Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Glaetzer Amon Ra Shiraz 2022

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

"I feel that Ben Glaetzer's Amon-Ra is one of the flag bearers for contemporary Barossan shiraz, certainly when it comes to the more powerful, weighty styles. It has a sense of compression. Wildly concentrated black fruits and palate heft, yet it...

By Farr Shiraz 2022

Region: VIC- Geelong

By Farr Farrside Pinot Noir 2022

Region: VIC- Geelong

  "A pitch perfect Farrside. Darker spice notes and bright spicy fruit. There’s real intensity on the nose, it’s vibrancy almost underplays the density of this wine. The palate has smart oak integration and just sits in front of the...

Murdoch Hill the Phaeton Pinot Noir 2023

Region: SA- Adelaide Hills
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

Bream Creek Pinot Noir 2023

Region: TAS (Tasmania)

Swinney Mourvedre 2022

Region: WA- Great Southern
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

Ravensworth Estate Sangiovese 2022

Region: ACT (Canberra)
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "A kind of crispness and crunch to this wine, with hallmark spice, red cherry fruitiness, herbal elements in tow. Fine strings of lacy tannin firm things up, the wine almost feels just a few pay grades up from rose but for its layers of fruit and...

Lethbridge Gamay 2022

Region: VIC- Geelong

  "Nutty, juicy and dry, and feels pretty convincing in the context of its lightness. It’s a refreshing red. It’s (red) cherried and boysenberries with well-integrated inlays of woodsy herbs. Indeed there’s almost a blood orange...
