Tokaji Oremus Mandolas Dry Furmint 2019
$58.00Aged in small traditional 136 litre barrels and picked golden ripe, I cannot think of any wine that is full bodied yet so abundantly fresh, tangy and full zingy drive. Citrus and stone fruits, cherry, plum, marzipan, beeswax, cinnamon, creamy apple and salty minerality. Very broad, yet precise flavours and a terrific match for roast […]

Swinging Bridge Mrs Payten Chardonnay 2021
$35.00Light to mid-yellow colour and a spicy bouquet that reflects some smart oak maturation. The wine is very lively in the mouth with bright and slightly shrill acidity. Lots of lemon flavour here, good intensity and vivacious fruit-and-acid interplay. Long carry. An appetising and moreish chardonnay. 92 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review […]

CRFT Blefari Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
$50.00Along with the Arranmore, the Blefari is at the pinnacle of Adelaide Hills Chardonnay. Lifted aromatics, cooler than the Arranmore, with lemons and limes, grapefruit, flint, green apple and pastry notes. Tight, coiled and intense with spice notes, sleek textured, searing acidity and strong notes of sage and bergamot. Green mango brings it all together […]

CRFT Arranmore Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
$50.00A chardonnay lovers chardonnay, and with a twist that can only be defined as unique. There’s a subtle peach skin and flavour that kicks through on the finish. In no way is the wine skinsy or textural, but the hint of peach skin might easily be missed within the swirl of rich, interwoven flavours. Cashew, […]

Paul Prieur Sancerre Blanc 2020
$75.00Paul Prieur’s Sancerre Blanc comes from estate vineyards, composed of either silex or limestone and blended. But make no mistake; this “entry” level Sancerre is very serious indeed. Medium bodied, sleek, mineral and mouthwatering. White peach lemon, lemon zest, green apple and savoury spice. Tense and pulsating, without the textural pillow of the more expensive […]

Badia a Coltibuono Cultusboni Cetamura Chianti 2020
$38.00All of Badia a Coltibuono’s Chiantis share the same DNA and it is evident throughout all the wines. Classic, poised and balanced. Certainly the softest, plumpest and fruit driven of the three releases, with less tertiary elements. Red fruits, dried flowers, tobacco and the lovely skinsy Sangiovese tannins that hold it all together. Perfect bistro/restaurant […]

Aladame Bourgogne Prelude 2020
$58.00Prélude is the entry-level Montagny, sourced from the vineyards of Le May (Saint-Vallerin) and Les Coères (Montagny). It was raised for 10 months, in a combination of tank (60%) and older barrels (40%). In contrast to the Mon Blanc, the villages cuvée displays more volume, yet it remains braced by a consistent thread of acidity. […]

Aladame Bourgogne Mon Blanc 2020
$50.00Aladame’s Mon Blanc 2020 is drawn from a plot in the little village of Saint-Clément-sur-Guye, the original home of Stéphane’s wife Julie. The lieu-dit is Le Clou, and the vines face south on clay/limestone soil between 360 and 385 meters elevation. Whole-bunch pressed and fermented wild, this was mostly raised in tank, supported by a […]

Place of Changing Winds Heathcote Syrah 2020
$45.00Alongside the Marsanne, this is one of our favourite releases this year. The 2020 Place of Changing Winds Syrah is a game changer as far as we’re concerned. Heathcote is full bodied, massive even, with a fleshy succulence, ferrous hints and an iron grip. Until we tasted this. Sure there’s a deeper, darker intensity than […]

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2021
$60.00Batches of pinot noir from different blocks, wild fermented with 20% whole bunches. Matured 10 months in French hogsheads (25% new). A wine of real gravitas and presence, the ’21 reflects a most impressive year. Abundant, enticing aromas in pristine red fruits, maritime herbs, humus and dusty beets. The palate fairly bristles in fruit freshness […]

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$127.00Fine-boned, linear cabernet sauvignon with dark berry, violet, dark chocolate, cedar, new leather and spicy oak flavours. It’s a perfectly-balanced wine with obvious cellaring potential. A complex wine with underlying power. 96 Points – Bob Campbell, The Real Review There was some debate around a decade ago that this iconic Margaret River winery had […]

Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2019
$105.00Elegant, seamless pinot noir with fragrant, floral, red rose, dark cherry, anise, spice and restrained savoury and fresh herb characters. It’s a complex medley of appealing flavours supported by an ethereal texture and a lingering finish. A surprisingly accessible wine from an excellent vintage. Should develop well with bottle age. 98 Points – Bob Campbell, […]

Diel Eierfels Riesling Trocken 2019
$70.00If you can imagine the lavishness of Keller and the smouldering elements of Frohlich, then try to imagine the bracing, mineral and juicy fruit tingle of Diel. Diamond bright, with ruby grapefruit, nectarine, white peach, mint, smoke and minerals. Medium to full bodied, tremendously focused, and such an abundance of fruit. From the two GG […]

Markus Molitor Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Kabinett Goldcap 2015
$50.00Showing not a bit of age, accept perhaps some integration of the crystalline acidity, the very essence of Molitor. However, the cut is still fine and carries the luxurious, shapely profile of a Whitely nude. Spice, earth, smoke, threaded to bright citrus, white peach, nectarine, mint and herbs. There’s a tonic like quality; clear, translucent, […]

