Thistledown Thorny Devil Grenache 2023
$35.00From several districts, off old, dry-grown bush vines. The ferments are all nuanced, but all are wild, and there is always some whole bunch; maturation for eight months in old French oak. Pale in hue and pretty in fragrance, such is the vintage. Flavours skip through cranberry, wild raspberry, pomegranate and rose, with white pepper […]

Tyrrell’s Hunter Valley Chardonnay 2022
$25.00Tyrrell’s Hunter Valley Chardonnay has a lovely mix of citrus, white stone fruit and notes of star jasmine, with some oak spice on the nose. Medium bodied palate with great fruit intensity and texture. 2021 is a terrific vintage in the Hunter and this is surely the best value Chardonnay in the Valley! Waters Wine […]

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. […]

Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2022
$38.00Out of Stock
Usually my favourite wine in the range and one for those in any doubt about the efficacy of blends. A 60/40 blend of Grenache and Shiraz. Essentially a barrel selection of the juiciest and brightest fruit for early drinking, but this will nevertheless cruise through 10 years and plenty more. Expressive, so McLaren Vale with […]

Bannockburn Riesling 2024
$30.00“Made mainly from 0.4ha of vines planted in 1976. A pure and quite lovely nose featuring scents of Meyer lemon, makrut lime leaves and floral notes. The palate is linear, chalky and long with the fruit and acidity in perfect harmony. I’m thinking san choy bow would be a great match. I’m guessing it’ll age […]

Mulline Chardonnay 2024
$33.00“A blend of fruit from the Moorabool Valley, Barrabool Hills and Bellarine Peninsulas in Geelong. The boys at Mulline have nailed this new and well-priced addition to the range. Gently saline, with aromas of perfectly ripened white peaches. The palate is simultaneously fleshy, structured and long. A wine to buy by the case and enjoy […]

Kleine Zalze Cellar Selection Chenin Blanc 2022
$25.00The grapes for this wine come predominantly from selected vineyards in Stellenbosch, Paarl and Swartland. Owing to the nature of bush vines, careful canopy management was exercised so that no bunches were exposed to excessive sunlight and that an even ripening of the grapes was ensured. The 2022 harvest started very late due to covld […]

Domaine de Ferrand Cotes du Rhone La Ferrande 2021
$40.00Out of Stock
Philippe Bravay’s domaine is tiny (only 5.5 hectares) and the vines are situated around the outskirts of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP, in the lieu-dit Ferrand. His neighbours in this Northern fringe near Orange are Charvin, Marcoux and Beaucastel. La Ferrande is 100% Syrah, a grape that Philippe is intrigued by and so decided to […]

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$70.00Bright ruby. Opens with a core of pure blackcurrant cabernet fruit together with scents of cedar, violets and a very gentle leafiness. The palate is youthful, refined and persistent and the tannins are silky yet long chained. It all adds up to a wine that, while good now, will age effortlessly over the next eight […]

$32.00An unusual blend for an entry level South African red, 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Cinsault 11% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc, all from Stellenbosch. And it works brilliantly. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, granite, blueberry, strawberry and fresh compost. Rich and succulent, round in shape and tightened by tangy fruits and powdery tannins. […]

Mulline Pinot Noir 2024
$33.00“A four-vineyard, six-clone blend; 20% wholes bunches, 15% new oak. A bright crimson red. A lifted bouquet redolent of summer red fruits, poached rhubarb, rose bush and white pepper. The energetic palate is light to medium bodied with the wine’s fine-grained tannins and bright acidity making for a delicious and refreshing mouthful. Good, nay, great […]

Rob Hall Cabernets 2023
$30.00Rob knows a thing or two about cabernet, most likely, I’m guessing, from his days at Mount Mary. A brilliant, crimson purple, this fragrant wine leaps out of the glass with its bouquet of cassis, liqueur cherries, cedar, violets and just a soupçon of fresh tomato leaf. Medium bodied, this juicy-fruited wine is impeccably balanced […]

Spinifex Syrah 2022

Full bodied with a calm, graphite and sage-flecked stony flow on the palate. Jeez, it’s easy to drink, with a […]

Dr Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 2021

The Sundial vineyard in Wehlen is almost nothing but broken shards of blue Devonian slate. 100% Riesling from vines over 60 years old on average. Cool fermentation in a combination of stainless steel tanks and Fuder barrels, half fermented with natural yeasts, half with cultured yeasts.

