$45.00100% Cabernet Sauvignon from 1960s planted vines situated in Vine Vale, Barossa Valley. Currently tended to by Wayne Ahrens and Suzie Hilder.

Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Shiraz 2023
$74.00If I had to a serve a South Australian shiraz to a European, unversed in Australian wine, then this would be it. Fragrant, with a compote of brambly, red and blueberry fruit, bitter chocolate, Middle Eastern spices, fresh compost, licorice subtle oak. Lucious and sexy, with an intensity and lavishness of fruit that could only […]

Trutta Sangiovese 2023
$34.00Whole berry fermentation and a paradoxical three weeks on skins has led to a classic sangiovese and one of Australia’s best. Super bright red fruits, florals, bay leaf, and baking spices with firm, grippy, tobacco laden tannins.

Julian Haart Goldtropfchen Riesling Spatlese 2023
$165.00Here is all the baroque beauty of this great Goldtröpfchen site. The cornucopia of yellow fruit, berries, flowers and floral honey would demand several paragraphs for an adequate description. Incredible finesse and subtlety on the medium-bodied palate, the wine hopping, skipping and jumping for joy. Then comes the incredible stony power in the compact and […]

Mercer Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2023
$28.00The best place in Australia, for rich, round, easy going chardonnay is the Hunter Valley. These wines can age too, a couple of bottles of 2003, from a good vineyard will testify. At 21 years of age, both bottles were delicious and had at least another terrific five years. The 23 Mercer is a knockout, […]

Christian Moreau AC Chablis 2023
$75.00There is ample Chablis typicity to the nicely fresh aromas of citrus, pear and sea breeze. The sense of freshness is enhanced by the vibrant and detailed middle weight flavors that culminate in a lightly stony and appealingly textured finish. This should drink well young but repay mid-term keeping. (88-90)/2027+ Burghound.com , October 2024 […]

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Chardonnay 2023
$75.00A recent addition to the Moss Wood portfolio showing the great strides that have been taken in managing the Ribbon Vale vineyard. This is probably the best release yet.

Bannockburn Serre Pinot Noir 2023 (1.5L)
$230.00Planted in ’84 and extended in ’86; certified organic in ’21. 100% destemmed and matured in French hogsheads (33% new). A light–medium, very bright cherry red. Just a little reduction when first poured. This soon gives way to a cornucopia of scents including alpine strawberries, freshly poached rhubarb, pressed rose petals and incense. The palate […]

Toro Albala Don PX 2023 (375ml)
$65.00Deep amber with coppery highlights. Raisins and figs lead, layered with honey and dried date, lifted by a touch of muscatel and the racy acidity that keeps this from ever turning cloying. Unctuous and concentrated, with a savoury, vegetal edge on the finish—the house signature of balance over sheer weight. 100% hand-harvested Pedro Ximénez, sun-dried […]

Manuele Priolo Roero Anime Nere Vigneto Eroico 2023
$195.00This is Nebbiolo, but not as you know it. From Manuele Priolo’s extraordinary, near-vertical Anime Nere vineyard in Monteu Roero, this is a wine of remarkable delicacy, perfume and energy. Pale and luminous in colour, it opens with an intoxicating perfume of wild strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry and rose petals, with hints of blood orange […]

J&S Fielke Blanc de Blancs 2023
$48.00This comes from the Deanery vineyard in Balhannah, grown organically. Wild ferment, to barrel, unsulphured until just before bottling. The wine remained on lees for 18 months. The ’23 season’s lighter frame gets savouriness built in, and seamlessly. Gingery notes, stewed apple strudel with cinnamon, nashi pear, salted almond and light honeycomb notes. Assured, fine […]

Alex Moreau Chassagne Montrachet 2023
$270.00“A completely different aromatic profile presents notes of petrol, rosemary oil and white-fleshed fruit scents. There is notably better density and volume to the attractively textured medium weight flavors that display fine length on the balanced finale. This does need to develop better depth but that should reasonably occur if given a chance. Worth checking […]

Laurent Tribut Chablis Beauroy 1er Cru 2023
$200.00The pale lemon-yellow hue belies the potent aromas of white peach, green apple, oyster shell and white blossoms packed into this delicious wine. The texture is creamy and deep, yet the vibrant acidity draws it to an impressively long finish. The grapes are from 0.65ha spread over several parcels on different soil types, bringing diversity […]

Laurent Tribut Chablis 2023
$130.00This vibrant and dynamic village Chablis explodes with aromas of lime peel, passion fruit and greengage plums adorned with acacia blossoms and chalky minerality. The feel is racy and bright, but there is substance here as well. This wine will be crisp and approachable on release but will profit from mid-term ageing in the cellar. […]

Domaine de Villaine Bouzeron Aligote 2023
$125.00The 2023 Bouzeron has a vivacious nose that boldly declares, “I am Aligoté!” The palate is well balanced with a keen line of acidity and beautiful weight in the mouth, featuring hints of lemon curd, white peach and Anjou pear toward the poised finish. You’ll find few Bouzerons better than this. 91 points – Neal […]

Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Syrah 2023
$35.00A cool year and philosophical evolution have produced a relatively elegant syrah suite in ’23. And this is a fine entry point, sketching out the style. A lovely perfume here, with cool boysenberry, violet, iodine, black leaf tea, nori, lilac and blackberry pastille. It’s compact on the palate, clocking in at modest alcohol and with […]

Tyrrell’s Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet 2023
$90.00The outlier in the range, considering that it’s the only blend and a multiregional blend at that, with 35% of the fruit coming from McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s also a genuine blend of styles, not trying to be a Hunter Valley wine, but an emblematic Australian wine, and therein lies its value. It’s not […]

Savage Follow the Line Cinsault 2023
$65.00Follow The Line is a deceptively forward Cinsault that’s good to drink on release, but ages remarkably well too. Alluringly ethereal and perfumed, it has what Duncan Savage terms “the purity of 2023”, layers of goji berry, plum and pomegranate and more tannic presence than you appreciate at first. Very refined. 96 points – Tim […]

Lafarge-Vial Fleurie ‘Clos Vernay’ 2023
$125.00This delicious Fleurie was astounding when tasted from barrel, and has opened up more since bottling, with an expressive currant and raspberry fruit marked by exquisite finesse backed up by depth, density and admirable length on the palate. The vineyard is surrounded by walls and by forest on three sides; the 400m-450m elevation brings freshness, […]
