Varieties

Yangarra High Sands Grenache 2021

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

  "Raspberry, Turkish Delight and Chinese five spice aromatics. Palate is seamless and silken: red fruits, exotic spices, dry earth and rose petals all flow across the palate, all entwined with a fine net of acidity and tannin that lifts and drives...

Yarra Yering Carrodus Shiraz 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Perfumed with blue and black plum fruits with a hint of cured meat. The palate has beautiful density of fruit, liquorice and a slate-graphite minerality. A wonderful season with plenty of hang time for fruit to gain flavour density but retain an...

Henschke Mount Edelstone 2019

Region: SA- Eden Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Biodynamic Sustainably-made

  "Deep, dark dense red-black-purple colours in the glass, the bouquet evokes dried herbs, hot days under a eucalypt forest canopy, complete with underbrush. Very full-bodied, solidly structured and profoundly flavoured, with masses of...

Matrot Meursault 2021

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeBeaune

  "Here too a discreet touch of wood can be found on the pretty aromas of mineral reduction, zest and a similar floral top note. There is a bit more volume and richness to the solidly concentrated medium-bodied flavors that flash evident minerality...

Latour-Giraud Meursault Charles Maxime 2021

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeBeaune

  "23 barrels including small quantities of declassified 1er Crus Perrières, Bouchères and Porusots which could not be made separately. Full bright yellow with a little green in the background. A touch of bacon fat here, but very...

Taupenot-Merme M. Gevrey-Chambertin 2021

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeNuits

  “This is also relatively elegant and cool with its combination of wild red cherry, sauvage and discreet spice whiffs. The precise and almost lilting middleweight flavors possess a lovely sense of tension while displaying fine length on the...

Maggie Hawk Skycrest Chardonnay 2019

Region: USA-(Other)

  "The 2019 Chardonnay Skycrest is a knockout. Bright, floral and energetic, the 2019 is wonderfully detailed and nuanced. Lemon confit, almond, sage, mint and dried flowers lend striking complexity. The 2019 is wonderfully vibrant and sculpted,...

Maggie Hawk Afleet Pinot Noir 2018

Region: USA-(Other)

  "Wonderful breadth, depth, and personality in spades. Afleet incorporates three distinct blocks and whole cluster fermentation to craft a wine with lifted oral notes and pleasantly rustic tannins. Orange blossom and jasmine meld with honeydew,...

Yarra Yering Carrodus Pinot Noir 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Bright crimson colour. Rose petals and cherry fruits. Highly aromatic with some oak adding a vanilla sweetness. An elegant and silky fruit profile, cherry-soft, the palate is silky, seamless and expansive. Some graphite and oak spice lend a fine...

Yarra Yering Carrodus Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Blackcurrant fruits, iodine interest, bay leaf lift, a wonderful energy, fruit purity and precision. A youthful wine with vibrant acidity, fruit volume, a ripe and fine tannin framework that supports the fruit intensity. Fruit sourced from the...

Spring Bay Single Malt Whisky Apera 46%

Region: TAS (Tasmania)

  "Produced using only the finest Tasmanian barley and rainwater, with hand-selected casks, our Apera/Sherry Cask matured Single Malt Whisky delivers caramel & raisins on the nose with lifted floral notes; on the palate feature caramel and...

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2019

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Sustainably-made

Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1988

Region: USA- California- Napa Valley

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2020

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "It's hard to know what more one could ask from this wine. The fruit in the 2020 Astralis Syrah shows rippling prowess—albeit a little frisky at this early stage in its life—polish and intensity that reverberates in the mouth. It has...

Penfolds Bin 169 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "It’s all Coonawarra, it’s all Cabernet Sauvignon and it’s all French oak. The herb notes come straight at you but then the fruit, wow the fruit, it’s a surging wave. Blackcurrant, mint and woodsmoke in pure, commanding,...

Yarra Yering Pinot Noir 2021 1500mL-Magnum

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Red cherry fruits, violets, campari and a side of cured meat. Red cherry fruits dominate the palate with a pinch of Chinese five spice for complexity. A silky elegance combined with a fine tannin structure, enhanced by some inclusion of bunches...

Mount Mary Quintet 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Sustainably-made

  "45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 6% Malbec, 2% Petit Verdot. All the good things. I tasted a 2021 Coleraine the other day, and in many ways, this wine echoes that one. And last year I opened an 18 MM alongside an 18...

La Pousse d'Or Perriere Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 2020

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeNuits

  "A decidedly earthier and more sauvage-inflected nose reflects very fresh notes of poached plum and wild dark cherries. The delicious, vibrant and attractively textured flavors are on the lighter side though I quite like the firm but fine-grained...

Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2019

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "Come from the original 1868 plantings, which is quite something. Black and blue fruit, hazelnut, seaweed, a little nougat and spice. It’s blue fruited, quite dense and firm, but also a little salty, with a fine chew to tannin, savoury...

Jean Luc Jamet Cote-Rotie Les Terraces 2019

Region: France- Rhone Valley Northern

    "The star of the show is the 2019 Côte Rôtie Terrasses, which can thought of as a hypothetical mix of the 2017 and 2018, with perhaps a nod to the 2017. Both red and black fruits, peppery herbs, dried flowers, graphite, and a...
