Swinney Grenache 2020
$40.00Unbelievable complexity. Floral, rose petals five spice, Morello cherry, chocolate, pastille blackcurrant and thyme. Pure and silky palate, and like the nose, terrific delineation of flavours. Textually caressing, the tannins move from chalk to velvet, gripping your attention. Assertive and refined, impossibly beautiful and a masterclass of the variety. Good luck finding a better Grenache […]

Vanguardist MVG Grenache 2020

A hidden gem of sorts, the high ‘Silver Sands’ vineyard was planted by Robert Rende and his father Michael some 50+ years ago. The summer of 2020 was the third hot and dry vintage in succession. Small patches of rain during […]

Place of Changing Winds Heathcote Syrah 2020
$45.00Alongside the Marsanne, this is one of our favourite releases this year. The 2020 Place of Changing Winds Syrah is a game changer as far as we’re concerned. Heathcote is full bodied, massive even, with a fleshy succulence, ferrous hints and an iron grip. Until we tasted this. Sure there’s a deeper, darker intensity than […]

Top 100 Wines of 2021 – Matured for 12 months in French oak (40% new). The bouquet is a fragrant mix of cassis and cedar/cigar box, the intense palate with a tapestry of flavours of cassis and savoury bay leaf. Yet it has the lightest of tannin touches encouraging a quick return to the glass. […]

JC’s Own Rockit 2018
$50.00100% whole bunch. Usually the different grapes in a blend are fermented separately but not here, where the Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro and Cinsault were fermented together. Hand-harvested across 3 days, the grapes were pitch-forked into an open top fermenter and trodden. Basket pressed and aged in oak barrels for a savoury profile. Full, firm and […]

Lot 462 Crossroad Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
$25.00Barossa Cabernet has to be one of the most underrated wine styles in Australia. Swathes of blackcurrant and blueberry fruit with a gorgeous lick of toasty oak and mixed spice. There’s real structure here, but this is hidden by the glorious, juicy, plush fruit. The winemaking philosophy at Lot 462 is simple: less is more. […]

Lambert Wines Crudo Shiraz 2021
$30.00Luke Lambert’s Crudo Shiraz has always been about youthful charm: it’s a young, vibrant and juicy red, with the Yarra’s granitic Denton Hill outcrop helping to tick all those boxes. It’s a warmer site than the Tibooburra vineyard (from where the Estate Syrah is sourced) and so the wine is naturally juicier and more primary-fruit-driven. […]

Laughing Jack Jack’s Shiraz 2019
$25.00Plum, cherry & mulberry almost take a back seat to the array of spices. Black pepper, all spice, cloves and star anise. Equally earthy beetroot, cola and black olives strive for centre stage. Medium bodied, soft silky mid palate with structural grainy tannins on the finish. The drying tannins are a reflection of the very […]

Songs from Mars The Shoe Nero d’Avola 2019
$34.00This Nero is great – part of the fruit was affected by frost so it became dehydrated and concentrated. The other half was pristine so while it has a super ripe varietal nose, the palate is balanced and savoury with heaps of acid. It’s very, very good chilled! Half whole bunch, half de-stemmed. From Greenock. […]

Ravensworth Sangiovese 2021
$30.00If someone were to ask what a Sangiovese tasted like, this is the wine I would put in front of them. Lavender wood, cherry, tobacco and brambly fruit. Vivid, juicy and savoury, I love the brightness of the fruit, coupled with savoury firm tannins. Mid weight and so much vibrancy to pair with so many […]