Seehof Steingrube Riesling 2018
$58.00This is not a Grosses Gewachs, but there are very few vineyards as happily situated as this. Seehof has less than 2 acres of Steingrube, and this parcel sits below Abtserde, between Morstein and Kirschpiel. Steingrube is a large vineyard, and is does not have a uniform soil type. Seehof’s parcel is all limestone. To […]

Seehof Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling 2018
$55.00A great vineyard, Kirchspiel for me is defined by a lavish richness, without the driving power and textured structure of Morstein. Ripe lime, grapefruit, tangerine, cherry, preserved lemon and star jasmine. Pure and translucent, you can almost feel, the perfect roundness of ripe grapes. Full bodied, lavish of course, juicy and bright. Soft acids, folded […]

Savage White 2020
$50.00One of the wines I always wanted to try before I die, was Domaine de Chevalier blanc. I was lucky enough to tick that box =, with a bottle of 2003, some years ago. What struck me was it’s lavishness, attention grabbing aromatics and palate coating richness. Indeed, I had not tried a wine like […]

Savage Red 2019
$58.00Pure and translucent, captivating in it’s bright expression of fruit and lacy structure. So much detail, with red, blue and hedge fruits, subtle char, wood spice and violets. Incredible shape, round, so open, loose almost and yet delicate. There’s an almost tightening focus, as if doing up laces, but not to tight. Vibrant, casual and […]

Even Keel Pinot Noir 2021
$40.00Even Keel is Polperro’s “second” label, but the value and quality is pretty special. Medium bodied, bright, vivid and intense. Sweet and tangy red fruits, violets, mushroom compost and sandalwood. Terrific glide and feel, linear in shape, quite different from the shapely curves of Polperro. Elegant all the way through, finishing with assertive, velvet tannins. […]

Denton Shed Nebbiolo 2020
$40.00Very fine “second” wine from Denton. Their estate nebbiolo is one of the best in the country, and this is similar in style to the Traviarti Mezzo. Sleek, with an interplay between sweet and tangy red fruits. Floral elements and Middle Eastern spices, dust what is otherwise a bright, fruit driven palate. Velvet tannins give […]

Pesquera Ribera del Duero Tinto Crianza 2018
$65.00A real mouthful of warm, fruit-coated deliciousness. Just about the richest Crianza on the market. Seductive dark fruits of cassis, plum and dark cherry. Lavender, cola, sweet liquorice, dark chocolate and coal. Still there’s vibrancy, almost playful, amongst the weight and heft of forceful, hessian-like tannins. Balanced and long, and the overall impression is that […]

Dehasa La Granja Tinto 2007
$40.00There is hardly any development, well, there is some, but considering the age, remarkable. If you were under the impression that tempranillo doesn’t age well, you would be incorrect. Tasting a raft of 2007 Bordeaux’s recently, some of them 10 times the price, it had me wondering why we don’t drink more Spanish wines. Aromatic, […]

Rings Pinot Noir (Spatburgunder) 2019
$50.00One of the best value pinot noirs anywhere in the world. Vivid and intense, with bright, sweet and tangy red fruits. High toned, detailed and very precise. Some rose petals, clove, aniseed, lavender wood and wood spice. Energy, so much energy. There’s no fat, all sinewy muscle, the squeeze of tannins becomes more intense, along […]

Condado De Haza Ribera del Duero Crianza 2018
$50.00Perhaps a little less plush than than the Pesquera Crianza’s, with more earth and ferrous notes. It’s not rustic, a little less fine perhaps, but I love it’s burliness. Spice laden, dark fruits, some crunchy red ones too, lavender wood, smoke and bay leaf. Presence of chew, the tannins a rougher velvet and a vibrancy […]

Akutain Cosecha Rioja 2019
$40.00Aged in neutral oak, this is brimming with bright fruit, but you can still see some tertiary notes, denoting traditional Rioja. Fruit driven and medium bodied with blackberry, plum, raspberry, tobacco, aniseed and cut flowers. The fruit is sweet and tangy, buoyed by sandy, grippy tannins and mouthwatering acidity. An absolute delight to drink. One […]

Akutain Reserva Rioja 2015
$65.00One of the finest traditional Reservas on the market and incredible value. If this was Bordeaux or Burgundy, the price would be much higher. Blackcurrant, plum, cranberry, raspberry, aniseed, tobacco, vanilla, violets and cola. Medium to full bodied, incredibly fresh and vibrant, certainly firm and serious. Flecks of savoury spice, dried fruit and firm mineral […]

Rings Pinot Noir (Spatburgunder) Leistadter Kalkofen 2019
$110.00Elemental. Shocking in its attack of texture, flavour and raw power. A cool, high altitude site, with a little more rounding despite the directness of structure. Medium bodied, with red fruits, mingled with blackberry, mulberry, violet, Asian spices and geranium. Tertiary hints of game, mushroom and compost woven into an otherwise tense and tightly wound […]

Rings Pinot Noir (Spatburgunder) Vom Kalkfels 2019
$70.00Simply red. Raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb, plum, cherry and vanilla pod aromas. Tense, linear and bright. Mouth watering texture and shape that is reminiscent of Burgundy from days of old; deep, focused, tight and expansive. Some English dampness, that reminds me of walking through cool, wet woods. Gamey almond meal and mushroom notes. Still a little […]

Rings Riesling Trocken 2020
$45.00Very expressive and utterly seductive. Vivid lime, lemon, grapefruit, white peach and green apple. Deceptive power, pushy almost, flecked with white pepper and a touch of salt. Captivating now, but would be terrific to see in a couple of years. Waters Wine Co
