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 […]

Olifantsberg Lark Chenin Blanc 2019
$38.00Layered and detailed, mouth filling, yet light on its feet. Chenin Blanc can be many things and most winemakers opt for one style or another, but the Lark from Olifantsberg conjures up a multifaceted expression. Deeper and darker fruited aromatics than the old vine chenin, with white peach, apricot, nectarine, lime, dried herbs and whiffs […]

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, […]

$50.00Peter-Allan Finlayson describes the 2021 Agnes as a wine with great delicacy, elegance and a lithe light touch crystalline purity. Indeed, this wine is incredibly sleek with fabulous zesty aromatics of lemon and lime biscuits, dusty grey slate and hints of honeydew melon. On the palate, the wine is beautifully elegant and pure boasting boiled […]

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 […]

Miles Mossop Introduction Chenin Blanc 2021
$28.00From unirrigated bush vines in Stellenbosch and Swartland. A remarkably complex and immensely satisfying wine at this price, a testament to the versatility of Chenin Blanc. Aromatics of lavender honey, quince, apricot, nectarine and jasmine. Intense and bright, with zingy citrus, tangy apple and a lovely mineral finish. There’s structure, quite tight in fact, complementing […]

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 […]

Stargazer Single Vineyard Riesling 2023

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 […]

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 […]

Olifantsberg Grenache Blanc 2019
$38.00Grenache Blanc, like Chenin Blanc, is a variety open to interpretation. Olifantsberg’s wines are elegant, controlled and poised. 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 […]

Olifantsberg Blanc 2018
$40.00The emblematic white wine of Olifantsberg, an homage to the whites of southern Rhone. A blend of Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Chenin Blanc, this is the fullest, but by no means full bodied white in the range. The most expressive too, with white peach, nectarine, apricot, spring jasmine and signature dried herbs. Aged in mostly […]

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 […]

Stargazer Chardonnay 2022

Bright and bracing, yellow peach, white peach, grapefruit, citrus, white flowers, wood spice, pastry and cashew. Intense, very linear, driven, compact and generous. Bracing acidity and great cut, a chardonnay of both volume and cut. Anyone familiar with […]

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 […]
