Juliard Shiraz 2021
$35.00For those who think shiraz is boring, think again. Here, the grape arrives in a full ball of energy, all plummy and red-fruited, peppery and bright. Pristine fruit carries the wine, together with subtle baking spices, cocoa powder and sweet earthy notes, threaded brightly together in juicy tannins. Speaks of a varietal purity and lighter-bodied […]

Juliard GSM 2023
$48.00A GSM from Beechworth may sound incongruous, but if ever you were ever in any doubt of the greatness and versatility of the region, Juliard’s GSM will change your mind. All the varietals shine in this blend and this is certainly greater than the sum of its parts. The fruit is estate grown, planted on […]

Riggs & Wiggs Cote Vineyard Shiraz 2024
$50.00Made from dry-grown shiraz planted on a north-facing slope, with the grapes fermented in 130-year-old open vats from the original 1800s Côte d’Or winery. It has excellent energy and vibrancy, aided by the co-fermentation of 5% semillon. As well as fixing colour and providing lift, the semillon moonlights as a whole-bunch imposter, introducing an intriguing […]

Mulline Pinot Gris 2024
$33.00“100% pinot gris from Modewarre on the Surf Coast in Geelong. A bright salmon copper. The nose features an attractive amalgam of cranberries, freshly cut pear, Mediterranean herbs and a little honeydew melon. Just as good on the mouth-filling, savoury, pithy and long palate. Top stuff.” 95 Points – Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion) […]

Rob Hall Pinot Noir 2024
$29.00Such a wonderful wine, Rob Hall’s Yarra Valley pinot noir, one of the most consistent and best value wines in the region. Lifted aromatics with lavender, sweet and tangy red fruits and savoury spice. Light to medium bodied, with fantastic concentration of flavours, perky acidity and soft, fine tannins. Bargain territory. Norris at Waters Wine […]

Jean Foillard Morgon Cote du Py 2023
$100.00The 2023 Morgon Côte du Py comes from several parcels of granite and schistous soils with many centurion vines. This has a wonderful, very complex bouquet with exquisite delineation: crushed stone filters through dark berry fruit alongside hints of ash and light stony scents. The sapid and vivacious palate has filigree tannins, a silver thread of acidity, and […]

Somos Biodynamic Aglianico 2023
$35.00How to tame those aglianico tannins! This is classically styled in a sense, but has the vibrancy, energy and brightness of a contemporary wine. Black and bramble fruits, licorice, fennel, cola, rosemary and violets. Sweet and sour fruit, some fruit case spice, seaweed, tobacco and a tension between angular tannins, prickling acidity and pure high […]

Frederick Stevenson Chardonnay 2024
$35.00Classic Adelaide Hills Chardonnay, reminding me somewhat of the Fielke wine. Rich and tangy, with a mineral, salty, saline, white chocolate, nougat thing going on. Dark and yellow fruits, interspersed with grapefruit, mandarin blossom, lime preserve, butter and cream. Full flavoured and pretty full bodied too, but not quite and masses of character. One my […]

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Grenache 2024
$38.00The most high toned and ethereal of the Bondar grenache’s, yet with the succulent oomph and juicy power of McLaren Vale. Lifted red fruits, fresh flowers, fresh herbs, woody notes and pink peppercorns. Medium bodied, intensely fruited, but without the weight of the other wines. Angular and perky, the tannins finessed. Beautiful, almost haunting. Norris […]

Bondar Junto GSM 2024
$30.00One of my favourite Bondar wines. We had a 2022 a year after release and it was gorgeous, better after a year in bottle. Vibrant from start to finish with pure black, red and blue fruits, dried flowers and mixed herbs. Curvy, full flavoured and downright easy to drink, with lithe tannins and gentle acidity. […]

Domaine A Stoney Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

Medium bodied, lovely flow and the tension between sweet fruit and savoury elements is pitch perfect. Wonderful intensity and gentle […]

Longview Saturnus Nebbiolo 2022
$49.00Nebbiolo is tough to do in Australia, but the likes of Traviarti, Pipan Steel, Castagna and Longview are offering incredible examples and it will be fascinating to see the differences develop between the respective wine regions. Well, Longview’s Saturnus 2022 nebbiolo is the finest example out of the Adelaide Hills and one of the best […]

Chateau de Cerons Grave Rouge 2020
$46.00One of the greatest ever vintages in Bordeaux, Chateau de Cerons has judged the conditions beautifully. Aromatic with notes of flowers, a compote of black, red and bramble fruits, baking spice, wood notes and tobacco. Composed and fluid, a sort of firm elegance. The palate’s fruit is more red and tangy. Medium bodied, energetic and […]

