Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico 2019
$60.00Morello cherry, lavender, plum, tobacco leaf, sandalwood and blood orange aromatics. Medium bodied and refined, a very well balanced Chianti Classico that is nonetheless branded with powdery, skinsy tannins. Terrific volume of fruit, plush and sensual mouthfeel and piquant acidity that is as sculptural as it is moreish. One of the best Classisco’s we’ve tasted […]

Ravensworth Sangiovese 2021
$30.00If someone were to ask what a Sangiovese tasted like, this is the wine I would put in front of them. Lavender wood, cherry, tobacco and brambly fruit. Vivid, juicy and savoury, I love the brightness of the fruit, coupled with savoury firm tannins. Mid weight and so much vibrancy to pair with so many […]

Isole e Olena Chianti Classico 2019
$55.00Good chianti can be hard to find, often light and raw or over oaked and bigger than a Barossa shiraz. Isole e Olena’s Chianti are none of those things! Crimson in colour with sour cherry and bramble notes. The palate has a subtle, lithe character full of perfumed fruit and is given depth by a […]

Badia a Coltibuono Cultusboni Cetamura Chianti 2020
$38.00All of Badia a Coltibuono’s Chiantis share the same DNA and it is evident throughout all the wines. Classic, poised and balanced. Certainly the softest, plumpest and fruit driven of the three releases, with less tertiary elements. Red fruits, dried flowers, tobacco and the lovely skinsy Sangiovese tannins that hold it all together. Perfect bistro/restaurant […]

Uccelliera Rosso di Montalcino 2019
$57.00A wine to keep you company. Served from a decanter, totally expressive and open. Cassis, blackberry, cherry thyme and star anise exude a depth of presence that would warm the cockles of the most discerning Brunello drinker. Full bodied, but not heavy. There’s a lightness of touch in the bright and vivid fruit. Some earthy […]

Badia a Coltibuono Chianti Classico Riserva 2017
$90.00Sangiovese as Burgundy. Lifted aromatics of red and dark cherry, dried cranberry, raspberry, lavender, geranium and sage. Expansive palate, with an almost effortless poise. Medium bodied, vivid, the tannins absorbed by the longer wood ageing, making them longer, sculptural and melting. Wonderful interplay of fresh, crunchy red fruits, earth, herbs, spice and flowers. Very long […]

Mallaluka Sangiovese 2021
$31.00One of the best Sangiovese’s in Australia, and a masterclass of the variety’s flavours and texture. Quite light in colour and very fragrant. Cherries, cranberry, lavender wood, sage and tobacco. Medium bodied, sleek, with grippy, chewy tannins. Loads of acidity, so very fresh! Terrific wine, that screams for food. Waters Wine Co 70% Gundagai fruit, […]

Fontodi Chianti Classico 2018
$85.00I always find Fontodi’s Chianti Classico to have impressive amplitude and weight, especially when you consider some of the skinny versions available. Like so many Italian varieties, you can never be to0 sure what you’re going to get. Great producers however, know who and what they are and the 2018 is magisterial. In fact I […]

Voliero Rosso di Montalcino 2019
$52.00The 2019 Rosso di Montalcino lifts up with a pretty herbal and floral display, gaining richness with time in the glass, as wild strawberries and brown spice come forward with hints of white pepper and smoke. It boasts silky textures over a medium-bodied frame, with masses of ripe red and black berries contrasted by salty […]

La Torre Rosso di Montalcino 2019
$60.00Beautiful aromatics of fresh cherry, blueberry, plum, sweet cranberry, violets, leather, tobacco and savoury spice. Generous, almost full bodied with a soft palate and chewy, gourmand tannins. More straight forward than the Brunello’s, the fruit is fresher. Terrific value and ever so versatile. Waters Wine Co The Torre estate in Sant’Angelo is planted to 5.6 […]

La Torre Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2016
$225.00Discreet nose, almost closed, but with plenty of vigorous swirling, a stunning aromatic tapestry emerges. Blood plum, red cherry, blueberry, cocoa, lavender, blood orange, dried flowers, cigar, sandalwood and polished leather. Texturally complex. Sleek, puckering and tannic, and it’s this combination that sets Brunello apart from other grapes. Very fine and elemental, expansive across the […]

La Torre Brunello di Montalcino 2017
$130.00Black cherry, red cherry, plum, lavender, cassis, dried herbs, lavender wood, tobacco and leather. Sensuous and expressive, full bodied, but with a lightness of touch that makes you forget about its tannic presence. The carry is very long and here the tannins kick in – robust and burley, carried by fine acidity. Earthy elements of […]
