Chateau St Georges St Emilion 2016
$80.00The 2016 Château Saint Georges has a straight forward but attractive smoke and cigar box tinged bouquet with ample black fruit. The palate is medium bodied with sappy black fruit, well integrated oak, well judged acidity and a poised and elegant finish. What a delicious Château Saint Georges this should be, one that should give […]

Vanguardist MVG Grenache 2020
$50.00The Grenache that produces this wine comes from an outstanding vineyard in Blewitt Springs. A hidden gem of sorts, the high ‘Silver Sands’ vineyard was planted by Robert Rende and his father Michael some 50+ years ago. The summer of 2020 was the third hot and dry vintage in succession. Small patches of rain during […]

Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py 2019
$90.00Out of Stock
An intensely mineral expression of Beaujolais that makes a good argument for this region, matching the (well known) terroir expression of Burgundy. As pure and focused as it is concentrated with a very long finish that’s all wet stones. Great aging potential! Drink or hold. 95 Points – James Suckling

Hochkirch Tarrington Pinot Noir 2020
$49.00Alongside it’s sibling Hochkirch, Tarrington is home to some of the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in Australia. The 2020 Tarrington Pinot Noir is ethereal – cherry, plum and raspberry with notes of Asian spices, lavender and petrichor. Beautifully weighted and poised, with a sappy texture that cruises the crush of tangy red fruits. Some […]

Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico 2019
$60.00Morello cherry, lavender, plum, tobacco leaf, sandalwood and blood orange aromatics. Medium bodied and refined, a very well balanced Chianti Classico that is nonetheless branded with powdery, skinsy tannins. Terrific volume of fruit, plush and sensual mouthfeel and piquant acidity that is as sculptural as it is moreish. One of the best Classisco’s we’ve tasted […]

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. Hand-harvested across 3 days, the grapes were pitch-forked into an open top fermenter and trodden. Basket pressed and aged in oak barrels for a savoury profile. Full, firm and […]

Desvignes Morgon Cote du Py Javernieres 2020
$50.00As always, a deep colour and expressive nose. Exotic notes of sweet red fruits, cassis, clove, petrichor and apricot. Powerful and rich, with luxuriant weight, buoyant acidy and fleshy, fresh pulped fruit. Very powerful in all departments and mesmerising in it’s sensuality. One of the best. Waters Wine Co Deep, bright, youthful purple/red colour. The […]

Moss Wood Margaret River Pinot Noir 2018
$65.00I have been fortunate in recent years to taste many bottles of this wine from the 1980s in masked lineups, each time (although less as time wore on) confounded as to their provenance. Moss Wood pinot noir has developed a reputation over the years for its capability to age gracefully in the cellar. Here, through […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Pinot Noir 2020
$60.00A superb pinot – displays a delicate balance between red and dark fruits, high-toned aromatics, layered depth and verve. 2020 was a tiny vintage at Sailor Seeks Horse in the Huon Valley, yielding just 2 t/ha. But the long, cool growing season has produced wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Wines of elegance and finesse; structure […]

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2019
$55.00Good chianti can be hard to find, often light and raw or over oaked and bigger than a Barossa shiraz. Isole e Olena’s Chianti are none of those things! Crimson in colour with sour cherry and bramble notes. The palate has a subtle, lithe character full of perfumed fruit and is given depth by a […]

Massolino Barolo 2017
$100.00The 2017 Barolo is a gorgeous, harmonious wine. In this vintage, the straight Barolo is a bit lighter than normal, as most wines are, but it is so impeccably balanced. Pliant and inviting, the 2017 will be pleasurable to drink in another year or two. The purity of the flavors is just striking. Red berry […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2015
$100.00A giant leap into the La Rioja Alta nexus of sweet fruit and rich, tannic power. Cherry cola, mushroom compost, red fruits, blueberry, cigar box and cinnamon. Rich, almost full bodied, the fruit is ripe and glossy, the tannins, initially tight, but sweeten and melt with time in the glass. A terrific combination of charm […]

Polperro Estate Pinot Noir 2020
$55.00One 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 […]

Fletcher Barbaresco Recta Pete DOCG 2019
$85.00Right from the early days of drinking wines from the Langhe, we always tend to gravitate to Barbaresco. Elegance, drinkability, finesse and value for money. Barbaresco is also the more consistent. Fletcher’s rendition is very classic, a model of the region in fact. Red fruits, cut flowers, savoury spice and kirsch lead onto a sleek, […]

JC’s Own Greenock Shiraz 2018
$65.00The 2018 single vineyard Greenock is a strong but sensual Shiraz – big on fruit intensity but with a supple, svelte palate. Mouth-wateringly good! Bold, brash, assertive red of booze-soaked stewed berries, sweet spice, earthy savouriness, brined black olives with a match between the fog of scent and wall of flavour. A freight train through […]

Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2018
$88.00The emblematic wine of the estate, coming off all the vineyards. Complex; there’s just so many flavours here, too many to put down. Clove, aniseed, plum, pastille, black fruits, raspberry and nutmeg. The fruit is so sweet and expressive, but without any heaviness. Voluminous, round and as close to generous as Rippon gets. Incredible width, […]

Yangarra King’s Wood Shiraz 2019
$58.00“Incredibly vibrant deep purple colour in the glass. Subdued nose, dark loam and black fruits lurk with intent. Remarkable poise for such a young wine, dark fruits, blood and ironstone all meld seamlessly. Full of palate yet has a feeling of compression from acid and tannin so it pushes very deep and long. Time will […]

Noemia A Lisa Malbec 2019
$55.00The 2019 A Lisa has a stunning, vibrant plum colour in the glass. This is a rounded and juicy wine, offering a medley of fresh, cool, blue and black fruits. Hints of liquorice and star anise too. 10 months in old French oak have added a lovely polish to the robust tannins. Drink now or […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2016
$55.00Gorgeous 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.

The La Spinetta 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo offers dark tones and bright fruit definition with forest berry, wild rose and cedar wood.

Savage Are We There Yet 2019
$50.00Last year I noted early on that the 2018 Are We There Yet cuvee had really found another quality gear on previous vintages. Looking back, this was genuinely born out in the real world as this slightly quirky Malgas red blend ended up selling out in the UK market even faster than many of the […]

Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino 2019
$57.00A wine to keep you company. Served from a decanter, totally expressive and open. Cassis, blackberry, cherry thyme and star anise exude a depth of presence that would warm the cockles of the most discerning Brunello drinker. Full bodied, but not heavy. There’s a lightness of touch in the bright and vivid fruit. Some earthy […]

Feels luxurious, languid and effortless, with a silken caress. The palate carries the aromas, but also with mulberry, autumn leaves and not too bitter chocolate. Graceful and thoroughly […]

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
$60.00Strongly varietal aroma with blackcurrant, cedar and a subtle floral note. A core of sweet fruit with a subtle liquorice, spice and anise influence wraps around a backbone of fine, soft tannins. An elegant wine that is approachable now but promises to develop well with bottle age. 96 points – Bob Campbell, The Real Review […]
