Cantagallo Chianti Montalbano Riserva 2021
$60.00Generous, approachable and beautifully balanced, this affordable Riserva hails from the smallest and most northerly of the Chianti subzones, just south of the rolling hills of Montalbano. It opens with bright red cherry notes, evolving into bramble fruits and a layered palate of integrated spice, tea leaf, and subtle hints of peach, leather and fresh-cut […]

Pegasus Bay Finale Half Bottle 2021 (375ml)
$65.00“Noble sweet white blend made in the style of Sauternes. Very luscious without being cloying. Plenty of honeyed botrytis influence with vanilla, ginger, bush honey and quince characters. A wonderful dessert wine.” 96 Points, Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review “Pungent nose of musk & smoke from the botrytis, a saline aspect, marzipan & fruit […]

Tyrrell’s Vat 8 Shiraz Cabernet 2023
$90.00The outlier in the range, considering that it’s the only blend and a multiregional blend at that, with 35% of the fruit coming from McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s also a genuine blend of styles, not trying to be a Hunter Valley wine, but an emblematic Australian wine, and therein lies its value. It’s not […]

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$145.00“This was a very good vintage in Margaret River after the slightly more challenging ’21. This has the refined elegance and prettiness that is the Moss Wood DNA. The colour is quite pale compared to some previous vintages, but don’t be fooled into thinking this is some shrinking violet. Violets, yes, but plenty more in […]

Riggs & Wiggs Mangerton Vineyard Block 1 Semillon 2024
$35.00The vines at the Mangerton vineyard were planted in 1978 using cuttings from the 1899 plantings on Oakey Creek Road. Block 1, with its clay loam soils and steep, south-facing slope, produces a powerful semillon with impressive flavour depth.

Henri Germain Bourgogne Aligote 2022
$90.00“The 2022 Bourgogne Aligoté comes from a single parcel in Meursault and is one-quarter aged in barrel. It has a very pure and perfumed bouquet. The well-balanced palate has a keen line of acidity and a nice sharpness here with a “pointed” finish. Very fine.” 88-90 points, Neal Martin, Vinous This rare Aligoté is drawn […]

Trutta Sangiovese 2023
$34.00Whole berry fermentation and a paradoxical three weeks on skins has led to a classic sangiovese and one of Australia’s best. Super bright red fruits, florals, bay leaf, and baking spices with firm, grippy, tobacco laden tannins. Shows the light and shade of the varietal and this is very Italianate in style, to the point […]

Marc Morey Chassagne-Montrachet 2022
$215.00“The 2022 Chassagne-Montrachet has pleasing mineralité on the nose, almost making it worthy of a Premier Cru. It is very finely focused, with touches of hazelnut emerging with time. The palate is very well-balanced, with fine tension and poise. Not amazingly complex, yet it delivers in terms of purity and precision. Drink this over the next […]

Marc Morey Bourgogne Blanc 2022
$105.00“The 2022 Bourgogne Blanc offers bright orchard fruit, particularly orange blossom, on the nose that will be difficult to resist in its youth. The palate is rounded with a smooth texture, lightly spiced with a dab of lemongrass perking up the finish. Delightful regional white Burgundy.” 87 points – Neal Martin, Vinous.com Click here for […]

Domaine Tempier Bandol La Migoua 2022
$190.00The La Migoua area is renowned for its geological features and is often studied for its complex sediment patterns. The outcrops of rocks found in this area date back much further than those in the rest of the Bandol winegrowing area. The effect of one tectonic plate sinking beneath another (subduction) can actually be observed […]

Hubert Lamy Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Derriere chez Edouard VV Rouge 2022
$305.00This has long been one of Olivier Lamy’s finest reds. It comes from just under a hectare of vines on the lower slope of Derrière chez Edouard, where the soils have more clay and have historically been planted to Pinot. In fact, the vines here are over 50 years old and give very small, ripe and intensely […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022
$280.00‘Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous and more concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin 2022
$240.00“A more deeply pitched nose reflects aromas of humus-inflected poached plum, cassis and violet that display hints of earth and leather. The supple and succulent yet well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a lovely mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere finish where a touch of wood arises. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and worth […]

Sylvie Esmonin Bourgogne Rouge 2022
$120.00‘An exuberantly fresh nose features notes of plum, dark pinot fruit and plenty of earth character. The rich, delicious and voluminous middleweight flavors possess excellent depth and persistence for a wine at this level. To be sure, this is somewhat rustic but overall it is really very good.’ Drink 2026+. 87-89 points – Burghound, Jan […]

Henriques & Henriques Finest Full Rich Medeira 5Y0 NV (500ml)

There is a unique and sophisticated Estufa process used: the wines are slowly allowed to warm to 45ºC before being left to […]

Fonseca Vintage Port 2017
$220.00The 2017 Vintage Port, not quite bottled when seen but the final blend, is a field blend (with typical grapes like Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesca, Tinto Cão, Tinta Roriz and Tinta Barroca) aged for approximately 20 months in used French oak. It comes in with 98 grams of residual sugar, a little drier on paper […]

Fonseca Vintage Port 2016
$220.00On this second look, this Fonseca is still remarkably expressive, lifted and gloriously fresh, even with that slight closing. It has reasonable mid-palate concentration but even better intensity of flavor. Despite that intensity of flavor, it is not quite as sexy as it is in some years, at least not yet, as the tannins are […]

Gosset Grand Blanc de Blancs NV Brut
$165.00Too many Blanc de Blancs are sour and overtly mineral, making them difficult to enjoy, let alone drink. Gosset as ever manages to assemble a Champagne of completeness, a combination of invigorating freshness and a blanket of texture and fruit. At first subtle, but that doesn’t last as the beautiful aromas of burnt butter, nougat, […]

Lafarge-Vial Fleurie ‘Clos Vernay’ 2023
$125.00This delicious Fleurie was astounding when tasted from barrel, and has opened up more since bottling, with an expressive currant and raspberry fruit marked by exquisite finesse backed up by depth, density and admirable length on the palate. The vineyard is surrounded by walls and by forest on three sides; the 400m-450m elevation brings freshness, […]

Stanton & Killeen Rutherglen Topaque NV (500ml)
$25.00Such a different expression. Topaque’s usually play second fiddle to Muscat, but that should definitely not be the case. Very complex and layered with a lovely tension between the sweet and savoury elements. Florals, honeycomb, salted caramel, grilled nuts, sultanas and savoury spice. It’s somehow lighter than the Muscat, yet shows more vivacity and stuffing. […]

Vincent Dancer Pommard 1er Cru Les Pezerolles 2022
$590.00Les Pézerolles is a site just above Les Petits Épenots and Clos des Epeneaux and is, therefore, one of Pommard’s highest Premiers Crus. It regularly produces some of the village’s finest reds. It’s a site that gives finesse—in the context of Pommard—and is widely considered to generate a style that is as much Volnay as Pommard. Some big names work […]

Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots 2021

Antoine Jobard Pommard 2021
$275.00“Also a nose of depth and guarded darker fruit. Broad, mouth-filling wine – a fine, grainless tannin as a support for everything else. Modest bitters add extra complexity to these finishing flavours. Another wine to wait for, but perhaps becoming accessible a little before the previous Beaune.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “The 2021 Pommard Village has […]
