By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2024
$110.00Every year, it’s a tussle to decide my preference; Sangreal or Farrside. A warmer, even vintage 2024, without extremes and there seems a certain evenness to the two pinots, they are so well appointed. Another feature of this release is their apparent openness, so much so that I cannot remember these two wines tasting so […]

Home Hill Estate Pinot Noir 2023
$55.00This is a beguiling and dreamy wine. Translucent, deep ruby/magenta with a harmonious bouquet of dark, jubey fruit, subtle florals, spicy rolling tobacco and wet stone. The nose certainly promises a lot and the palate delivers in spades. Smooth, soft, full and ripe – red and dark cherries mingle with chalky, ultra-fine tannins with enough […]

Place of Changing Winds Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir 2023
$135.00A phenomenally individualistic wine and the most emblematic pinot noir that I have had from Place of Changing Winds. There is tension everywhere. Sleek shape and structure, with high toned fruit notes of blueberry, hedge fruits, black and red, with cut flowers Indian spices, sweet and savoury, vanilla and mint. There is a brooding quality, […]

Gembrook Hill Estate Pinot Noir 2025
$65.00One of Australia’s finest pinot noirs that shames many overpriced icons. As always, simple winemaking; complex results. Destemmed completely, cold soaked and fermented naturally, with 3 weeks on skins (a long time for pinot noir) and matured in French wood, Hogsheads, 20% new. Unfined and unfiltered. Perfume, such perfume. Summer fruit compote, perhaps a bit […]

Irrewarra Pinot Noir 2024
$75.00A high proportion of whole bunches brings lift and aromatic complexity, building into a mid-palate of real flesh and weight, framed by finely wrought, cashmere-like tannins. The fruit is pure and expressive—compote of red and darker berries layered with lifted florals – while savoury nuances of spice, cured meat, earth and a subtle ferrous edge […]

The 2023 is the first vintage where all the fruit for the Landslide comes off estate vines, albeit young vines. Potential plus however. This is very serious and delicious. Deep […]

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 […]

Gembrook Hill Village Pinot Noir 2025
$38.00A taste of Gembrook Hill’s quality and style, though not from their vineyards. Classic Yarra Valley Pinot notes of English strawberry, raspberry, poached plum, violets and a hint of fresh compost. The aromatics are incisive and vibrant, with vivid, translucent fruit. Medium to full-bodied, it’s plush and pillowy, with more depth and weight than expected – […]

By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir 2024
$140.00An older vineyard than the Farrside, planted in 1994 and, for me, the Farr’s most unique expression of pinot noir. The long even vintage has yielded a wine of spotless cut, with the colours and profiles of the four seasons. Never has it been more immediate and impudent, it’s so pinot, but no other pinot […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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.
