$65.00The wine world, like any other, is faddish and if you were to think of sparkling wine, any sparkling wine, the Hunter valley would be pretty far down the list, if not at all. But Tyrrell’s can always be relied upon to make at the very least, ‘good’ wine and some the greatest of all. […]

Paul Bara Grand Millesime Brut 2014
$155.00A Champagne of great immediacy, instantly showing itself. The exuberance of pinot noir, with homey, ripe cherry, raspberry, strawberry, violets and mint. Bara’s Champagnes are never too rich, almost always balanced with some zesty chardonnay and the fact that there is never any malolactic fermentation. Rich and vinous with great pinot character, cashew, savoury spice, […]

Gosset Grand Blanc de Blancs NV Brut
$165.00Too many Blanc de Blancs are sour and overtly mineral, making them difficult to enjoy, let alone drink. Gosset as ever manages to assemble a Champagne of completeness, a combination of invigorating freshness and a blanket of texture and fruit. At first subtle, but that doesn’t last as the beautiful aromas of burnt butter, nougat, […]

Gosset Celebris Rose 2008
$425.00I like to drink Champagne, like any other wine and to not sip. I critique Champagne no differently to any other wine, the attributes of concentration, complexity of flavour, textural evenness, length of presence and the harmony of elements. So when I tasted Gosset’s Celebris Rose 2008, I knew instantly I was in the presence […]
