Stanton & Killeen Vintage Fortified 2007
$85.00Australia’s most convincing Vintage Port style wine. Utterly consistent and repeated tastings of back vintages have left me in no doubt. Will they go 50, or a hundred, or more? The last vintage from Chris Killeen and one that will live on for at least another couple of decades. Rich, deep and concentrated, showing great […]

Gilbert Museum Release Riesling 2016
$55.00From a single vineyard sitting at 845m elevation on a northeast aspect. Makrut lime leaves, lemon-lime cordial, candied green apple and dried hay. A slip ‘n slide of succulent acidity followed by sunflower kernel, silver needle tea and a woven fabric of texture. This is only beginning to hit its stride with baked clay minerality, […]

Joshua Cooper Shay’s Flat Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

David Moreau Santenay Rouge 1er Cru Beaurepaire 2021
$145.00The 2021 Santenay Beaurepaire 1er Cru has a clean and pure bouquet with precise and pure red cherry and strawberry fruit, wilted rose petal and light violet aromas percolating through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, a little foursquare in style. A small amount of chalkiness towards the finish is detailed, though […]

Gerard Julien & Fils Nuits-St-Georges 1er Cru Les Bousselots 2020
$265.00Les Bousselots is a mid slope vineyard, with clay rich soils. As you would expect the wines are full bodied, dark coloured and with deep soft tannins. Julien’s rendition is one of the blackest from any producer of this vineyard I can remember tasting. Spiced plum, hedge fruits, black cherry and cassis, flecked with sweet […]

Dagueneau Jurancon Les Jardins de Babylone Moelleux 2016
$385.00The 2016 is equally stunning but far more youthful and therefore, more delicate and discrete than the 2015. It’s a vibrantly racy wine with mixed citrus and fresh-cut apple notes and a juicy, vibrant close. Both vintages are Germanic in style, less so dessert wines but more for drinking throughout the meal (the way you […]

David Franz Old Redemption XO Tawny NV
$75.00An XO tawny port; a blend of shiraz, dolcetto, grenache and pedro ximénez with a base blend that was started in 1947. Deep amber with captivating aromas of dried fruits, Christmas cake, toffee apple, brandy snaps, rancio, mahogany, polished leather and candied citrus rinds. Ditto on the palate, which is impossibly layered, complex and long […]

Toro Albala Don PX 2023 (375ml)
$65.00Deep amber with coppery highlights. Raisins and figs lead, layered with honey and dried date, lifted by a touch of muscatel and the racy acidity that keeps this from ever turning cloying. Unctuous and concentrated, with a savoury, vegetal edge on the finish—the house signature of balance over sheer weight. 100% hand-harvested Pedro Ximénez, sun-dried […]

Bannockburn Serre Pinot Noir 2025
$109.00Serré, planted in 1984 and certified organic in 2021, is the oldest high-density vineyard planting in Australia. The vineyard was inspired by Stuart Hooper’s love of the great wines of Burgundy, and its tight spacing, low trellising and low-yielding vines combined with the uniqueness of our place in the world, contribute to produce wines of […]

Joshua Cooper Dash Farms Chardonnay 2025
$75.00Planted in 1999, Dash Farms sits perched at over 450m ASL on the Southern granitic slopes of Mt. Alexander (Leanganook) looking back towards Mt Macedon and the Macedon Ranges. Like Ray-Monde, it sits just outside the Macedon Ranges GI. Ripening for Chardonnay occurs around a week earlier than my family’s vineyard Cobaw Ridge. These lean granite […]

Daosa Late Disgorged Blanc de Blancs 2017
$175.00Sparkling or Champagne that spends this amount of time on lees, 90 months in this case, can have too much savouriness and leesy-ness, without enough freshness or fruit. However, the Daosa Blanc de Blancs is gorgeous, mineral, generous and intense, without any loss of freshness or fruit profile. It’s a remarkable feat in sparkling winemaking […]

Manuele Priolo Roero Anime Nere Vigneto Eroico 2023
$195.00This is Nebbiolo, but not as you know it. From Manuele Priolo’s extraordinary, near-vertical Anime Nere vineyard in Monteu Roero, this is a wine of remarkable delicacy, perfume and energy. Pale and luminous in colour, it opens with an intoxicating perfume of wild strawberry, raspberry, sour cherry and rose petals, with hints of blood orange […]

Serrat Grenache Blanc 2024
$45.00Only a single 500L old French oak barrel’s worth of wine, and as far as I’m aware the only grenache blanc from the Yarra Valley. Beautifully composed with citrus blossom, savoury spice, Victoria plum, matchstick, green melon and citrus marmalade. Plump, pure, fleshy and a lovely tension between savoury and fruitiness. Rich in flavour, but […]

Serrat Autres Terres Nenagh Park Chardonnay 2024
$50.00From vines planted at Nenagh Park in 1989. The site is cool, and so’s the wine, but there is an uncommon succulence, no doubt from the wonderful Penfolds 58 clone. Aromas of citrus blossom, savoury spice, a sort of cardamon reduction, lime zest, grapefruit and white peach. Intense, coiled and focused, the most “contemporary” of […]

Lemon, grapefruit, hay and almond on the nose while the palate shows stupendous concentration, fresh acidity and a decidedly bitter finish – great intensity of flavour. A dramatic wine, full of character. 97 […]

Alex Moreau Chassagne Montrachet 2023
$270.00“A completely different aromatic profile presents notes of petrol, rosemary oil and white-fleshed fruit scents. There is notably better density and volume to the attractively textured medium weight flavors that display fine length on the balanced finale. This does need to develop better depth but that should reasonably occur if given a chance. Worth checking […]

Laurent Tribut Chablis Beauroy 1er Cru 2023
$200.00The pale lemon-yellow hue belies the potent aromas of white peach, green apple, oyster shell and white blossoms packed into this delicious wine. The texture is creamy and deep, yet the vibrant acidity draws it to an impressively long finish. The grapes are from 0.65ha spread over several parcels on different soil types, bringing diversity […]

Laurent Tribut Chablis 2023
$130.00This vibrant and dynamic village Chablis explodes with aromas of lime peel, passion fruit and greengage plums adorned with acacia blossoms and chalky minerality. The feel is racy and bright, but there is substance here as well. This wine will be crisp and approachable on release but will profit from mid-term ageing in the cellar. […]

You’ll find few Bouzerons better than this. 91 points – Neal […]

So much complexity and salty brightness. A blend of 12 varieties, co-planted in 2019. The first bottling of this wine from a windy site.” 96 […]

The outcrops of rocks found in this area date back much further than those in the rest of the Bandol winegrowing area. The effect of one tectonic plate sinking beneath another (subduction) can actually be observed […]

$305.00This has long been one of Olivier Lamy’s finest reds. It comes from just under a hectare of vines on the lower slope of Derrière chez Edouard, where the soils have more clay and have historically been planted to Pinot. In fact, the vines here are over 50 years old and give very small, ripe and intensely […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin Vieilles Vignes 2022
$280.00‘Here the wood is more apparent with a hint of menthol though neither are so much to impinge on the attractiveness of the ripe black cherry, smoked game and overtly floral-scented nose. The rich, generous and more concentrated medium weight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the serious, youthfully austere and built-to-age finale. This […]

Sylvie Esmonin Gevrey Chambertin 2022

The supple and succulent yet well-detailed medium weight flavors possess a lovely mouthfeel before concluding in a youthfully austere finish where a touch of wood arises. This is an excellent Gevrey villages and worth […]