$48.00A chardonnay lover’s chardonnay, stylistically ticking just about every delectable box possible. Star jasmine, gardenia, cream, citrus and orchard fruits, cream, wood spice and honey. Explosive flavour, energetic, detailed and refined, the fruit tangy, tensioned and softened by clotted cream and high quality oak. And just when you thought the journey was over, a long […]

Fighting Gully Road La Longa Sangiovese 2019
$65.00Australia’s answer to Brunello di Montalcino. For what it’s worth, there isn’t a wine coming out of Brunello of any description at this price that’s anywhere near as good. Spending 36 months in large format oak, yet it’s still incredibly bright, the colour fresh and the aromatics, incredible. Tarry, black cherries, red currants, plums, violets, […]

Trutta Vermentino 2023
$28.00From a cool vineyard at the southern extremity of Heathcote. Beautifully expressive, with white flowers, ginger, cinnamon candlewax, creamed honey, yellow fruits and citrus. Slightly textured and savoury with tangy acidity. Unbelievably food versatile, like the entire range, we have put this with Mexican, Chinese, English and Italian dishes, never missing a beat.

Irrewarra Pinot Noir 2023
$70.00I haven’t tried Irrewarra for a few years and had forgotten what a wonderful set of wines they are. They have the hallmark prettiness of Farr, presumably from ferments with a high proportion of whole berries, the mid palate flesh and weight and the lovely finessed grip of cashmere tannins. The wines offer a gorgeous, […]

Irrewarra Chardonnay 2023
$70.00It’s curious to note that the Irrewarra pinot noir provides the Farr stable with a burlier, darker, savoury and earthy wine, whilst the chardonnay is the most linear, precise and acid driven of the range. I’m not sure if this is a function of the vineyard or winemaking choices, but it makes for a fascinating […]

Alheit Vineyards Cartology 2022
$85.00“‘It was a vintage that gave you the chance to show what you were made of,’ says Chris Alheit of the ‘middling 2022 growing season’. It certainly did. This is a brilliant cuvée of Chenin Blanc with 8% Semillon, sourced from ten different vineyards. Showing lots of energy from early picked grapes on granite soils, it has […]

Decades Chardonnay 2023
$78.00Beauty is immediate. The pure and crystalline quality is captured in the gorgeous aromatics of grapefruit, fig, melon, spring jasmine and chocolate orange. Concentrated, but not big. Lithe, athletic and pure, but with a tempering suppleness; the tightness of youth and coiled power finessed, creamy and fleshy. Citrus and orchard fruits, mostly, the palate gripping […]

Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle 2020
$28.00Chateau de Terrefort Lescalle is in the commune of Macau, next to its more famous neighbor, Margaux. Like Margaux, the soils and environs are similar, as is the varietal mix, in this case 80% merlot, 10% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. The wine saw no oak whatsoever, and it’s rich, with delectable freshness and […]

J&S Fielke Shiraz 2024
$40.00From grapes off Inkwell’s organic vineyard in Tatachilla, McLaren Vale and their entry for the 2024 Hacking The Future of Shiraz Project. This is such a McLaren Vale expression, full of brambly fruits, blueberry and chocolate. Carbonically macerated for 14 days prior to a natural fermentation and hand plunged daily for a month. Elevage took […]

Tillie J Chardonnay 2023
$42.00The 2023 chardonnay from Tillie J is the best yet, and it’s not just because of a great vintage. There is less of the skin and bones approach, with more richness and mid palate succulence. White flowers, wood spice, fresh and preserved citrus, summer honey and pastry notes. Super intense palate, the flavours and textures […]

Joshua Cooper Pinot Noir 2024
$50.00The Early Release wines of Josh Cooper are obviously less expensive and are supposedly an introduction to the range. The pinot noir however, along with all the range, is pretty darn serious stuff, in this case coming off the fabled Doug’s vineyard. Lovely aromatics, pretty, floral, with raspberry, rhubarb, poached plum, tangy redcurrant, blood orange […]

Joshua Cooper Rose 2024
$38.00A very serious rose, without sacrificing the fun or refreshment factor. It has a lovely luminous colour of copper, and the aromatics are high toned red fruits, Middle Eastern spice, mixed herbs, cream and marzipan. All enveloping, really coating all corners of the mouth. Lithe and fleshy, its curve cut by acidity and faint cashmere […]
