Julian Haart Wintricher Ohligsberg Riesling Spatlese 2022
$165.00Astonishing nose of lilacs, hyacinths and a bunch of flowers that I can’t put names too. The same applies to the incredibly fine and delicate palate that redefines this category of Mosel riesling with unfermented grape sweetness and a stupidly negative reputation. Graceful and quite creamy mid-palate, the enigmatic vibrancy at the finish, all without […]

Julian Haart Goldtropfchen Riesling Spatlese 2023
$165.00Here is all the baroque beauty of this great Goldtröpfchen site. The cornucopia of yellow fruit, berries, flowers and floral honey would demand several paragraphs for an adequate description. Incredible finesse and subtlety on the medium-bodied palate, the wine hopping, skipping and jumping for joy. Then comes the incredible stony power in the compact and […]

Decades Pinot Noir 2023
$78.00Is there more promise for Tasmanian chardonnay or pinot noir, or in a sense, are they equal? Considering the Decades chardonnay and pinot noir are off the same vineyard and the wines are as they are, I find i cannot apportion preference. Fragrant; it’s so beautifully alive with lavender and violets, clove, smoked paprika and […]

Jane Eyre Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$95.00From a single vineyard planted in the late ’90s; native-yeast ferment with 20% whole bunches; matured in French oak (10% new) for 10 months. The whole bunch adds a crackling component here, an autumnal rustle, which is suffused with fruit as the wine is buoyed with air, redcurrant and wild red cherry unfurling. Carraway, rhubarb, […]

MMAD Rose 2024
$38.00The second release of rosé for MMAD, and from all varieties on the old vineyard: grenache, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chenin blanc. Like the 2023, the proportions are a mystery, and lifted herbal notes of cabernet again lead the aromatics, but the colour has been dialled down to a classic coral pink. Grenache lends red-fruited […]

Joshua Cooper Dash Farm Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
$55.00The lightest iteration of Joshua Cooper’s sturdier varietals, but it’s by no means light. Super complex aromatics of lavender, violets, iodine, blueberry, blackberry, blackcurrant, charcoal/coal dust. Tight, coiled lacy and chalky, the skins are tasted and felt. Tannins are firm, receding to chalk and they are ever present, shaping and defining the wine. Interwoven acidity […]

Craiglee Shiraz 2019
$60.00Firm classic Craiglee, a style that hasn’t wavered for at least the past 20 years. Blackberry, mulberry, cherry, blackcurrant, baking spices, tobacco, cigar box and bay leaf. Firm and savoury, still very young at this stage – you can smell, feel and taste the tannins. A nod to the great reds of Valpolicella, sweet, savoury, […]

JJ Prum Bernkasteler Badstube Riesling Spatlese 2022
$110.00“This reminds me so much of English hedgerows in summer with their diversity of flowers, berries and herbs. Cool and elegant in spite of the impressive ripeness on the medium-bodied palate. Very polished through the impeccably balanced, subtle finish. Hard to believe that analytically this must have a significant amount of grape sweetness, because it’s […]

Fletcher Barbaresco Roncaglie Cru 2021
$175.00In 2019 David was granted the right to bottle under the Roncaglie cru as opposed to Barbaresco DOCG. David explains that the plot he sources from in Roncaglie is South West facing, a little more shaded so longer hang time & more ferrous soils = Dark fruits, more masculine tannin. Roncaglie is one of the […]

Place of Changing Winds Tradition White 2022

According to Remi, the components are selections of the various ferments that are the most fruit forward. Rich, luscious, full bodied and wildly complex. Honeysuckle, yellow fruits, preserved and fresh citrus, […]

Chantereves Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru Les Tuyaux 2021
$200.00The Chanterêves team has been purchasing fruit from Les Tuyaux since 2019. This small plot of 60-year-old vines is located at the northern end of the appellation, next to Aux Herbues on the border between Vosne-Romanee and Nuits-Saint-Georges. Soils are relatively deep, stony and light in colour. Chanterêves’ Nuits-Saint-Georges wines always look more Vosne in […]

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, […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay La Charme Aux Pretres 2019
$235.00Out of Stock
Outstanding. Top Value. This is also decidedly restrained and offers only glimpses of the spiced citrus peel and green apple aromas. The rich, full-bodied and intense medium weight flavors are at once caressing yet powerful on the impressively long and saline-suffused finish. This too is very good for its level. 88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound […]

Place of Changing Winds Mari Magno Pinot Noir 2022
$90.00Mari Magno is the new, first-level Pinot Noir label. This year’s wine is based on fruit from POCW’s échalas (staked, bush-vine, co-planted) block, topped with fruit from the neighbouring young-vine block. It has had an extra 12 months in bottle because the team wanted to learn what this extra time would bring to a wine from these vines. […]

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Silex 2022
$470.00“The 2022 Silex is not a lot of fun upon release; dry and tense, it really needs time to mellow. There’s flesh from the clay element of its clay-flint soils, which is felt on entry but tightens up as it moves through the mouth. This remains a wine of drive, firmness and upright structure; it […]

Domaine A Stoney Vineyard Cabernets 2018
$40.00Domaine A’s Stoney Creek range is built for earlier drinking, yet they are very serious wines indeed, with a little more fruit weight than their other releases. A 87/9.5/3/0.5% cabernet sauvignon/Merlot/cabernet franc/ petit verdot blend, somewhat reminiscent of St Estephe. Expressive aromatics of cassis, violets, lavender, bay leaf, blackberry, dark cherry and spicy oak. Gorgeous […]

Domaine A Petit A Cabernets 2014 Museum Release

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 […]
