Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc 2021
$95.00The Anjou Blanc is from old densely planted vines, rooted in shallow sand and schist soils. Aged for up to 18 months in 500L and Stockinger “cigar” barrels, 30% of which are new. This is certainly the estates signature style, if more approachable, fuller and rounder than the more aristocratic Savennieres. Clear, tender, transparent and […]

Joshua Cooper Pyren Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$75.00Essence of cabernet, hard country style. Complexity dialled up, the savoury fruit and textural elements roped tight as if it’s going to take a lot of muscle to prise them loose. Blackcurrant, mulberry, blackberry, black olive, licorice, pink peppercorns, soy and cumin. Concentrated and deep, the tannins providing great width, focus and envelopment. Would love […]

Lalu Langhe Nebbiolo 2021
$90.00Organic. This vibrant, perfumed Nebbiolo equally blends two sites that were both planted by Lalù. The first site, Roncaglie in La Morra, is a plot of land that Lara Rocchetti and Luisa Sala bought in 2015 and planted in 2017. Looking towards Verduno, this parcel faces east at an altitude of 400 metres. It’s a […]

Falkenstein Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Spatlese 2022
$100.00The 2022er Krettnacher Euchariusberg Riesling Spätlese Klaus (the reference to this internal cask name is provided in small print on the label after the AP number) comes from fruit harvested on 60-year-old vines in the prime Gross Schock sector of the vineyard and was fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar. Still very reductive […]

Bloody Hill Villages Rose 2023
$30.00European in style. At least in the sense that it’s herbal, savoury, spicy and salty. Lifted red fruits, but it really is about those herbal elements and some lanolin fluffiness on the midpalate. Finishes mildly textural and slightly saline. Mouthwatering and delicious. Give it some food! Waters Wine Co

Thibaud Boudignon Rose de Loire 2022
$50.00‘The 2022 Rosé de Loire displays a smokey mix of crushed apples and wet stones. Sour citrus and tart orchard fruits nicely contrast a pleasant inner sweetness. A mineral staining lingers while the 2022 finishes fresh and with a crunchy sensation.’ Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023. Substantially Cabernet Franc (80%), with some Grolleau (20%), […]

Hirsch Bohan Dillon Pinot Noir 2020
$140.00Out of Stock
Hirsch’s wines are personified by delicacy and weightless concentration. Pure, cool and fresh with red fruits, hedge fruits, subtle spice and autumn notes of fallen leaves and fresh earth. Finessing tea leaf tannins and intense acidity weave almost unseen, asserting themselves towards the close. Lingering and contemplative wine. Waters Wine Co The 2020 Pinot […]

Weiser-Kunstler Gaispfad “Grosse Eule” Riesling 2021
$100.00The 2020er Ellergrub, as it is referred to on the consumer label (the reference to Grosse Eule is left for the back label), has a restrained yet beautiful nose of minty herbs, thyme, yellow flowers, smoke, lozenge, spices, and blackberry. The wine proves slightly juicy and creamy on the mid-palate, yet there is quite some […]

Domaine Barmes-Buecher Riesling Clos Sand Lieux Dits 2019
$85.00Essentially a monopole of the estate, with new high density plantings. A high, cool vineyard of granite, very steep and surrounded by woodland. The sparse and rocky soils a pivot point towards finesse, and although the wines are rich, full bodied and shapely, they are slightly more discreet, elegant, linear and fine. Brioche notes, […]

Rall Grenache Blanc 2019
$50.00Out of Stock
The nose shows a little reduction before lemon, naartjie (mandarin), stone fruit, cut apple and a little nuttiness. Rich and broad with seemingly quite moderate acidity, round without being too leesy, this is a more generous vintage than usual. 92 Points – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za The grapes for this wine come from dry-farmed bush vines […]

Clemens Busch Marienburg Grosses Gewächs 2020
$135.00Out of Stock
95 Points – “The 2020 Marienburg GG is pure and fresh on the coolish and stony nose that represents its terroir perfectly well even if still showing a sur lie layer. Very elegant and refined on the palate, this is a lush, well-balanced and now creamy-textured Marienburg with gentle acidity and a long, saline and […]

