Fighting Gully Road Rose 2024
$30.00Mark Walpole has an international reputation as one of Australia’s great viticulturists, particularly with Italian varieties, but the quality of Fighting Gully Road is as much a testament to his winemaking as his vineyards. The 2024 Rosé shouldn’t be this exciting, but it is. Serious, textured and utterly delicious, with creamy red fruits, apricot, savoury […]

Gentle Folk Chardonnay 2024
$45.00Often seen as the pinnacle of white grapes, the Hills is a very good place to grow and make Chardonnay, that is for sure! The 2024 blend benefits from the addition of our new estate vineyard in Basket Range. Its beautifully refined and complex Adelaide Hills Chardonnay that balances acidity, oak and powerful fruit just […]

A real beauty of a chardonnay that combines cool-climate poise and a deep-set complexity. Aromas set the scene in white flowers, flinty grapefruit and citrus, stone fruits, almond meal and spice.

Sadie Family Swartland Skerpioen 2024
$205.00“Skerpioen comes from one of the Swartland’s most unusual and beautiful sites, a 90-year-old vineyard on a combination of beach sand and bright-white limestone. Marrying equal parts Palomino and Chenin Blanc, the 2024 is slightly broader than usual, but retains its defining sea breeze freshness. Jasmine and wet stone lead you into a sappy, pure, […]

Holyman Chardonnay 2024
$60.00Only a tiny amount of this wine is made each year, and very little ever leaves Tasmania. It’s a pure, confident expression of site – built to reward patience in the cellar. Aromatically, it opens with white peach, and sweet citrus notes. The palate is taut and zingy, carrying through long on the finish. Oak […]

Frederick Stevenson Montepulciano 2024
$35.00Utterly captivating, with all the heightened sensuality of Montepulciano. Layers of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant and mulberry unfold into notes of licorice, dried herbs and mint. Curved and supple, with fine, bow-like tannins giving shape and line. Plush yet controlled, the focused acidity drives the wine long through the finish. Abundant, succulent, and seriously compelling. Bright […]

Gentle Folk Pinot Noir 2024
$45.00“While not straying from its usual form, this release is slightly more savoury and earthy – an honest blend of fruit from all the estate vineyards, plus a little addition from Uraidla. Bramble and moss, orange rind and dried fig – this is fruit broken open to the air of a cold autumnal dusk. It’s […]

Savage Not Tonight Josephine 2024 (375ml)
$95.00Chenin Blanc from a young, trellised vineyard in Piekenierskloof. Grapes sundried for two to three weeks. Extraordinary aromatics of dried peach and apricot, pineapple, straw, potpourri, fynbos and a hint of honey. The palate is super-concentrated and slightly greasy in texture but not overly unctuous, thanks to bracing acidity. Very expressive and engaging. Alc: 8.3%. […]

Patrick Sullivan Woori Yallock Chardonnay 2024
$75.00“Fruit off Lusatia Park vineyard, thank you very much. As is the Patrick Sullivan way, all the single-site chardonnays are made the same – whole-bunch pressed to tank, fermented in French oak barriques (30% new) aged 11 months, plus mlf with strategic lees stirring (not much). This is the most aromatic of the four wines […]

Tillie J Langhorne Creek Grenache 2024
$35.00Grenache has to be one of the most diverse grapes planted in Australia, reflected by the plethora of styles being crafted. Tillie J’s is delightful. Described to us as a Beaujolais style, I thought it somewhere between a Brouilly and Southern Rhone red. Compote of black, bramble and red fruits, with cut flowers, licorice, five […]

Crystallum Mabalel Pinot Noir 2024
$85.00Peter-Allan Finlayson avoids using any whole clusters on Mabalel, as the Elandskloof stems tend to be greener and less lignified. Very much a cool climate style, it has impressive poise, focus and elegance, sappy redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, perfumed 20% new wood, appealing zip and minerality and the structure to evolve gracefully in bottle. […]

Bondar Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2024
$40.00Sourced from a single vineyard in Echunga in the Adelaide Hills, Bondar’s 2024 Chardonnay is hand-picked and gently pressed directly to barrel, without the addition of sulphur. Fermentation occurs naturally in French oak (around 25% new), followed by ten months’ maturation. The result is bright and expressive – lemon zest and citrus lead, layered with […]

Saltfleet Chenin Blanc 2024
$32.00Chenin Blanc is an adaptive variety that originated in the Loire Valley of France. Grown by the Brini Family in Blewitt Springs, a deep sandy soiled site.

