Bondar Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2022
$38.00All the bells and whistles applied with aplomb, from a smoky, creamed cashew nose of barrel fermentation to a generous mid-palate flecked with crystalline mineral shards, pungent miso and candied cumquat. White peach and nectarine accents teem long across a juicy trail, just fresh enough. Light years away from any thin, linear expression. A chardonnay […]

La Battistelle ‘Roccolo del Durlo’ Soave Classico 2021
$45.00Out of Stock
Dense and rich with yellow peach, paw paw, apricot, cherry, kiwifruit, lime and gardenia. Old vines and low yields on a steep gradient lend themselves to contraction, structure and individuality. The palate is unctuous, and it’s hard not to imagine taking a bite out of a perfectly ripe peach, or cherry or taking a spoon […]

Gunderloch Jean Baptiste Riesling Kabinett 2021
$38.00Super-bright and vibrant, but with a wide spectrum of aromas from green apple to papaya and pomegranate. The freshness takes your breath away!

Pewsey Vale Vineyard Riesling 2023
$25.00One of Australia’s most consistent and best value whites. A great vintage for this wine too. Expressive and concentrated. Lemon, lime, white peach, start jasmine and sculptural acidity.

Bindi Pyrette Heathcote Shiraz 2021
$40.00Sourced from the Harcourt vineyard, ala Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Shiraz 2021, made quite differently. The aromatics are totally Heathcote; sweet earth, campfire, iodine, Serrano, sweet dark fruits and violets. Medium to full bodied, it’s round and sensual, cut through with rich, gourmand tannins. Such a contrast with the POCW, proving if t were […]

Granite Hills 1971 Block Riesling 2022
$35.00Intense aromatics of passionfruit, lime, blackcurrant, cherry, stone fruits, honey, mustard and savoury spice. Dense, concentrated, in fact, perhaps the deepest core of power that I have tasted in an Australian Riesling. Expansive palate, direct in flavour, precise scaffold, chalky texture and that width! There is so much hidden here, so much pleasure to come. […]

Greenock Creek Moppa Grenache 2021
$30.00From an east facing vineyard in the upper reaches of Moppa. The aspect is key here, as the vineyard doesn’t get baked by the afternoon sun, and is correspondingly fine. Classic grenache aromatics in the Barossan vernacular. Jubey red fruits, rosewater, Middle Eastern spices and hints of wood. Medium bodied, yes it’s hard to believe, […]

Place of Changing Winds Syrah No. 2 2021
$40.00Animated and floral, with whole bunches evident, but not defining. Compote of brambly fruit, lavender, mulberry, blackberry, rhubarb, cinnamon and clove. Cool and sleek, super bright, fresh and intense, the longer elevage seemingly to heighten the elements rather than dull them.

Bubb and Pooley Riesling 2022
$45.00Made in a feinherb style, well almost, as the sugar is barely noticeable due to the very high level of acidity. Lemons, limes, grapefruit green apple and salt. The citrus is of fresh juice, preserve and zest and as such, is quite linear in style. Mouthwatering and bracing, it will be fascinating to see how […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$35.00Such an excellent value wine and classic Yarra Valley. Needed some time to open up, perhaps I tried it too cold? High tones all the way, with lime, lemon, pink grapefruit, gardenia and mandarin blossom. Mouthwatering and very tense, there’s a dimension of extract that tensions the bright acidity and tangy fruit. Very focused and […]

Gentle Folk Village Chardonnay 2022
$45.00A blend of Piccadilly, Ashton and Scary Gully vineyards, though quite different from the single vineyard wines. It’s lighter for a start, at least in body, but it’s packed with lemon, lime preserve, grapefruit, gin herbs and pithy extract. There’s a saline, oyster shell quality and a touch of lanolin, a strange weave of elements […]

The 2022 harvest started very late due to covld […]
