Olifantsberg Lark Chenin Blanc 2019

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 […]

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.

Olifantsberg Grenache Blanc 2019

Fruit profiles in wines of both colours are plump and tender, nothing too overt. Stone fruits, honeysuckle, Tarragon, Sage and flint aromas. Beautiful caressing mouthfeel. Stone fruits and citrus, a gentle pithiness and green olive squeeze to […]

Destined for a very long life, but delicious […]

Seehof Westhofener Morstein Alte Reben Riesling 2018
$75.00Talk about a giant killer. Rheinhessen’s Morstein makes one of the broadest, densest Rieslings on the planet, and Seehof’s rendition is one of the best. More elegant in style, but wanting for nothing. Citrus, zest, minerals, dried herbs, faint notes of smoke, grapefruit and melon. Bright. Juicy, concentrated and full of tension with ripe, pulpy […]