Fabien Coche Meursault ‘Les Chevalieres’ 2021
$250.00The lieux-dit of Les Chevalieres is situated above the village of Meursault. Above is the lieux-dit of Les Luchets, which produces a higher toned, more tensile wine. I can’t help but think that this is ideally situated, in a sense, mid-slope, the perfect aspect in Burgundy. Impossibly complex, with notes of white flowers, lemon, lime, […]

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2022
$90.00“One of my picks from Alheit this year. Excellent…This used to be the one wine from Alheit Vineyards that we didn’t include in our allocation request, because we felt it always had too much Muscat in the blend. It’s perfectly clear to me, and should be to anyone else, that Chris Alheit has taken heed of our important opinion and has […]

Juicy, succulent, rich and luscious with butter, honey, mandarin, fig, grapefruit, pawpaw, citrus blossom, star jasmine, crushed pineapple and macadamia. Textured with savoury oak, dry extract, and fleshy fruit stuffing. Thoroughly irresistible and the acid line taut, tensioned and driving. Like an Italian interior; sumptuous yet […]

Joshua Cooper Blanche Barkley Old Vines Shiraz 2023
$90.00Unique. There is simply no shiraz like this anywhere in the world, and it is yet more evidence (as if any were needed) of Australia’s most important varietal. The most complex wine of the range. Forceful aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, redcurrant, cranberry, lavender, violets and sweet/savoury Middle Eastern spices. The savoury elements are strong, as […]

Fletcher Barbaresco Faset Cru 2021
$145.002019 was the first year David has bottled Faset as a single Cru. David describes Faset has an ‘unparalleled richness’, a trait shared due to the similar soils with Asili, Rabaja and Rio Sordo. Perhaps easier to understand is that it’s the closest wine in David’s bottlings to Barolo in style. In the review tasting […]

Alex Moreau Chassagne Montrachet 2022
$265.00“Smoke and petrol nuances add breadth to the aromas of rosemary oil, pear and soil tones. There is impressive volume to the dense and seductively textured medium weight flavors thanks to the abundant amount of dry extract that imparts a sappy quality to the lingering, powerful and balanced finale. This is noticeably less refined, indeed […]

Alex Moreau Bourgogne Blanc 2022

MMAD Grenache 2022
$75.00Unusually for a Grenache the 2022 Mmad evolved and transformed itself so much over the 3 or so hours we tried. Floral with violets and geraniums, earthy notes, pine nettles, red fruit compote, milk chocolate, creaming soda, sage, mint and blacker fruits becoming more apparent the longer it’s open. What started out as a little […]

Sadie Family Swartland Kokerboom 2022
$155.00“This is a wonderful expression of his Citrusdal Mountain farm, and something of a tribute to Henk Laing, the grower who passed away last year. Combining Semillon with around 15% interplanted Semillon Gris, this is less exotic than it can be, showing layers of honeysuckle, saffron, citrus and herbs supported by fresh, sappy minerality, a […]

Chantereves Bourgogne Rouge 2021
$105.00Out of Stock
This great-value red is drawn from two vineyards in roughly equal measure: Paris-l’Hôpital in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune on dark, sandy, granitic soil; and Puligny-Montrachet on loamy limestone. The vines in both sites are more than 60 years old on average. This wine captures the quintessential Chanterêves character of fruit purity, savoury nuance and […]

Clos Mogador Com Tu Montsant 2021

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang 2022
$360.00“The 2022 Pur Sang is done in a really sophisticated style. Despite its long élevage, it needs a little more time for its oak (demi-muids and cigar-shaped barrels) to integrate fully and for its sense of strictness to mellow. But this isn’t a wine you’d crack open on release anyway. It is pure and clear, […]

‘I started with this in 2003 and it’s still something of a mystery to me; it’s a grand cru and I pose questions versus the grand crus here but in the end it’s all about interpretations. Always a surprising wine. The logic is the opposite of Bâtard for harvesting – I wait a little to […]

Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault 2022

A blend of Narvaux in purchased grapes, Luchets in young vines which they manage, and Malpoiriers, Fresh pale lemon. The bouquet is very stylish, the refined side of Meursault, but also promising the body one would expect. Surprisingly firm acidity, citrus in style, this wine will benefit from longer elevage.
