Varieties

Wynns Black Label Shiraz 2019

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

    "Some fruit comes off the Undoolya vineyard planted in 1894. This has slipped comfortably into a seamless wine. Supple, ripe fruit, lightly spiced with cedar, liqorice root and cinnamon. The palate is fuller bodied but so restrained. The...

Curly Flat Pinot Noir 2022

Region: VIC- Macedon Ranges
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "I like the stringiness of this, the tension, the fruit, the length. It’s real pinot. It feels as though it’s desperate to rush forward but it holds itself back until it gets to the finish, where it runs. It has a minerally aspect, a...

Curly Flat Chardonnay 2022

Region: VIC- Macedon Ranges
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "This is quite slender, more slender than I usually associate with Curtly Flat, though it builds flesh and flavour as it breathes and it will no doubt continue to do so as it matures. It tastes of cedar and nectarine, grapefruit and green apple,...

Adelina Shiraz Mataro 2022

Region: SA- Clare Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic

  "75% Shiraz from 1902 (Aberfeldy) plantings, and 25% Mataro from 2012 plantings (Adelina). Raspberry, blueberry, dried roses, a little mint, some charcuterie, and liquorice. It’s fleshy and ripe, plenty of almost freeze dried small red and...

Adelina Polish Hill River Riesling 2023

Region: SA- Clare Valley
Organic

  "Tangy lemon zest, a little salt and floral perfume, lots of talc-like texture, perhaps a little coarse, but such a good delivery of zesty citrus peel and tangy bite, that it’s very easy to like. Length is good. All the lime drizzled...

Adelina Estate Shiraz 2022

Region: SA- Clare Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic

  "Blackberry, raspberry, a little sweet baking spice, mint and floral perfume, though those things, while good, mean nothing until you put the wine in your mouth; then it really takes off. This is a liquid ‘mineral’ delight, and the...

Adelina Estate Introspect Red Blend 2022

Region: SA- Clare Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic

  "Strawberry, cherry, white flowers, mint, orange peel, aniseed, dried herbs, apricot. It’s a riot of perfume and red fruits, it has a sappy sort of white wine acidity, but plenty of red fruits too, dusty and peppery tannin, juicy and...

Quealy Tussie Mussie Pinot Gris 2023

Region: VIC- Mornington Pen

    "The wine is a luscious golden liquid in the glass. The aroma of ripe orchard fruits, spice and honey is confirmed on the palate with the gentlest suggestion of sweetness. Richness and warmth are evident in the aroma and mouth feel...

Murdoch Hill Apollo Pinot Noir 2022

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

  "Whiffs of cap gun, warm slate, a bit of flint too, plus dark cherry, salted liquorice. Savoury start, very. Smoky and flinty to taste, an override on dark cherry fruit, plum, licks of liquorice again and lingers with smokiness again. Tannins...

Bondar Wines Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2022

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

    "This exceptional Shiraz is drawn from the two oldest blocks in the Rayner Vineyard, planted in 1950. Three-quarters of the fruit comes from Block 24 in the northeast corner of the vineyard, on deep sandy soils with ironstone rocks,...

Bondar Wines Junto Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2023

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

  "Frisky red fruited style with a smattering of dried herb and lemon zest. It’s light to medium-bodied, strawberry and orange rind, light grip of tannin, kind of edgy in character, though I like the fresh spiced and sappy strawberry thing it...

Wynns Michael Shiraz 2021

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "A wine that is only made in the better vintages although it has made more regular appearances in recent years, thanks to the combination of vintages and vast improvements in viticulture that were part of the Wynns overhaul some years ago. This...

Wynns Messenger Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "One of the picks of the 2021 vintage releases, Messenger comes from The Messenger vineyard located at the southern end of Coonawarra’s famous terra rossa strip. Each year, Wynns winemakers choose a premium parcel of fruit from a single...

Wynns Black Label Shiraz 2022

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Sweet black berries rise from the glass followed by red fruits, aniseed and a whisper of woodsy oak before a rush of Aussie bush scents and bay leaf. Old Vines – widely known as Black Label Shiraz – unfolds in the glass with ease,...

SC Pannell Smart Grenache 2022

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

  "Really attractive perfume of alpine herbs, almost genepy-like amaro character, sour cherry, faint maraschino cherry, cranberry and rose hip tea. The palate has a good sinewy bite around the more juicy, ripe red and black cherry flavours, some...

SC Pannell Old McDonald Grenache 2022

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

  "Potent, full flavoured, decidedly ripe in fruit spectrum, sweet in its profile albeit tempered with pleasing bitter herbal elements, savoury notes and saline mineral characters. That being said, there’s some slurpiness here, despite a web...

SC Pannell Little Branch Grenache 2022

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

  "In the bouquet, lots of cherry elixir, maraschino, pickled cherry, strawberry, raspberry lollies and whiffs of aniseed, cola and cardamom/caraway seed savouriness. The palate an able reflection of the bouquet, a cinch of building, dusty tannin...

Mulline Sutherlands Creek Chardonnay 2023

Region: VIC- Geelong
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "This is another excellent chardonnay from Mulline. The power, the poise and the persistence are all A-class, the presence the perfect icing. Grapefruit, grilled peach, citrus and smoked cedarwood characters come laced with mineral, struck match...

Mulline Modewarre Fume Blanc 2023

Region: VIC- Geelong
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "There’s steel to this wine, bite, fruit power and noteworthy length. It’s a cutting wine but it’s also a wine that takes command of the glass. It tastes of gravels, stones, woodsmoke, thistles and grasses, its fruit notes in...

Place of Changing Winds Between Two Mountains Pinot Noir 2022

Region: VIC- Macedon Ranges
Vegan-friendly Organic
