Colome Estate Malbec 2021
$45.00Colome’s Estate Malbec is always an exquisite colour and 2021 is no exception – deep, bright red with a magenta hue. It has aromas of black and red fruits including blackberries, blackcurrants, raspberries and cherries. Hints of spices and well-integrated oak are there too. Fresh and fruity on the palate with crisp acidity and velvety […]

La Battistelle ‘Battistelle’ Soave Classico 2021
$40.00Despite being a single vineyard and not a blend like the Montesei, there are similarities. Wildly complex, with white flowers, honeysuckle, lemon zest, grapefruit, white peach, orchard fruits and mustard seed. Deep and focused with greater amplitude and a peacocks tail of flavour and texture. The palate is at once succulent and light on its […]

Massolino Moscato D’Asti 2022 (375ml)
$30.00Massolino’s Moscato has long been a benchmark example of the style, but it’s only produced in tiny quantities. Drawn from hand-harvested grapes, a good portion of the vines are rooted in the prime calcareous soils of Serralunga. Massolino’s Moscato is more savoury and complex than the more typical examples. As always, this is bursting with […]

Pewsey Vale Vineyard Riesling 2023
$25.00One of Australia’s most consistent and best value whites. A great vintage for this wine too. Expressive and concentrated. Lemon, lime, white peach, start jasmine and sculptural acidity. Fleshy fruit, some zest and rind for texture and that Clare Valley zing. Drink over the next 20 years at least. Waters Wine Co Riesling sourced […]

Giannitessari Soave 2021
$30.00Made from mostly Garganega, with Trebbiano providing aromatic lift and structure. Quite succulent for a Soave, and softer, broader than the Classico. Melon, almonds, frangipani, lemon, apricot and white peach. Very easy to drink, with a perfect tension of zing and gentle texture to match with food, or not, it really doesn’t matter. Waters Wine Co […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]

Lelie van Saron Syrah 2020
$60.00I love Syrah,” says Natasha Williams, and it shows in the quality of her new release from a single vineyard in the Upper Hemel-en-Aarde Valley. Fermented with 40% whole clusters, it has pepper, violet and clove aromas, red cherry and tangerine flavours, stylish oak and a focused, racy, tapering finish. 2023-28. 93 points – Tim […]

Lelie van Saron Chardonnay 2021
$60.00This low-alcohol (12.8%) 2021 Chardonnay has all that I seek in a fine Chardonnay: an attractively mineral nose with both tension and fruit as well as real focus and balance that promise well for the future. I gave it a score of 17 out of 20 and reckon it will continue to improve for up […]
