Fighting Gully Road Sangiovese 2024
$35.00Medium-bodied, with plush, fine-grained tannins that linger. Brambly dark berries, sour cherry and plum lead, with nuances of dried herbs, raspberry and earthy savouriness. Mouthwatering and beautifully composed. “Mark Walpole loves sangiovese and the feeling is reciprocated. This is a mighty strong follow-up to the ’23, fairly bristling in cherry-fruited and aromatic brightness and […]

Chacra Cincuenta Y Cinco Pinot Noir 2025
$125.00“Strawberry, spice, nutmeg and orange peel aromas follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and underlying salinity. Crunchy, tight and classy. Only 11.8% alcohol.” – 96 points, James Suckling From vines planted in 1955 on a sea of pebbles. There is a wonderful purity in this wine with dried strawberry and iodine. Cherry […]

Vanguardist Grenache 2023
$70.00“Vanguardist-farmed Rende vineyard bush vines, around 55 years old; 60% whole bunch, with about seven weeks on skins; matured in 2200L Slavonian oak. The cool vintage has its say.

Dr Edge Tasmania Pinot Noir 2024
$58.00Peter Dredge is the very model of the modern major winemaker. Classically trained, technically strong, he has the solid foundations required to push things, as he punningly promises on the label, to the edge. Without the disciplined fruit sourcing, the commitment to keeping multiple parcels separate through fermentation and the finely tuned skill to blend […]

Bulman Gary’s Vineyard Grenache 2024
$75.00“From the Springs Hill vineyard in Blewitt Springs, with the ’07-planted grenache grown by Gary Whaite. Pale in the glass, this is less effusively spicy than the ’23, somewhat coiled, but with more power behind it. A story of vintage. Power is misleading, though, as this is just so refined, rolling through sour red cherries, […]

$150.00The 2022 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier contains 2% Viognier skins, and this addition presents in this vintage as a core of raspberry and pomegranate.

Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle 2023

By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir 2024

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2023
