A Rodda Willow Lake Vineyard Yarra Chardonnay 2022
$55.00Almost invariably the most sought after wine of the release, no doubt due to the fame of this vineyard. A real statement of Yarra cool, waving the flag for contemporary Australian Chardonnay, pioneered in the Yarra Valley. Almost Puligny like in it’s initial aromatic reticence and floral notes. But with a bit of warmth, comes […]

Savage Never Been Asked to Dance 2022
$65.00Chenin Blanc from a Paarl vineyard planted in 1956. Fermented and matured in older 600-litre Stockinger barrels. The nose shows lime and white peach with fresh herbs and floral perfume in the background. The palate is lean and energetic – pure fruit and zippy acidity before a pithy finish. Tightly wound, long and dry. Alc: […]

Lambert Wines Chardonnay 2022
$55.00A delight to just smell, let alone drink, the stony Denton soils shine through scents of ripe citrus fruits and white flowers. Texturally too, it is simply gorgeous, with compact, chalky weight aligned to lithe acidity, a whisper of grip and pent-up energy. Poised, driven and sustained, it’s Yarra Valley Chardonnay at the peak of […]

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 […]

Crystallum The Agnes Chardonnay 2021
$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 […]

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 […]

Gembrook Hill Blanc de Blancs 2017
$65.00Made from chardonnay planted in 1983. Traditional method, six years on tirage, 6.15g/L dosage. Bright gold with green tinges. Lively, complex and understated from the first sip.

Mac Forbes Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$35.00Such an excellent value wine and classic Yarra Valley. Needed some time to open up, perhaps I tried it too cold? High tones all the way, with lime, lemon, pink grapefruit, gardenia and mandarin blossom. Mouthwatering and very tense, there’s a dimension of extract that tensions the bright acidity and tangy fruit. Very focused and […]

Salo Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$50.00From the early 2000s-planted Full Moon vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Natural fermentation on full solids, and no lees stirring or mlf. At Salo, Dave Mackintosh and Steve Flamsteed only make one Yarra wine, and the 2022 is another ripper. From a low-yielding vintage, this is slightly more powerful than the 2021 and here you’ll […]

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 […]

Bicknell FC Applecross Chardonnay 2021
$55.00From a 330m elevation vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Whole-bunched pressed to older puncheons. Natural fermentation and no mlf. A touch riper and more concentrated than last year’s version. Aromas of red apples and just-ripened orchard fruits with a little flint. Fans out nicely on the palate. Gently savoury and with a touch of grip […]

Giant Steps Tarraford Chardonnay 2020
$60.00A soft, delicate, restrained wine with aromas of white flowers and a whiff of almond meal. Cashew-nutty too. A more straightforward style and a trifle short on the finish compared to other vineyards. It’s remarkably backward and restrained considering it’s the lowest altitude vineyard and earliest harvested. 92 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review […]

Bloody Hill Villages Coldstream Chardonnay 2023
$42.00A chardonnay that is impossible not to like. Fresh, bright and intense, with melon, white peach, nectarine, jasmine, quince and mandarin. Lovely tension between the hyper fresh citrus notes and the richer, fleshy stone fruits. A nod to both contempory and classic Yarra Valley. Waters Wine Co

Mac Forbes Yarra Junction Chardonnay 2022
$65.00This is the style of chardonnay that put Mac Forbes on the map – tight, saline, intense and mouthwatering. Green apple, citrus – fresh, preserved, and acacia honey, pink grapefruit and white peach. Super tense and tight, the skin contact adding just that little bit of texture and mid palate oomph. Very long, never deviating […]

Mac Forbes Woori Yallock Chardonnay 2022
$65.00Tight like a tiger. Beautiful expression of Woori Yallock, very complex and animated. Lemon, lime, mandarin, citrus blossom, zest and preserved citrus. Wide plane across the palate, yet linear and focused, with just the right amount of flesh. Salty, long and unashamedly contemporary. Waters Wine Co From two vineyards in Woori Yallock. A few […]

Thorne and Daughters Menagerie Pinotage 2022
$40.00Grapes from a Skurfberg vineyard planted in the mid-1990s. Carbonic maceration in stainless steel tank before being pressed to older barrels, maturation lasting nine months. Seductive aromatics of cherry, plum, pomegranate and floral perfume. Medium bodied with good freshness and lightly grippy tannins, the finish nicely dry. Does this have maturation potential? That’s irrelevant as […]

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 […]

Gembrook Hill Chardonnay 2022
$50.002022 was a cooler, later vintage, perfect for the Gembrook Hill style, of purity, restraint and elegance. Singular in style, with the weight, length and silky texture of Chablis. The flavours though are entirely unique, combining essence of grapefruit, white flowers, kiwifruit, lime and white peach. The balance and tension of elements is incredible, a […]

Tillie J Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2022
$40.00What a terrific followup to the fabulous 2021. Zingy, tangy fleshy. Intense notes of lemon, preserved, fresh and zest. Green apple, grapefruit, jasmine, orange blossom, almond paste, pastry, oak spice and cream. Linear in shape, certainly a contemporary Yarra style, yet with extract and sinew. Reminiscent of the new wave coming out of the Maconnais, […]
