Alvaro Palacios Camins del Priorat 2021

Prophet's Rock Cuvee Antipodes Pinot Noir 2019

Region: NZ- Central Otago
Sustainably-made

  "It's a dense, smooth and texturally refined Pinot Noir with floral and black cherry fruit. The powerful structure and muscular yet refined bendigo tannins are honed with a pared-back extraction regimen, but this remains a carefully controlled,...

Mulline Bannockburn Syrah 2021

Region: VIC- Geelong
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

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

  "Liquorice, chocolate, oyster shell, blackberry, a little mint, spice and nutty oak. Deep and concentrated, intense and layered dark fruit and black olive, firm ironstone tannin, such depth and heft, but not really heavy, as such. It’s...

Ravensworth Sangiovese 2021

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

  "It’s baa-ck, the long awaited return of our first love, Sangiovese. Still not up to full volume production but still great to have a cellar half filled again after the loss of the 2020 vintage to smoke. Get in quick, there’s a lot of...

Josetta Saffirio Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

Region: SA- Coonawarra

Box Grove Shiraz Roussanne 2016

Region: VIC- Nagambie Lakes

  "While Cote Rotie complements a tad of viognier with shiraz/syrah, Hermitage utilises marsanne, roussanne and/or both as its colour fixer. Here we have a domestic version and very good it is too. A gentle whiff of reduction soon blows off to...
