Domaine A Petit A Cabernets 2017
$55.00Out of Stock
St Emillion inspired, but for me, reminiscent of the haunting, autumnal wines of Pessac Leognan. Beautifully complex aromas of blackcurrant, cranberry, mulberry, blackberry, violets, garrigue herbs, tobacco leaf, mint and cocoa. Pure ripe fruit, supple initially, before the sensual squeeze of chewy, tobacco laced tannins. Very complex interplay of savoury and fruit notes with squid […]

Place of Changing Winds Larderdark Chardonnay 2022
$165.00Out of Stock
Low yields this vintage, which is a bummer, so not much made but great concentration of fruit weight and power the positive outcome. However, just when you think all the spiced stone fruit, citrus, nougat-like lees and cedary oak will add up to a weighty wine, it does an about-face. The acidity kicks in, reining […]

I’m not sure it’s possible to produce anything but an excellent wine off the Stonegarden vineyard and the 2021 is certainly one of the best. Could this be anything other than Barossa Shiraz?

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2018
$55.00Tasted alongside the 2017, the 2018 vintage is warmer and drier, and so fuller, with a slightly darker fruit profile and pronounced structure. Gorgeous aromatics of cola, aniseed, cassis, rose, geranium, bitumen and savoury spice. Rich and full flavoured, but in no way heavy and the overall impression is one of translucence and purity. Round […]

Pressing Matters R9 Riesling 2022
$42.00I love the ‘R’ designations on the Pressing Matters rieslings. From R0 for bone-dry to R139 for sweet, they are an indication of the RS in the wine. The R9, in theory, should teeter on that fulcrum between dry and off-dry, but that crystalline Tasmanian acidity tempers any sweetness and it appears dry. And totally […]
