Iggy Deda Barossa Valley Roussanne Marsanne 2022
$40.00Pale straw to golden in colour, with omnipresent aromas of pear, lychee, yellow peach, and honey, yet at a level above 2021 vintage. And evidently more complex, rounded, and exuberant on the nose. Hints of nuttiness, think macadamia. Voluptuous mouthfeel with smooth, creamy texture, and just enough acidity to keep everything in balance. A tad […]

Stonegarden Riesling 2023
$40.00A great vintage for Eden Valley Riesling, combining soaring aromatics, richness, complexity and precision. Vivid flavours of grapefruit, fresh lime, lime preserve, green mango, jasmine, cumin, green apple and white peach. Very pure mouthfeel, ripe thank heavens it’s not picked too early, and masses of freshness. Poised, elegant and immensely powerful, the fruit thrusting to […]

Domenica Chardonnay 2023
$55.00‘A very fine chardonnay, without quite the precision, detail and tension that I recall from other years. Stone fruit, flint, lanolin, porcini and that regional tattoo of glazed quince. Quinine bitterness at the finale. Mid-weighted and nicely nervous in the mouth, while suitably open-knit enough to breach already. Fine. Drink or hold. Screw cap.’ 95 Points […]

Vinya Vella Grenache 2022
$65.00Tasted alongside the superb, burly 2021, the differences of vintage plain to see. Beautiful aromas, indeed, more lifted than the 21 with sweet and savoury spices, lavender, violets and a compote of sweet and tangy red, black and briary fruits. Medium to full boded with a lovely poised silken flow, the whole bunch tannin guiding […]

Reed Siren Riesling 2023
$45.00There is something Sarr like here, the flavours complex, explosive and tangy, yet with a texture of silk. For those who love German Rieslings, this sits at about a Spatlese feinherb. Rich, succulent and full bodied with flavours of honeycomb, blackcurrant, cherry, rose, fresh lime, candied lime, peach, passionfruit, oats and grapefruit. Deep, and despite […]

Carinus Polkadraai Heuwels Chenin Blanc 2022
$55.00‘Complete contrast to Swartland version. 2022 cool-climate Polkadraai Hills has exhilarating intensity to its steely core & reverberating dry finish. A little grip adds to structure, allowing for ripe red apple flavours to fully emerge over time. Wholebunch press, 75% concrete ‘egg’, rest year older oak, like 2021 – Platter’s Guide, 5* (95/100) Chris Alheit […]

Helm Classic Dry Riesling 2023
$40.00Sourced from four estate vineyards dating back to 1975. The aromas waste no time in establishing their class, and underpin the citrus fruit intertwined with bright acidity. The palate has extreme length and a lingering aftertaste. All three wines underline the strength of this great vintage. 95 points – James Halliday (The Weekend Australian) […]

Carl Loewen Riesling ‘Alte Reben’ 2021
$45.00From 50-70 year old vines, rooted in Devonian slate. Lime zest, fresh earth, minerals, white cherry and blackcurrant. Loewen’s wines possess that rare combination succulence, breadth and richness, tensioned by intense acidity and mineral presence. There is a hint of sweetness, essentially a feinherb, not that it’s labelled as such, and the balance is impeccable. […]

Weiser-Kunstler Trabener Gaispfad Riesling 2018
$85.00Generally preferring sweeter styled Mosel wines, it’s always a thrill to love the unexpected. Immensely complex, deep and brooding with aromas of gooseberry, kiwi, lime, ruby grapefruit, spring jasmine smoke and earth. Absorbing and immense, it’s hard to grasp the sheer depth and breadth of this wine, yet without heaviness or unnecessary structure. Silkily textured, […]