Mulline Pinot Gris 2024
$33.00“100% pinot gris from Modewarre on the Surf Coast in Geelong. A bright salmon copper. The nose features an attractive amalgam of cranberries, freshly cut pear, Mediterranean herbs and a little honeydew melon. Just as good on the mouth-filling, savoury, pithy and long palate. Top stuff.” 95 Points – Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion) […]

Bondar Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2023
$38.00Intense aromatics of grapefruit, fresh and preserved lime, lemon, cashew, cream, wood, citrus blossom and spice. Rich and medium bodied, a wine of energy angles and cut. There’s a little more mid palate flesh than in previous iterations, and I’m not sure if it marks a shift in style or is a reflection of the […]

Thomas Synergy Shiraz 2021
$25.00The selection of the wines going under this label is achieved by blending a large number of barrels that didn’t have the quality needed for Single Vineyard status. It’s a most attractive wine in the lighter end of medium bodied. It won the Trophy for Best One-Year-Old Shiraz at the Hunter Valley Wine Show ’22, […]

Vanguardist Rose 2024
$38.00“From the Rende vineyard, the heartbeat of the Vanguardist wines, in Blewitt Springs. Michael Corbett takes all his wines very seriously, and that’s no different for rosé, with his estimate predicating a decade’s cellar life. It’s certainly got the flavour depth, texture and a smartly pithy draw of grip to support the notion. An assertive […]

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023
$40.00A bright crimson red. After a few good few swirls, aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries, wild herbs and some crushed violets soon emerge. The palate, though, doesn’t need much coaxing, and this silken, sappy wine has excellent depth and persistence. Will be even better six to 12 months from now. 96 points – Philip […]

Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle 2020
$28.00Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle is in the commune of Macau, next to its more famous neighbor, Margaux. Like Margaux, the soils and environs are similar, as is the varietal mix, in this case 80% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. The wine saw no oak whatsoever, and it’s rich, with delectable freshness and […]

Tripe Iscariot Karridale Chenin Blanc 2023
$30.00The previous vintage put this and its Wilyabrup sibling under the Absolution range, but that name’s been removed from both now – more about the subregion and variety perhaps. Trying the two site-specific chenin blancs side by side offers great insights: this more textural, a bit waxy with pear skins and baked apple, a little […]

Frederick Stevenson Grenache 2022
$36.00Awesome Barossa grenache, so different from almost all other iterations. Compote of sweet red fruits, orange peel, compost, alpine herbs and sweet spice. Curvy, full of energy and with a sense of lightness despite the rich flavours. Firm, squeezed tannins, savoury, providing lovely tension to the sweet fruit. Waters Wine Co 94 Points – […]

Gilbert Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Weight and texture, you really feel like you’re getting something substantial and despite having all the hallmarks of the varietal, utterly delicious for those who preference something else.

Mercer Vermentino 2024
$22.00I think we are going to see more and more Italian varietals in the Hunter Valley, and if you drink this, you can see why. Aromatic and floral, with the Hunter’s signature roundness and mid palate flesh. White peach, lime, fennel and savoury spice, with a sort of pithy, citrus texture. It’s pretty straight forward, […]

Iggy Adelaide Hills Rebula 2023
$45.00Ribolla Giolla in Italian, and certainly made as a homage to Friuli. From a cooler part of the Adelaide Hills, a triangle of 300 vines at the bottom of a slope otherwise planted to Syrah. 40% on skins for 2 months, yet there is nothing orange or skinsy about this. Generous and succulent with yellow […]
