Rippon Emma’s Block Pinot Noir 2018
$138.00It’s hard to express, but smells tighter, with some more noticeable oak. Plum, Daphne, creme de cassis, raspberry and brown spice. The structure is more evident than in the Mature Vine and is cooler, cosseted and slightly less expressive. Very long, so persistent with those trademark velvety/chalk tannins that become more firm and morph into […]

Roc Breïa Pinot Noir 2022
$245.00Out of Stock
“Théo Dancer’s 2022 Pinot Noir is rather deep and muscular this year, opening in the glass with aromas of plummy fruit and sweet spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and primary palate framed by sweet, powdery tannins. It’s matured in used 500-liter barrels.” 92 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate The Roc Breïa […]

Polperro Talland Hill Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00Very savoury to sweet, we come to the Talland Hill vineyard. The warmest of the Polperro single vineyards, but it has to be noted that it’s still a very cool site by any measure.

Chartogne-Taillet Champagne Brut Rose NV
$110.00Chartogne’s delicious rosé is based on a similar blend to the Sainte Anne cuvée, without the reserve wine – instead this is purely from vintage 2018. The base was combined with a little Estate red wine from the vineyards of Les Orizeaux and Fontaines de Saint Thierry. Wild fermentation was followed by élevage in barrels of […]

Rippon Mature Vine Pinot Noir 2012 Cellar Release
$165.00Direct from the cool dark cellars of Rippon, and at 10 years old this is drinking beautifully. It’s interesting to taste the estate’s DNA, with no perceptible style changes over the years. As always, an expression of vintage, and 2012 is considered great according to Nick Mill, owner/winemaker at Rippon. Red fruits, cherry, plum, strawberry, […]

Sadie Family Swartland Treinspoor 2021
$145.00The 2021 Treinspoor is Sadie’s Tinta Barocca that the man himself likens to Nebbiolo, also opining that it is a wine that needs considerable ageing. These vines were planted in 1974, and the blend includes 40% whole clusters. It has a complex, succinctly defined bouquet with melted tar and graphite infused dark berry fruit, a […]

A complex wine already: it […]

Rippon Emma’s Block Pinot Noir 2019
$145.00Emma’s Block is at the bottom of the slope, by the lake, facing east. The soils, like the rest of the estate are of schist. This is a cool site, with winds whipping up off the lake and hitting Emma’s first. Cool and high toned, floral, pretty with more spice and red and briary fruit. […]
