Crystallum The Agnes Chardonnay 2023
$55.00Sea shells, flint and yellow stone fruits show on the nose ahead of a full, mouth-coating palate with elements of golden delicious apple, salted caramel, lime and beeswax. The finish is saline and long, recalling the ocean with a nori-like character to the lingering aftertaste. Generous but expertly balanced. Winemaker’s Notes

Saltfleet Grenache 2024
$40.00There’s an understatement to this. That’s not meant as detriment. It’s the thing about Saltfleet, from a youthful pair that crammed in intense experience with top mentors. There’s a maturity to the wines, a lack of flashiness. They go to the heart of things swiftly. So, there’s a certain refinement. There’s a little reduction, too, […]

Grosset Alea Riesling 2024
$45.00Alea holds some additional sweetness as its canon. There’s an appealing and ultra-high drinkability here. Charm in spades. Floral scents of frangipani and lemon blossom with candied ginger, lime juice, just-ripe pineapple and tonic water. Similar to taste with a slipperiness to texture that feels well metered by the building crispness of the finish. More […]

The palate is mid-weighted, with a bright line of acidity and a textural mouthfeel cut through by high-tension freshness. A delicious chardonnay with real purity, grown on […]

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2023
Original price was: $45.00.$39.00Current price is: $39.00.From the two oldest blocks on the Bondar-owned Rayner vineyard. The 1960 vines are on clay and limestone; the 1950s, being the major component, on deep sand with ironstone. Andre Bondar is never going to pursue rich styles, but this bottling usually has a little more supple generosity. That’s still true here, with a sultry […]

Stargazer Pinot Noir 2023
$70.00A beautifully pure, flint-struck Coal River Valley pinot noir from Sam Connew this year, perhaps showing a little more concentration than the previous release but losing none of the grace, detail and inherent drinkability that we love.

Domaine Naturaliste Artus Chardonnay 2023
$55.00An immense wine of flavour, stuffing, structure and intensity. It’s also a chardonnay that demonstrates the sheer lavishness of the varietal and the extreme quality of the fruit and winemaker.

Moreau-Naudet Petit Chablis 2022

Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Grenache 2024
$75.00Trott vineyard, ’52-planted bush vines, about 60% whole bunch with a very gentle extraction, matured in seasoned Austrian oak, ceramic and sandstone amphora. The Trott vineyard often throws darker fruits and moodier florals, and they’re here, yet the core remains red fruited and the structure is agreeably tense, a conduit for the twin charge of […]

Domenica Chardonnay 2025

The wine is light, crisp and fresh in the mouth, with a stony minerality, very lightly played oak and emphasises the more-ishness and appetising properties of chardonnay. Refreshing acidity cleanses the finish making it a more Chablis-like iteration of the grape. […]

Reed Siren Riesling 2023

Rich, succulent and full bodied with flavours of honeycomb, blackcurrant, cherry, rose, fresh lime, candied lime, peach, passionfruit, oats and grapefruit. Deep, and despite […]
