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. […]

Denton Pinot Noir 2019
$45.00Unique style, with a fruit profile more complex than typically found in the Yarra Valley. Classic and traditional Pinot Noir characteristics, from one of Australia’s most talented winemakers, Luke Lambert. Pretty nose of red and black fruits, violets, five spice and rhubarb. Glorious flavours of strawberry, plum, raspberry, cut flowers and spice. Sensual caressing feel, […]

Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021
$65.00From the Primavera vineyard at Woori Yallock, planted in 2001 on the same red soil as Wombat Creek. Both destemmed (55%) and whole-bunch components. Bottled unfined and unfiltered. A very bright crimson purple. So pure and perfumed with briary cherries, ripe redcurrants and freshly cut roses. Poised, juicy and energetic, the wine has so much […]

The Wanderer Upper Yarra Pinot Noir 2019
$55.00At last, a Yarra pinot with weight and stuffing. Intense aromas of boysenberry, dark cherry, plum, five spice, cut flavours and wood. Medium, almost full bodied, with terrific freshness and lightness of touch, considering its power. Red and dark fruits, alpine herbs, slippery, satiny texture that firms to velvet. Bright and brooding, the wine is […]

The Wanderer White Label Pinot Noir 2021
$35.00An extremely fine wine, and it’s nice to see plenty of stuffing from a Yarra Valley pinot noir. High toned red and black fruits, Asian spices, vanilla pod and cut flowers. The palate cuts both ways, linear and expansive. Excellent core of sweet and tangy fruit. Vibrant and long, the acidity driving silky tannins. Terrific […]

Yeringberg Pinot Noir 2018
$90.00Deceptively elegant, with dried flowers, plum, cherry, rhubarb, cranberry, clove and five spice. The colour, lightish, doesn’t prepare you for the propulsive power of flavour that attacks the palate. Intense red fruits, succulent and tangy. Wild, thrashing flavours, joyous in the way that they overlap each other. Deep and firm, abundant acidity and firm ripe […]

Yeringberg Yeringberg Cabernets 2018
$90.00One of Australia’s most beautiful Bordeaux blends and for us, incomparably elegant. Claret in style, Yeringberg Cabernets is classically styled and with the 2018 vintage, we tasted a ripeness, concentration and density of fruit seen only in the very best of vintages. Blackcurrant, blackberry, cherry and black plum, with lifted floral scents, thyme and cigar […]

Yeringberg Shiraz 2018
$85.00Always the most overtly structured of the Yeringberg offerings, the 2018 vintage Shiraz has a tannic presence rarely seen in Australia. Medium bodied, tightly wound, and needing vigorous coaxing, when it does finally appear, the intensity of entry is worth the wait. Gripping the mouth with firm, coating tannins offering red fruits, blueberry, lavender, camphor, […]

Denton Shed Nebbiolo 2020
$40.00Very fine “second” wine from Denton. Their estate nebbiolo is one of the best in the country, and this is similar in style to the Traviarti Mezzo. Sleek, with an interplay between sweet and tangy red fruits. Floral elements and Middle Eastern spices, dust what is otherwise a bright, fruit driven palate. Velvet tannins give […]

Denton Shed Pinot Noir 2019
$30.00For all it’s “fun”, I can’t imagine opening this at a BBQ. It’s better than something to be sloshed about. Pretty and floral, with red fruits, 5 spice, very subtle wood and alpine herbs. Satiny texture, bright acidity and sleek expansiveness from the whole bunch. Puts on weight with time, but never loses it’s shape. […]

Bird on a Wire Syrah 2017
$40.00This comes off the same great site as the Marsanne, on the Yarra Glen/Dixons Creek boundary. In 2017 a combination of whole-bunch, whole berry and crushed fruit was managed in small fermenters. Each portion spent between 14 days and three weeks on skins. During this time a mixture of hand plunging, foot stomping and pumping-over was used, […]
