Naturally fermented and raised entirely in stainless steel on fine lees, it’s all white peach, nectarine, green apple and lemon, with a little hay and subtle creaminess.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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. […]

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! […]

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.

$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.

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 […]
