Savage Thief in the Night 2021
$55.00The Thief in the Night cuvee is a wine that increasingly pushes the solo message of premium Grenache despite still having minor blend components of 7.5% Syrah and 6.5% Cinsault, the ‘salt and pepper’ of the wine. This beautifully pristine Piekenierskloof Grenache from dry farmed bush vines grown on sandstone soils underwent spontaneous fermentation with […]

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 […]

Yeringberg Shiraz 2018
$85.00Always the most overtly structured of the Yeringberg offerings, the 2018 vintage Shiraz has a tannic presence rarely seen in Australia. Medium bodied, tightly wound, and needing vigorous coaxing, when it does finally appear, the intensity of entry is worth the wait. Gripping the mouth with firm, coating tannins offering red fruits, blueberry, lavender, camphor, […]

Vanguardist Mourvedre 2022
$65.00About as refined as you could imagine, with immense detail, poise, balance and beautiful texture. Like the Grenache this is very aromatic, but with black, briary and red fruits, flecked with potpourri, black olive and garrigue herbs. The tertiary element is in no way rustic and at the forefront is perfectly ripe, cool fruit. Texturally […]

MMAD Grenache 2022
$75.00The second release of the MMAD Vineyard label, and off its 1939-planted Blewitt Springs vineyard. About 15% whole bunches, fermented in wood and steel, maturation in concrete and large old French oak. Unlike the 2022 shiraz, this takes time to emerge from the glass. It’s all there, though. There’s a brooding quality at present, with […]

The aromas are outstandingly deep and bright and youthfully fresh; violets, red and blue fruits rocketing out of the glass, oak barely visible in the background.

Eisenstone Ebenezer Shiraz 2021
$85.00A brighter and more floral creation. Even though it has the Eisenstone signature traits of earth-driven, blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, there are lighter moments and a smoother texture here, which means you can crack on relatively soon, which is a bonus! I think this cuvée gives me a few extra hints about what might […]

Daniel Bouland Morgon Corcelette 2021
$58.00Wild, sensual and exotic. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, blood plum, lavender and marzipan. Tangy red fruits dominate the palate, but it’s rhubarb that coats it, gifting the wine length and layered texture. Mineral as always, the plum skin and rhubarb texture giving way to velvet. Playful, absorbing. Waters Wine Co Click here for our full […]

Bachelet-Monnot Maranges 1er Cru Les Prarons Dessus 2020
$100.00“The 2020 Santenay Prarons Dessus presents a tightly wound, tertiary bouquet that opens almost reluctantly in the glass. The palate is well balanced and quite saline, and the 25% whole bunches are nicely integrated. Rather spicy with a touch of balsamic toward the finish. So much freshness and vibrancy in this Santenay! Excellent.” 90-92 points, Neal […]

Juxtaposed Wait Vineyard Grenache 2021
$50.00Sumptuous grenache, with incredibly intense aromatics, perfectly pitched palate weight, balance and tension. There is a tangy sweetness to the hedge fruit compote; blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, plum and raspberry. Certainly darker and sweeter fruit than the Smart vineyard grenache and this is offset by savoury elements. Chocolate orange, fennel, baking spices and Jacaranda flower drop. […]

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. […]

$90.00Animated and floral, with whole bunches evident, but not defining. Compote of brambly fruit, lavender, mulberry, blackberry, rhubarb, cinnamon and clove. Cool and sleek, super bright, fresh and intense, the longer elevage seemingly to heighten the elements rather than dull them.

Albino Rocca Nebbiolo d’Alba 2020

Wild cherry, cedar, tobacco, spice, dried herbs and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that open in the glass. Mid-weight structure and polished tannins add to its considerable appeal.” 93 […]
