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 […]

Domaine Tempier Lulu and Lucien Bandol Rouge 2021
$100.00“Much like 1981 or 2013, 2021 has turned out a beautiful and classically styled Bandol rouge, full of finesse and grip. Stony and dark-fruited, this is one to dig into now—after a brief decant—alongside slow-roasted lamb, venison, or a wild mushroom ragoût.” Tom Wolf – Kermit Lynch At Domaine Tempier, grapes from different vineyards […]

Domenica Nebbiolo 2021
$75.00Medium to deep cherry red colour. Dark cherry, blue gravel and crushed rose petal aromas lift out from the glass. Dark fruits on entry, and the palate builds weight and intensity as it rolls along. Dark minerality, anise spices and woody herbal notes all add layers of complexity and character. Tannins are prodigious as the […]

Scions of Sinai Swangsang Syrah 2021
$75.00Syrah grown on decomposed granite, which lowers the wines overall pH, heightens freshness and accentuates perfume. Incredible Syrah here, with a taste not dissimilar to Eden valley Shiraz, but with a coolness and silken drive tensioned with such an incredible abundance of flavour. Baking spices, blueberry, violet, bitumen, dark cherry, cranberry and sweet raspberry. Pure […]

Alheit Vineyards Hereafter Here Chenin Blanc 2021
$65.00First produced in 2020, this Chenin Blanc hails from dry farmed, bush vine vineyards that are less than 20 years’ old, blending components from Stellenbosch and the Swartland. Savoury and refreshing, with mouth-watering acidity, rock salt and lemongrass flavours and the zip that’s typical of the 2021 whites. 94 points – TIm Atkin MW […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese 2021
$145.00“The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese offers a superbly complex and pure fresh nose of candied grapefruit, vineyard peach, verbena, almond cream, smoke, and a hint of cassis.

By Farr Shiraz 2021
$100.00Pinot 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 […]

Antoine Jobard Bourgogne Blanc 2021
$145.00“Hmm – now that’s nice – a very Meursault nose. Direct, a little muscle, plenty of structure but beautifully mouthwatering too. Steely finishing even – that’s simply excellent! Lovely citrus bitters vibrating in the finish…” Bill Nanson Burgundy Report “Pale colour with a pretty bouquet of no particular emphasis. Then much more depth than expected, […]

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2021
$80.00The 2021 Hemelrand Vine Garden is one of Chris Alheit’s biggest successes and encapsulates everything great about his wine. Initially quite neutral, it reveals wondrous sea spray, honeysuckle, Provençal herbs and hints of powdered chalk on the nose. The palate has exquisite balance, very cohesive and intense, yet the acidity keeps this so fresh with […]

Fabien Coche Meursault ‘Les Chevalieres’ 2021
$250.00The lieux-dit of Les Chevalieres is situated above the village of Meursault. Above is the lieux-dit of Les Luchets, which produces a higher toned, more tensile wine. I can’t help but think that this is ideally situated, in a sense, mid-slope, the perfect aspect in Burgundy. Impossibly complex, with notes of white flowers, lemon, lime, […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 2021
$160.00“The 2021 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese is concentrated and fresh on the aromatic nose that is immediately present but also still reductive. Ripe stone fruit aromas intermingle with notes of crushed stones on a deep foundation of aromas from the soil and the fruit of old vines. On the palate, the 2021 is very fine but […]

JJ Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 2021
$135.00“The 2021er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese is really restrained and almost non-saying at this early stage, but already hints at the complexity to come as it reveals after a few minutes very delicate notes of whipped almond cream, lily flowers, vineyard peach, minty herbs, smoke, candied grapefruit, and quite some fine spices. The wine proves […]

JJ Prum Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 2021

Alex Moreau Bourgogne Blanc 2021
$100.00Fine-boned and precise, the 2021 Bourgogne Chardonnay offers up aromas of pear, citrus oil, white flower and clear honey, followed by a medium-bodied, vibrant palate. This year, it will see longer maturation on the lees, which will likely deliver more texture. 87-88 Points – William Kelley, The Wine Advocate Cool and airy aromas feature those […]

Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots 2021
$275.00“More open higher tones here – pretty floral accents too – that’s fine! Lots of energy and flavour dimension. The flavour is highly accessible and modestly cushioned. Long and interesting, indeed absorbing wine. I love!” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report A very high, cold, rocky, late-ripening site, Montrevenots is at the top of the hill on the Pommard […]

Antoine Jobard Pommard 2021
$275.00“Also a nose of depth and guarded darker fruit. Broad, mouth-filling wine – a fine, grainless tannin as a support for everything else. Modest bitters add extra complexity to these finishing flavours. Another wine to wait for, but perhaps becoming accessible a little before the previous Beaune.” Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report “The 2021 Pommard Village has […]

Evening Land Seven Springs Chardonnay 2021
$115.00Aged in used Austrian barrels, perfectly suited to the opulent, yet chiseled and structured Chardonnay. Immensely complex aromatics with notes of nougat, lemon zest, lime, kaffir lime, frangipanni, sage and fleshy orchard fruits. Very tight and coiled, some textural grip, tarragon, clove and saltbush that coats and grips the palate. Long finish, seemingly dreamy in […]
