Alvaro Palacios Camins del Priorat 2021

Region: Spain-(Other)

  "The joyous Priorat Garnatxa is fresh and vibrant on nose and in the mouth. Its darker elements are herbed and spiced, nutty tree wood, rose hip and parsnip, and ashy-earth. It’s both prettily-fruited and mineral-edged, with a deep, pure...

Mulline Bannockburn Syrah 2021

Region: VIC- Geelong
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "Beautiful wine. It has so much personality that it’s likely to be polarising, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Sweet nuts, mezcal, cherry plum and woodsmoke, with a suggestion of truffles about the edges. But those truffle notes...

Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

Box Grove Shiraz Roussanne 2016

Region: VIC- Nagambie Lakes
