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 […]

Crawford River Riesling 2023
$52.00Very light, bright yellow colour with a haunting fresh fragrance of lemon-peel, lime juice and high-toned estery floral notes. The wine is tremendously intense and rich in the mouth, lifted in the core by a tickle of sweetness which niftily counteracts the quite high acidity. There is a firmness that stops just short of austerity. […]

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 […]

Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Quite different from the 2021 vintage, being more open and less structured. Very complex, with notes cashew, rockmelon, white peach, spring jasmine, butter white cherry and preserved mango. Succulent and luscious, the palate displays some darker yellow fruit, the acidity tightening the palate and applying a little more sinew and structure. A chardonnay lover’s chardonnay. […]

Meadowbank Riesling 2023
$39.00Aromatic and open with Gardenia, lemon, saltbush, dried oregano, grapefruit, pawpaw and green mango. Rich and almost full bodied, indeed I’m not sure we’ve ever had a Tasmanian Riesling with such dimensions and depth as this. For all its size and opulent shape, it’s very focused and structured, the richness of fruit tensioned by minerals, […]

Gunderloch Jean Baptiste Riesling Kabinett 2021
$35.00Super-bright and vibrant, but with a wide spectrum of aromas from green apple to papaya and pomegranate. The freshness takes your breath away!

Christophe et Fils Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2021
$98.00A terrific followup to the gorgeous 2020. Sleeker, silkier and more mineral, the 2021 nonetheless has a deep core of fleshy, pulpy fruit.
