Carl Loewen Riesling ‘Alte Reben’ 2021
$45.00From 50-70 year old vines, rooted in Devonian slate. Lime zest, fresh earth, minerals, white cherry and blackcurrant. Loewen’s wines possess that rare combination succulence, breadth and richness, tensioned by intense acidity and mineral presence. There is a hint of sweetness, essentially a feinherb, not that it’s labelled as such, and the balance is impeccable. […]

$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.

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 […]

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 […]

Bannockburn Chardonnay 2022 (1500ml)
$150.00There can’t be many Victorian Chardonnays with a track record as impressive as Bannockburn’s. The quality and style on offer can be traced back to the estate’s exceptional, organically farmed sites, the Olive Tree Hill Vineyard (planted in 1976 and abutting the S.R.H parcel) and Winery Block (1981), both on volcanic soils over limestone clays with […]

Domaine Didier Dagueneau Vin de France Pur Sang 2019
$290.00“What I love most about the 2019 Pur Sang is its focus and precision; the compact, light bodied core carries masses of fragrance across the palate and beyond on the long finish. There’s clarity and freshness, with a thread of acidity and minerality pulling the wine through like a needle and thread. It is starting […]

Theo Dancer Vin de France Jurassique Savagnin 2021
$210.00Emphasising purity and terroir rather than flor-aging notes, this is Savagnin ouillé sourced from the fossil-rich marl soils of L’Étoile, in Jura’s southwest. The grapes were pressed and put directly into large oak barrels. The resulting wine is superb. So fine, racy and delicious with lovely texture and a gorgeous, tangy close. Drive, length and finesse; this […]

Evening Land Seven Springs Chardonnay 2021

Immensely complex aromatics with notes of nougat, lemon zest, lime, kaffir lime, frangipanni, sage and fleshy orchard fruits. Very tight and coiled, some textural grip, tarragon, clove and saltbush that coats and grips the palate. Long finish, seemingly dreamy in […]

Weiser-Kunstler Trabener Gaispfad Riesling 2018
$85.00Generally preferring sweeter styled Mosel wines, it’s always a thrill to love the unexpected. Immensely complex, deep and brooding with aromas of gooseberry, kiwi, lime, ruby grapefruit, spring jasmine smoke and earth. Absorbing and immense, it’s hard to grasp the sheer depth and breadth of this wine, yet without heaviness or unnecessary structure. Silkily textured, […]

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 […]

Bachelet-Monnot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts 2020
$320.00“Pale lemon colour. A smoky reduction which is far from unpleasant. The fruit starts to come out, indeed offering excellent depth of fruit, some yellow plums but still fresh, plenty of weight behind and good length.” 91-94 points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy “The 2020 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Referts has a crisp, precise, gunflint-tinged bouquet […]

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, […]

Swinney Riesling 2022
$36.00Gosh, a real step up in intensity from the 2021. Very complex aromatics of salted citrus, lime peel, spring jasmine, grapefruit, orange blossom and spiced apple. Rich and concentrated, extremely powerful, super intense, salty, pithy, textural and precise. Compact and coiled in 2022, requiring a few years to unwind and flesh out. Promises to be […]

Sylvain Pataille Marsannay La Charme Aux Pretres 2019
$235.00Outstanding. Top Value. This is also decidedly restrained and offers only glimpses of the spiced citrus peel and green apple aromas. The rich, full-bodied and intense medium weight flavors are at once caressing yet powerful on the impressively long and saline-suffused finish. This too is very good for its level. 88-91 points, Allen Meadows, Burghound […]

Seehof Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling 2018
$55.00A great vineyard, Kirchspiel for me is defined by a lavish richness, without the driving power and textured structure of Morstein. Ripe lime, grapefruit, tangerine, cherry, preserved lemon and star jasmine. Pure and translucent, you can almost feel, the perfect roundness of ripe grapes. Full bodied, lavish of course, juicy and bright. Soft acids, folded […]
