Lelie van Saron Syrah 2020
$60.00A remarkable wine, particularly when you consider the vineyard is barely 20 years old. You don’t need old vines to make great wines, but you do need a great site, and the Bos vineyard in the cool climes of Upper Hemel-en-Aarde is incredible. The soils are of weathered granite, no doubt a defining feature for […]

Iggy Lyndoch Barossa Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00Deep red, almost crimson in colour. Dense aromas of plum, black pepper, black currant, nutmeg, and a touch of smokiness.

Pleasant mouthfeel with a long, persistent finish. Drinking well now but will […]

$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, […]

Yellow and […]

Thibaud Boudignon Savennières Clos de la Hutte 2020
$275.00”The 2020 Clos de la Hutte is a wine that makes your shoulders drop such is its tranquility and sense of comfort in your mouth. It blooms in the mouth and does so without any sense of heaviness. The finish, scented with flowers and nectarines, is long, fragrant and textural. I hate using the word […]

Nicole Lamarche Vosne-Romanee 2020
$210.00“Mid pink-purple in colour, notably reduced nose. Too much to blow off. Very pretty elegant pure red fruit on the palate, with good concentration, plenty of oak and the slight firmness from the reduction. That apart, this is excellent, and very long. Scored on the basis that the reduction will depart.” 89-92 points, Jasper Morris MW, […]

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020
