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 […]

Traviarti Chardonnay 2023
$50.00Aged in 600 litre Stockinger demi muids, it’s a testament to the richness and depth of fruit that the oak plays only a supporting role. 2023 is a cool, wet vintage and this is looking very Chablis-like, with its silky texture, mineral grip, oyster shell and long line of salinity. Medium bodied, rounder in shape […]

Fighting Gully Road Verdicchio 2022
$32.00Out of Stock
The white grape of Italy’s Marche region is now in Australia and looking already well at home. Bright lemon-green tinged hues. Saline, sea breeze scent with lemon, quince, straw and a light dusting of lantana florals. Races at a clip across the tongue, zesty, fresh with light tropical fruits and almond skin bite. Super-refreshing if […]

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 […]

Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Quite different from the 2021 vintage, being more open and less structured. Very complex, with notes cashew, rockmelon, white peach, spring jasmine, butter white cherry and preserved mango. Succulent and luscious, the palate displays some darker yellow fruit, the acidity tightening the palate and applying a little more sinew and structure. A chardonnay lover’s chardonnay. […]

Bernard Baudry Chinon Blanc 2019
$55.00100% Chenin Blanc. Baudry’s rare Chinon Blanc hails from two small parcels: 0.8 hectares of vines behind the Château de Sonnay (these propagated with cuttings from the vineyards of Domaine Huet); and the eroded limestone of Le Clos Guillot. Vine age is in the 12 to 15 year ballpark. Matthieu Baudry naturally ferments the wine slowly […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Leon 2020
$70.00Leon is Jonathan Pabiot’s estate wine. Drawn from the region’s three main soil types of silex, caillottes and terres blanches. The vines are planted at 10,000 to the hectare, cropping a miserly 30 hl/ha. Now we enter the world of soil and climate. Aged in a mixture of stainless steel, oak and concrete, the choice […]

Thibaud Boudignon Anjou Blanc 2021
$100.00The Anjou Blanc is from old densely planted vines, rooted in shallow sand and schist soils. Aged for up to 18 months in 500L and Stockinger “cigar” barrels, 30% of which are new. This is certainly the estates signature style, if more approachable, fuller and rounder than the more aristocratic Savennieres. Clear, tender, transparent and […]

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 […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Elisa 2021
$60.00We should start with the Elisa (previously named Prelude), a blend of material from young vines across the 15 hectares of estate vineyards. This is the most overtly fruit driven and high toned, indeed closer to the cliched notion of Sauvignon Blanc. Stainless steel ageing for between 8 to 12 months has gifted a rich […]

Paul Prieur Sancerre Blanc 2020
$75.00Paul Prieur’s Sancerre Blanc comes from estate vineyards, composed of either silex or limestone and blended. But make no mistake; this “entry” level Sancerre is very serious indeed. Medium bodied, sleek, mineral and mouthwatering. White peach lemon, lemon zest, green apple and savoury spice. Tense and pulsating, without the textural pillow of the more expensive […]

Thibaud Boudignon Savennières Le Clos de Fremine 2021
$205.00Clos de Fremine is planted just below the winery, across the lane from Clos de la Hutte. The soil is sand over schist and what’s most surprising is how different the shape and structure is to Clos de la Hutte. Clos de Fremine is the most delicate, refined, lifted and floral with a structure of […]

Huet Vouvray Le Mont Sec 2021
$115.00“This 2021 Le Mont Sec fills the mouth with pear, pineapple, nectarine and violet flavors. There’s a sense of seduction and succulence through the middle of this wine. The flint and the coolness of the site seem to bring a sense of tension and purpose through this wine, which seduces you then spits you out. […]

Huet Vouvray Le Haut-Lieu Sec 2021
$90.00“This is a very fine, fragrant and floral Le Haut Lieu Sec. While delicate, the 2021 fills the mouth with a cloud of pure fruit reminiscent of violets, apple and nectarine skin. There’s a fine sinew that pulls the wine through on the finish. It can be approached in its youth but will go on […]

Domenica Chardonnay 2023
$55.00‘A very fine chardonnay, without quite the precision, detail and tension that I recall from other years. Stone fruit, flint, lanolin, porcini and that regional tattoo of glazed quince. Quinine bitterness at the finale. Mid-weighted and nicely nervous in the mouth, while suitably open-knit enough to breach already. Fine. Drink or hold. Screw cap.’ 95 Points […]

Thibaud Boudignon Rose de Loire 2022
$55.00Beautiful copper colour. Perfumed nose of blackcurrant violets, raspberry, saltbush and smoke. Deep, concentrated, mineral and savoury. Ruby grapefruit, firm snuffbox peach, fennel, sage and pulpy passionfruit. Very long finish, with a squeeze of that peach offering the faintest of texture and grip. A bright, clear and pure journey.

Thibaud Boudignon Savennières Clos de la Hutte 2020
$275.00”The 2020 Clos de la Hutte is a wine that makes your shoulders drop such is its tranquility and sense of comfort in your mouth. It blooms in the mouth and does so without any sense of heaviness. The finish, scented with flowers and nectarines, is long, fragrant and textural. I hate using the word […]

Jonathan Didier Pabiot Pouilly Fumé Luminance 2020
$110.00Luminance is crafted from vines with an average age of 50 years. Planted in Kimmeridgian limestone with an active lime content of over 70%. A high active lime content is a feature of the region, but at this level, the vines must work very hard indeed for nutrients and water. The vineyard is terraced, steep […]

Chateau d’Epire ‘Comtesse de Las Cases’ Savennieres Moelleux 2018
$65.00Comtesse de Las Cases is a semi-dry wine and a reminder of what Savennieres once was. Attacking with a charming sweetness and offering a fresh and mineral finish. Vinified in small, stainless steel tanks.
