Polperro Mill Hill Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00If there was a single vineyard wine in this release that defines Polperro then it would have to be Mill Hill. One of the coolest sites and late harvested, there is nonetheless an intensity and concentration of flavour, coupled with high toned aromatics, bracing structure and buoyant acidity. Tangy red fruits, hedge fruits, rhubarb, sweet […]

Walsh & Sons Hamish Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Lemon hued, with heady aromas of white nectarine and Feijoa. A lime creaminess. The seaside vibes continue on the palate, where the racy acidity harmonizes with a slippery texture and ocean spray saltiness. Winemaker’s Notes Shop ALL Australian Chardonnay

Eisenstone McDonald Vineyard Marananga Shiraz 2020
$115.00Deep, dark and very bright purple-red colour, with a lovely detailed aroma of chocolate and herbs, both fresh and dried; floral nuances and red fruits, hints of spices and the palate is very full-bodied and generous with lashings of supple tannins, all in harmony with the great depth of fruit. A complex wine already: it […]

Muller-Catoir Grosses Gewächs Bürgergarten Im Breumel Riesling 2021
$140.00Still extremely youthful, this 2021 Riesling GG is going to take a while to come out of its shell. However, the combination of concentrated citrusy fruit and fresh herb finesse is already very apparent. Bone dry, but beautifully balanced and polished at the very long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. 96 points – […]

$125.0095 points/Classic.

Nicole Lamarche Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot 2019
$425.00Lamarche’s 1.35 hectares of vineyards in the Clos de Vougeot are situated over three terroirs: one is at the top of the Clos near the Château (actually there are two small parcels in the area known as Montiotes Hautes); another is in the middle tranche on the Vosne side (Petits Maupertuis); and the remaining parcel is […]

Henri Germain Meursault 1er Cru Charmes 2022
$360.00“The 2022 Meursault 1er Cru Les Charmes is especially good this year, offering up aromas of citrus oil, lemon curd, pear, white flowers and bread dough framed by a deft touch of youthful reduction. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave, with a deep, multidimensional core of fruit, racy acids and chalky structuring extract, it concludes […]

Iggy Adelaide Hills Rebula 2023
$45.00Ribolla Giolla in Italian, and certainly made as a homage to Friuli. From a cooler part of the Adelaide Hills, a triangle of 300 vines at the bottom of a slope otherwise planted to Syrah. 40% on skins for 2 months, yet there is nothing orange or skinsy about this. Generous and succulent with yellow […]

Rob Hall Harriet’s Pinot Noir 2023
$42.00From the ’96-planted Harriet’s Vineyard in Healesville; 35% whole bunches and matured (50%) in 1-year-old puncheons; the remainder in seasoned hogsheads. Bright crimson. Nicely perfumed with aromas of strawberries, redcurrants, musk and a little crushed violet. The mid-weight palate is nicely balanced with both good acidity and gently grippy tannins that will need another six […]

Rob Hall Chardonnay 2023
$30.00A blend of two vineyards. Willowlake (cooler southern end of the valley), and my folks vineyard (south of Healesville). Predominantly fermented in older French hogsheads (300L). There’s flavours of curd and fresh cream, white peach and citrus. It’s leesy and fresh, but with nice weight on the palate. Winemaker’s Notes

Place of Changing Winds Larderdark Chardonnay 2022
$165.00Low 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 […]

Billecart-Salmon Brut Reserve NV
$115.00The avowed aim is to achieve finesse, elegance and balance through very cool ferments in stainless steel, an approach pioneered by Billecart-Salmon. A feature of the house is low dosage levels (here 8g/l), and the wines are fragrant and elegant. 96 points James Halliday’s Top 100 2023 Dried lemon, grapefruit, croissants and salted almonds […]

Ca Matta Valpolicella Classico 2020
$35.00If I had to show a Valpolicella, a bottle that was a classic and typical example of the region, then it would have to be from Ca Matta. A classic blend of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 5% Molinara e Rebo and at only 12.5% alcohol, this looks tastes and feels like times past. Violets, […]

