Toolangi Pinot Noir 2020
$28.00The 2020 Toolangi Pinot was hand-harvested from 2001 plantings (MV6 clone grapes on the bottom of E Block), and naturally fermented as whole berries with minimal plunging for 12 days. Pressed to French oak (10% new) for 10 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered. As always, this is absolutely outstanding value. Bright, perfumed, layered yet […]

Denton Nebbiolo 2017
$55.00Unquestionably, one of Australia’s finest Nebbiolo’s. Pretty and perfumed with seductive red fruits of redcurrant, cherry and pomegranate with cut flowers and aniseed. Vibrant, with incredible width across the palate. Filigreed flavours and textures, the silk firming to lavender wood. Buoyant, the acidity is really pronounced, ripe and integrated. Incredible drinking now, but I would love […]

Toolangi Shiraz 2019
$24.00Toolangi’s 2019 Shiraz is a finely drawn, cool climate Shiraz with smoky charcuterie aromas layered with dried herbs and black fruits, a hint of restrained oak, pepper and spice. The palate is long and elegant, with a pristine core of dark berries and plums, tightly knit with gentle oak and supported by fine, dusty tannins. […]

Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019
$59.00This wine shouts Applejack from the rooftops: it’s perfumed, elegant and relatively light-bodied, but with a fireworks display of red fruits and complex, savoury tannins. As with all Giant Steps pinots, it’s not fined or filtered. 98 Points – James Halliday, The Weekend Australian Expressively complex with plenty of red-cherry, strawberry and pomegranate aromas, as […]

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, […]

Fletcher Minion Nebbiolo 2019
$35.00Very much an Australian, wearing the sun on some pretty broad shoulders. Blackberry, kirsch, cut flowers, and notes of earth lead on to a fullish palate where there’s a concentration of aniseed, bay leaf and a compote of black fruits. Terrific width, but what we really love are the tannins. Savoury, firm and a texture […]

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 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 […]

Mount Mary Marli Russell RP2 2019
$62.00The combination of 55/20/20/5% grenache/shiraz/mourvèdre/cinsault in this warmer vintage has brought out the best of each to make a harmonious, singularly focused wine. While there’s a plushness to the fruit, and even an intensity of flavour, it’s rather restrained, with a medium-bodied palate at best. A flutter of exotic spices, fine, grainy tannins and a […]

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, […]

Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020
$62.00Medium to light red/purple colour. Very floral and rose-petally, with a tinge of lavender. Highly aromatic pinot. The palate is light to medium-weight and finely-textured, with a sheen of firm but fine tannins adding grip and structure. The aftertaste has a brothy umami savouriness and a lingering aftertaste. Compact and focused. An excellent Yarra pinot […]
