Lot 462 Crossroad Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
$25.00
Barossa Cabernet has to be one of the most underrated wine styles in Australia. Swathes of blackcurrant and blueberry fruit with a gorgeous lick of toasty oak and mixed spice. There’s real structure here, but this is hidden by the glorious, juicy, plush fruit.
The winemaking philosophy at Lot 462 is simple: less is more. Earlier harvests; long, slow and gentle extractions; judicious use of oak; wild ferments and low inputs all combine to create a suite of wines that is undeniably Barossa Valley, yet in a very contemporary frame. With young-gun winemaker (and next door neighbor) Ben Chipman of Tomfoolery Wines at the helm and getting to know the vineyard better with every vintage, the trajectory for Lot 462 is a very exciting one.

Cooke Brothers Auchli Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$29.00Cabernet from Lyndoch in the Barossa Valley. They take both shiraz and cabernet and this cabernet at least from 2018 is the better of them. Life at times is counter-intuitive. That said, it’s a shiraz-like cabernet. It tastes of sweet plum, blackcurrant, violet and smoked cedarwood and it’s delicious to its back teeth. A modest […]

Nocturne Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$52.00Out of Stock
This vintage was very cool from a Cabernet point of view. In the Sheoak vineyard this presented no issues as we had a lovely April just getting the right amount of concentration into the fruit while retaining elegance and natural charm. In fact 2019 has grown on me a huge amount; it has such silky […]
