Mid-week wines

The grapes are hand picked with great care and chilled overnight in a cold room. The following day they are whole-bunch pressed to a settling tank. These vineyards were picked over a period of 12 days and each day fresh juice was added to the already fermenting tanks. This extended the alcoholic fermentation by about […]

Bannockburn Riesling 2024

“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 […]

Fighting Gully Road Rose 2024

Mark Walpole has an international reputation as one of Australia’s great viticulturists, particularly with Italian varieties, but the quality of Fighting Gully Road is as much a testament to his winemaking as his vineyards. The 2024 Rosé shouldn’t be this exciting, but it is. Serious, textured and utterly delicious, with creamy red fruits, apricot, savoury […]

Walsh & Sons Hamish Chardonnay 2022

$50.00

Lemon hued, with heady aromas of white nectarine and Feijoa. A lime creaminess. The seaside vibes continue on the palate, where the racy acidity harmonizes with a slippery texture and ocean spray saltiness. Winemaker’s Notes Shop ALL Australian Chardonnay

CRFT K1 Gruner Veltliner 2025

It’s odd how different CRFT’s three wines are, all classic Gruner Veltliners, yet all entirely different. The K1 is cooler, more discreet, sleek and linear in shape, without the ample bosom of the Longview. Reticent aromatics take a little coaxing, before revealing white peach, melon, mint and apricot. Spicy, salty palate, very fine and sleek, […]

Castle Rock Estate Porongurup Riesling 2024

$29.00

Always from the first press juice, as always this is terrific. 2024 is a very warm vintage of low yields and deep concentration, but somehow Castle Rock manage a stunning mineral, energetic and pure riesling, regardless of conditions. White flowers, citrus blossom/fruit/zest, with oyster shell, thyme and pink lady apple. Juicy and easy drinking, it’s […]

Poggio Al Sole Chianti Classico 2022

$45.00

Poggio Al Sole’s vineyards are set high and the site is relatively cool by Tuscan standards. Super fresh and vibrant, with pure, sweet red and black fruits, crushed flowers, bay leaf, black olive and tobacco. Lovely tension between savoury and sweet, and the volumes of fruit feel effortless. A supremely balanced wine of great, but […]

Stargazer Riesling 2026

“Very pale yellow in colour with green hints, the nose is floral and lifted, showing waxy white flowers; gardenias and jasmine. In the background pink grapefruit and kaffir lime spiciness. The acid provides structure, drive and backbone to the palate, while the tangy exit is balanced with a judicious touch of residual sugar.” Samantha Connew […]

Frederick Stevenson Montepulciano 2024

Utterly captivating, with all the heightened sensuality of Montepulciano. Layers of blackberry, plum, blackcurrant and mulberry unfold into notes of licorice, dried herbs and mint. Curved and supple, with fine, bow-like tannins giving shape and line. Plush yet controlled, the focused acidity drives the wine long through the finish. Abundant, succulent, and seriously compelling. Bright […]

Rieslingfreak No 3 Clare Valley Riesling 2026

$25.00

Seductive and bright – Meyer lemon, tangelo and ripe nectarine lead. The palate is generous yet finely tuned, with citrus at its core, layered with melon and tropical fruit. A tight line of acidity keeps everything in check, driving a long, zesty finish. The No.3 comes mostly from the family vineyard in White Hutt, […]

Trutta Pinot Gris 2025

Fermented on skins, lasting about 10 days. So the wine is skinsy, but only to a point, with full malolactic fermentation lending a certain richness and flesh, tensioned by minerals, savoury spice, texture and salinity. Very complex fruit profile; grapefruit, guava, and blood orange zest mingle together. Delicious. Norris at Waters Wine Co

Rob Hall Chardonnay 2025

A lively green gold. An attractive bouquet of white peach, pear and a little ginger spice. While the light- to medium-bodied palate is still quite tightly wound, this will begin to open up over the next six months and will still be looking good three to five years from now. 93 Points – Philip Rich, […]

Bondar Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2025

Intense 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 […]

Gentle Folk Chardonnay 2024

Tillie J Langhorne Creek Grenache 2024

Grenache has to be one of the most diverse grapes planted in Australia, reflected by the plethora of styles being crafted. Tillie J’s is delightful. Described to us as a Beaujolais style, I thought it somewhere between a Brouilly and Southern Rhone red. Compote of black, bramble and red fruits, with cut flowers, licorice, five […]

Corymbia Rocket’s Vineyard Tempranillo Malbec 2023

“Love this drink as it’s savoury, spicy, intriguing, delicious and more. A perfect counterplay between acidity and tannins, fruit and savoury inputs, the reductive winemaking creating part of the latter. Dark cherries and kirsch, raspberries all dusted with brown spice, nori, slatey with a distinct ferrous note. The mid-weighted palate is juicy and tangy yet […]

Gentle Folk Pinot Noir 2024

$45.00

“While not straying from its usual form, this release is slightly more savoury and earthy – an honest blend of fruit from all the estate vineyards, plus a little addition from Uraidla. Bramble and moss, orange rind and dried fig – this is fruit broken open to the air of a cold autumnal dusk. It’s […]

Such gorgeous aromatics of blackcurrant, lavender, violets, plum and cherry liqueur. Rich, but in no way heavy, fleshy and lithe.
