Naturally fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel on fine lees. White peach, nectarine, green apple, hay, subtle cream and pithy lemon. Very fresh and vibrant, so soft in […]

A Rodda Willow Lake Vineyard Yarra Chardonnay 2022
$55.00Almost invariably the most sought after wine of the release, no doubt due to the fame of this vineyard. A real statement of Yarra cool, waving the flag for contemporary Australian Chardonnay, pioneered in the Yarra Valley. Almost Puligny like in it’s initial aromatic reticence and floral notes. But with a bit of warmth, comes […]

Christophe et Fils Vieilles Vignes Chablis 2022

Full of tension, Riesling like in breadth and crystal cut acidity. Very refreshing, linear in shape, with just enough fruit to blunt the sword. Very long, the carry goes on and on with a […]

Lambert Wines Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A delight to just smell, let alone drink, the stony Denton soils shine through scents of ripe citrus fruits and white flowers. Texturally too, it is simply gorgeous, with compact, chalky weight aligned to lithe acidity, a whisper of grip and pent-up energy. Poised, driven and sustained, it’s Yarra Valley Chardonnay at the peak of […]

Christophe et Fils Chablis 1er Cru Mont de Milieu 2021
$98.00A terrific followup to the gorgeous 2020. Sleeker, silkier and more mineral, the 2021 nonetheless has a deep core of fleshy, pulpy fruit. High toned citrus, white peach, white flowers, sage and a dusting of wood spice. Bright, vivid flavours, at once so juicy, cut through and chiseled by cool acidity. Waters Wine Co […]

Bernard Defaix Chablis 2021
$65.00Screwcap. Certified organic. Defaix’s Chablis Villages is drawn from four parcels of mature, 30-plus-year-old vines situated around Milly and Poinchy, on the left bank of the Serein River.

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2019
$125.00The 2019 Vaillons is currently enjoying its passage in the wood. Clear pale and bright. This is very classical, and has not picked up the wood until perhaps filling out the finish, though it hasn’t become too fleshy. Gives extra structure and length when well handled, as this is. 91-93 points – Jasper Morris 1.5 […]

Mac Forbes Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$35.00Such an excellent value wine and classic Yarra Valley. Needed some time to open up, perhaps I tried it too cold? High tones all the way, with lime, lemon, pink grapefruit, gardenia and mandarin blossom. Mouthwatering and very tense, there’s a dimension of extract that tensions the bright acidity and tangy fruit. Very focused and […]

Salo Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$50.00From the early 2000s-planted Full Moon vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Natural fermentation on full solids, and no lees stirring or mlf. At Salo, Dave Mackintosh and Steve Flamsteed only make one Yarra wine, and the 2022 is another ripper. From a low-yielding vintage, this is slightly more powerful than the 2021 and here you’ll […]

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 2020
$80.00The 2020 Chablis Village is a step up from the Petit Chablis, as you would expect, with more intensity and complexity; green apple and freshly-sliced pears are present on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a lightly-spiced entry, hints of stem ginger interpolating the malic fruit with a nicely weighted finish. Give this […]

Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2021
$55.00From a 330m elevation vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Whole-bunched pressed to older puncheons. Natural fermentation and no mlf. A touch riper and more concentrated than last year’s version. Aromas of red apples and just-ripened orchard fruits with a little flint. Fans out nicely on the palate. Gently savoury and with a touch of grip […]

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 […]

Giant Steps Tarraford Chardonnay 2020
$60.00A soft, delicate, restrained wine with aromas of white flowers and a whiff of almond meal. Cashew-nutty too. A more straightforward style and a trifle short on the finish compared to other vineyards. It’s remarkably backward and restrained considering it’s the lowest altitude vineyard and earliest harvested. 92 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review […]

Domaine Gueguen Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons 2021
$100.00Slightly more reticent, but with time aromas of gardenia, jasmine, fresh, zest and preserved lemon and lime and grapefruit. Fleshier and more opulent than the Fourchaume, with greater weight and muscle. Softer and creamier, yet with typical Gueguen freshness and clarity. Dry extract and chew complete the picture of overall weight, presence and power without […]

$125.001.5 hect across 4 parcels. Minots, Chatains, Epinottes and Vaillons. Average age of 60 years old. All parcels vinified separately then blended before bottling. Across the 1er Cru’s this wine is often seemingly the most ‘exotic’, perhaps not in terms of weight but aromatics. Pressed straight into tank, no pre-ferment racking or settling, wild fermentation, […]

Gembrook Hill Chardonnay 2022
$50.002022 was a cooler, later vintage, perfect for the Gembrook Hill style, of purity, restraint and elegance. Singular in style, with the weight, length and silky texture of Chablis. The flavours though are entirely unique, combining essence of grapefruit, white flowers, kiwifruit, lime and white peach. The balance and tension of elements is incredible, a […]

Green apple, grapefruit, jasmine, orange blossom, almond paste, pastry, oak spice and cream. Linear in shape, certainly a contemporary Yarra style, yet with extract and sinew. Reminiscent of the new wave coming out of the Maconnais, […]
