Mullineux Straw Wine 2021 (375ml)
$90.00Gosh! this is a tough one to describe as we have not really tasted anything quite like this. Expressive bouquet of lime marmalade, lavender honey, apricot, yellow peach, fig and cherry. Luscious and intense with thrusting acidity and slightly textured. There is a reductive nutty element that balance’s the sweetness of the wine, but there’s […]

Massolino Moscato D’Asti 2022 (375ml)
$30.00Massolino’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 […]

Disznoko Tokaji 1413 Szamorodni Edes 2018
$65.00This traditional style of sweet wine has been produced in Tokaj for centuries, and 1413 is the year the Disznókő vineyard was first mentioned in a land register. The name Szamorodni comes from the Polish meaning ‘as it comes’ or ‘the way it was grown’, and so the bunches come as they are from vineyard to cellar. […]

Disznoko Tokaji Late Harvest Furmint 2019
$45.00László Mészáros makes this late harvest wine from mainly botrytised Furmint grapes (along with 6% Zéta and 6% Hárslevelu), which have shrivelled to around half of their original volume.

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2020
$80.00Out of Stock
One of the great Spatlese vineyards, this is richer, deeper and more exotic than the cooler Juffer. Ripe fruits of paw paw, apricot, yellow peach lime, white flowers, and dried herbs. Super fine palate, slender and tender, but with waves of decadent fruit. Woven acidity that is always present, but plays a support act to […]

$200.00This golden-colored Tokaji has aromas of raw honey, apricot blossom, pear and baked apple tart.

Quinta Do Noval LBV Unfiltered 2017
$75.00One of the best LBV’s tasted in a long time. I often find them losing a little bit of freshness and bitter notes too apparent. Not a bit of it here, however! Oozing aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, prunes, dates, violets and mint. Luscious and full bodied, some clove and cinnamon, the spice […]

Seehof Morstein Riesling Beerenauslese 2017 (375ml)
$90.00It is difficult to describe, in decent terms, my salivation over a wine that is not only fabulous, but in relative terms, a ridiculous bargain. Extremely complex, yellow fruits, fresh citrus and preserved citrus. Lucid and creamy, the fruit pillowed if you like by soft, long acidity. Considering this is from Morstein, this is so […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2021
$110.00Out of Stock
An absolutely stunning wine, and if your perception of Auslese is as a sweet or dessert wine, then you need to taste this. There’s sweetness to be sure, but it is entirely in the shade of volumes of fruit, herbs and minerals. White cherry, green mango, nougat, gardenia, citrus, nectarine and white peach. Breathtaking purity, […]

The grapes are picked in three passes through the vines and, in strong botrytis years, roughly half the yield comes from botrytis-affected fruit. Regardless of the conditions, the yields generate only 25 hl/ha of fragrant golden juice […]

Tokaji Oremus Late Harvest 2019
$68.00Out of Stock
Late harvest usually usually implies a desert wine, which is true in this case. However, similar to a German Spatlese riesling, you could match this with richer savoury dishes too. Fermented slowly, through late Autumn and into winter, stopping naturally when the winery is covered in snow and is too cold to carry on. Star […]

Miles Mossop Kika Late Harvest 2020 (375ml)
$55.00From the Stellenbosch, a vineyard planted in 1988. All the fruit was handpicked, from botrytised grapes only. Exotic and perfumed. Pineapple, passionfruit, ginger, quince, apricot, honeycomb and clove. This is very delicate, it’s richly flavoured, but not succulent or overtly sweet. The texture is of peach skin, and runs the length of the palate. With […]

Clos Larrouyat Jurancon Moelleux Phoenix 2020

With moderate residual sugar (of around 60 g/L), the racy Salharang style displays a terrific […]

Quinta Do Vesuvio Vintage Port 2013
$125.00It’s an intense wine, with floral notes and blackcurrant/cassis and a powerful and attractive aroma resulting from the predominance of Touriga Nacional, combined with Alicante Bouschet. The presence of Touriga Franca and Sousão adds complexity and spices. This Vesuvius is full-bodied, with long, firm tannins and a powerful palate. It will age beautifully for decades. […]

Luscious and piquant, with ripe tropical fruits, cut through with citrus, cherry, honey and a faint dusting of herbs. Refined and detailed, the sweetness […]

Fritz Haag Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Auslese 2021
$88.00A great year for connoisseurs who favour cooler racier Ausleses. Indeed the Juffer and Juffer Sonnenuhr are better suited to savoury dishes over desserts. Bright and clear, with fresh mint, plum, lime, lemon zest and tropical notes. Linear and precise, with great purity and drive. Sleek, with a hint of tempering silk. Needs time. Give […]
