By Farr Sangreal Pinot Noir 2024

$140.00

An older vineyard than the Farrside, planted in 1994 and, for me, the Farr’s most unique expression of pinot noir. The long even vintage has yielded a wine of spotless cut, with the colours and profiles of the four seasons. Never has it been more immediate and impudent, it’s so pinot, but no other pinot […]

Joshua Cooper Doug’s Vineyard Pinot Noir 2025

A familiar wine, with a flavour profile and shape that remains reassuringly consistent year on year. Elegant and finely detailed, with lacy tannins – a clear departure from more rugged, rough-hewn Pinots. Sandalwood, fresh herbs and blueberry lead into a compote of English summer red fruits. The palate finishes mouth-watering and gently tightening, bringing focus […]

Pale pink and effortlessly polished, this is Provencal in spirit, with fresh strawberry and raspberry, mouth-watering cranberry and pink grapefruit, all underpinned by a fine, chalky edge. Light, refreshing and beautifully balanced, it feels far more expensive than it is. Superb value, seriously impressive rosé.

“Light straw in colour with green edges, the nose shows some distinct floral notes of tea tree and manuka with sage flower in the background. On the palate there is plenty of fresh lemon zest characters typical of Coal River Valley with some yellow nectarine filling out the fruit profile. This fruit is perfectly integrated […]

Corymbia Calgardup Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

$70.00

“The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon springs from a most glorious season in Western Australia (WA), and in particular, Margaret River. I judged at eight wine shows last season, six of which had classes of wines from Western Australia in 2023. It is my estimation that 2023 was a vintage that extracted the very best from every […]

Traviarti Black Springs Nebbiolo 2023

Traviarti’s Simon Grant helped establish this vineyard, which will no doubt be a source of great Nebbiolo. Considering how young the vines are, this is remarkable. Highly aromatic – more so than the estate wine – with crushed rose, English summer fruit compote, beetroot and ruby grapefruit. The palate is expansive and finely shaped, with […]

Mulline Pinot Noir 2025

“Made from fruit sourced from the Moorabool Valley, Surf Coast and Portarlington. 10% whole bunches and 15% new oak. A really bright crimson ruby. With its aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry and some whole bunch–derived pepper and spice, there’s a lot going on in this well put-together and attractively priced wine. The palate is medium […]

Salo Yarra Valley Chardonnay 2025

$55.00

From the Full Moon vineyard in Gladysdale, which, sadly (and in a sign of the times), has been pulled out by the owner. Salo has another vineyard lined up for ’26. In the meantime, this is an excellent way to go out. Brightly coloured with aromas of nectarine kernel, citrus peel, flint and light marine […]

Bicknell FC Lance Close Planted Pinot Noir 2024

$85.00

From the Lance vineyard, planted to 8300 vines/ha in 1989; a vineyard that produced some of the Yarra’s most coveted pinots in the 1980s. A light, very bright crimson red. Fragrant and even more pure fruited than the excellent Applecross pinot off the same vineyard. Aromas of alpine strawberries, redcurrants, bergamot and subtle floral notes […]

A Rodda Cuvee de Chais 2022

An array of red and purple fruits (think redcurrants, dark cherries and plums), heightened by aromas of violets and wild herbs. The supple fruit characters are interwoven with fine, velvety tannins giving the wine great balance and finesse. ‘Cuvée de Chais’ loosely translates as Cellar Blend and is Adrian’s interpretation of a traditional Bordeaux […]

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2023

$45.00

From the two oldest blocks on the Bondar-owned Rayner vineyard. The 1960 vines are on clay and limestone; the 1950s, being the major component, on deep sand with ironstone. Andre Bondar is never going to pursue rich styles, but this bottling usually has a little more supple generosity. That’s still true here, with a sultry […]

Mulline Pinot Gris 2025

20% was crushed and fermented on skins for seven days. A pale, bright salmon colour. Beautifully poised with its aromas of redcurrant, nectarine, pear and blood orange. Even better on the palate, where the flavours and texture are perfectly balanced by subtle time-on-skins tannins, before finishing orange-pithy and long. Should age nicely, too. Excellent. 96 […]

Granite Hills 1971 Block Riesling 2022

Intense aromatics of passionfruit, lime, blackcurrant, cherry, stone fruits, honey, mustard and savoury spice. Dense, concentrated, in fact, perhaps the deepest core of power that I have tasted in an Australian Riesling. Expansive palate, direct in flavour, precise scaffold, chalky texture and that width! There is so much hidden here, so much pleasure to come. […]

Saltfleet Grenache 2024

$40.00

There’s an understatement to this. That’s not meant as detriment. It’s the thing about Saltfleet, from a youthful pair that crammed in intense experience with top mentors. There’s a maturity to the wines, a lack of flashiness. They go to the heart of things swiftly. So, there’s a certain refinement. There’s a little reduction, too, […]

Frederick Stevenson Grenache 2023

An awesome Barossa Grenache that stands apart from the pack. A compote of sweet red fruits layered with orange peel, earth, alpine herbs and sweet spice. Curvy and energetic, it carries a surprising sense of lightness despite its richness. Firm, fine tannins and a savoury edge bring tension and shape, pulling everything into focus. Distinctive, […]

Pipan Steel Tesoro Nebbiolo 2018

Tasted alongside the 2017, the 2018 vintage is warmer and drier, and so fuller, with a slightly darker fruit profile and pronounced structure. Gorgeous aromatics of cola, aniseed, cassis, rose, geranium, bitumen and savoury spice. Rich and full flavoured, but in no way heavy and the overall impression is one of translucence and purity. Round […]

Crawford River Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Bright ruby. Opens with a core of pure blackcurrant cabernet fruit together with scents of cedar, violets and a very gentle leafiness.

From several districts, off old, dry-grown bush vines. The ferments are all nuanced, but all are wild, and there is always some whole bunch; maturation for eight months in old French oak.

Grosset Alea Riesling 2024

Alea holds some additional sweetness as its canon. There’s an appealing and ultra-high drinkability here. Charm in spades. Floral scents of frangipani and lemon blossom with candied ginger, lime juice, just-ripe pineapple and tonic water. Similar to taste with a slipperiness to texture that feels well metered by the building crispness of the finish. More […]
