Domaine de Ferrand Cotes du Rhone Mistral 2020
$30.00The 2020 Côtes Du Rhône ‘Mistral’ is another great value wine from this benchmark estate. Astonishing colour and vibrancy in the wine glass. Concentration, freshness and length of flavour quite incredible for this price point. Simply an astonishingly good, authentic Côtes Du Rhône! Philippe Bravay’s domaine is tiny (only 5.5 hectares) and the vines are situated […]

Kerri Greens Pinots de Mornington Rose 2021
$28.00All grapes sourced from the Vaughan family vineyard in Tuerong, the fruit was left overnight without any additions before pressing in the cool of the following morning. Settled in tank, racked, leaving just the heaviest lees behind before being allowed to ferment wild in a mixture of tank (80%) and old French barriques (20%). Following […]

La Petite Vanguard GSM 2021
$30.00La Petite Vanguard’s 2021 GSM comes off organically farmed, interplanted field blend bush vines of approximately 50% Grenache, 30% Shiraz and 20% Mourvèdre. It’s another example of their great range of bistro wines – enough complexity and youthful vibrancy to be a great drink! Harvested by hand on the 20th February. The wine saw 40% […]

La Petite Vanguard Grenache 2021
$30.00The 2021 is generous, fluid and vibrant. Roses, pomegranate, cranberry and strawberry mingle with clove and aniseed. Pure and juicy palate, so fresh and bright, but deep and detailed too. Red fruits, and some dark plum and kirsch with flecks of vanilla bean. One of the best bistro reds around, that will go with almost […]

Domaine de Ferrand Vieilles Vignes 2019
$38.00Nearly entirely produced from Grenache – from a plot planted in 1920 and almost legally Chateauneuf du Pape; separated bureaucratically only by a skinny country road. Ferrand’s Vieilles Vignes is as good as red Côtes du Rhône gets in my opinion and has much in common texturally with fine burgundy. All stone, silk and spice. […]

Greenock Creek Mataro 2020
$35.00As expected, full-bodied with masses of dark fruits, kirsch, five spice and a ferrous quality, which is unusual for the Barossa. Despite its sheer size, the wine is terrifically balanced with plenty of freshness and firm tobacco-edged tannins. Super rare – only 700 bottles made. Waters Wine Co

Moss Wood Chardonnay 2020
$80.00Fruit aromas are typical Moss Wood – ripe peach, combined with a zesty note similar to cumquat marmalade. These combine with lots of roast almonds and cashews, shortbread biscuits, malt and toasty oak for added complexity. The palate is lively, with fresh acidity giving lift to peaches, limes, grapefruit and caramel; there is full body […]

Rippon Jeunesse Pinot Noir 2018
$65.00Vines in their youth, or Jeunesse, are not yet mature enough to communicate fully all the complexities of their soils and site. Issued from several younger parcels at Rippon, Jeunesse remains a pure and precise expression of its variety: Pinot Noir. Winemaker’s Notes Click here for our full range of New Zealand wines

Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Merlot 2017
$62.00Moderately intense merlot that has an impressive lightness and subtle power with blueberry, cedar, violet and a hint of wood-smoke. A seamless, smooth-textured red with a lengthy finish. Delicious now but with obvious potential. Drink 2019-2025. 95 points – Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review

Moss Wood Margaret River Pinot Noir 2018
$65.00I have been fortunate in recent years to taste many bottles of this wine from the 1980s in masked lineups, each time (although less as time wore on) confounded as to their provenance. Moss Wood pinot noir has developed a reputation over the years for its capability to age gracefully in the cellar. Here, through […]

Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2020
$36.0062/38% grenache/shiraz, a blend from 2 sites. 16yo puncheons of each and a single barrique of grenache. An homage to the likes of d’Arry’s Original, apparently. I grew up drinking that. Here, a less-is-more approach. A full-weighted mouthfeel, rich of flavour and yet, savoury, fresh and effortlessly detailed without being overly complicated. Bracken, kirsch and […]

Giant Steps Primavera Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020
$62.00Medium to light red/purple colour. Very floral and rose-petally, with a tinge of lavender. Highly aromatic pinot. The palate is light to medium-weight and finely-textured, with a sheen of firm but fine tannins adding grip and structure. The aftertaste has a brothy umami savouriness and a lingering aftertaste. Compact and focused. An excellent Yarra pinot […]

