Hochkirch Tarrington Vineyards Chardonnay 2022
$70.00Every wine from Hochkirch sits on a plane of extraordinary quality and great value. Beyond the tension, detail and sensual complexity, is a texturally beautiful, intricate and woven wine, all the threads coming together yet somehow separate. The 2022 Tarrington Vineyards Chardonnay is perfection and I defy anyone who says they don’t like Chardonnay not […]

A Rodda Smiths Vineyard Beechworth Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A wine of shape and shadow, flavours coming and going, textures altering and a structure that is almost hidden. Subtle aromatics of mandarin blossom, yellow fruits and Rodda’s signature fruit tingle tang. The richest and most structured of the single vineyard chardonnays. Deep, concentrated and driven by pure yellow fruits, preserved citrus, salt, wood spice […]

A Rodda Triangle Block Chardonnay 2021
$90.00From a tiny patch of vines within Smith’s vineyard. More new wood here and longer time in barrel, so it’s essentially classically styled and not a ‘contemporary’ expression as the other chardonnays are. Beautifully pure aromas of spring jasmine, honeycomb, mandarin, yellow and white peach and very fine oak. Very deep, brooding, fleshy, a masterclass […]

Mullineux Old Vines White 2020
$55.00Out of Stock
Among their many other talents, Chris and Andrea Mullineux are superb blenders. This cuvée of Chenin with Clairette, Viognier, Grenache Blanc, Semillon, Viura and Verdelho proves the point. Savoury, waxy and focused, with engaging minerality, fine texture and flavours of pear, peach and citrus peel. Drink date: 2022-2027. 95 Points – Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, […]

Pyramid Valley North Canterbury Chardonnay 2020
$55.00A blend of three vineyards including some of the oldest Chardonnay in the country (going back to 1982), the 2020 Chardonnay North Canterbury is seductive, ripe and creamy, with smoky oak and grilled nut-like characters (25% new barrels including Mercurey). The ripe fruit quality is excellent and generous; hand-harvesting and whole-bunch pressing followed by a […]

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 […]

Goisot Saint-Bris Corps de Garde Blanc 2019
$60.00100% Fie Gris. A great vintage for Goisot, full of pristine ripe fruit and cut with tension. Ruby grapefruit, nectarine, fig, preserved lime and spice. Intense and full bodied, flecked with savoury spice, apple strudel and Victoria plum. Complex textural profile, supple and round, with an almost electric charge of chalk. Who said white Burgundy? […]

Sourced from John and Josie D’Aloisio’s vineyard located high up on the hill above the township of Seville.

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2023
$55.00A flavoursome release of this stalwart Clare riesling; easy access in youth with a sense of high drinkability, concentration of flavour and crystalline acidity. Scents of frangipani, sweet lime, ozone and green apple with similar flavours and a fine, chalky pucker to texture. There’s a general prettiness, an inviting juiciness, despite the excellent, powdery textural […]

Clyde Park Block B3 Chardonnay 2020
$80.00The strength of Block 3 chardonnay, rows 69 to 85, planted in 1995 to the Penfolds P58 clone, continues to shine from year to year. There’s a lot more going on here than your average chardonnay, a deep complexity for one thing. Nougat, honeysuckle, grilled hazelnuts, lemon butter and musky spice, long and smooth across […]

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 […]

Fletcher C21 Langhe DOC Chardonnay 2021
$55.00Labelled as Fletcher, as half of the fruit is bought, the other from his own vineyard on the Bricco Capre. Classic chardonnay flavours, yet the shape and structure are all its own. Grapefruit, peach, jasmine, subtle oak notes and rock melon. Super intense palate, so bright, tight and coiled. The fruit is of the highest […]

Chateau des Bachelards Beaujolais Blanc 2021
$70.00Just 3 barrels made of the defining white of the appellation. Unlike Burgundy, or indeed the reds of Beaujolais, the whites of the region are not stratified and do not carry a singular identity. This is old school chardonnay, the likes made in Burgundy 20 years ago. Rich and full bodied with extended lees ageing […]

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 […]

Battles Burnside Chardonnay 2022
$80.00If Lance Parkin can’t produce excellent chardonnay, then there’s something amiss. He’s a bit of a white burgundy buff and tasting great wine helps in many ways on the local front. This is exceptional. Tight, linear and pure with a certain elegance throughout. Everything is lightly applied: the spicy oak, the citrus tones, the millefeuille […]

Juxtaposed Smart Vineyard Grenache 2021
$50.00Spicy, complex florals, red and dark fruits, fresh compost and pipe tobacco. Rich and full bodied, with thoroughly defined curves, dripping with fruit, draped in silk. Like the Wait, there is a lovely tension between the sweet and savoury elements, with curry leaf, bitter chocolate and the silk , morphing into fine, sandy tannins. A […]

Fighting Gully Road Smiths Vineyard Chardonnay 2021
$85.00“Black label. A complex and compelling chardonnay. At its heart is a mineral, beeswax and slatey core that lays the foundation for the wine, contributing an effortless, natural balance. To that, the winemaker has brought ripe, citrus and stone fruits, introduced some spicy oak and a nougat-like texture. Brings both power and delicacy to the […]

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 […]

Rippon Lolo’s Mature Vine Riesling 2019
$75.00I have never tasted a riesling to match the intensity of Saar, until this encounter with Rippon’s 2019 Lola. We were lucky enough to have the better part of a bottle, which we drank over three days. Never for a moment did the wine loose a skerrick of it’s power or titanic fruit. Aromatic, with […]

Juxtaposed Wait Vineyard Grenache 2021
$50.00Sumptuous grenache, with incredibly intense aromatics, perfectly pitched palate weight, balance and tension. There is a tangy sweetness to the hedge fruit compote; blackberry, blueberry, mulberry, plum and raspberry. Certainly darker and sweeter fruit than the Smart vineyard grenache and this is offset by savoury elements. Chocolate orange, fennel, baking spices and Jacaranda flower drop. […]

Eva Fricke Lorcher Riesling Trocken 2021

At the finish, it’s very compact and finely etched, with a ton of wet- stone minerality. Excellent aging potential.” 94 points, jamessuckling.com “The 2021 Lorch is a pure Riesling from blue slate with concentrated lemon fruit […]

Italian peach, blood orange, apricot, yellow peach and lime. Texturally complex, alongside the creaminess is a zesty line of acidity. A thoroughly complete wine and in a way, emblematic of the […]

Olifantsberg Soul of the Mountain The Matriach 2019
$50.00Roussanne being the predominant component in this blend shows the ultimate complexity we can achieve with this variety on the Olifantsberg Mountain. However, Grenache blanc and Chenin blanc complements Roussanne extremely well to create the perfect blend. 72% Roussanne, 20% Grenache Blanc and 8% Chenin Blanc. The complexity of this wine lies in the collection […]
