Yangarra GSM 2020
$30.00A 60/22/18% blend, a lovely wine from a lovely vintage. It’s not an ounce over medium-bodied, but it articulates the place, varieties and the year with utmost clarity. Fine tannins are stitched through the scarlet taffeta of the perfectly pitched palate. 95 Points – James Halliday, The Weekend Australian, 9 March 2019 (2019 vintage)

$50.00100% whole bunch. Usually the different grapes in a blend are fermented separately but not here, where the Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro and Cinsault were fermented together. Hand-harvested across 3 days, the grapes were pitch-forked into an open top fermenter and trodden. Basket pressed and aged in oak barrels for a savoury profile. Full, firm and […]

La Petite Mort Shiraz Viognier 2018
$30.00Out of Stock
This rich, ripe and generous Shiraz is full of jammy black fruit with blood plums and blackberries. Co-fermenting Shiraz and Viognier grapes has a particular magic about it, creating a spicy and savoury deliciousness. All this richness and generosity is well supported and balanced by some time in cedary French and spicy American oak. Hand-picked, […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2015
$100.00A giant leap into the La Rioja Alta nexus of sweet fruit and rich, tannic power. Cherry cola, mushroom compost, red fruits, blueberry, cigar box and cinnamon. Rich, almost full bodied, the fruit is ripe and glossy, the tannins, initially tight, but sweeten and melt with time in the glass. A terrific combination of charm […]

La Rioja Alta 904 Gran Reserva 2011
$190.00The most traditional of wines, and one of my favourites from anywhere. Dried flowers, dried herbs, plum, blueberry, cherry, blackcurrant, sage, lavender, balsamic and tobacco. Presence. Ethereal and charming, with a lightness of touch, all the flavours and nuance threaded silkily together. And power. An iron fist in velvet glove kind of power, as the […]

Walsh & Sons Lola 2019
$26.00One of the best value wine’s we have tasted in a very long time. A blend of Syrah, Cabernet and Grenache, the blend might seem unlikely, but it works tremendously. Plenty to smell here; dried flowers, blackcurrant, plum, raspberry and spice. Ample palate, that coats the mouth in flavour, but without any heaviness or astringency. […]

Domaine Gramenon Cotes du Rhone La Belle Sortie 2020

It is made with 80% Grenache from the new vineyard blended with 20% Syrah from the Gramenon estate.

Savage Are We There Yet 2019
$50.00Last year I noted early on that the 2018 Are We There Yet cuvee had really found another quality gear on previous vintages. Looking back, this was genuinely born out in the real world as this slightly quirky Malgas red blend ended up selling out in the UK market even faster than many of the […]

Chateau Bernadotte 2015
$55.00One of the stand out Cru Bourgeois I was able to taste is the 2015 Château Bernadotte which checks in as 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, and the balance Petit Verdot, aged 12 months in one-third new barrels. It’s a terrific, floral, seamless, medium-bodied beauty that offers fine tannin, a silky texture, and integrated acidity. […]

Standish Wine Co The Relic 2020
$140.00Out of Stock
This is the best I’ve seen it. There’s something about the combination of the hot year and the diminished yields—it has recoiled and recompressed the Viognier on top of and into the Shiraz and brought them into balance/harmony. Beneath its floral and stone fruit guiles is a pool of savory, muscular, red-dirt Shiraz. There is […]

Swinney Mourvedre Syrah Grenache 2020
$40.00Of all the wines that Swinney produces, the Mourvedre Syrah Grenache blend is the hardest to sell. Rob Mann’s favourite wine in the range, and its easy to see why. It would be a mistake to think that it takes a little of the Syrah and a little of the Grenache, mix in the Mourvedre […]

Chateau Le Puy Cote des Francs Emilien 2016
$95.002016 was an excellent year for Bordeaux and so it was for Le Puy. Darker fruited than the 2015 vintage with attractive garnet colour and purplish hues. The nose is complex; with blueberry, cassis and redcurrant, hints at sous-bois and gravel. Still medium-bodied, it is very precise, with fine tannins paving the way for a very long […]