Rippon Riesling Mature Vine ‘Rippon’ 2019
$55.00A warm & productive summer put plenty of flesh on this wine. The fruit is from Rippon’s mature vines, whose root hairs have invaded the schist rock below. Lurking towards the end of the first mouthful is substantial phenolic power and it soon starts to take charge of the wine… and give it its sense […]

Frederick Stevenson Riesling 2021
$26.00The nose bursts with lime and lemons, with a background of tonic, lime curd, orange zest / blossom and a touch of white pepper. It enters the mouth rather tight and tactile upfront, with a slight salty / oily mouth feel but makes its way to more mouthwatering citrus and floral notes. It closes out […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Rose 2020
$42.00Organic. 100% Cabernet Franc. Baudry’s irresistible rosé is drawn from vines rooted in the gravel terroir of Grézeaux and a parcel called Les Balais, which was originally planted by Matthieu’s father some 30 years ago. In contrast to Grézeaux, Les Balais is on clay and flint (silex) soils. The 2020 was picked by hand, there was brief skin contact and then the […]

Saumaize-Michelin Macon Villages 2019
$45.00Pretty yellow and green colour, not so powerful on the nose. There is a wonderful explosion of fruit, a little touch of sucrosity, but the fruit dances across the palate with a bit of acidity too. Classic hillside minerals. Tasted: September 2020’. 87-90 points – Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2019
$45.00While I am optimistic about grenache in these parts, I often find the style of shiraz monochromatic. Not in these hands. Despite the heat spikes of a warm year, the sandy blocks across the vineyard thrived. A cool finish to the season, providing perk. All things done right: picking window, use of whole bunches (20%) […]

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Grenache 2020
$38.00The articulation of this exalted site in such deft hands elevates Bondar into the top-tier. Limited to the likes of Thistledown, Yangarra, Samson Tall and Beckett. Now, these guys. Planted in 1970. Hand picked. Ambient ferment with 20% bunches in ceramic eggs and seasoned French wood. Rosehip, cranberry, pomegranate and wild strawberry. Bracing freshness and […]

Commune of Buttons Pretty Fun Pet Nat 2021
$38.00Marking the beginning of the vintage each year, the first fruit to be harvested is always the base for Pretty Fun. In 2021 this was selected from two sites: a parcel of Syrah from the Top Range vineyard (managed by Fiona Wood) picked on the 17th of Feb; and Chardonnay from Kas Sluiter’s vineyard at Mylor, picked on […]

Ravensworth Riesling Ancestral 2021
$38.00Perfect springtime fun – cloudy, fizzy Riesling! The fruit saw a little skin contact and then was pressed straight into ceramic eggs and left to its own devices. When it had about 10 g/l of fermentable sugar still present the wine was bottled and left to find its own sparkle. The yeast sediment is still […]

Ravensworth Fiano & Fizz 2021
$32.00New twist on our original Fiano & friends. Same deal only fizzy with a big dollop of Zibibbo to add a lovely muscaty spiced aroma. This year’s blend is Fiano, Zibbibo and Riesling. Fruit was harvested by hand, and the Fiano and Riesling saw two days of skin contact before being pressed directly to foudre […]

Ravensworth Charlie-Foxtrot Gamay 2021
$38.00A vibrant wine, full of red fruits, spice and an underlying sense of purpose all wrapped in a super juicy palate. After harvest, whole clusters were held in tank under carbonic conditions (flooded with CO2). The juice was collected each day, pumped over and then drained off. After 10 days, the fermentation progressed with more […]

Vanguardist Mourvedre 2020
$55.00The Mourvèdre is sourced from Yangarra, both organic and Bio-dynamic certified, in Blewitt Springs. The summer of 2020 was the third hot and dry vintage in succession. Small patches of rain during critical moments helped the vines remain vibrant, and the fruit in wonderful condition. The final wine sees around 40% whole bunch. Winemaker’s Notes […]

Stargazer Tupelo White Blend 2021

Vanguardist MVG Grenache 2020
$55.00The Grenache that produces this wine comes from an outstanding vineyard in Blewitt Springs. A hidden gem of sorts, the high ‘Silver Sands’ vineyard was planted by Robert Rende and his father Michael some 50+ years ago. The summer of 2020 was the third hot and dry vintage in succession.
