Voliero Rosso di Montalcino 2019
$50.00The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino lifts up with a pretty herbal and floral display, gaining richness with time in the glass, as wild strawberries and brown spice come forward with hints of white pepper and smoke. It boasts silky textures over a medium-bodied frame, with masses of ripe red and black berries contrasted by salty […]

Laughing Jack Greenock Shiraz 2019
$50.00Terrific rendition of Greenock Creek’s rich and opulent flavours. Full bodied, with black fruits, some sweet raspberry, sumac, cinnamon and wood spice. Round in shape, it’s not heavy and is surprisingly light on it’s feet. Despite all the apparent presence and flavour, there’s a youthful brightness, conveyed by the fine, soft tannins. Lovely focus and […]

Rippon Lolo’s Mature Vine Riesling 2019
$75.00I have never tasted a riesling to match the intensity of Saar, until this encounter with Rippon’s 2019 Lola. We were lucky enough to have the better part of a bottle, which we drank over three days. Never for a moment did the wine loose a skerrick of it’s power or titanic fruit. Aromatic, with […]

Tokaji Oremus Mandolas Dry Furmint 2019
$55.00Aged in small traditional 136 litre barrels and picked golden ripe, I cannot think of any wine that is full bodied yet so abundantly fresh, tangy and full zingy drive. Citrus and stone fruits, cherry, plum, marzipan, beeswax, cinnamon, creamy apple and salty minerality. Very broad, yet precise flavours and a terrific match for roast […]

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Aleste 2017
$295.00Considering some of the casks spent up to 2 months on skins, this is remarkably pure with extremely fine tannins. Compelling aromas of cassis, tar, cherry cola, leather polish, nutmeg, liquorice, cigar box, roses, cherry and violet. Tighter than the Le Vigne, and I prefer this in 2017, although usually Le Vigne gets my nod. […]

Rings Pinot Noir (Spatburgunder) Vom Kalkfels 2019
$70.00Simply red. Raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb, plum, cherry and vanilla pod aromas. Tense, linear and bright. Mouth watering texture and shape that is reminiscent of Burgundy from days of old; deep, focused, tight and expansive. Some English dampness, that reminds me of walking through cool, wet woods. Gamey almond meal and mushroom notes. Still a little […]

Rall Grenache Blanc 2019
$50.00The nose shows a little reduction before lemon, naartjie (mandarin), stone fruit, cut apple and a little nuttiness. Rich and broad with seemingly quite moderate acidity, round without being too leesy, this is a more generous vintage than usual. 92 Points – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za The grapes for this wine come from dry-farmed bush vines […]

Te Mata Awatea Cabernet Merlot 2019
$50.00Very bright, deep, youthful purple/red colour. The aromas are outstandingly deep and bright and youthfully fresh; violets, red and blue fruits rocketing out of the glass, oak barely visible in the background. The wine is soft-textured and medium to full-bodied, elegant and pure, seamless and long. An utterly delicious cabernet blend. 95 Points – Huon […]

De Bortoli Noble One 2019 (375ml)
$35.00The benchmark Australian dessert wine and 2019 is a standout vintage. Made with parcels of fruit from selected vineyards, each batch of grapes is harvested, fermented and matured separately to capture the individual characteristics each plot produces. The vineyards include the Chauncy block of Semillon, which was the last vineyard of Semillon for Botrytis that […]

Domaine Barmes-Buecher Riesling Clos Sand Lieux Dits 2019
$85.00Essentially a monopole of the estate, with new high density plantings. A high, cool vineyard of granite, very steep and surrounded by woodland. The sparse and rocky soils a pivot point towards finesse, and although the wines are rich, full bodied and shapely, they are slightly more discreet, elegant, linear and fine. Brioche notes, […]

Michel Lafarge Aligote ‘Raisins Dores’ 2019

The 2019 Bourgogne Aligoté Raisins Dorés, which was taken from barrel and no concrete tanks as usual because of the small quantity, […]

