Tim Smith Viognier 2023

Region: SA- Eden Valley

  "Another impressive release from Tim Smith. Some Viogniers are weighty and oily, but not here. Barrel fermented and aged in lees for six months, the freshness and sleek lines are clear. Handled with kid gloves, cut apricots, ginger, flecks of...

Leo Buring Leonay Mature Release Riesling 2017

Spinifex La Maline Shiraz 2021

Standish Lamella Shiraz 2021

Region: SA- Eden Valley

  "If anything, the 2021 Lamella is full of aching potential; its future is writ upon the balance of fruit and skin/stalk tannin, freshness and density. For lovers of this cuvée, I cannot recall seeing it so balanced and poised on release...

Henschke Hill of Roses Shiraz 2018

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

Irvine Estate Merlot 2020

Region: SA- Eden Valley

  "Raspberry, coco and a dash of Turkish delight - lavender and menthol in the background. Sweet red currents, raspberries with a sour morello cherry backbone. Layers of coffee and dark chocolate build a chewy and textural palate." -...

  "Give this wine a sniff and you'll find perfumed blackcurrant fruits impeccably defined, their breadth sweetened with a little oak on the palate, it is intense, deep and salty-savoury but clearly a tenor in range, surging through the palate on a...

Tim Smith Viognier 2022

Henschke Mount Edelstone 2017

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

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

  "The vineyard was planted in 1912, hand-picked, matured in 80% French and 20% American hogsheads (19% new). The vintage was challenging, but this shiraz shows no sign of that. It is full-bodied, very complex and very long, the tannins expertly...
