Scarborough Yellow Label Chardonnay 2021
$29.00The Scarborough Yellow Label Chardonnay is our house white here on Sydney’s northern beaches. Irrespective of vintage, the wine offers consistency and great value. The style has always been on the richer spectrum, but over recent years, more detail and extra freshness has crept in. Quite frankly, the Yellow Label has never been better. Fermented […]

A Rodda Tempranillo 2021
$40.00Classic Tempranillo flavours of cherry cola, sarsaparilla, blue/black fruits and dried flowers. Juicy and vibrant, with a touch of sage. Tight, tight needing time in the glass to unwind. Immensely satisfying wine. Waters Wine Co. Sourced from a high-elevation 580m vineyard; hand picked, 30% whole bunches fermented separately, matured in French oak hogsheads (38% […]

Colome Estate Malbec 2021
$45.00Colome’s Estate Malbec is always an exquisite colour and 2021 is no exception – deep, bright red with a magenta hue. It has aromas of black and red fruits including blackberries, blackcurrants, raspberries and cherries. Hints of spices and well-integrated oak are there too. Fresh and fruity on the palate with crisp acidity and velvety […]

Hochkirch Syrah 2021
$50.00The 2017 was the first Hochkirch Syrah we tasted. Revelatory; unique and detailed, we simply could not believe this was an Australian wine. The 2021 is a little deeper, with slightly darker blackberry fruit, structure, fine detail, gamey notes, freshness and a compelling herbal and spicy lift. Very fine, moreish and refreshing. Waters Wine Co […]

La Battistelle ‘Battistelle’ Soave Classico 2021
$40.00Despite being a single vineyard and not a blend like the Montesei, there are similarities. Wildly complex, with white flowers, honeysuckle, lemon zest, grapefruit, white peach, orchard fruits and mustard seed. Deep and focused with greater amplitude and a peacocks tail of flavour and texture. The palate is at once succulent and light on its […]

Savage Follow the Line Cinsault 2021
$65.00From a Stellenbosch vineyard on decomposed granite. 50% whole-bunch fermentation while maturation lasts 12 months in old 500-litre barrels before a further 10 months in foudre. Heady aromatics with top notes of musk and violets before red and black berries plus pepper. The palate shows great fruit density, fresh acidity and fine tannins. A refined, […]

Walsh & Sons Lola 2021
$28.00One of the best value wine’s we have tasted in a very long time. A blend of Syrah, Cabernet and Grenache, the blend might seem unlikely, but it works tremendously. Plenty to smell here; dried flowers, blackcurrant, plum, raspberry and spice. Ample palate, that coats the mouth in flavour, but without any heaviness or astringency. […]

CRFT Whisson Lake Pinot Noir 2021
$45.00I’m not sure if there’s a better pinot noir vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, but I doubt it. I love the fact that for all the comparisons with Burgundy, the pinots from Whisson Lake are entire unto themselves. Soaring aromatics of rhubarb, spiced plum, cranberry, cherry, geranium, lavender and star anise. Voluptuous curvy palate. Mouth […]

Stargazer Palisander Riesling 2021
$45.00Fermented in a ceramic egg and left on lees for ten months. The nose is a combination of dried chamomile and bath salts, with some yuzu and bergamot citrus elements. A juiciness with fruit tingle acidity dominates the palate, backed by a refreshing crunch and wet chalk, almost quinine-like bitterness tidying up the finish. Winemaker’s […]

Paralian Bowyer Ridge Chardonnay 2021
$49.00From the high altitude vineyard of Bowyer Ridge. Handpicked, whole bunch pressed, with only the free range juice run off in to 500L French oak puncheons, 33% new. Notes of grapefruit, white peach, nectarine, green apple, preserved lemon, wood spice and brioche. Juicy and pulpy fruit as if it’s just been picked. Cream and wood, […]

Giannitessari Soave 2021
$30.00Made from mostly Garganega, with Trebbiano providing aromatic lift and structure. Quite succulent for a Soave, and softer, broader than the Classico. Melon, almonds, frangipani, lemon, apricot and white peach. Very easy to drink, with a perfect tension of zing and gentle texture to match with food, or not, it really doesn’t matter. Waters Wine Co […]

Olifantsberg Grenache Noir 2021
$40.00Wine lovers familiar with ethereal and Pinot Noir-like styles of Grenache will love this. Beautiful aromas of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, dried herbs and Asian spices. Deep, plush and soft. There’s abundant flavour, but that Olifantsberg gentleness. Flavours of red and briary fruits, and spice that rides along the slick and lacy tannins. Waters Wine Co […]

Syrahmi Demi Shiraz 2021
$32.00Beautiful wine. Plum pie and roasted nuts, trails of woodsmoke and undergrowth, leather and a whisper of truffle. It’s complex, fluid, medium in weight and confident in the way it traverses its complex terrain. It will mature well but, there’s really no need to wait as it’s joyous right now. 95 Points – Campbell Mattinson, […]

Domaine de Ferrand Vieilles Vignes 2021
$45.0090% Grenache with Syrah/Mourvèdre/Cinsault. Planted in the 1920’s The 2021 Côtes Du Rhône ‘Vieilles Vignes’ which is from very old vines (important with Grenache) literally across the border of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP is by far the best example of this wine that I have seen, like his CNDP above. This is from a […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]
