Torres Celeste Ribera del Duero Crianza 2018
$40.00Fascinating deep, dark cherry red colour. Intense, concentrated aromas of blackberry and blueberry fruit, revealing notes of ripe figs and an exquisite smoky, graphite streak. Velvety and flavourful on the palate with fine-grained tannins. Oak ageing endows the wine with fine notes of bitter cocoa and coffee. At 895 metres altitude you can almost touch […]

A Rodda Tempranillo 2018
$36.00Classic Tempranillo flavours of cherry cola, sarsaparilla, blue/black fruits and dried flowers. Juicy and vibrant, with a touch of sage. Tight, tight needing time in the glass to unwind. Immensely satisfying wine. Waters Wine Co.

La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2016
$55.00Gorgeous nose of creaming soda, nutmeg, cherry, raspberry and thyme. Plush and round in shape, with strong oak influence and some tertiary notes poking through. Aniseed, sandalwood, cinnamon, vanilla and sweet Jamon. These I suspect will become more prominent with time. Utterly idiosyncratic and a beautiful introduction to traditional Rioja. Waters Wine Co Aromas of […]

Samuel’s Gorge Tempranillo 2020
$40.00Australian tempranillo has never looked better and this is one of the best. Cola, blackcurrant, fennel, vanilla, mulberry, cherry and balsamic notes. Elegant and textural with an incredible mouthfeel that begins velvet, becoming fluffy, lanolin like. Bargain. Waters Wine Co A relatively brief sojourn in oak (9 mths) parlays well with a brighter and fresher […]

Akutain Reserva Rioja 2015
$65.00One of the finest traditional Reservas on the market and incredible value. If this was Bordeaux or Burgundy, the price would be much higher. Blackcurrant, plum, cranberry, raspberry, aniseed, tobacco, vanilla, violets and cola. Medium to full bodied, incredibly fresh and vibrant, certainly firm and serious. Flecks of savoury spice, dried fruit and firm mineral […]

Akutain Cosecha Rioja 2019
$40.00Aged in neutral oak, this is brimming with bright fruit, but you can still see some tertiary notes, denoting traditional Rioja. Fruit driven and medium bodied with blackberry, plum, raspberry, tobacco, aniseed and cut flowers. The fruit is sweet and tangy, buoyed by sandy, grippy tannins and mouthwatering acidity. An absolute delight to drink. One […]

Condado De Haza Ribera del Duero Crianza 2018
$50.00Perhaps a little less plush than than the Pesquera Crianza’s, with more earth and ferrous notes. It’s not rustic, a little less fine perhaps, but I love it’s burliness. Spice laden, dark fruits, some crunchy red ones too, lavender wood, smoke and bay leaf. Presence of chew, the tannins a rougher velvet and a vibrancy […]

Dehasa La Granja Tinto 2007
$40.00There is hardly any development, well, there is some, but considering the age, remarkable. If you were under the impression that tempranillo doesn’t age well, you would be incorrect. Tasting a raft of 2007 Bordeaux’s recently, some of them 10 times the price, it had me wondering why we don’t drink more Spanish wines. Aromatic, […]

Pesquera Ribera del Duero Tinto Crianza 2018
$65.00A real mouthful of warm, fruit-coated deliciousness. Just about the richest Crianza on the market. Seductive dark fruits of cassis, plum and dark cherry. Lavender, cola, sweet liquorice, dark chocolate and coal. Still there’s vibrancy, almost playful, amongst the weight and heft of forceful, hessian-like tannins. Balanced and long, and the overall impression is that […]
