2024

Pale yellow in colour with a green hue, with aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, grilled cashew and toast – this is classic Yarra Valley Chardonnay! The palate shows delicious stone fruit flavours with texture and fullness. It’s all underpinned with a laser sharp pink grapefruit acid line, delivering an overall delicate, long and flavoursome […]

By Farr Chardonnay 2024

$105.00

A great vintage for By Farr Chardonnay, although every vintage seems pretty great! The lusciousness and richness is dialled up, without any loss of freshness. Creamy with cashew, yellow peach, spring jasmine, wood spice and nougat beautifully interwoven. A wine for flavour fetishists, utterly palate coating. Textured, with dry extract – the mid palate, bursting […]

Rieslingfreak No 2 Polish Hill Riesling 2024

$29.00

“Polish River-sourced fruit from two picks spaced 10 days apart. Water-white with a flash of green and fruit aromas of freshly squeezed lime juice, makrut lime and lemongrass. Hints of citrus blossom, crushed stone, celery salt, Christmas lily, green-apple sorbet and liminal notes of clover and honeysuckle. Such a sleek, tightly bound package, with a […]

Dappled ‘Appellation’ Pinot Noir 2024

Pale Ruby red colour in the glass with scents of raspberries, cranberry, earth and wood smoke. There’s a gentle whole bunch element coming into play – more like a herb garden than a vegetal character. The palate is delicate and plush with cherry cola and beetroot flavours, and the tannins are very fine. The wine […]

Lambert Crudo Shiraz 2024

Sourced from 22-year-old vines on the lower end of the east-north-east slope, the Crudo bottling channels all the vivid, savoury Rhône-like appeal Luke searches for while delivering plenty of delicious, drink-me-now appeal. This year, just 10% bunches were included in the ferment to avoid overcrowding the spicy blueberry flavours and fine, granite-derived tannins, and the […]

Lambert Crudo Chardonnay 2024

Lambert’s stimulating Crudo Chardonnay hails from the east/northeast-facing slope on the Denton vineyard’s cone-shaped site. The vines are now 22 years old, sitting on expressive soils of granitic sand over heavy granite boulders. The fruit was pressed as bunches and vinified entirely in tank. The wine went through full malolactic conversion and was bottled without […]

Meadowbank Riesling 2024

$40.00

The 2023 Meadowbank was, and is, one of the best Rieslings ever to come out of Tasmania, so it was a pretty tough act to follow. Yet the 2024 is wonderful; prettier, more floral, with a greater degree of elegance to the force and stature of the 2023. Spring jasmine, citrus blossom, lemon and lime […]

Rieslingfreak No 8 Schatzkammer Riesling 2024

“An unctuous Polish Hill River-born riesling from the Jaeschke family vineyard that sports 32 g/L of RS in an Aussie Kabinett style. Super pale with a green flash and pure and expressive fruit tones of lime, grapefruit, custard apple, feijoa and pomelo with underlying hints of orange blossom, frangipani, riverstone and some vaguely earthy mycelial […]

Crawford River Riesling 2024

$58.00

A very bright green gold. Smells like the essence of perfectly ripened lemon and lime, jasmine and frangipani together with a little apple blossom. Gently textured, this flows mellifluously across the palate, finishing saline, chalky and long. Just a touch richer than the ’23 and a beautiful wine to drink now and over the next […]

Polperro Estate Pinot Gris 2024

When most of us think of the Mornington Peninsula, we think of pinot noir and chardonnay. Pinot Gris/grigio should be added to the list, the best in Australia comes from here. Think Quealy, think Polperro. I wouldn’t normally “love” a pinot gris from anywhere, but this is stunning. Pear, smoke, mushroom, kiwi fruit, white peach, […]

Stargazer Tupelo White Blend 2024

$38.00

One of our favourite white wines of 2024, of any style, from anywhere. A blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Gewurztraminer. A nod to the blends of Alsace, a showcase of region, rather than of varietal. The Tupelo is to a degree an orange wine, and in that idiom it is the best […]

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2024

$55.00

An attractive and approachable, understated expression emerges from this ’24 release of Springvale. Lemon-lime, some orange peel, faint minty notes, green apple juice, with some lemon verbena and tutti-frutti floral notes expressed through scents and flavours alike. Texture is somewhat waxy, the finish cool and firm, bright and zesty. Very enjoyable right now, a little […]

Farr Rising Saignee Rose 2024

$44.00

‘This wine has been gone for too long. I’ve missed it. It has a pinkie onion skin vibe in the glass, and the nose is of ripe fruits, and a complex oak derived aroma, but not simply woody, maybe more like almonds or more specifically a marzipan character. On second smell, the nose is of […]

Crawford River Strata Riesling 2024

$38.00

From a block planted in ’00/’01 on loam-dominant soils. A very bright green gold. Aromatic with classic citrus fruits together with some white peach, ripe pear, orange blossom and jasmine. Mouth-wateringly juicy and delicious with an underlying, fine vein of acidity. It’s super now and will continue to be so for quite some time. Yum. […]

Mulline Pinot Gris 2024

“100% pinot gris from Modewarre on the Surf Coast in Geelong. A bright salmon copper. The nose features an attractive amalgam of cranberries, freshly cut pear, Mediterranean herbs and a little honeydew melon. Just as good on the mouth-filling, savoury, pithy and long palate. Top stuff.” 95 Points – Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion) […]

Farr Rising Chardonnay 2024

$60.00

‘It’s a suggestion of a golden flash in the glass. That first interaction makes it pleasing and generous. The nose is faint yellow apple, something peppery, white chocolate, celery leaf, dried mango and baking spice. That sounds like an overreaction, but it’s what I got. Obviously, these are flashes, like a flickering light that begins […]

Bubb and Pooley Riesling 2024

‘Back to more “normal” vintage conditions with warm days and rapid ripening. Sourced from two vineyards in the Coal River Valley. Hand harvested, whole bunch pressed, fermented with yeast to dryness minimal time on yeast lees. Fermented in stainless steel. A very classic take on riesling from the Valley in a warmer year. High acidity […]

Grosset Alea Riesling 2024

Alea holds some additional sweetness as its canon. There’s an appealing and ultra-high drinkability here. Charm in spades. Floral scents of frangipani and lemon blossom with candied ginger, lime juice, just-ripe pineapple and tonic water. Similar to taste with a slipperiness to texture that feels well metered by the building crispness of the finish. More […]

Mulline Chardonnay 2024

$33.00

“A blend of fruit from the Moorabool Valley, Barrabool Hills and Bellarine Peninsulas in Geelong. The boys at Mulline have nailed this new and well-priced addition to the range. Gently saline, with aromas of perfectly ripened white peaches. The palate is simultaneously fleshy, structured and long. A wine to buy by the case and enjoy […]

“Made mainly from 0.4ha of vines planted in 1976. A pure and quite lovely nose featuring scents of Meyer lemon, makrut lime leaves and floral notes. The palate is linear, chalky and long with the fruit and acidity in perfect harmony. I’m thinking san choy bow would be a great match. I’m guessing it’ll age […]

Patrick Sullivan Bull Swamp Chardonnay 2024

Mouth-watering aftertaste. Utterly delicious chardonnay.” 96 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review “While there’s plenty of texture and opulence […]
