Fragrant, savoury spice, blackcurrant, lavender, glace cherry, autumn leaves, cured meat, Provencal herbs and pink peppercorn. The firmest, most savoury and mineral of the estate wines.

Iggy Springton Eden Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00There’s no mistaking where this comes from. Super vibrant aromatics of violets, cassis, kirsch, chocolate, blueberry, raspberry and charcoal. Rich and full bodied. Very powerful indeed, yet with precision and a sort of tactile grace. Some subtle sweet meat and game notes, which will no doubt come through more as the wine ages. Still, the […]

Stonegarden Field Blend Grenache 2020
$65.00Richer, deeper and burlier than the straight Grenache. 85% of this blend is Grenache, with the difference made up of Mataro, Shiraz, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is from a warmer part of the vineyard, with heavier soils and the fruit is correspondingly darker. Rounder in shape, wilder, with more exotic notes of cocoa, smoke, […]

Lalu Langhe Nebbiolo 2021
$90.00Organic. This vibrant, perfumed Nebbiolo equally blends two sites that were both planted by Lalù. The first site, Roncaglie in La Morra, is a plot of land that Lara Rocchetti and Luisa Sala bought in 2015 and planted in 2017. Looking towards Verduno, this parcel faces east at an altitude of 400 metres. It’s a […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Junction Chardonnay 2022
$65.00This is the style of chardonnay that put Mac Forbes on the map – tight, saline, intense and mouthwatering. Green apple, citrus – fresh, preserved, and acacia honey, pink grapefruit and white peach. Super tense and tight, the skin contact adding just that little bit of texture and mid palate oomph. Very long, never deviating […]

Thibaud Boudignon Rose de Loire 2022
$50.00‘The 2022 Rosé de Loire displays a smokey mix of crushed apples and wet stones. Sour citrus and tart orchard fruits nicely contrast a pleasant inner sweetness. A mineral staining lingers while the 2022 finishes fresh and with a crunchy sensation.’ Eric Guido, Vinous, May 2023. Substantially Cabernet Franc (80%), with some Grolleau (20%), […]

Albino Rocca Nebbiolo d’Alba 2020
$55.00Out of Stock
“The 2020 Nebbiolo d’Alba emerges from the part of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio that is in Alba (as opposed to in Barbaresco). Wild cherry, cedar, tobacco, spice, dried herbs and blood orange are some of the many aromas and flavors that open in the glass. Mid-weight structure and polished tannins add to its considerable appeal.” 93 […]

Rall Grenache Blanc 2019
$50.00Out of Stock
The nose shows a little reduction before lemon, naartjie (mandarin), stone fruit, cut apple and a little nuttiness. Rich and broad with seemingly quite moderate acidity, round without being too leesy, this is a more generous vintage than usual. 92 Points – Christian Eedes, Winemag.co.za The grapes for this wine come from dry-farmed bush vines […]

Magnificent shiraz, with blueberry, blackberry, sweet English summer fruits, geranium, licorice, clove, black olive and almond paste. Succulent and juicy, with vibrancy and curve, the wine’s structural elements, shaping yet not defining. Savoury elements of fresh compost, oyster and squid ink buttress the pure and pristine […]

$75.00Classic Barossa, classic. Blackcurrant, mint, chocolate, glace cherries, ferrous, blackberry, maple and sweet raspberry.

$65.00From the Far Horse Block of the Meadowbank vineyard, situated in the Derwent Valley, Southern Tasmania and planted in 2000.

Loewen’s wines possess that rare combination succulence, breadth and richness, tensioned by intense acidity and mineral presence.

Cavallotto Dolcetto D’Alba Vigna Scot DOC 2020
$50.00Dolcetto is not known for it’s ageing potential, but I had a theory that Dolcetto aged in large format and not in steel could defy conventional wisdom. So I served this to myself and heathen friends who shouldn’t by rights ever like a wine like this. Beautifully fragrant with sweet raspberry, English Strawberry and redcurrant, […]

Tillie J Aligote 2024
$40.00Aligote has become trendy, presumably because in Burgundy at least, it’s hard to tell the difference with chardonnay and they are invariably cheaper. Ironically, I find it’s more varietal in Australia, being more linear than chardonnay and fine boned. Tillie J’s is remarkable, a shock really, it’s just so damn good and so damn cheap! […]

Domaine la Remejeanne Cotes du Rhone Les Chevrefeuilles Rouge 2022
$39.00I once heard from a Californian wine grower that syrah (or shiraz) was a chameleon of a grape variety, adapting itself to a plentitude of environment’s, wine making techniques and varietal bedfellows. It is for me, the greatest French varietal of them all. I was so taken by Remejeanne’s Chevrefeuilles rouge for it’s freshness, complexity, […]

MMAD Rose 2024
$38.00The second release of rosé for MMAD, and from all varieties on the old vineyard: grenache, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and chenin blanc. Like the 2023, the proportions are a mystery, and lifted herbal notes of cabernet again lead the aromatics, but the colour has been dialled down to a classic coral pink. Grenache lends red-fruited […]
