Massolino Moscato D’Asti 2020 (375ml)
$26.00Massolino’s Moscato has long been a benchmark example of the style, but it’s only produced in tiny quantities. Drawn from hand-harvested grapes, a good portion of the vines are rooted in the prime calcareous soils of Serralunga. Massolino’s Moscato is more savoury and complex than the more typical examples. As always, this is bursting with […]

Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut Riesling 2021 (375ml)
$40.00‘Cordon Cut’ refers to the unusual practice of cutting the canes allowing the grapes to ‘raisin’ naturally on the vine, concentrating flavour and sugar levels. 2020 is another outstanding vintage for Mount Horrocks. The wine is a bright, pale white gold colour with concentrated lemon-lime and vanilla spice. The juicy fruit washes over a vibrant […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2020
$72.00Mosel’s 2020 vintage was remarkable. Warm and dry conditions ushered in a record breaking early bud break and flowering. A repeat of 2018? Drought caused a level of stress in younger vines and heat and the lack of rain caused sugar levels to increase rapidly. Some producers decided to pick early, for some, the earliest […]

Dr Thanisch Berncasteler Badstube Riesling Auslese 2017
$73.00Light to mid-yellow colour, and a reductive smoky nose at first, joined by rich honeyed floral and fruit aromas, the richness of the wine undercut by bright acidity and the finish clean and refreshing.

Dagueneau Jurancon Les Jardins de Babylone Moelleux 2016
$385.00The 2016 is equally stunning but far more youthful and therefore, more delicate and discrete than the 2015. It’s a vibrantly racy wine with mixed citrus and fresh-cut apple notes and a juicy, vibrant close. Both vintages are Germanic in style, less so dessert wines but more for drinking throughout the meal (the way you […]

Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2012
$110.00This 100% Furmint is a fabulously intricate wine of awesome aromatic complexity, choc-a-block with fresh and dried fruit flavours, earthy spices and floral honey notes. It’s super complex with the tangy cut of tangerine and orange brightness to balance the oozing sweetness (it has roughly 140 grams residual). The balance between these elements brings a […]

The 2020 Phoenix was picked in November, then naturally fermented and aged for eight months in used barrels. With moderate residual sugar (of around 60 g/L), the racy Salharang style displays a terrific […]
