Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Sustainably-made

Fugue De Nenin Pomerol 2016

Region: France- Bordeaux Right Bank

  "The second wine of the estate, the 2016 Fugue de Nenin is 79% Merlot and 21% Cabernet Franc that sees a slightly shorter time in oak. This elegant, medium-bodied, impressively balanced 2016 has a fleshy, forward style as well as classic damp...

Champagne Andre Robert Les Terroirs 2016

Region: France- Champagne

  "50% Chardonnay and 50% Pinot Noir. Extremely elegant, highly aromatic Grower Champagne delivering a palate with drive and persistence, generating a myriad of white fruit flavours on its long, luxurious finish. The palate is at once creamy, but...

Produttori del Barbaresco Don Fiorino Riserva 2016

Region: Italy - Barbaresco
Vegan-friendly

  "Incredible aromas of white truffle, wet earth, lightly burnt orange peel and pure fruit. Medium-bodied and very compact with a block of silky tannins that run through the palate with a gorgeous texture. It is very drinkable now but will age...

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

Region: France- Bordeaux Right Bank

  "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...

Chateau La Fleur Peyrabon Pauillac 2016

Region: France- Bordeaux Left Bank

  'Deep crimson. Dusty, dark-fruited finesse on the nose with a touch of cedar/pencil. Refined, fragrant, almost smoky. Elegant, fine-boned tannins and a long fresh finish. 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot.' - Jancis Robinson

Chateau La Fleur Pourret St Emilion Grand Cru 2016

Region: France- Bordeaux Right Bank

  "This is a fine example of St Emilion Grand Cru with a profile indicating this will age particularly well. Plum and cherry with cocoa and graphite are evident on the nose. The palate is softly textured with nice chalky tannins which are so well...

Leasingham Classic Clare Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "The term 'Classic' is entirely apt with the Clare's signature billow of dark fruit and spice, sluiced by a verdant lift of peppermint patty, drying across a bed of astringent tannins. These serve the purpose, though, corralling the flavours...

Petaluma Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 2016 Evans Vineyard

Region: SA- Coonawarra

    "Lots of purple remaining in this deep crimson colour, the bouquet shows toasty-oak laced dark berries, with a layer of very dark chocolate. It's very full-bodied and firm, rich and dense with masses of tannins providing formidable...

Fox Creek Reserve Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly

   "Persistent aromas of liquorice, black currant and blackberry with a full bodied ripe fruit style with well integrated tannins. Big and concentrated flavours." - Silver, International Wine Challenge  

Dr Loosen Urziger Wurzgarten Grosses Gewachs Reserve 2016

Region: Germany
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "Green fruit opens the aromatic curtain on the olfactory stage, where delicate citrusy notes and a hint of spice also put in an appearance. This is the most intense of Ernie Loosen’s Grosse Gewächse, grapefruit and melon the main fruit...

Gueissard Cuvee G Bandol Rouge 2016

Region: France-(Other)

  "This estate that has vines in both Bandol and Côtes de Provence appellations has two powerful Bandol reds in its range. Rich and spicy, this wood-aged wine is still young and packed with juicy red fruits. Dominate by structured...

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...

Croix Canon St Emilion Grand Cru 2016

Region: France- Bordeaux Right Bank

  "The 2016 Croix Canon is a blend of 76% Merlot and 24% Cabernet Franc this year and matured in 25% new oak. It has a very precise bouquet with blackcurrant, touches of blueberry and subtle mineral aromas, gaining intensity as it opens in the...

Einaudi Barolo Bussia DOCG 2016

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "Deepish red colour with purple tints and touch of brick-red. The bouquet is strong on dried herbs and straw, very savoury and non-fruity, the palate confirming this style in an emphatic way. Traces of meat-stock, dried porcini...

Hardys Eileen Hardy Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Sustainably-made

  "This old vine cuvee has spent 17 months in new French oak and shows it. Rich. Flamboyant. Manicured. And yet the clench of cedary oak, firm. This needs time for the violet, boysenberry, kirsch and sash of black olive, anise and cracked pepper to...

Woodlands Clementine Eloise Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

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

  "It made for a challenging assignment when I had to choose just one wine to be my wine of the year in my annual West Australian Wine Guide 2020. In the end I came down with the Woodlands, which I have to say has claims to be finest yet in this...

Serafino Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Region: SA- McLaren Vale

  "Estate-grown, matured in French and American oak. A powerful, full-bodied cabernet with sultry black fruits decorated by firm varietal tannins. Will long outlive the patience of many consumers, and reward those who wait, for it is well balanced...

Segla by Chateau Rauzan Margaux 2016

Region: France- Bordeaux Left Bank
Organic

  "Racy and inviting, all qualities found in the Grand Vin, but naturally on a smaller scale. Silky tannins and soft, pliant, red-toned fruit all add to the wine's early appeal. There is so much to like in this expressive, open-knit second wine...

De Iuliis Aged Semillon 2016

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley

  "Starting to display complexities of an aged Semillon; delicate citrus characters combine with lanolin and chamomile to come through on the palate. An excellent line of acidity adds to good length of flavour. The Single Vineyard range...
