Fighting Gully Road Gros Manseng ‘Moelleux’ 2019 (375ml)
$35.00
Gros Manseng made in the traditional style of the Jurançon, of south-west France. Harvested late in April this complex wine has unique aromas of mango, lychee and pineapple; while on the palate, richness is softened by the varieties citrus-like acidity, giving a fresh finish to the wine.
90g/L RS. The wine’s sweetness appears as a lemon pastille-like zingy brightness and is largely emphasised across the mid-palate where it is artfully matched by equally zesty acidity. Honeysuckle, quince, citrus, nectarine and honey frame this elegant dessert style, which also signals further fruitful ageing potential. The famous grape of the Jurançon in southwest France has found a new home in Oz. 375ml – 92 points – Jeni Port for Halliday Wine Companion

Luscious and intense with thrusting acidity and slightly textured. There is a reductive nutty element that balance’s the sweetness of the wine, but there’s […]

Quinta Do Noval LBV Unfiltered 2017
$75.00One of the best LBV’s tasted in a long time. I often find them losing a little bit of freshness and bitter notes too apparent. Not a bit of it here, however! Oozing aromatics of blackcurrant, blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, prunes, dates, violets and mint. Luscious and full bodied, some clove and cinnamon, the spice […]
