Holyman Pinot Noir 2024
$60.00Despite the light colour, pouring the wine releases an immense bouquet. I know we’re in for a treat! Expressive and vibrant with plum, cherry, raspberry, blackberry and five spice. Deep, succulent and complex and so much presence and grip. Tannins are very fine, that seem to tighten towards the close. Scaffolding acidity, with the length […]

By Farr Shiraz 2024
$110.00This is always so, so good. It’s complex which I love, as so often this grape is one dimensional. There is more than a note of ripe fruit, there is graphite, black olives, it feels silky yet there is a note of ocean spray, a faint yet lovely salinity, then follows the spice. There is […]

Stargazer Pinot Noir 2024
$70.00“An exuberant nose of red cherry, pomegranate, violets, sarsaparilla, and thyme. The lifted pretty aromatics give way to similar vibrant spice on the palate. There is plenty of lush generous fruit alongside juicy red cherries, supported by clove, nutmeg and five spice. Soft velvet like tannins work with the bright acid to contribute to a […]

Corymbia Rocket’s Vineyard Tempranillo Malbec 2023
$40.00“Love this drink as it’s savoury, spicy, intriguing, delicious and more. A perfect counterplay between acidity and tannins, fruit and savoury inputs, the reductive winemaking creating part of the latter. Dark cherries and kirsch, raspberries all dusted with brown spice, nori, slatey with a distinct ferrous note. The mid-weighted palate is juicy and tangy yet […]

Gentle Folk Pinot Noir 2024
$45.00“While not straying from its usual form, this release is slightly more savoury and earthy – an honest blend of fruit from all the estate vineyards, plus a little addition from Uraidla. Bramble and moss, orange rind and dried fig – this is fruit broken open to the air of a cold autumnal dusk. It’s […]

Tillie J Langhorne Creek Grenache 2024
$35.00Grenache has to be one of the most diverse grapes planted in Australia, reflected by the plethora of styles being crafted. Tillie J’s is delightful. Described to us as a Beaujolais style, I thought it somewhere between a Brouilly and Southern Rhone red. Compote of black, bramble and red fruits, with cut flowers, licorice, five […]

Sylvain Cathiard Hautes Cotes de Nuits Les Dames Huguette 2023
$245.00A fine glowing pinkish purple. The most elegant of the three in bouquet. And a little the deepest in fruit with a ripe strawberry fruit that is very appealing. Almost quite sensual at the finish and though the oak is quite present in youth, this will all come together very nicely. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted […]

Crystallum Mabalel Pinot Noir 2024
$85.00Peter-Allan Finlayson avoids using any whole clusters on Mabalel, as the Elandskloof stems tend to be greener and less lignified. Very much a cool climate style, it has impressive poise, focus and elegance, sappy redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit, perfumed 20% new wood, appealing zip and minerality and the structure to evolve gracefully in bottle.

Made from 100% Sangiovese and aged for 14 months in Slovenian oak, the ageing has burred some of Sangiovese’s angular structure, without sacrificing any brightness or energy. Tangy and pure with fruits of blackberry, cassis, […]
