Bellebonne-bis NV Rose
$45.00Strawberries and cream, raspberry and roses, all with wonderful clarity. Brioche notes are offset by that saline quality and again the chalky mouthfeel. So bright and engaging, you can taste the ripe grapes are utterly pristine. Fresh, engaging and incredibly moreish. The best value and most delicious pink fizz at this price in Australia. Waters […]

Meadowbank Riesling 2023
$39.00Aromatic and open with Gardenia, lemon, saltbush, dried oregano, grapefruit, pawpaw and green mango. Rich and almost full bodied, indeed I’m not sure we’ve ever had a Tasmanian Riesling with such dimensions and depth as this. For all its size and opulent shape, it’s very focused and structured, the richness of fruit tensioned by minerals, […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2020
$60.002020 was a tiny vintage at Sailor Seeks Horse in the Huon Valley, yielding just 2 t/ha. But the long, cool growing season has produced wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Pressing Matters R9 Riesling 2021
$40.00A touch of residual sugar does marvellous things in lifting the exoticism of orange-blossom fragrance, tying down unwieldy, cool-season acidity and drawing out magnificent persistence. A compelling core of crunchy Granny Smith apple and pitch-perfect lime and lemon are charged with tremendous stamina. 94 points – Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion Shop all Dessert wines […]

Stunning aromatics of Hoisin, Chinese Five Spice, blackberry, cassis, rhubarb, sweet raspberry, lavender soap, fennel and camphor. Pure and translucent, sensual and slick. Concentrated, elegant and mineral. Snaking shape, threading flavour and texture together. Spice flecked […]
