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
$50.00The Grenache that produces this wine comes from an outstanding vineyard in Blewitt Springs.

Small patches of rain during […]

Domaine de Ferrand Cotes du Rhone Mistral 2020

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 […]

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.

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. […]

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. […]

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.

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.
