Inkwell Infidels Primitivo 2022
$30.00Inkwell make zinfandel and primitivo. Same, same, essentially. But the different blocks perform differently, so the nomenclature reflects that. This is genuinely reminiscent of Puglian primitivo, resplendent with dried fruits, currants, fig and date, blackberry, and hit heavily with spices, in an amaro and panforte register, anise to the fore, and underwritten by a dry, […]

Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Grenache 2023
$30.00The entry level, if you will, made from declassified fruit/wine from the three proprietary Blewitt Springs sites. The trajectory here is for brighter styles, though the graph curve is gradual. The house style remains, and there is no harm in that, given its history. Expect a deeply red-fruited, slightly meaty style, moody with sultry florals, […]

Dr Edge Tasmania Pinot Noir 2024
$55.00Peter Dredge is the very model of the modern major winemaker. Classically trained, technically strong, he has the solid foundations required to push things, as he punningly promises on the label, to the edge. Without the disciplined fruit sourcing, the commitment to keeping multiple parcels separate through fermentation and the finely tuned skill to blend […]

Dr Edge Blanc de Noir 2020
$60.00Very light colour, with a very subtle blush or taché, the aromas are fresh and mostly primary, with suggestions of iced pastries and brioche, and in the mouth it’s full and rich with quite marked acidity that drives the super-dry aftertaste. It certainly cleanses the tongue, and would be refreshing with lighter foods, especially oysters […]

Tillie J Chardonnay 2024
$40.00From a vineyard in Gruyere on the Valley floor. 10% new oak, and no mlf. A bright yellow green. Nicely poised with its aromas of white peach, flowers, lemon zest and light marine scents. Equally subtle on the well-balanced and very even palate, finishing tensile and long. It’s terrific, even now, but will continue to […]

Gentle Folk Riesling 2024
$40.00Our love for off-dry Riesling has meant giving the style a third run but with some refinement. Dryer than previous years, bottled much earlier, but still with a little hints of sugar to balance out the acidity we get from the high altitude and quartz soils of Scary Gully. We love it. Producer’s Notes […]

Domaine Naturaliste Floris Chardonnay 2023
$30.00Beautiful clear flavours with a strong white flower character. Stone fruits, lime, ginger biscuit, subtle spicy oak and fresh butter.

Domaine Naturaliste Purus Chardonnay 2024
$60.00Pure as the name implies, but it loses nothing in terms of flavour intensity and power. Malolactic is blocked, so the acid profile is different. It bloody well sizzles. Green apple, grapefruit, lime, white peach, almond meal and a sort of briny quality. A whip crack of a wine, full of tautness and tension, and […]

Monte Bernardi Retromarcia Chianti Classico DOCG 2022

The 2022 is perfumed with raspberry and delicate blossoms. As it opens, warm earth and beeswax emerge. Midweight, warm and flavourful, it expands with wild […]

Monte Bernardi Sangio Chianti Classico DOCG 2022
$45.00From Panzano’s upper reaches, Sangió sees a spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and minimal sulphur dioxide additions – as with all Michael Schmelzer’s wines. It is raised in a combination of concrete and used tonneaux. Discreet yet persistent citrus blossom and brushwood accent underlying rhubarb scents. Streamlined, with slender fruit, it expresses flavours of red […]

Tim Smith Bugalugs Blanc 2025
$28.00“A blend of grenache blanc, marsanne and roussanne. Nashi pear, custard apple, waxed lemon rind, jasmine and dried chamomile. You live or die by how you handle phenolics in a wine like this, and Smith is a master. There’s a firm phenolic grip, but it’s the kind that guides not strangles. Serious white wine with […]

Tim Smith MGS 2024
$30.00Another testament to the Smith touch, that rare ability to overdeliver without trying too hard. Black plums and blueberries; a fine, sour cherry edge. Sarsaparilla, dark earth, licorice, baked quince. Sucking copper coins through split lips. Plush and slippery on the palate, disciplined by beautifully gritty tannins. Find me a better red at this price. […]

$170.00The RP Pinot Noir (RP – Robyn Pamela) is in recognition of the matriarch. It is not only the support and goffering that Robyn has endured for Gary’s 40 year career.
