Home Hill Estate Pinot Noir 2023
$65.00This 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.

Place of Changing Winds Heathcote Syrah 2021
$60.00Superficially an outsider in the range, coming from classic Heathcote Cambrian soil, known for producing wines of incredible richness and power. But it’s not an outsider, the power harnessed and controlled by the best in the business. Certainly the Heart of Darkness of the range; the richest, most dangerous, darkest and deepest wine. Masses of […]

A Rodda Willow Lake Vineyard Yarra Chardonnay 2022
$55.00Almost invariably the most sought after wine of the release, no doubt due to the fame of this vineyard. A real statement of Yarra cool, waving the flag for contemporary Australian Chardonnay, pioneered in the Yarra Valley. Almost Puligny like in it’s initial aromatic reticence and floral notes. But with a bit of warmth, comes […]

Christophe et Fils Vieilles Vignes Chablis 2022
$65.00Coiled, cool and tense, a rockier road than the estate’s Chablis. Aromas of lemon, lime zest, gardenia, grapefruit and green apple. Full of tension, Riesling like in breadth and crystal cut acidity. Very refreshing, linear in shape, with just enough fruit to blunt the sword. Very long, the carry goes on and on with a […]

Hochkirch Villages Pinot Noir 2021
$50.00This is 100% estate fruit, 25% whole bunches were retained while the balance of the crop was destemmed. A wild ferment was in small open vats and the juice had about three to four days rest before some gentle foot-stomping and a daily plunge. Everything was pressed after 14 days into tank, and then gravity-fed […]

Traviarti Chardonnay 2023
$50.00Aged in 600 litre Stockinger demi muids, it’s a testament to the richness and depth of fruit that the oak plays only a supporting role. 2023 is a cool, wet vintage and this is looking very Chablis-like, with its silky texture, mineral grip, oyster shell and long line of salinity. Medium bodied, rounder in shape […]

Mullineux Straw Wine 2021 (375ml)
$90.00Gosh! this is a tough one to describe as we have not really tasted anything quite like this. Expressive bouquet of lime marmalade, lavender honey, apricot, yellow peach, fig and cherry. Luscious and intense with thrusting acidity and slightly textured. There is a reductive nutty element that balance’s the sweetness of the wine, but there’s […]

Lambert Wines Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A delight to just smell, let alone drink, the stony Denton soils shine through scents of ripe citrus fruits and white flowers. Texturally too, it is simply gorgeous, with compact, chalky weight aligned to lithe acidity, a whisper of grip and pent-up energy. Poised, driven and sustained, it’s Yarra Valley Chardonnay at the peak of […]

Polperro Estate Pinot Noir 2023
$60.00One of the best estate pinto noirs in Australia and ridiculous value for money. Medium to full bodied with aromas of blackberry, lavender, 5 spice, dark cherry, plum and cranberry. Sleek and voluminous, not a ‘light’ wine by any means. Sweet and tangy fruit, cake spice, oak spice, petrichor and a ferrous quality, unusual for […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2019
$75.00Gorgeous 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 93 points […]

Nocturne Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$58.00Lifted aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, tobacco, cherry, mint and sandalwood. A thoroughly classic Margaret River Cabernet, it’s seriousness a statement of intent. The tannins provide shape, structure tertiary flavours, very much defining the wine at this early stage. Firm and authoritative, the fruit pure, black and hedge. Oyster shell, soy and tobacco notes are prominent […]

La Battistelle ‘Battistelle’ Soave Classico 2021
$40.00Despite being a single vineyard and not a blend like the Montesei, there are similarities. Wildly complex, with white flowers, honeysuckle, lemon zest, grapefruit, white peach, orchard fruits and mustard seed. Deep and focused with greater amplitude and a peacocks tail of flavour and texture. The palate is at once succulent and light on its […]

Te Mata Elston Chardonnay 2021

Crawford River Riesling 2023
$52.00Very light, bright yellow colour with a haunting fresh fragrance of lemon-peel, lime juice and high-toned estery floral notes. The wine is tremendously intense and rich in the mouth, lifted in the core by a tickle of sweetness which niftily counteracts the quite high acidity. There is a firmness that stops just short of austerity. […]

Akutain Reserva Rioja 2017
$80.00One 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 […]

Paralian Marmont Vineyard Grenache 2022
$45.00Sumptuous grenache. Just because it’s grown on sand doesn’t mean it has to be light, or pretty, or boney, or cliche of all cliches, have sandy tannins. It is pretty and the tannins are ‘pumicey’ and grainy, but this Paralian grenache always has power, weight, density and a savouriness, harmonising the sweet fruit. The fruit […]

Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Quite different from the 2021 vintage, being more open and less structured. Very complex, with notes cashew, rockmelon, white peach, spring jasmine, butter white cherry and preserved mango. Succulent and luscious, the palate displays some darker yellow fruit, the acidity tightening the palate and applying a little more sinew and structure. A chardonnay lover’s chardonnay. […]

Swinney Syrah 2021
$45.00Shiraz/Syrah and Australia. It just works. The 2021 is quiet different from previous releases; rounder in shape, ample with finer, lacier tannins. Not so sleek or linear and a dialling back of the mouth puckering mineral acidity. Blueberry, sweet cherry, violets, raspberry and delicate spice. Plush, without any sense of heaviness, a triumph of a […]