Savaterre Chardonnay 2024
$120.00Like all of Savaterre’s wines, there is an immediacy from the very first sip- an arresting intensity that leaves no doubt you are tasting something special. It is a wine of remarkable generosity and presence, delivering a sense of luxury that far exceeds its price. Brilliantly aromatic, it opens with vibrant lime and grapefruit, layered […]

Jasper Hill Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz 2024
$90.00Don’t be misled by cliches about the size and style of the Jasper Hill wines. Big though they are, they are fresh and balanced, with lovely natural acidity and waves of fruit and tannin. “Controlled full on”. Ferrous and autumnal notes reside with dark cherry, chocolate, lavender, potpourri, leather, polished wood and a compote of […]

Exotic aromas of intense, brambly red and black fruits intermingle with dark rose, blood orange and a little leather. The medium-bodied palate is simultaneously concentrated yet beautifully balanced with ripe, persistent […]

Frederick Stevenson Sangiovese 2024
$40.00Sizzling Sangiovese, with Frederick Stevenson’s trademark silky, lithe movement. Bright cherry and plum lead into dried flowers, bay leaf, camphor and spice. Medium-bodied, with a fleshy, fruit-driven mid-palate and firm, al dente tannins bringing structure and grip. Energetic, savoury, and seriously drinkable. A bright and delicious Adelaide Hills sangiovese from the Parish Hill vineyard […]

Enticing aromatics of red and black cherry, orange, floral perfume, fynbos, earth and white pepper. The palate shows juicy fruit, big acidity and pleasantly grippy tannins. Remarkably deft, particularly given the sizeable […]

Christophe et Fils Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2024
$110.00A beautifully ample Mont de Milieu from south-facing vines planted in 1990 and rooted in limestone. Highly aromatic, with fresh lemon, lemongrass, seaweed, gardenia, grapefruit and almond paste. The palate has terrific energy and vibrancy, with the limestone shining through in oyster-shell minerality and a subtle saline edge. Deep, rich and focused yet remarkably airy, […]

Patrick Sullivan Black Sands Chardonnay 2024
$60.00“Another tip-top Black Sands, easily the best to date for it has restraint yet flavour, although that seems to be the Patrick Sullivan way.

Pierro Chardonnay 2024
$110.00“From one of Margaret River’s great chardonnay producers, this is yet another brilliant example of the style that has made Pierro so admired. You wouldn’t guess it came from a warm year—it’s delicate and fine, with a pristine brightness. The nose shows light grapefruit, citrus, a touch of butterscotch, and a subtle mealy note in […]

Savaterre Frere Cadet Chardonnay 2024
$80.00According to Keppell Smith, this chardonnay is from a neighbour’s vineyard, and if I had to guess, I would think it’s the wonderful Indigo vineyard. It’s even more dialed up than the estate in terms of lifted aromatics and luminosity. Orchard fruit, lime, grapefruit, wood spice, cashew and buttered toast combine on a bright, slick […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Small Wonder Chardonnay 2024
$55.00A warmer vintage with a touch more alcohol weight in 2024 means this iteration has a riper spectrum of fruit and flowers but with that combination of slatey and creamy textures. Certified organic grapes, I10V1 clone, no malolactic, unfined. Gilli and Paul Lipscombe, Sailor Seeks Horse

Pierrick Laroche Domaine des Hâtes Petit Chablis 2024
$50.00Beautiful wine and a signpost to the Pierrick Laroche style. Open aromatics of green apple, white peach, white flowers, honeysuckle and cream. Plump, generous and fleshy, in no way fat, just a lovely lanolin texture, with rich orchard and citrus fruit, a sprinkling of herbs and long gentle finish. Chardonnay the way only Chablis can. […]

Thistle & Weed Khakibos White Blend 2024
$36.00Sourced from three wildly different vineyards, yet woven together into a blend of remarkable harmony. Incredibly complex and layered, with fresh lemon, lime and mandarin, orange blossom, frangipani, savoury spice and dolmades. Refined and silky, salty and mineral, with a creamy, lanolin-like mid-palate that is pure textural pleasure. A mineral tightening towards the finish draws […]

Reed Amplitude Riesling 2024
$60.00If I was rich man I would buy every single bottle. Only 600 litres produced off what Sierra Reed emphatically stated is the best Riesling vineyard outside Germany and to emphasis the point, the Riesling is no longer, grafted over to Chardonnay for commercial reasons. If you have taken my advice, you too will feel […]

Tim Smith MGS 2024
$30.00Another testament to the Smith touch, that rare ability to overdeliver without trying too hard. Black plums and blueberries; a fine, sour cherry edge. Sarsaparilla, dark earth, licorice, baked quince. Sucking copper coins through split lips. Plush and slippery on the palate, disciplined by beautifully gritty tannins. Find me a better red at this price. […]

Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Chardonnay 2024
$75.00A new wine in this lineup, from Bowyer Ridge vineyard, Lobethal, at over 500m. Three barriques, two older, one second fill, with full mlf. This needs a little time, with winemaking tricks pleasingly absent, but the acidity is coiled, crimping in flavour, of which there is ample, and texture. Time will heal. Cool nectarine, moving […]
