Region: VIC- Gippsland
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

  "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...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Blackcurrants, dry cassis characters, malt and truffle-like savoury notes, cedar and woody spice overlaid. There’s a seriousness and authority to the wine, it stands up in the glass in full dress uniform and attention. Lots of seasoning,...

Hardys Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Margaret River, Coonawarra. Full red-purple; a potent, powerful cabernet, the focus on blackcurrant fruit, complexity provided by bay leaf/black olive/mint nuances; French oak is where is should be (on the shoulder of the fruit) and the tannins,...

Banfi Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2016

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

  "The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino offers clean and pristine fruit and otherwise delivers a textbook interpretation of the vintage. Given the large extension of vineyards farmed by this estate, which is located on the southern side of the...

Hardys Eileen Hardy Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Sustainably-made

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 Michael Shiraz 2019

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

  "Matured for 14 months in new and seasoned French oak (15% new). If this doesn't set your heart aflutter, I don't know what will. Featherlight and concentrated at once, this has tissue paper-fine layers of black cherry, blueberry, graphite,...

Produttori del Barbaresco Ovello Riserva 2017

Region: Italy - Barbaresco
Vegan-friendly

  "A heady, explosive wine. I don't think I have ever tasted an Ovello from the Produttori with this much heft. The strong mineral and saline accents typical of this site are present, but they are matched pound for pound by notable mid-palate...

G.D. Vajra Barolo Ravera 2018 DOCG

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "Deep, earthy and stony feel, firm and brooding, bright acidity, dark liquorice and dark fruit, tannin has some grip and while slightly pippy, sits neatly inside the wine. Finish is excellent. Lots of crushed rock to close." - Gary Walsh, Wine...

G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco Delle Viole 2018 DOCG

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "Dried rose and potpourri, aniseed/mint, dried raspberry, spices. Lots of crunch and freshness to the acidity, a little clay-like feel to tannin and lots of length and perfume. Bright. A little more frisky and less concentrated this year, but...

G.D. Vajra Barolo Albe 2018 DOCG

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "This wine consistently delivers one of the greatest values to be found in Italian wine. The G.D. Vajra 2018 Barolo Albe has all its cards in play as an immediately enjoyable and extremely food-friendly Nebbiolo. This really is the top of the...

Standish The Standish Shiraz 2020

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

    "This is concentrated, compacted, plush, dense and muscular, with notes of ras el’hanout, allspice, torched cinnamon and salted Dutch licorice. This wine is like playing "Magic Eye." There’s a lot going on, but if you relax, a...

Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Region: WA- Margaret River
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "This is elegance personified. A silky combination of coiled power and finesse, this is a glorious Cabernet. Blackberries, spices, tobacco leaves, kid leather, violets, cigar box notes, aniseed and delicately integrated oak. There is a...

Cullen Diana Madeline Cabernet Merlot 2020

Region: WA- Margaret River
Vegan-friendly Organic Biodynamic Sustainably-made

  "Another beautiful, soulful release, this one a bit darker, a bit bolder, a mesh of tannins over train tracks and tension, but a wine of significant pedigree and wow factor nonetheless. Dark chocolate and graphite aromas with salted plum, black...

Yeringberg Shiraz 2019

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Shiraz 97%, Viognier 3%. The 2019 Shiraz demonstrates again that our part of the Yarra can produce wonderfully spicy, elegant and age-worthy Shiraz. An energetic array of blueberry, white pepper, and bay leaf aromas leap from the glass, followed...

Lake's Folly White Label Cabernets 2019

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley

Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier 2019

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

  "Some wines have such distinct DNA. This is one of them. It packs so many layers of flavour and depth, yet never moves much beyond medium body. It smells of a souk market; spicy, peppery and exotic. It's replete with dark fruit, wood char and a...

Penfolds Yattarna Chardonnay 2018

Region: Australia-(Other)

  "It’s once again from Tasmania, the Adelaide Hills and Tumbarumba regions. It saw 60% new French oak for eight months. What it lacks in flamboyance it makes up for in finesse. This offers all the complexities you could ever want but if the...
