Thistledown Thorny Devil Grenache 2023
$35.00From several districts, off old, dry-grown bush vines. The ferments are all nuanced, but all are wild, and there is always some whole bunch; maturation for eight months in old French oak. Pale in hue and pretty in fragrance, such is the vintage. Flavours skip through cranberry, wild raspberry, pomegranate and rose, with white pepper […]

Inkwell Infidels Primitivo 2022
$30.00Inkwell make zinfandel and primitivo. Same, same, essentially. But the different blocks perform differently, so the nomenclature reflects that. This is genuinely reminiscent of Puglian primitivo, resplendent with dried fruits, currants, fig and date, blackberry, and hit heavily with spices, in an amaro and panforte register, anise to the fore, and underwritten by a dry, […]

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2018
$60.00Tasted alongside the 2017, the 2018 vintage is warmer and drier, and so fuller, with a slightly darker fruit profile and pronounced structure. Gorgeous aromatics of cola, aniseed, cassis, rose, geranium, bitumen and savoury spice. Rich and full flavoured, but in no way heavy and the overall impression is one of translucence and purity. Round […]

Traviarti Nebbiolo 2023
$75.00Understated aromatics, but nothing a good swirl and cupping of glass won’t sort out! Black/hedge and red fruits, ruby grapefruit, a little reductive, smokey, alpine herbs, licorice and pink peppercorns. A totally different beast to the Black Springs; deeper and more brooding.

Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2024
$35.0060/40% Marmont vineyard grenache/Paralian-owned Springs Hill vineyard shiraz. The most fruit-forward and ‘primal’ barrels are selected for this.

La Petite Mort Saperavi 2022
$42.00Without doubt, the finest Saperavi in Australia. Made traditionally in Amphorae, left on skins for 180 days and a small dash of Sulphur the only addition. Yet despite this, the tannins are silky and the fruit vivid and fresh. Deeper than the 2020, brooding, with blackberry, mulberry, plum, blackcurrant and raspberry. There’s a ferrous element […]

Stargazer Pinot Noir 2023
$70.00A beautifully pure, flint-struck Coal River Valley pinot noir from Sam Connew this year, perhaps showing a little more concentration than the previous release but losing none of the grace, detail and inherent drinkability that we love. Red fruits, wild strawberry and dark cherry fruits, five-spice, dried citrus rind, rose petals, hoisin, turned undergrowth and […]

$75.00Trott vineyard, ’52-planted bush vines, about 60% whole bunch with a very gentle extraction, matured in seasoned Austrian oak, ceramic and sandstone amphora. The Trott vineyard often throws darker fruits and moodier florals, and they’re here, yet the core remains red fruited and the structure is agreeably tense, a conduit for the twin charge of […]

Decades Pinot Noir 2023
$78.00Is there more promise for Tasmanian chardonnay or pinot noir, or in a sense, are they equal? Considering the Decades chardonnay and pinot noir are off the same vineyard and the wines are as they are, I find i cannot apportion preference. Fragrant; it’s so beautifully alive with lavender and violets, clove, smoked paprika and […]
