Traviarti Black Springs Nebbiolo 2023
$60.00Traviarti’s Simon Grant helped establish this vineyard, which will no doubt be a source of great Nebbiolo. Considering how young the vines are, this is remarkable.

Eleni & Edouard Vocoret Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot 2021
$115.00“The 2021 Chablis Le Bas de Chapelot comes across quite closed on the nose, though Edouard Vocoret mentioned how this cuvée has closed down at the time of my visit. The palate is complex with touches of apricot and white peach, plenty of minerals and flint, focused with a long tail on the finish. This […]

Cobaw Ridge Chardonnay 2024
$100.00Textural and pithy, with lovely depth of flavor yet still carrying a fine touch of reduction. Aromas of lemon peel, stone fruit, orange blossoms, flint, granite and grapefruit. The palate is mid-weighted, with a bright line of acidity and a textural mouthfeel cut through by high-tension freshness. A delicious chardonnay with real purity, grown on […]

Traviarti Nebbiolo 2023
$75.00Understated aromatics, but nothing a good swirl and cupping of glass won’t sort out! Black/hedge and red fruits, ruby grapefruit, a little reductive, smokey, alpine herbs, licorice and pink peppercorns. A totally different beast to the Black Springs; deeper and more brooding.

By Farr Chardonnay 2025
$110.00Yummm. By Farr is in the top tier of Australian chardonnay, and there are certainly none better. Last year’s GC Chardonnay, the 2024 was my pick all year, so ravishing and tensioned it was. And yet the estate 2025 is a totally different beast. During our recent discussion, Nick Farr went on to point out […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2023
$69.00There’s a little more aromatic concentration this year methinks. Still resplendent in its ripe white peach and citrus fruits, flecked with spiced oatmeal, clotted cream, meadow wildflowers, grilled cashews, nougat, distant struck flint and nicely judged vanillin oak. Stony and nicely focused on the palate with a briny sapidity and impressive tension between fruit and […]

Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Grenache 2024
$75.00Trott vineyard, ’52-planted bush vines, about 60% whole bunch with a very gentle extraction, matured in seasoned Austrian oak, ceramic and sandstone amphora. The Trott vineyard often throws darker fruits and moodier florals, and they’re here, yet the core remains red fruited and the structure is agreeably tense, a conduit for the twin charge of […]

Wild Duck Creek Ducks and Drakes Cabernets 2022
$47.00Impenetrable yet vivid colour. Gorgeous nose of blackcurrant, kirsch, lavender and a touch of tobacco. Full bodied, with glossy blue and black fruits, cigar box, coal dust, chocolate and cherries.

Decades Pinot Noir 2023
$78.00Is there more promise for Tasmanian chardonnay or pinot noir, or in a sense, are they equal? Considering the Decades chardonnay and pinot noir are off the same vineyard and the wines are as they are, I find i cannot apportion preference. Fragrant; it’s so beautifully alive with lavender and violets, clove, smoked paprika and […]

Reed Frequency Botrytis Riesling 2025
$90.00White nectarine and crystallised honey, followed by the smell of a Hawaiian botanical garden on a hot day, think hundreds of ginger flowers filling the humid air with their perfume. There’s a depth to this wine that pulls you in and almost warms you with its golden hues; colour you can taste. At first sip, the […]

Beeslaar Pinotage 2023
$100.00From a 2.5 ha vineyard, dry grown, shale soils and old bush vines. Open top fermentation, followed by 20 months in French oak barriques. Very simple stuff, but the wine is far from simple.

Holyman Pinot Noir 2024
$60.00Despite the light colour, pouring the wine releases an immense bouquet. I know we’re in for a treat! Expressive and vibrant with plum, cherry, raspberry, blackberry and five spice.

By Farr Shiraz 2024
$110.00This is always so, so good. It’s complex which I love, as so often this grape is one dimensional. There is more than a note of ripe fruit, there is graphite, black olives, it feels silky yet there is a note of ocean spray, a faint yet lovely salinity, then follows the spice. There is […]

Sadie Family Swartland Skerpioen 2024
