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 […]

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. Termed Késói Szüretelésú in Hungarian, there was no berry-by-berry selection here as there is for Aszú wines. Instead, selected bunches of botrytised clusters and part-clusters were […]

Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 6 Puttonyos 2016 (500ml)
$200.00This golden-colored Tokaji has aromas of raw honey, apricot blossom, pear and baked apple tart. Silky smooth upon entry, it offers flavors of baked apples, wildflower honey, canned pears and apricot.

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 […]

Tokaji Oremus Mandolas Dry Furmint 2019
$55.00Aged in small traditional 136 litre barrels and picked golden ripe, I cannot think of any wine that is full bodied yet so abundantly fresh, tangy and full zingy drive. Citrus and stone fruits, cherry, plum, marzipan, beeswax, cinnamon, creamy apple and salty minerality. Very broad, yet precise flavours and a terrific match for roast […]

Mullineux Olerasay 3 Straw Wine (375ml)
$250.00Picked with yields around 4 tons per hectare with a balling of 22 at harvest, the concentration and intensity of this wine is clear to see from the word go. The aromatics on opening initially were slightly more boldly fruity with youthful nuances of peaches and dried apricot, marmalade, passion fruit and honey. But with […]

Disznoko Tokaji Aszu 5 Puttonyos 2013 (500ml)
$125.00A late ripening year with an ‘Aszú miracle’ appearing from mid-September onwards, giving beautifully concentrated Aszú berries with intense botrytis but also great acidity. It’s still a real baby, showing creamy vanilla aromas with ripe pear, acacia and peach. It’s luscious and silky with lovely purity and superb intensity of quince and honey, and fine […]
