Domaine Naturaliste Morus Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Region: WA- Margaret River
Sustainably-made

  “Classic Margaret River Cabernet. Ripe yet compressed fruit sings from the glass with lovely purity. I had to check my hands for juice stains, as the nose is resplendent of freshly picked mulberries: ripe and delicate and oh-so-heady...

Thousand Candles Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "Blackcurrant, blackberry, tobacco, floral, subtle roasted red capsicum, just a little cedar/vanilla oak. It’s dense, ripe dark fruit with something of an earthy/tobacco/coffee ground bass, plush silty tannin, balanced acidity, and a long...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Like the 2018 that preceded it, this is a wine of stature, precision and endurance. The tannins are fine and omnipresent, but then a cabernet without tannins would be like a person without purpose. This is direct, forthright and confident, with...

Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Such fine-grained tannin, such even-handed fruit, such a lengthy finish. This is a beautiful Black Label cabernet, elegantly medium-bodied, blessed with blackcurrant, forest berry, cool mint and cedar characters, and tempered by tobacco-like...

Palliser Single Vineyard Hua Nui Pinot Noir 2021

Region: NZ- Martinborough
Organic Sustainably-made

  "Deep scarlet in colour, the aromas of this forthright, vital Pinot evoke both raspberries and plums. On the palate, too, the wine is energetic and exuberant; its structure derives from that force of fruit, darkened by oak and lifted by ripe,...

Craggy Range Sophia Merlot Cabernet Franc 2021

Region: NZ- Hawkes Bay
Organic Sustainably-made

  "A blend of merlot and cabernet franc from the Gimblett Gravels district. Beautifully scented wine with intense cherry/berry, dark-fleshed plum, a suggestion of floral and spicy French oak flavours. Well-structured wine with gently mouthwatering...

Massolino Barolo 2019

Region: Italy - Barolo
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "Pure, yet savory, with a stony, mineral punch to the orange peel, strawberries and dried herbs. I love the clarity and the tautness on the palate, with elegant but gutsy flavors of minerals and fruit, together with firm tannins that show Barolo...

Craggy Range Le Sol Syrah 2021

Region: NZ- Hawkes Bay
Organic Sustainably-made

  "Inky, intense colour with great aroma depth and flavours suggesting cassis, dark-fleshed plum, dark chocolate, black pepper, violets and concentrated berries. Powerful wine that is built for the long haul with an impressive structure of fine,...

Craggy Range Aroha Pinot Noir 2021

Region: NZ- Martinborough
Organic Sustainably-made

  "Fragrant, floral pinot noir with cassis, dark cherry, red rose, cacao nib the dominant flavours right now, with many other more subtle characters in support. I love the enlivening acid and tannic structure which gives the wine an exciting energy...

Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Region: WA- Margaret River
Sustainably-made

  "A classic and unhindered expression of Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, sculpted tannins and lifted red berry perfumes. A paragon of personality, purpose and approachability for those who enjoy soft tannins, succulent red fruits and simply...

Bondar Wines Vestige Grenache 2021

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "A rare beast, and likely a one off. A 30 dozen production from a 100 year old patch of Grenache in the McLaren Flat.  Rich, dark raspberry, nutty, some gum leaf and mint perfume, but so much power here. It’s distinctly minty and gum...

Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2018 1500mL-Magnum

Region: Spain- Rioja
Organic Sustainably-made

  "The last cold vintage we had" is how Luis Valentin describes 2018, a vintage that saw 600mm of rain. This Rioja Alta Tempranillo from the area around Haro is suitably fresh, refined and focused, showing graceful tannins, chalky minerality and...

SC Pannell No220 Grenache 2022

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "There’s a huge wallop of primary fruit flavours including blood orange, cranberry and dark chocolate but the finish is savoury and coated with myrtle. A luscious fruit driven palate with a tannic frame. Mouth filling but not...

Mount Mary Marli Russell RP2 Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Sustainably-made

  "It’s complex and a wine of many layers. Raspberry and blackberry, plenty of perfume and spice, hazelnut, something in the way of dried herbs and earth. Medium-bodied, no shortage of red and black fruit, rose oil, but also something a...

Allevare Cabernet Franc 2022

Region: VIC- Nagambie Lakes
Sustainably-made

  "A Novello style red, perfect chilled or at room temperature. Grown in the Shelmerdine Vineyard, red and brown sandy clay loams of south-eastern Australia, plus yellow-brown clay loams and gritty, gravelly quartzose sands laid down by the...

Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

Pierre-Marie Chermette Beaujolais Les Griottes 2021 375mL-Half-Bottle

Region: France- Beaujolais
Organic Sustainably-made

  "So exuberant you could be tasting out of barrel, the nose is flush with sappy red fruit, hemmed by perfumed floral notes. The palate tells the same, delicious story through a prism of vibrant cherry fruit, tangy acidity and a crunchy, scented...

Vasse Felix Tom Cullity Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec 2019

Region: WA- Margaret River
Organic Sustainably-made

  "Medium deep crimson. Fragrant pure blackcurrant, chinotto, hint violet aromas with vanilla, roasted chestnut notes. Generously concentrated with ample cassis, roasted chestnut flavours, fine lacy/ grainy textures, lovely mid-palate richness/...

Corymbia Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Region: WA-(Other)
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "It’s a graceful style of Cabernet, fine boned and fresh. Blackberry, strawberry, redcurrant, potpourri, slight smoky bacon bone character, and a sea spray/brine kind of thing. Tannin is tight with an emery board texture, subtle...

Region: Italy - Other
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "The 2019 Flaccianello della Pieve is another stunning wine that sums up the character of the vintage and reflects the sun-drenched beauty of its quintessentially Tuscan surroundings. Giovanni Manetti and his team have two new important wines in...
