Rieslingfreak No 5 Clare Valley Off Dry Riesling 2024
$24.00Out of Stock
“I’m a sucker for a good off-dry riesling (here, it’s 13g/L RS), and this certainly ticks a lot of boxes for me. The palest of straw and green flashes in the glass with fruit tones of lime, green apple, white peach and crunchy nectarine. Hints of citrus blossom, riverstone, wildflowers, starfruit and apple sorbet. There’s […]

Lambert Crudo Shiraz 2024
$30.00Sourced 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
$30.00Lambert’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
$40.00The 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 […]

Crawford River Riesling 2024
$58.00A 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 […]

Rieslingfreak No 8 Schatzkammer Riesling 2024
$30.00“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 […]

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2024
$55.00An 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
$38.00From 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. […]

Stargazer Tupelo White Blend 2024
$38.00One 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 […]

Polperro Estate Pinot Gris 2024
$45.00When 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, […]

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
$45.00‘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
$45.00Alea 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 […]

Bannockburn Riesling 2024
$30.00“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 […]

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 […]

The energetic palate is light to medium bodied with the wine’s fine-grained tannins and bright acidity making for a delicious and refreshing mouthful. Good, nay, great […]

Top stuff.” 95 Points – Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion) […]

Vanguardist Rose 2024
$38.00“From the Rende vineyard, the heartbeat of the Vanguardist wines, in Blewitt Springs. Michael Corbett takes all his wines very seriously, and that’s no different for rosé, with his estimate predicating a decade’s cellar life. It’s certainly got the flavour depth, texture and a smartly pithy draw of grip to support the notion. An assertive […]

Mercer Vermentino 2024
$22.00I think we are going to see more and more Italian varietals in the Hunter Valley, and if you drink this, you can see why. Aromatic and floral, with the Hunter’s signature roundness and mid palate flesh. White peach, lime, fennel and savoury spice, with a sort of pithy, citrus texture. It’s pretty straight forward, […]

Tillie J Aligote 2024
$40.00Aligote has become trendy, presumably because in Burgundy at least, it’s hard to tell the difference with chardonnay and they are invariably cheaper. Ironically, I find it’s more varietal in Australia, being more linear than chardonnay and fine boned. Tillie J’s is remarkable, a shock really, it’s just so damn good and so damn cheap! […]

Bondar Junto GSM 2024
$30.00One of my favourite Bondar wines. We had a 2022 a year after release and it was gorgeous, better after a year in bottle. Vibrant from start to finish with pure black, red and blue fruits, dried flowers and mixed herbs. Curvy, full flavoured and downright easy to drink, with lithe tannins and gentle acidity. […]

To have with food, or to not is the question, either is the answer. Gardenia, lemon, lime, cream and almond […]

Bulman Grenache Rose 2024
$28.00Out of Stock
My absolute favourite grenache producer in Australia, demolishing all cliches and stereotypes of South Australian grenache and red wines in general. It’s hard to believe that he (Mark Bulman) used to make Turkey Flat rose, the wines are so different. Pale in colour, refreshing, crisp and dry. Red summer fruits, sweet and tangy, with a […]
