Farr Rising Pinot Noir 2023
$60.00‘In my opinion….I often wonder when the concept of “Farr Rising” will be considered “risen” …. Ripe, generous, and round in the mouth. This offers weight and intensity you rarely see from this grape. Spice, dark spice, not herbal at all and black ripe fruits all on full show. It’s a powerhouse and entirely seductive, in […]

Chacra Trienta Y Dos Pinot Noir 2022
$235.00Out of Stock
“A beautiful, nervy pinot here. Such purity and depth on the nose for a pinot that barely has any extraction. Tile, flowers, minerals and racy crushed raspberries and wild strawberries. Tense and pretty on the palate with incredible vibrancy and verve. Naturally structured. Long and really refined. So subtle, yet it lasts almost two minutes. […]

A Rodda Triangle Block Chardonnay 2021
$90.00From a tiny patch of vines within Smith’s vineyard. More new wood here and longer time in barrel, so it’s essentially classically styled and not a ‘contemporary’ expression as the other chardonnays are. Beautifully pure aromas of spring jasmine, honeycomb, mandarin, yellow and white peach and very fine oak. Very deep, brooding, fleshy, a masterclass […]
