Domaine Tempier Bandol Rose 2023
$90.00Out of Stock
The grapes used to make this rosé come from selected parcels where the vines are on average 20 years old. The yields are low, which explains the intense concentration and distinct expression of each varietal in this wine. The presence of Mourvedre gives this wine its strong character, balance and complexity. An intense fruit and […]

By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2022
$100.00A feature of Farrside is its combination of sweet and savoury spice, flowers and flavoured tobacco. An extremely exotic and singular wine, 2022 sees its uniqueness in the extreme. Fenugreek, cumin, violets, lavender, Turkish tobacco, red fruit compote and blackberry. Prickling with acidity, edgier and more angular than recent vintages, the Farrside’s savoury side on […]

Place of Changing Winds Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir 2022
$135.00The 2021 was one of the greatest pinot noirs to ever come out of Australia but the 2022 is just as good. Slightly more high toned, but the fruit is still a mix of sweet, tangy black and red fruits. Wildly complex, a wine from the northern climes of the Cote d’Or with its truffles, […]

By Farr Chardonnay 2023
$100.00Out of Stock
A great vintage for By Farr Chardonnay, although every vintage seems pretty great! The lusciousness and richness is dialled up, without any loss of freshness. Creamy with cashew, yellow peach, spring jasmine, wood spice and nougat beautifully interwoven. A wine for flavour fetishists, utterly palate coating. Textured, with dry extract – the mid palate, bursting […]

Bannockburn SRH Chardonnay 2023
$100.00“The intensity of flavour here is significant. This is a rocket of a wine. Grapefruit, lime, lemon curd, sweet peach, tinned pear and pineapple characters come wrapped in smoky-sweet cedarwood. Acidity, barley-and-lemon-drenched, is prominent too, in keeping with the power of the fruit. It needs time for certain, but this is quite a wine.” 95+ points, […]

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2020
$55.00Good chianti can be hard to find, often light and raw or over oaked and bigger than a Barossa shiraz. Isole e Olena’s Chianti are none of those things! Crimson in colour with sour cherry and bramble notes. The palate has a subtle, lithe character full of perfumed fruit and is given depth by a […]

By Farr RP Pinot Noir 2022
$165.00Sleek, polished and precise. The ‘22 RP is a beautiful garnet colour in the glass. The nose is small red fruits; cranberry, raspberry, red cherry, wedded to loads of spice. Savoury notes of cornichon, a pretty note of red petals all tie in this wonderfully complex wine. Notes of Cola which sounds weird, but I […]

Standish Wine Co The Standish 2021
$135.00Very deep colour and remarkably vivid considering the presumably long period in wood. There is bright purple towards the rim, fading from the deep blackness of the core, suggesting the inclusion of whole bunches. Intense aromatics, florals, black fruits, sweet and savoury spice. It’s not overly complex at present but the flavours are utterly captivating […]

Mount Horrocks Cordon Cut Riesling 2021 (375ml)
$40.00‘Cordon Cut’ refers to the unusual practice of cutting the canes allowing the grapes to ‘raisin’ naturally on the vine, concentrating flavour and sugar levels. 2020 is another outstanding vintage for Mount Horrocks. The wine is a bright, pale white gold colour with concentrated lemon-lime and vanilla spice. The juicy fruit washes over a vibrant […]

By Farr GC Chardonnay 2023
$165.00If there’s a better chardonnay in Australia I have not tasted it. A wine that is elevated beyond the usual descriptors of style, fad or fashion, the GC is in it’s own right one of the country’s most absorbing and delicious wine, of any variety. Immensely complex with spring Jasmine, Victoria plum, white cherry, grapefruit, […]

Moss Wood Chardonnay 2023
$95.00Fruit aromas are typical Moss Wood – ripe peach, combined with a zesty note similar to cumquat marmalade. These combine with lots of roast almonds and cashews, shortbread biscuits, malt and toasty oak for added complexity. The palate is lively, with fresh acidity giving lift to peaches, limes, grapefruit and caramel; there is full body […]

Thomas Braemore Semillon 2023
$35.00“Braemore is a distinctive vineyard, and this is a distinctive wine. For a semillon, this is uncharacteristically fruity, with feijoa and passionfruit notes wrapped around a Tahitian lime core. The fullness of the palate is captivating, as is the intensity of the flavour. A joyous wine with great character and appeal.” 96 Points – Toni […]

By Farr Shiraz 2021
$95.00Pinot noir and chardonnay are what we would usually associate with the Farr family, but their shiraz is amongst Australia’s best and most singular; a great site expression. Rich, concentrated, seamless and controlled. Extremely complex and with a flavour profile all it’s own. Smoked paprika, red capsicum, curry leaf and fenugreek counter the compote of […]

Standish Wine Co The Relic 2022
$140.00The 2022 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier contains 2% Viognier skins, and this addition presents in this vintage as a core of raspberry and pomegranate.
