Verget Mâcon Bussieres Vignes de Montbrison 2021
$70.00Another cuvée that transcends the challenges of the vintage is the 2021 Mâcon-Bussières Vignes de Montbrison, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive white evocative of citrus zest, pear, white flowers, toasted almonds and fresh pastry. 89 points, William Kelley, The Wine Advocate The Mâcon-Bussières vineyard is situated to the north of the stunning […]

Gerard Duplessis Chablis 2020
$80.00The 2020 Chablis Village is a step up from the Petit Chablis, as you would expect, with more intensity and complexity; green apple and freshly-sliced pears are present on the nose. The palate is well balanced with a lightly-spiced entry, hints of stem ginger interpolating the malic fruit with a nicely weighted finish. Give this […]

Rippon Mature Vine Riesling 2020
$55.00A Riesling of great drama, concentration and tension, of a style rarely found outside Germany. Exotic yellow fruits, cherry, green apple, savoury spice, apricot, yellow peach and honeysuckle. Medium bodied, deep and pure, a thrilling tense palate, Saar like. Rippling energy, gripped with piquant acidity, squeezing phenolics and dusted by mineral salts. Tamed by residual […]

Tyrrell’s Stevens Museum Release Semillon 2011
$85.00Aromatic and complex nose of custard apple, preserved lemon, lime and white flowers. Plush, fleshy, pulpy palate, white and yellow peach, apricot, nectarine and dried herbs. Texturally complex, beginning lanolin like, before firming up and becoming chalky. Remarkably youthful, and delicious to drink now, but has decades ahead. Classic Hunter River Burgundy and the finest […]

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 […]

Donnhoff Oberhauser Leistenberg Riesling Kabinett 2022
$65.00Stand back as this riesling lightning strike arrives. Complex nose of dried flowers and summer meadows. Ripe and juicy, but also very elegant and crisp with stunning mineral freshness at the very long pointed finish. Delicious, but also excellent potential. From organically grown grapes with Fair’n Green certification. Drink or hold. 94 Points, Stuart Pigott […]

Stargazer Chardonnay 2022
$65.00Higher toned and more angular than the 2021, the 2022 is wider and less round in shape. 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 […]

Patrick Sullivan Black Sands Chardonnay 2022
$50.00Light-medium straw colour; aromas of poached peach, melon skin, a note of freshly sliced almond. Citron also. The wine is broad and concentrated in the front of the mouth, the finish dropping away just a little early, and leaving a faintly bitter echo from phenolics. Possibly some skin ferment? A left-field style, and pretty smart […]

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 […]

La Soufrandière Mâcon-Vinzelles Le Clos de Grand-Père 2021
$90.00Biodynamic. This comes from a very old, genuine Clos (walled vineyard) that sits on a very rocky, hard limestone bedrock that’s close to the surface and is believed to be an old Roman path. This vineyard is on the lower part of the Pouilly-Vinzelles slope and is therefore classed as Mâcon-Vinzelles. The site was purchased by […]

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 […]

Julian Haart Wintricher Ohligsberg Spatlese 2019

Decadent, every sip revealing different facets and nuance. The acidity is perfect, balancing the sweetness, and driving the carry. One of the very best Mosel spatleses.

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 […]

Crawford River Noble Dry Riesling 2022
$65.00Noble Dry was born in 2011, when we left a section of a single block for one week following a downpour and subsequent warmth toward the end of the season. The result was a high percentage of early onset Botrytis, which results in colour and flavour change to the berry, without the active, grey mould […]

Alheit Vineyards Hereafter Here Chenin Blanc 2021
$65.00First produced in 2020, this Chenin Blanc hails from dry farmed, bush vine vineyards that are less than 20 years’ old, blending components from Stellenbosch and the Swartland. Savoury and refreshing, with mouth-watering acidity, rock salt and lemongrass flavours and the zip that’s typical of the 2021 whites. 94 points – TIm Atkin MW […]

Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2023
$79.00An outstanding release of this vaunted wine. It’s intense, it’s racy, it’s complex and nuanced in its fruit, spice, mineral and subtle savoury elements, all of it woven into an extremely persistent and poised textural experience. There’s stacks of flavour in all this, yet held within a tensile thrust of raciness and faint chalky pucker. […]

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 […]

Mercer Limited Release Chardonnay 2022
$50.00From one of the country’s great Chardonnay vineyards, much of the fruit going towards Penfolds Yattarna. High toned aromatics of lemon and lime, zest, citrus marmalade, star jasmine, wood spice and cream. Shaped like an inverted pyramid. The attack is razor sharp, on point and then it fans out with sumptuous flesh, texture and extract. […]

Weiser-Kunstler Steffensberg “im Lowenbaum” Riesling 2020
$65.00Dry Mosel riesling at it’s incomparable best. Expressive sensual and exotic notes of mustard seed, yellow peach, kiwifruit, cherry, smoke, fresh compost and grapefruit. Packed with flavour, yet light as a feather. Where else could decadence be married to such a lightness of touch. Silky and ripe with blackcurrant, lavender soap, fennel, green peppercorns, pawpaw […]

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 […]

Alheit Vineyards Hemelrand Vine Garden 2021
$80.00The 2021 Hemelrand Vine Garden is one of Chris Alheit’s biggest successes and encapsulates everything great about his wine. Initially quite neutral, it reveals wondrous sea spray, honeysuckle, Provençal herbs and hints of powdered chalk on the nose. The palate has exquisite balance, very cohesive and intense, yet the acidity keeps this so fresh with […]

Super energy, not surging, but rather like a dancer, each step revealing something new. Chiseled and compact, this has so much more to offer if you can be patient. Mandarin, sage, lemon oil, green mango, […]

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 […]
