A Rodda Cuvee de Chais 2021
$40.00A blend of 60/22/9/9% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/cabernet franc/petit verdot. Several different parcels of grape varieties, but all wines were pressed to French oak barriques (36% new) for 15 months.

Swinney Syrah 2021
$45.00Shiraz/Syrah and Australia. It just works. The 2021 is quiet different from previous releases; rounder in shape, ample with finer, lacier tannins. Not so sleek or linear and a dialling back of the mouth puckering mineral acidity. Blueberry, sweet cherry, violets, raspberry and delicate spice. Plush, without any sense of heaviness, a triumph of a […]

Swinney Mourvedre 2021
$45.00An underappreciated variety in Australia, but I have no doubt that we will soon be tasting a Farvie Mourvedre, based on the quality of this bottle. Classic aromatics of smokey, earthy, campfire, camphor and dark fruits. Again in 2021 the shape is so different from previous vintages, rounder and somehow a little bit grander. But […]

Swinney Grenache 2021
$45.00A higher level of refinement has crept into the 2021’s, compared to the sleek, puckering wines of 2020. Pretty aromatics of jubey red fruits, tangy hedge fruits and brooding black fruits. Pure, flecked with flowers, ironstone and spice. The fruits are very complex, light and dark, sweet and tangy. The shape and mouthfeel are gentler, […]

Swinney Syrah 2020
$40.00Frankland River had a great vintage in 2019 and Swinny has cashed in big time, 2019 their best release to date.

A Rodda Tete de Cuvee Beechworth Cabernets 2019
$85.00Why oh why don’t we drink more Cabernet? Well this is a blend, Cabernet dominant mind, and that beggars the next question; why don’t we drink more blends?

Beautiful aromatics of cassis, blackberry, mulberry, cranberry, lavender tobacco and sandalwood. […]

Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

This is syrah and there is more than a little Old World style here. The fruit shows an almost luminosity that bursts from the glass. The […]
