Domaine Tempier Bandol Rose 2025
$95.00The grapes used to make this rosé come from selected parcels where the vines are on average 20 years old. The yields are low, which explains the intense concentration and distinct expression of each varietal in this wine. The presence of Mourvedre gives this wine its strong character, balance and complexity. An intense fruit and […]

Dappled ‘Appellation’ Chardonnay 2025
$45.00Aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, mille-feuille and toasted nuts. The palate is quite savoury with salty lime freshness, but the weight and texture builds with time and you’ll start to see the trademark juicy stone fruit flavours. It’s tightly-coiled and as usual with be fantastic now with some air, or a few years in […]

Bannockburn SRH Chardonnay 2025
$109.00From a 12-row block of P58 clone planted in ’76. Matured in French hogsheads and puncheons (40% new); 70% mlf. A very bright green gold. Interestingly, this is the most restrained and subtle of Bannockburn’s ’25 chardonnays, and, no surprise, also the most complex. Aromas of perfectly ripened stone fruits, orange pith and lemongrass precede […]

Bondar Fiano 2025
$30.00Mainly from Ben Lacey’s Branson Road vineyard in Tatachilla, supplemented with fruit from the Minchella family, also in Tatachilla. Predominant steel ferment, with some older oak and amphora, then blended and raised in steel for four months. The ’24 was the best Bondar fiano I have seen, and this sits squarely beside it. Golden apple […]

Gembrook Hill Estate Pinot Noir 2025
$65.00One of Australia’s finest pinot noirs that shames many overpriced icons. As always, simple winemaking; complex results. Destemmed completely, cold soaked and fermented naturally, with 3 weeks on skins (a long time for pinot noir) and matured in French wood, Hogsheads, 20% new. Unfined and unfiltered. Perfume, such perfume. Summer fruit compote, perhaps a bit […]

Dappled Gladysdale Lieu-dit Pinot Noir 2025
$50.00The moderately warm and dry year resulted in long, cool ripening that delivers a Pinot of fantastic depth and weight. Rich cherry cola and dark chocolate aromas mix with dark plum and a gentle smokey oak spice.

Pokolbin Vintners Pokolbin Mountain Light Dry Red 2025
$38.00Hunter Shiraz doing things its own way. Intensely fragrant and wonderfully cool-site in character, with lavender, raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, earth, mace and liquorice. Then comes the freshness – tangy red fruits, chalky tannins, brilliant natural acidity and a seriously mouth-puckering hit of limestone minerality. Elegant but far from lightweight, this is all precision, energy and […]

La Battistelle Montesei Soave Classico 2025
$36.00Aromatically complex, every sniff revealing something new. White flowers, marjoram, white peach, lemon and melon. Delicate palate, light almost, but with pulpy fruit. For all its lightness, the wine has terrific personality, the flavours clear and precise and a structure that is entirely wrapped up by the fruits, flowers and spice. Absolute lunch perfection. […]

CRFT Arranmore Gruner Veltliner 2025
$30.00CRFT’s signature Grüner Veltliner, capturing the variety’s layered complexity and textural depth. Aromatics are vivid and intricate – nougat, smoke and mushroom alongside peach, pear, honeysuckle and jasmine. Powerful yet tightly coiled, this release shows a more compact, tensile structure than previous Arranmore expressions. The palate is silky and creamy, with notes of clove, aniseed, […]

Chacra Chardonnay 2025
$245.00“Wow. This is really complex, with sliced apples, lemons, flint, stones and a hint of limes on the nose. It’s floral and aromatic with white flowers. Long, long finish. Complex and thoughtful.

Tillie J Aligote 2025
$42.00Aligote 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 such good value! […]

Jasper Hill Lo Stesso Fiano 2025
$32.00From estate grown and purchased fruit, Jasper Hill’s Lo Stesso fiano is one of the country’s best. White flowers, pawpaw, creamy and spicey aromatics. Displays all the versatility of fiano, with a lovely pumice-like texture, juicy white and yellow peach, rhubarb, fig, quince and cardamon. Beautifully balanced, a harmonised seam of acidity freshens, brightens and […]

Gembrook Hill Village Pinot Noir 2025
$38.00A taste of Gembrook Hill’s quality and style, though not from their vineyards. Classic Yarra Valley Pinot notes of English strawberry, raspberry, poached plum, violets and a hint of fresh compost. The aromatics are incisive and vibrant, with vivid, translucent fruit.

Joshua Cooper Doug’s Vineyard Pinot Noir 2025
$75.00A familiar wine, with a flavour profile and shape that remains reassuringly consistent year on year. Elegant and finely detailed, with lacy tannins – a clear departure from more rugged, rough-hewn Pinots. Sandalwood, fresh herbs and blueberry lead into a compote of English summer red fruits. The palate finishes mouth-watering and gently tightening, bringing focus […]

Rob Hall Pinot Noir 2025
$30.00Such a wonderful wine, Rob Hall’s Yarra Valley pinot noir, one of the most consistent and best value wines in the region. Lifted aromatics with lavender, sweet and tangy red fruits and savoury spice. Light to medium bodied, with fantastic concentration of flavours, perky acidity and soft, fine tannins.

Salo Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2025
$55.00From the Full Moon vineyard in Gladysdale, which, sadly (and in a sign of the times), has been pulled out by the owner. Salo has another vineyard lined up for ’26. In the meantime, this is an excellent way to go out. Brightly coloured with aromas of nectarine kernel, citrus peel, flint and light marine […]

Mulline Pinot Gris 2025
$35.0020% was crushed and fermented on skins for seven days. A pale, bright salmon colour. Beautifully poised with its aromas of redcurrant, nectarine, pear and blood orange. Even better on the palate, where the flavours and texture are perfectly balanced by subtle time-on-skins tannins, before finishing orange-pithy and long. Should age nicely, too. Excellent. 96 […]

By Farr Chardonnay 2025
$110.00Yummm. By Farr is in the top tier of Australian chardonnay, and there are certainly none better. Last year’s GC Chardonnay, the 2024 was my pick all year, so ravishing and tensioned it was. And yet the estate 2025 is a totally different beast. During our recent discussion, Nick Farr went on to point out […]

CRFT K1 Gruner Veltliner 2025
$30.00It’s odd how different CRFT’s three wines are, all classic Gruner Veltliners, yet all entirely different. The K1 is cooler, more discreet, sleek and linear in shape, without the ample bosom of the Longview. Reticent aromatics take a little coaxing, before revealing white peach, melon, mint and apricot. Spicy, salty palate, very fine and sleek, […]

Sylvain Cathiard Bourgogne Aligote 2025

This bright pure white makes a brilliant addition to the Cathiard range, and what a great […]
