Torres Celeste Ribera del Duero Crianza 2018
$40.00Fascinating deep, dark cherry red colour. Intense, concentrated aromas of blackberry and blueberry fruit, revealing notes of ripe figs and an exquisite smoky, graphite streak. Velvety and flavourful on the palate with fine-grained tannins. Oak ageing endows the wine with fine notes of bitter cocoa and coffee. At 895 metres altitude you can almost touch […]

Akutain Reserva Rioja 2017
$80.00One of the finest traditional Reservas on the market and incredible value. If this was Bordeaux or Burgundy, the price would be much higher. Blackcurrant, plum, cranberry, raspberry, aniseed, tobacco, vanilla, violets and cola. Medium to full bodied, incredibly fresh and vibrant, certainly firm and serious. Flecks of savoury spice, dried fruit and firm mineral […]

Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva 2017
$90.00Sangiovese as Burgundy. Lifted aromatics of red and dark cherry, dried cranberry, raspberry, lavender, geranium and sage. Expansive palate, with an almost effortless poise. Medium bodied, vivid, the tannins absorbed by the longer wood ageing, making them longer, sculptural and melting. Wonderful interplay of fresh, crunchy red fruits, earth, herbs, spice and flowers. Very long […]

Quinta Do Noval LBV Unfiltered 2017
$75.00One of the best LBV’s tasted in a long time. I often find them losing a little bit of freshness and bitter notes too apparent. Not a bit of it here, however! Oozing aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, prunes, dates, violets and mint. Luscious and full bodied, some clove and cinnamon, the spice […]

Seehof Morstein Riesling Beerenauslese 2017 (375ml)
$90.00It is difficult to describe, in decent terms, my salivation over a wine that is not only fabulous, but in relative terms, a ridiculous bargain. Extremely complex, yellow fruits, fresh citrus and preserved citrus. Lucid and creamy, the fruit pillowed if you like by soft, long acidity. Considering this is from Morstein, this is so […]

Ossa Methode Traditionnelle Tasmania 2017
$90.00Out of Stock

Lemons, fresh, preserved, zest and salted, mandarin, orange blossom, jasmine, grapefruit, thyme and pastry notes. Tangy and pithy, the preserved citrus element comes […]

Courabyra 805 Vintage Rose 2017
$60.00Out of Stock
Arguably one of my favourite/top sparkling wine producers in Australia, which pretty much means anywhere in the world. Beautiful, floral and pretty, sweet berry fruited perfume. Lightly creamy texture, fine, bright fizz in the mix, frisky, green apple acidity, more of the sweet-ish red berry characteristics, a good squirt of cranberry juice and even some […]

Gembrook Hill Blanc de Blancs 2017
$65.00Made from chardonnay planted in 1983. Traditional method, six years on tirage, 6.15g/L dosage. Bright gold with green tinges. Lively, complex and understated from the first sip. Aromas of poached pear, white peach, orange zest, lightly toasted nuts and a little candied ginger. As always with this cuvée, there’s rapier-like acidity, but this is more […]

La Torre Brunello di Montalcino 2017
$130.00Black cherry, red cherry, plum, lavender, cassis, dried herbs, lavender wood, tobacco and leather. Sensuous and expressive, full bodied, but with a lightness of touch that makes you forget about its tannic presence. The carry is very long and here the tannins kick in – robust and burley, carried by fine acidity. Earthy elements of […]

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2017
$55.00Tasted alongside the 2018, it’s striking to taste the sites DNA, despite the different seasons and subtly different approach to winemaking. A coolish vintage, wet and humid, so extremely difficult for wine growers, but excellent conditions for Nebbiolo. Very classically styled and reminiscent of Barolo/Barbaresco 20 years ago; translucent and with a russet tinge. Lovely, […]

Fabulous, but be patient. WWC June 2019 Very expressive and open, offering a rich yet zingy framework. This features apricot, lime and candied orange flavors, […]
