Eleni & Edouard Vocoret Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot 2021

Schafer-Frohlich Felseneck Riesling GG 2022

Domaine A Petit A Cabernets 2017
$55.00Out of Stock
St Emillion inspired, but for me, reminiscent of the haunting, autumnal wines of Pessac Leognan.

Pure ripe fruit, supple initially, before the sensual squeeze of chewy, tobacco laced tannins. Very complex interplay of savoury and fruit notes with squid […]

Place of Changing Winds Larderdark Chardonnay 2022
$165.00Out of Stock
Low yields this vintage, which is a bummer, so not much made but great concentration of fruit weight and power the positive outcome. However, just when you think all the spiced stone fruit, citrus, nougat-like lees and cedary oak will add up to a weighty wine, it does an about-face. The acidity kicks in, reining […]
