laden tannins that tighten and […]

Iggy Forreston Adelaide Hills Syrah 2021
$50.00A great vintage in the Adelaide Hills. Extended skin contact and 2 years of maturation in seasoned French oak has enhanced the power and vibrancy of the vintage, weaving the long, long tannins with the pure, generous, ripe fruit. Tangy red fruits of sour cherry, plum and redcurrant mix with blueberry, blackberry, cola and baking […]

Clos Mogador Com Tu Montsant 2021
$135.00There is a change in image in the 2021 Com Tu, a village red from La Figuera in Montsant, with a label that is similar to the one from the new rosé, a drawing of the village. They used a high percentage of full clusters, and it matured in an old 5,000-liter foudre for one […]

Iggy H&C Eden Valley Syrah 2021
$75.00From 2 vineyards in 2021, after to a “miscommunication” with another vigneron left Iggy stranded without even a barrel worth of fruit. A vintage that has yielded many great wines, and the H&C is the first wine he has made with 100% whole bunch. Igor used the time old method of tasting the stalks, before […]

Craiglee Shiraz 2019
$60.00Firm classic Craiglee, a style that hasn’t wavered for at least the past 20 years. Blackberry, mulberry, cherry, blackcurrant, baking spices, tobacco, cigar box and bay leaf. Firm and savoury, still very young at this stage – you can smell, feel and taste the tannins. A nod to the great reds of Valpolicella, sweet, savoury, […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots 2020
$265.00Les Bousselots is a mid slope vineyard, with clay rich soils. As you would expect the wines are full bodied, dark coloured and with deep soft tannins. Julien’s rendition is one of the blackest from any producer of this vineyard I can remember tasting. Spiced plum, hedge fruits, black cherry and cassis, flecked with sweet […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Nuits-St-Georges Aux Saints Juliens 2020
$175.00From a vineyard to the north of Nuits, close to Vosne-Romanee. This is a huge wine, dark in colour and dark in flavour. Despite the vineyards proximity to Vosne-Romanee this is very much a Nuits. Blackberry, blackcurrant, mulberry, blood plum, wood spice and flowers. Full bodied, immensely powerful, with a sort of granite like quality; […]

Decades Pinot Noir 2023
$78.00Is there more promise for Tasmanian chardonnay or pinot noir, or in a sense, are they equal? Considering the Decades chardonnay and pinot noir are off the same vineyard and the wines are as they are, I find i cannot apportion preference. Fragrant; it’s so beautifully alive with lavender and violets, clove, smoked paprika and […]

Domaine Tempier Bandol La Tourtine 2022
$190.00This wine is made from grapes grown on a terroir near the village of Le Castellet. The vineyard sits high up on the hillside, on average 170m above sea level, and has relatively homogenous soil comprised of chalk and clay on top of 100 million year old rock. The Mourvedre vines flourish on this terroir producing […]

Domaine Tempier Bandol La Migoua 2022
$190.00The La Migoua area is renowned for its geological features and is often studied for its complex sediment patterns. The outcrops of rocks found in this area date back much further than those in the rest of the Bandol winegrowing area. The effect of one tectonic plate sinking beneath another (subduction) can actually be observed […]

Farr Rising Gamay 2024
$60.00‘Big, dark, and bright colour in the glass. The nose is intense dark spice, punchy with a hit of salinity, savoury herbs and graphite. Behind this assertive forward barrage, or perhaps layered between it, is a perfumed and pretty musk and confectionary element that gives away it’s carbonic production method. The second sniff is more […]

Clos Mogador Nelin Priorat Blanco 2021
$180.00Marking the 20th anniversary of this white wine, the 2021 Nelin was produced with Garnacha Blanca, Macabeo, Xarel.lo and Picapoll white and Cariñena Blanca—in the future, there will be more and more of the last two varieties in the blend, a big change from the beginning.

Clos Mogador Rosat 2021

It has a bright salmon color and a very different and characterful nose, savory, reminiscent of chicken broth (salty!), herbal […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022
$280.00‘Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous and more concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin 2022
$240.00“A more deeply pitched nose reflects aromas of humus-inflected poached plum, cassis and violet that display hints of earth and leather. The supple and succulent yet well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a lovely mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere finish where a touch of wood arises. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and worth […]

Sylvie Esmonin Bourgogne Rouge 2022
$120.00‘An exuberantly fresh nose features notes of plum, dark pinot fruit and plenty of earth character. The rich, delicious and voluminous middleweight flavors possess excellent depth and persistence for a wine at this level. To be sure, this is somewhat rustic but overall it is really very good.’ Drink 2026+. 87-89 points – Burghound, Jan […]

Iggy Maywald 1926 Barossa Valley Syrah 2021

Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Muscat NV (500ml)
$25.00Absolutely gorgeous and one of the most complex and singular Muscats coming out of the Rutherglen. Floral, ginger, nougat and sweetened condensed milk. Structured and vibrant, with baking spices, becoming more savoury and firming towards the close. Rippling with tingle and begging for food. Waters Wine Co Rich sticky raisin characteristics, ginger, orange peel […]

Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Topaque NV (500ml)
$25.00Such a different expression. Topaque’s usually play second fiddle to Muscat, but that should definitely not be the case. Very complex and layered with a lovely tension between the sweet and savoury elements. Florals, honeycomb, salted caramel, grilled nuts, sultanas and savoury spice. It’s somehow lighter than the Muscat, yet shows more vivacity and stuffing. […]

Stanton & Killeen Vintage Fortified 2007
$85.00Australia’s most convincing Vintage Port style wine. Utterly consistent and repeated tastings of back vintages have left me in no doubt. Will they go 50, or a hundred, or more? The last vintage from Chris Killeen and one that will live on for at least another couple of decades. Rich, deep and concentrated, showing great […]

By Farr Shiraz 2022
$100.00The By Farr Shiraz is amongst Australia’s best and most singular; a great site expression. Rich, concentrated, seamless and controlled. Extremely complex and with a flavour profile all it’s own. Smoked paprika, red capsicum, curry leaf and fenugreek counter the compote of red, black and hedge fruits. There is great tension between the sweet and […]

Clos Mogador Priorat Tinto 2020
$220.00The 2020 Clos Mogador comes from a very challenging vintage in Priorat, a year with lots of rain and some fungus problems that are very unusual in the zone, which is usually very healthy. They bought a further four hectares so they could keep the volume despite the difficulties with mildew. The wine is more […]