Donnhoff Niederhauser Klamm Riesling Kabinett 2022
$65.00Floral aromas of lemongrass and orange blossom linger into warm stone fruit and ripe citrus notes. More svelte and juicy – and appealingly playful – than the Leistenberg this vintage, with a relaxed and balanced sweetness. Refreshing acidity and beautiful stony spice on the lingering, dry finish. 17+ points. Paula Sidore, Jancis Robinson 2023 The Klamm, […]

Patrick Sullivan Bull Swamp Chardonnay 2023
$85.00The bold and the beautiful. Sexy aromatics of spring jasmine, sunflower, pumpkin seed, citrus peel, breadcrumbs and mixed spice. So chardonnay, yet quixotic. Tense and coiled, with a ridge of green apple, flavours tumbling either side. White peach, nectarine, ruby grapefruit, mandarin, preserved citrus and tabouli. A tension of opposites, reserved for only the world’s […]

Gembrook Hill Chardonnay 2022
$50.002022 was a cooler, later vintage, perfect for the Gembrook Hill style, of purity, restraint and elegance. Singular in style, with the weight, length and silky texture of Chablis. The flavours though are entirely unique, combining essence of grapefruit, white flowers, kiwifruit, lime and white peach. The balance and tension of elements is incredible, a […]

Frederic Savart L’Ouverture NV
$195.00The NV Extra-Brut L’Ouverture (100% Pinot Noir, base 2019) is a bright, exuberant Champagne. Crushed rocks mint, white flowers, apricot, tangerine peel and citrus confit all race out of the glass. Bright and finely cut, this steely, delineated Champagne has a ton to offer.

Paul Prieur Sancerre Blanc 2020
$75.00Paul Prieur’s Sancerre Blanc comes from estate vineyards, composed of either silex or limestone and blended. But make no mistake; this “entry” level Sancerre is very serious indeed. Medium bodied, sleek, mineral and mouthwatering. White peach lemon, lemon zest, green apple and savoury spice. Tense and pulsating, without the textural pillow of the more expensive […]

Thierry Glantenay Bourgogne Rouge 2019
$85.00The 2019 Bourgogne Rouge delivers inviting aromas of cassis, sweet berries, spices and orange rind, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that’s lively and sapid. After the rich, gourmand 2018, the 2019 is a touch more nuanced and dynamic, but this is always a dependable cuvée. 88 Points – William Kelley, […]

Eva Fricke Kiedrich Riesling Trocken 2021
$85.00“The raspberry, orange-blossom, jasmine and white-tea character suggests a wine that’s less sweet and structured than this is. Still very youthful, with serious tension between the slightly grainy tannins and crisp acidity and the lush elements of the wine. Long, very bright finish.” 93 points, jamessuckling.com “The Riesling trocken 2021 Kiedrich offers a fine yet […]

Eisenstone Greenock Shiraz 2021
$85.00Deep, bright red-purple colour; the bouquet likewise bright and fresh, initially with a high-note of freshly-sawn oak, which dissipated somewhat with time in the glass. The palate is bright, intense and elegantly weighted, just making the full-bodied weight category. It’s quite oaky but has good approachability, medium-long carry, and the tannins are ample and very […]

Tyrrell’s Mother’s Shiraz 2017

If your’e looking for oomph and stuffing and bigness, well, perhaps Cantina D’Arcy isn’t for you. Everyone is referencing Burgundy in the same breath as D’Arcy, and although the almost unbelievable elegance, beauty and ethereal nature of the wines leads your intellectual side to another place, the smell, flavours, textures, soul, the very heart of […]

Tripe Iscariot Karridale Chenin Blanc 2023
$30.00The previous vintage put this and its Wilyabrup sibling under the Absolution range, but that name’s been removed from both now – more about the subregion and variety perhaps. Trying the two site-specific chenin blancs side by side offers great insights: this more textural, a bit waxy with pear skins and baked apple, a little […]

Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2022
$55.00Out of Stock
From a 330m-elevation vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Whole-bunch pressed to older puncheons. Natural fermentation and no mlf. Sadly, this will be the last Applecross chardonnay from this vineyard.