Henri Germain Meursault Limozin 2019
$215.00“The 2019 Meursault Le Limozin is superb, mingling aromas of pear, yellow orchard fruit, almond paste and pastry cream with hints of white flowers and mint. Medium to full-bodied, textural and precise, it combines impressive mid-palate volume with terrific cut. This will be well worth seeking out.” 91-93 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate Outstanding. […]

Eva Fricke Lorcher Riesling Trocken 2020
$80.00Perhaps the most classic and aristocratic wine in this line up and a defining wine of the vintage. Intense, powerful, with great clarity of flavour, focus and precision. Citrus, white peach, a touch of peach skin for texture, minerals, tarragon and salt. Tingly and throbbing, huge energy and breadth and the overwhelming impression of hidden […]

Thierry Glantenay Pommard 1er Cru Saussilles 2019
$225.00The latest rendition of a cuvée that goes from strength to strength, Glantenay‘s old vine 2019 Pommard 1er Cru Les Saussilles offers up notions of Griotte cherries, cassis, potpourri and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, racy and concentrated, with superb depth at the core and a saline finish, it’s well worth seeking out. As I’ve written […]

Thierry Glantenay Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 2019
$210.00The 2019 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots was the last wine in the cellar to finish its malolactic fermentation, and its bouquet of smoky blackberries and cherries was still comparatively unformed. Medium to full-bodied, layered and lively, its bright acids and powdery tannins mark it out as a particular success this year. 91-93+ Points – William Kelley, […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Kabinett 2019 (1.5L)
$145.00Very clear and flinty on the still reductive yet very precise and spring-like nose. Juicy and light on the palate, this is an intense, fruity, salty- piquant and stimulating Kabinett with the gorgeous fruit of the Juffer. Drink 2025-2045. 89-92 points – Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate, August 2020

Daniel Bouland Morgon Bellevue Cailloux 2019 (1.5L)
$105.00Bouland’s Morgon Bellevue Cailloux 2019 is made exactly the same way as all of the Bouland wines: natural, whole-bunch ferment, concrete tank/foudre élevage and no fining. This is fascinating to compare directly with the Sable (sand) cuvée. Here, there’s more plum and blackcurrant depths, and also a smoky, hot-rocks kind of mineral profile. Long and strong, […]

Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette 2019 (1.5L)
$105.00Now we enter the realm of Bouland’s spectacular, terroir-specific Morgons. This particular wine is the first of two cuvées that focus on Corcelette’s sandy, granitic soils. This soil generates wines of great perfume and finer, rounder tannins than those of Morgon’s more schist-influenced terroirs. Like all Bouland’s wines this was whole-bunch fermented with indigenous yeasts […]

Olifantsberg Soul of the Mountain The Matriach 2019
$50.00Roussanne being the predominant component in this blend shows the ultimate complexity we can achieve with this variety on the Olifantsberg Mountain. However, Grenache blanc and Chenin blanc complements Roussanne extremely well to create the perfect blend. 72% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc and 8% Chenin Blanc. The complexity of this wine lies in the collection […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay La Charme Aux Pretres 2019
$235.00Outstanding. Top Value. This is also decidedly restrained and offers only glimpses of the spiced citrus peel and green apple aromas. The rich, full-bodied and intense medium weight flavors are at once caressing yet powerful on the impressively long and saline-suffused finish. This too is very good for its level. 88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound […]

Rings Pinot Noir (Spatburgunder) Leistadter Kalkofen 2019
$110.00Elemental. Shocking in its attack of texture, flavour and raw power. A cool, high altitude site, with a little more rounding despite the directness of structure. Medium bodied, with red fruits, mingled with blackberry, mulberry, violet, Asian spices and geranium. Tertiary hints of game, mushroom and compost woven into an otherwise tense and tightly wound […]

Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Melange Trocken 2020
$100.00Always one of our favourite dry Rieslings and is particularly wonderful in 2020. Decadent and expansive, the most controlled Melange we have tasted, a more precise wine to the luxurious opulence of the 2019. Dense and concentrated, with ripe citrus, stone, orchard, plum and cherry fruits. Less mineral than other wines in the Eva Fricke […]
