Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Trocken 2021

Stargazer Coal River Valley Riesling 2022
$35.00Out of Stock
A tense feinherb style that reminds me of the Saar and is a developing style in Tasmania. Intense, almost shockingly so, yet tip toe balanced by the tiny amount of residual sugar. White flowers, green mango, pink grapefruit, lemon and juicy lime. Compact and tight, yet with a wide plane of flavour. Yellow fruits, citrus […]

Meadowbank Riesling 2023
$39.00Aromatic and open with Gardenia, lemon, saltbush, dried oregano, grapefruit, pawpaw and green mango. Rich and almost full bodied, indeed I’m not sure we’ve ever had a Tasmanian Riesling with such dimensions and depth as this. For all its size and opulent shape, it’s very focused and structured, the richness of fruit tensioned by minerals, […]

Stargazer Palisander Riesling 2021
$45.00Fermented in a ceramic egg and left on lees for ten months. The nose is a combination of dried chamomile and bath salts, with some yuzu and bergamot citrus elements. A juiciness with fruit tingle acidity dominates the palate, backed by a refreshing crunch and wet chalk, almost quinine-like bitterness tidying up the finish. Winemaker’s […]

Stargazer Tupelo White Blend 2023
$35.00One of our favourite white wines of 2023, of any style, from anywhere. A blend of Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Gewurztraminer. A nod to the blends of Alsace, a showcase of region, rather than of varietal. The Tupelo is to a degree an orange wine, and in that idiom it is the best […]

Stunning breadth, absolutely palate coating, focused, intense and mineral. The fruit is perfectly ripe, yet tangy, mouthwatering and so pristine, you’ll have to have another sip. […]

Sailor Seeks Horse Chardonnay 2020
$60.002020 was a tiny vintage at Sailor Seeks Horse in the Huon Valley, yielding just 2 t/ha. But the long, cool growing season has produced wonderful Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Wines of elegance and finesse; structure and complexity. And very limited. “With high natural acidity we decided to put a few more of the […]

Bubb and Pooley Riesling 2022
$45.00Made in a feinherb style, well almost, as the sugar is barely noticeable due to the very high level of acidity. Lemons, limes, grapefruit green apple and salt. The citrus is of fresh juice, preserve and zest and as such, is quite linear in style. Mouthwatering and bracing, it will be fascinating to see how […]

Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Trocken 2020
$58.00Straight out of the blocks, what a way to start a wine tasting. Expressive, explosive and intense. Lemon, thyme, vine leaf, white peach and umami. Very narrow in profile, initially, but with a bit of swirling, warmth and time, really opens up and fleshes out. There is a mineral and saline quality, lip-smacking and with […]

Eva Fricke Kiedrich Riesling Trocken 2021
$85.00“The raspberry, orange-blossom, jasmine and white-tea character suggests a wine that’s less sweet and structured than this is. Still very youthful, with serious tension between the slightly grainy tannins and crisp acidity and the lush elements of the wine. Long, very bright finish.” 93 points, jamessuckling.com “The Riesling trocken 2021 Kiedrich offers a fine yet […]

Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Melange Trocken 2021

Serious depth and concentration on the full-bodied palate, fine tannins and earthy structure exactly interlocked on the powerful and complete finish.” 95 points, jamessuckling.com “Eva’s 2021 […]

Pressing Matters R9 Riesling 2021
$40.00A touch of residual sugar does marvellous things in lifting the exoticism of orange-blossom fragrance, tying down unwieldy, cool-season acidity and drawing out magnificent persistence. A compelling core of crunchy Granny Smith apple and pitch-perfect lime and lemon are charged with tremendous stamina. 94 points – Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion Shop all Dessert wines […]

Apogee Deluxe Vintage Rose 2019
$80.00A fuller, fleshier, silky rendition of a sparkling rose, which suits me just fine. Lovely colour, with aromas of lavender, red summer fruit compote, ruby grapefruit and cherry pie. It’s built differently to the Deluxe Brut Vintage, being more linear, more tightly structured and less round in shape. Ripe fleshy red fruits are tensioned by […]

Ossa Gruner Veltliner 2022
$60.00According to Ossa, their Gruner Veltliner makes up a very small proportion of their Belbrook vineyard, but after tasting this I wish it were more. Essence of Gruner with green mango, lychee, pawpaw, lavender honey, spring jasmine and nectarine. Rich and full bodied, unctious, slightly textural with yellow fruits, savoury spice Vietnamese mint and cream. […]

Apogee Deluxe Vintage Brut 2020
$70.00Lovely, clear colour, somewhere between sunflower yellow and gold. Wafting aromatics, I almost wish I had a white wine glass, rather than a Champagne flute, to capture the spilling complexity. Hazelnut, honey, stewed apple, spring jasmine, cherry, gingernut biscuit and lime. Rich and full bodied, buoyed by frothing freshness, a marvelous combination of weight, power […]

Georg Breuer Rudesheim Estate Riesling 2019
$48.00At once generous, yet fine and polished, this is a pretty serious wine for the village-wine category with a lot of depth at the finish, where positive tannins and a slate-like quality add some real complexity.

Eva Fricke Lorch Krone Riesling Trocken 2022
$265.00Eva believes this needs a Burgundy glass, and now I think about it, all the single vineyard wines would benefit from such a glass. The Krone spends longer on lees than all the other wines. The power of the site is evident as there is still some dry extract and faint peach skin texture, despite […]

It’s tough to write in a way because there is so much flavour and complexity, just think of a fruit and you’ll find it. Tangy and tense, […]

Haddow and Dineen Grain of Truth Pinot Gris 2022
$50.00First tasted, amongst previous releases at the Israeli restaurant Ezra. Immediately apparent was that this is Australia’s greatest pinot gris, a varietal we seldom drink. Until we tasted the Haddow and Dineen. Soaring aromatics, the whole wine oozes honey, lavender, blood orange, pink grapefruit, yellow peach, cumin and fenugreek. Rich, full bodied and succulent, with […]

Eva Fricke Lorcher Riesling Trocken 2020

Eva Fricke Lorchhauser Seligmacher Riesling 2022
$185.00A first taste for me of this great vineyard and it reminds me of the Mosel, except for that little bit of Rheingau heft and oomph. Super exotic. Cherry, passionfruit, kiwifruit and spring jasmine. So sensual, rich and luscious, with enveloping smoke and cream. Slightly off-dry, although the sweetness is faint, aiding gentleness and helping […]
