La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2019
$75.00Gorgeous 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. Waters Wine Co 93 points […]

Wild Duck Creek Springflat Shiraz 2020

Combination of American and French oak, 45% being new. Intense aromas of bright red fruits, chocolate and strawberry […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2016
$120.00Savory and complex with dried orange peel, cedar and plenty of sweet spices, walnuts, caramel, dried mushrooms and pine needles. Shows maturity here, with a medium body and superb freshness. Incredibly long finish with lots of truffle and walnut. Lasts over a minute. Very complete now, but you can still hold it. 95 points – James […]

Flecks of savoury spice, dried fruit and firm mineral […]

Bindi Pyrette Heathcote Shiraz 2021
$40.00Sourced from the Harcourt vineyard, ala Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Shiraz 2021, made quite differently. The aromatics are totally Heathcote; sweet earth, campfire, iodine, Serrano, sweet dark fruits and violets. Medium to full bodied, it’s round and sensual, cut through with rich, gourmand tannins. Such a contrast with the POCW, proving if t were […]

Akutain Cosecha Rioja 2019
$40.00Out of Stock
Aged in neutral oak, this is brimming with bright fruit, but you can still see some tertiary notes, denoting traditional Rioja. Fruit driven and medium bodied with blackberry, plum, raspberry, tobacco, aniseed and cut flowers. The fruit is sweet and tangy, buoyed by sandy, grippy tannins and mouthwatering acidity. An absolute delight to drink. One […]

Place of Changing Winds Syrah No. 2 2021
$40.00Out of Stock
Animated and floral, with whole bunches evident, but not defining. Compote of brambly fruit, lavender, mulberry, blackberry, rhubarb, cinnamon and clove. Cool and sleek, super bright, fresh and intense, the longer elevage seemingly to heighten the elements rather than dull them. Incredible detail, herb, spice and fruit, beautifully flowing, long, silky and fine, tannins al […]

Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2015
$65.00The most sweetly fruited of traditional Rioja, with rich cassis, raspberry, morello cherry, sweet vanilla, sandalwood and oiled leather. The oak is perfectly integrated, so often it’s raw in traditional Rioja upon release, but not here. Flavours folded, glistening, melting tannins ever present, that soften towards the close. It’s very hard to resist now, so […]

Syrahmi Demi Shiraz 2021
$32.00Beautiful wine. Plum pie and roasted nuts, trails of woodsmoke and undergrowth, leather and a whisper of truffle. It’s complex, fluid, medium in weight and confident in the way it traverses its complex terrain. It will mature well but, there’s really no need to wait as it’s joyous right now. 95 Points – Campbell Mattinson, […]

La Rioja Alta Finca Martelo 2015
$110.00Intensely complex and aromas of blueberry, sweet raspberry, dark cherry, blackberry, lavender soap, lavender wood and five spice. Boom! So much energy and muscle, super tight, tense and coiled. Even the tannins are complex, sleek, firm and finally, powdery. Deep core and not the concentration of sweet fruit, but a deep core of savoury, spicy, […]

Valenciso 10 Anos Rioja 2012
$110.00The subtle, elegant and complex 2012 10 Años Después (10 years after!) matured for four years in concrete followed by four more years in Caucasian oak barrels that polished it. It has an incredible 15% alcohol, which doesn’t show at all, and the wine comes through as balanced and elegant, powerful too but with no […]
