La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2019
$75.00Gorgeous nose of creaming soda, nutmeg, cherry, raspberry and thyme. Plush and round in shape, with strong oak influence and some tertiary notes poking through. Aniseed, sandalwood, cinnamon, vanilla and sweet Jamon. These I suspect will become more prominent with time. Utterly idiosyncratic and a beautiful introduction to traditional Rioja. Waters Wine Co 93 points […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2016
$120.00Savory and complex with dried orange peel, cedar and plenty of sweet spices, walnuts, caramel, dried mushrooms and pine needles. Shows maturity here, with a medium body and superb freshness. Incredibly long finish with lots of truffle and walnut. Lasts over a minute. Very complete now, but you can still hold it. 95 points – James […]

Akutain Reserva Rioja 2017

Blackcurrant, plum, cranberry, raspberry, aniseed, tobacco, vanilla, violets and cola. Medium to full bodied, incredibly fresh and vibrant, certainly firm and serious. Flecks of savoury spice, dried fruit and firm mineral […]

Akutain Cosecha Rioja 2019
$40.00Aged in neutral oak, this is brimming with bright fruit, but you can still see some tertiary notes, denoting traditional Rioja. Fruit driven and medium bodied with blackberry, plum, raspberry, tobacco, aniseed and cut flowers. The fruit is sweet and tangy, buoyed by sandy, grippy tannins and mouthwatering acidity. An absolute delight to drink. One […]

Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2015
$65.00The most sweetly fruited of traditional Rioja, with rich cassis, raspberry, morello cherry, sweet vanilla, sandalwood and oiled leather. The oak is perfectly integrated, so often it’s raw in traditional Rioja upon release, but not here. Flavours folded, glistening, melting tannins ever present, that soften towards the close. It’s very hard to resist now, so […]

La Rioja Alta Finca Martelo 2015
$110.00Intensely complex and aromas of blueberry, sweet raspberry, dark cherry, blackberry, lavender soap, lavender wood and five spice. Boom! So much energy and muscle, super tight, tense and coiled. Even the tannins are complex, sleek, firm and finally, powdery. Deep core and not the concentration of sweet fruit, but a deep core of savoury, spicy, […]

Thomas Synergy Shiraz 2021
$25.00The selection of the wines going under this label is achieved by blending a large number of barrels that didn’t have the quality needed for Single Vineyard status. It’s a most attractive wine in the lighter end of medium bodied. It won the Trophy for Best One-Year-Old Shiraz at the Hunter Valley Wine Show ’22, […]

Mercer Limited Release Shiraz 2021
$60.00A very good vintage for the Hunter Valley. Wonderfully bright aromas of blackcurrant pastille, sweet cranberry, redcurrant, violets and briary notes. Ruch and full bodied, filling every corner of the palate. Such polish and control. There’s a sense of effortless and silky power. Terrific purity and flow, the bright fruit flavours so fresh. Tannins and […]

Valenciso 10 Anos Rioja 2012
$110.00The subtle, elegant and complex 2012 10 Años Después (10 years after!) matured for four years in concrete followed by four more years in Caucasian oak barrels that polished it. It has an incredible 15% alcohol, which doesn’t show at all, and the wine comes through as balanced and elegant, powerful too but with no […]
