Polperro Coverdale Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00The first release of the Coverdale vineyard, planted in 2010 on volcanic red clay in a natural amphitheatre. Cool and exposed of course ala Polperro, and like Talland Hill, a touch more rugged and dark fruited. Sweet spices, dark fruits, brambly fruits, cola and clove. Rich and succulent, the gummy tannins prominent, mouth-watering and mineral. […]

Polperro Mill Hill Pinot Noir 2021
$100.00If there was a single vineyard wine in this release that defines Polperro then it would have to be Mill Hill. One of the coolest sites and late harvested, there is nonetheless an intensity and concentration of flavour, coupled with high toned aromatics, bracing structure and buoyant acidity.

MMAD Shiraz 2022
$75.00This is a seriously impressive release, showcasing winemaker Adam Wadewitz’s learnings from the first vintage and the bounty of full viticultural control. The old-vine fruit could easily handle about one-third whole bunch, a Wadewitz favourite. And that impact is profoundly positive, weaving in spicy, smoky notes and complexing tannins to provide exceptional tension without greenness. […]

Swinney Syrah 2022
$45.00This is part of a triumvirate of wines that showcases the vineyard and winemaking that have crafted these super wines. This is not your fruit bomb Aussie shiraz.

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]

Mac Forbes Gembrook Village Pinot Noir 2022
$65.00The deepest, and most brooding of the range, yet curiously with the sweetest fruit profile. Sweet English strawberry and raspberry, kirsch and sweet Middle Eastern spices. Fascinating palate, due to its chalky, savoury, pithy and mineral profile, awash with sweet red fruits. Tertiary notes of herb, spice and compost are very subtle, but will no […]

Laughing Jack Greenock Shiraz 2019
$50.00Terrific rendition of Greenock Creek’s rich and opulent flavours. Full bodied, with black fruits, some sweet raspberry, sumac, cinnamon and wood spice. Round in shape, it’s not heavy and is surprisingly light on it’s feet. Despite all the apparent presence and flavour, there’s a youthful brightness, conveyed by the fine, soft tannins. Lovely focus and […]

Battles Shiraz 2022
$35.00Clean and vibrant, lifted aromatics are one of the hallmarks of this Shiraz. Pretty florals of purple flowers and violets are underpinned by blackberry and red cherry fruit. The 2022 Battles Shiraz palate is full bodied with a deep core of dark fruits and a persistent tannin structure, which helps the wine draw long, with […]

The combination of mouthwatering acidity and fruit, flecked with vanilla bean is scintillating, finishing with lacy, snappy tannins. The best light red we tasted in 2023. Waters […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Junction Village Pinot Noir 2022
$65.00Dark fruits and rounder in shape than the other village wines. Blackberry, cassis, blueberry, cherry and Christmas spice. The sweet fruit is counterbalanced by savoury notes of clove, cured meats and bay leaf.

Timo Mayer Volcanic Syrah 2022
$60.00Syrah isn’t exactly the varietal that comes to mind when you think of the Yarra Valley, but in the past 12 months some of my favourite wines from anywhere have been Yarra Valley Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. More generous than I’d expected, plusher and the whole bunches play their part, but not overly so. […]
