Giant Steps Wombat Creek Chardonnay 2022

  "The vineyard was originally planted in 1988 with the intention of producing base wine for sparkling production but over the years has been gradually transitioned to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for table wine. The underlying ferrous (red) based...

Giant Steps Sexton Pinot Noir 2022

  "From the Sexton vineyard in Gruyere. Destemmed with whole berries and matured nine months in French barriques (20% new). A deep ruby crimson. The densest and most brooding of the Giant Steps Yarra Valley single-vineyard pinots from 2022. You'll...

Giant Steps Primavera Pinot Noir 2022

  "This is an absolute bloody cracker. It tastes of cranberry and red cherry with pomegranate and twiggy, peppery spice. It’s lively, perfumed, juicy, complex and complete. There’s crunch here, there’s perfume, there’s...

Giant Steps Fatal Shore Pinot Noir 2022

  "“All of the fruits”, winemaker Mel Chester says. She’s 100% spot on here. Fresh, bold, refreshing, floral, blue and red berries, lots of oak spice through the aftertaste, eager as all hell through the mid palate but then...

Sons of Eden Remus Shiraz 2020

  "Developed nose with smoky bacon nuances, seasoned by thyme and oregano, with a core of ripe red fruit and liquorice notes. Fruity and fleshy, quite powerful, with a long warm finish." - Decanter    

d'Arenberg Dead Arm Shiraz 2018

Hochkirch Tarrington Chardonnay 2022

  "Made by Hochkirch from a neighbouring Tarrington Vineyard. Grown using biodynamic practices it resembles a top quality French Chardonnay, with all the line and texture.  Smells of stonefruit and spicy, vanilla oak. The palate has buttery,...

Haut Roc Blanquant St Emilion Grand Cru 2016 375mL-Half-Bottle

  "3rd wine of Château Bélair-Monange, Haut Roc Blanquant is named after a historic parcel of the vineyard of Bélair-Monange. The name translates literally to “high white rock,” underscoring the vineyard’s...

Avani Issan Pinot Noir 2021

  "This is a cool and restrained pinot noir, lithe and shapely, fine boned, a web of lacy, silty tannin lends structure and the wine sits comfortable in its dark cherry, black olive, faintly game meat-meets-rosemary savouriness with a little sweet...

Graham Norton Marmalade Gin 37% 700mL

   “The sweet orange notes are discrete yet unmistakable, combined with the classic botanicals, it's seductively appealing and silky-smooth in the mouth offering loads of delectable flavours with a whiff of spicy overtone." - Sam...

Dr Loosen Urziger Wurzgarten Grosses Gewachs 2021

  "The 2021 Ürziger Würzgarten GG Alte Reben offers a clear, beautifully refined and flinty bouquet of ripe and elegant Riesling fruit spiced with stony splinters. Lush and refined on the palate, this is a very elegant, saline and...

Dr Loosen Erdener Treppchen Grosses Gewachs 2021

  "Loosen's 2021 Erdener Treppchen GG Alte Reben is remarkably refined on the nose that exhibits a delicate and flinty-scented bright stone fruit and Riesling aroma. The palate is round and playful, almost silky and very elegant, leading to an...

Corymbia Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

  "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...

Pierre Usseglio Lirac 2020

  "A blend of 50% Grenache and the rest Cinsault and other permitted varieties, the 2020 Lirac is a fruit bomb done beautifully, offering tons of red and dark fruits, notes of peppery garrigue, medium body, ripe tannins, and a great finish...

Yangarra Ovitelli Blanc 2021

  "Lemon curd, grapefruit, hint graphite waxy aromas. Well concentrated grapefruit, hint nectarine, pear skin flavours, supple slinky/ al dente textures, lovely mid-palate richness and fresh long cutting acidity. Very refreshing and complex –...

Ten Minutes By Tractor Blanc de Blancs 2019

  "The lifted flint and bright citrus on the nose compliment the nutty and brioche characters that are displayed on the palate. A generous mouthfeel from an extended time in bottle on lees is well aligned with the crisp natural acidity driving the...

Place of Changing Winds Syrah 2021

  "Very floral in the perfume, violets and lavender, whiffs of eucalyptus and loads of raspberry, cherry and strawberry, in a fog of scent too. Lots of concentration to taste but with a glossy wash of acidity under the tart red cherry, game meat,...

Place of Changing Winds Marsanne 2021

  "Really textural, rich and potent, a savoury edge and more on the preserved lemon, ginger, buttery honey toast with cool acidity underlying. It’s very complex, a layered and intense experience with Serious White Wine written all over it...

Paul Bara Grand Cru Brut Reserve N.V. 375mL-Half-Bottle

  "Pale gold. Smoky, mineral-tinged aromas of dried pear, melon and white flowers, with a hint of toastiness in the background. Sappy and smooth on the palate, offering pliant orchard and citrus fruit flavors and a touch of buttered toast. Closes...

Hollick Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

  "This is a wine of substantial pedigree, indelibly marked by the menthol, piercing currant and firm, wiry tannins of the region. The fruit is generous, judiciously ripe and not excessive. The oak, too, is handled with aplomb following partial...
