This puts Castle Rock into the top echelon with those cool climate regions in eastern Australia.

Toolangi Pinot Noir 2021
$30.00The 2021 Toolangi Pinot has a nice array of expression so early here that’s good to see! Rose petal spiced plum and strawberries with some crushed nutmeg on the nose. The palate exhibits similar flavour spectrum with some nice density to it, trademark Toolangi tannin to close but its fresh and ready to go! Fruit […]

Hochkirch Villages Pinot Noir 2021
$50.00This is 100% estate fruit, 25% whole bunches were retained while the balance of the crop was destemmed. A wild ferment was in small open vats and the juice had about three to four days rest before some gentle foot-stomping and a daily plunge. Everything was pressed after 14 days into tank, and then gravity-fed […]

Traviarti Mezzo Nebbiolo 2022
$45.00The 2022 Traviarti Mezzo Nebbiolo is from three sites, grown at different altitudes to produce a bright, rich and fresh rendition of Nebbiolo. 2022 is a cool and dry vintage, and this is certainly the best Mezzo to date. Classic notes of sweet cherry, raspberry, but also hedgefruits. Rippling and gripping, full of brightness and […]

Polperro Estate Pinot Noir 2021
$55.00Out of Stock
One of the best estate pinto noirs in Australia and ridiculous value for money. Medium to full bodied with aromas of blackberry, lavender, 5 spice, dark cherry, plum and cranberry. Sleek and voluminous, not a ‘light’ wine by any means. Sweet and tangy fruit, cake spice, oak spice, petrichor and a ferrous quality, unusual for […]

Quealy KKO1 Pinot Noir 2020
$38.00Unique pinot noir, with very fine nose of dark fruits, black cherry, sweet spice, petrichor and lavender. For all it’s character and vividness of flavour, this is still a pinot noir and has a lightness of touch on the palate. Silken and smooth, with threaded texture and lanolin tannins and abundant acidity. Casual, cool and […]

La Petite Vanguard Grenache 2022
$32.00The 2022 is generous, fluid and vibrant. Roses, pomegranate, cranberry and strawberry mingle with clove and aniseed. Pure and juicy palate, so fresh and bright, but deep and detailed too.

Chateau Pato Hunter Valley OPV Shiraz 2017
$45.00Always a classic Hunter “Burgundy style”, the 2017 OPV must surely be the best we’ve tasted since 2011. Elegant and open with red, blue and black fruits, five spice, violets, vanilla, campfire and autumnal notes. Tannins are fine and expansive, coupling with ripe acidity that really drives the flavour along. Beautifully weighted, drinks like a […]

Ravensworth Estate Sangiovese 2021
$45.00Alongside Fighting Gully Road, the Ravensworth Estate’s 2021 Sangiovese is the finest in Australia. Classic, intensely perfumed Sangiovese aromatics of cherry, cola, aniseed, violets, cassis, fresh earth, subtle smoke and tobacco leaf.

A Rodda Cuvee de Chais 2021
$40.00A blend of 60/22/9/9% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc/petit verdot. Several different parcels of grape varieties, but all wines were pressed to French oak barriques (36% new) for 15 months. While Italian grapes are making headway in Beechworth, this wine reminds you of the classic beauty to be found in the region’s French grapes. The fineness and […]

Swinney Syrah 2021
$45.00Shiraz/Syrah and Australia. It just works. The 2021 is quiet different from previous releases; rounder in shape, ample with finer, lacier tannins. Not so sleek or linear and a dialling back of the mouth puckering mineral acidity. Blueberry, sweet cherry, violets, raspberry and delicate spice. Plush, without any sense of heaviness, a triumph of a […]

CRFT Arranmore Pinot Noir 2021
$45.00Quite a classic wine – firm and correct, medium bodied, linear, savoury, reminding me of the pinots from Beaune. Lifted florals with some ripe whole bunch influence of clove, licorice and aniseed. Focused, compact and coiled with brambly fruit, cranberry, savoury spice and ripe authoritative tannins. Nothing showy. A discreet wine, with pin point balance […]

J&S Fielke Piccadilly Valley Pinot Noir 2022
$40.00One of my favourite red wines of 2023, at a price point that is swamped by good but unexciting examples of pinot. Well, this is amazing. Ripe stewed red fruits of rhubarb, strawberry, cherry and cranberry, with a sweet and savoury spice element. Floral too, with lavender, violet and geranium. Open and beautifully proportioned, with […]

From the Palisander vineyard, only 0.5 of a hectare, planted in 2002. At twenty years the vineyard is mature and the wine is gaining richness year on year.

Polperro Talland Hill Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00Very savoury to sweet, we come to the Talland Hill vineyard. The warmest of the Polperro single vineyards, but it has to be noted that it’s still a very cool site by any measure. Always the richest, curvaceous and dark fruited, the 2021 has yielded the finest release to date. Black fruits, violets, liquorice, cinnamon […]

Walsh & Sons Roi Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$45.00From a vineyard planted in 1998 and only 170 dozen produced. This is a terrific follow up to the 2020, finer, sleeker and deeper. Classic Margaret River nose with blackcurrant, plum, blackberry, blueberry, cigar box and geraniums. High toned, with a refined intensity that is positively mouthwatering and succulent all at the same time. Terrific […]

The planting density here is 1.3m x 0.8m and this high density spacing always gives us more power and concentration while maintaining the lightness and elegance of […]

Farr Rising Gamay 2022
$55.00This is a particularly smoky, earthen, tobacco-strewn edition of Farr’s Moorabool Valley gamay, the word ‘savouriness’ almost going without saying. It’s a dry, woodsy, leafy wine with a line of juicy red cherry-like fruit washing throughout, and personality at every turn. It’s also firm with tannin, in the most measured and uncompromising of ways. Tight, […]

Even Keel Canberra Syrah 2021
$35.00An absolute joy to taste. Beautiful nose of sweet red, black and hedge fruits, cured meats, savoury spice and chocolate. Such freshness, yet plenty of weight to know that this is serious.

Place of Changing Winds Syrah No. 2 2021
$40.00Animated and floral, with whole bunches evident, but not defining. Compote of brambly fruit, lavender, mulberry, blackberry, rhubarb, cinnamon and clove. Cool and sleek, super bright, fresh and intense, the longer elevage seemingly to heighten the elements rather than dull them.
