Nocturne Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$58.00Cabernet off the Sheaok Vineyard, and it’s a beauty (although it comes in a way-too-heavy bottle about 1.5kg when full). No complaints about the flavour profile of blackberry essence and cassis, cedary oak spices and toasted nori, black olive tapenade and menthol. It’s fuller bodied with a ping of lively acidity, and the tannins are […]

Super bright palate, juicy, with gentle spice, refreshing acidity, silky mouthfeel and a squeeze of powdery tannins. Utterly drinkable, versatile and there’s a serious side too. Absolute bargain. Waters Wine Co Organic. Marcoux’s […]

Standish Wine Co The Standish 2021
$135.00Very deep colour and remarkably vivid considering the presumably long period in wood. There is bright purple towards the rim, fading from the deep blackness of the core, suggesting the inclusion of whole bunches. Intense aromatics, florals, black fruits, sweet and savoury spice. It’s not overly complex at present but the flavours are utterly captivating […]

Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Syrah 2021
$55.00Tasting the No 2 and the Harcourt Syrah together, you are able to taste the estate’s DNA, the wines sharing many characteristics. Deeper in colour, extremely floral with lavender, violets and geraniums. The notes are darker, deeper and sweeter, with cassis, kirsch, star anise, herbs and cocoa. Rich, full bodied, voluptuous, baroque in lavish detail. […]

Savage Girl Next Door 2022
$75.00The only thing wrong with this wine, sourced from a 0.38-hectare vineyard in Cape Town, is that there’s so little of it, owing to the size of the parcel and the strong prevailing winds. Pure, taut, focused and refined, it’s peppery, herbal, graceful and red-fruited, with a delicacy and elegance that wouldn’t look out of […]

By Farr RP Pinot Noir 2021
$155.00Deep colour, dusky red with a trace of purple in the meniscus; the bouquet is initially big on stalky whole-bunch fermented characters, root vegetables, gradually giving way to dark cherries and dark plums. The palate is full and rich, a bigger bone pinot showing generous smoky oak character as well, bright acidity energising the finish […]

Hochkirch Maximus Pinot Noir 2021
$70.00This is the best Pinot Noir that John can produce each year at Hochkirch, some years it is not made. These are the oldest vines and the best barrels. This wine always has a sensual, elegant mouthfeel but with outstanding retention of acidity and freshness and a distinctive earthy, sappy complexity which is the terroir. Pure, […]

Mullineux Kloof Street Rouge 2020
$25.00The 2020 Kloof Street Rouge is made from Swartland fruit, a blend of Cinsault, Tinta Barocca, Grenache and Syrah. This is a classic South African red and blended, better than the sum of its parts. Juicy and medium bodied with a heady perfume of fresh flowers, baking spices and dark fruits. Succulent and well-rounded, with […]

Bondar Junto GSM 2022
$30.00A great makeup of majority grenache (62%) with a smattering of shiraz, mataro and cinsault, reminiscent of a classic southern Rhône blend, albeit, with a lighter touch. As good, too. Effusive blue- and red-fruit allusions teem along rails of gentle tannins, a burr of whole-bunch spice as seasoning. A sweep of maritime salinity at the […]

Akutain Reserva Rioja 2017
$80.00One of the finest traditional Reservas on the market and incredible value. If this was Bordeaux or Burgundy, the price would be much higher. Blackcurrant, plum, cranberry, raspberry, aniseed, tobacco, vanilla, violets and cola. Medium to full bodied, incredibly fresh and vibrant, certainly firm and serious. Flecks of savoury spice, dried fruit and firm mineral […]

The nose is all black pastel, charcoal, spice and red fruit compote. The palate has a wonderful electricity about it, with beautiful acids and a smooth finish. It’s full […]

Dalrymple Pinot Noir 2022
$42.00Out of Stock
No one loses with this in the glass. What an engaging and super tasty Pinot Noir we have here from Dalrymple. A blend of fruit from Pipers River, Coal River and Ouse, this is a wonderfully varietal wine. Red cherries, blackberry leaf and a lick of plum fold into autumnal things – tilled earth, undergrowth, […]

Place of Changing Winds Annus Horribilis Pinot Noir 2020
$95.00Out of Stock
A remarkable wine, from an impossible vintage. The fruit is sourced from all of the estate vineyards, only 100 cases produced perhaps the best demonstration of just how punishing a vintage it was. Quite closed initially, but with patience, aromatically soaring. Intense sweet and tangy blue red and black fruits, cut flowers, mace, clove, cinnamon […]

Tyrrell’s Hunter Valley Shiraz 2021
$25.00Vibrant purple colour, with a lifted nose showing red fruits and Christmas cake spice. The palate has wonderful concentration and depth yet is still lively and fresh. Soft ripe tannins and piquant acidity drive and carry the wine. A wonderful example of the modern, medium bodied Hunter Valley Shiraz. Unbelievable complexity and detail for a […]

Walsh & Sons Lola 2021
$28.00One of the best value wine’s we have tasted in a very long time. A blend of Syrah, Cabernet and Grenache, the blend might seem unlikely, but it works tremendously. Plenty to smell here; dried flowers, blackcurrant, plum, raspberry and spice. Ample palate, that coats the mouth in flavour, but without any heaviness or astringency. […]

La Petite Vanguard Grenache 2022
$32.00The 2022 is generous, fluid and vibrant. Roses, pomegranate, cranberry and strawberry mingle with clove and aniseed. Pure and juicy palate, so fresh and bright, but deep and detailed too.

La Rioja Alta Vina Arana Gran Reserva 2014
$100.00Apart from the beautiful 904 and the magisterial 890, Vina Arana is the most “classic” and traditional of La Rioja Alta’s wines. Expressive aromatics, indeed the most complex of this release. Blueberry, cassis, blackberry, dark cherry, five spice, Mediterranean herbs, vanilla and unlit cigar. Rich, full bodied and creamy. Very complete and balanced, interwoven flavours […]

Sadie Family Swartland Pofadder 2022
$165.00Can Cinsault make world class wines? In the right hands, yes. This complex, juicy, joyously drinkable Darling red has amazing concentration and grip for what is only a medium-bodied wine.

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. While Italian grapes are making headway in Beechworth, this wine reminds you of the classic beauty to be found in the region’s French grapes. The fineness and […]

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 […]

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$135.00“Another simply sublime edition of this great wine. The volume of fruit was down almost 60% but the small berry influence has added even more intensity and depth, if that is possible with this wine. Interesting point of difference is that the combination is slightly different from previous vintages with 90% cabernet sauvignon, 3% cabernet […]

CRFT Whisson Lake Pinot Noir 2021
$45.00I’m not sure if there’s a better pinot noir vineyard in the Adelaide Hills, but I doubt it. I love the fact that for all the comparisons with Burgundy, the pinots from Whisson Lake are entire unto themselves. Soaring aromatics of rhubarb, spiced plum, cranberry, cherry, geranium, lavender and star anise. Voluptuous curvy palate. Mouth […]
