[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Cabernet 2004

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

"Totally classic Cabernet. Nose has powerful notes of cedar with hints of Cabernet leaf - though not at all in the green spectrum. Very tight structure with gripping tannin is a feature of the palate. This is a real thoroughbred - long and composed...

[SOLD-OUT] Dry River Pinot Noir 2005

Region: NZ- Martinborough

"The wine is a rich ruby right through to its edge. A delicate floral lift in bouquet is followed by a range of berry aromas with hints of talc and aromatic black tea. As for the Pinot gris, first impressions are of minerality and fullness giving...

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Shiraz Warner Vineyard 2010

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Sustainably-made

Jeremy Oliver 94 points!“Elegant and tightly focused, this dusty, faintly herbal shiraz has the length and structure to flesh out nicely. Its retrained smoky and floral bouquet of dark berries, cherries, plums and cedar/chocolate oak is lifted by a meaty...

[SOLD-OUT] Dalwhinnie Eagle Shiraz 2010

Region: VIC- Pyrenees
Organic Sustainably-made

Wine Front 95 points!“First Dalwhinnie Eagle Shiraz since the 2005. 30% whole bunches. It’s a complex, layered wine. Has a terrific firmness too; it’s almost aristocratic. Flavours of beetroot and plum, soy and dried woody spice. Roses, red and fragrant...

[SOLD-OUT] Dry River Pinot Noir 2004

Region: NZ- Martinborough

"Our Pinots have quite high levels of fruit tannins and low levels of new oak (ca 20%) compared to the majority of NZ and even French Pinots. This helps create a long-lived wine with what we believe is a more authentic expression of "terroir". In the...

[SOLD-OUT] Dry River Pinot Noir 2003

Region: NZ- Martinborough

Bob Campbell 93 Points!"The usual criticsm for this incredibly dense wine is "it's a very impressive red, but it's not Pinot Noir". I believe that time will restore any appearant loss of varietal integrity. Furthermore I've put my money where my mouth is...

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Shiraz Warner Vineyard 2008

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

Jeremy Oliver Rating 96!"Its peppery, spicy bouquet of deep red and black fruits, dark chocolate and gamey, cedary oak reveals hints of musk, blueberries and briar. Backed by powerful, fine-grained savoury oak, it's medium to full-bodied but densely...

[SOLD-OUT] Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2003

Region: NZ- Martinborough

Bob Campbell 93 Points!"Ata Rangi is New Zealand's most distinguished Pinot Noir producer although its status is being challenged by one or two winemakers in Central Otago. This Martinborough winery is famous for making intense silken-textured wines that...

[SOLD-OUT] Dry River Pinot Noir 2002

Region: NZ- Martinborough

"...It has an intense ruby colour, and aromas of flowers, cherries, even nuts and a background of plums. Phenolic ripeness (and therefore harvest) came later in the 2002 season because of the full canopies, and this is evidenced in riper flavours and...

[SOLD-OUT] Dry River Pinot Noir 2001

Region: NZ- Martinborough

"Like the Chardonnay, this wine shows its vintage: fresh varietal flavours, firm structure, restrained alcohol and accented floral character. The colour is typical for Dry River - a dense ruby with a purple rim, with the nose showing violets, sweet...

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Shiraz Warner Vineyard 2006

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Shiraz Warner Vineyard 2005

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

Jeremy Oliver Rating 96!"A massively proportioned shiraz by the standards of this vineyard, and one whose meaty ripeness and treatment with bruising, charry oak simply demands time in the cellar. It opens with exaggerated slowness to reveal deep,...

[SOLD-OUT] Chateau Coutet a Barsac Sauternes 1983

Region: France- Bordeaux- Sauternes Barsac

The miracle vintage, 1983 is the result of a terrible spring with late bud development and a hot, humid summer. The harvest took place from September 23rd to November 18th. The nose is full of citrus aromas. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced,...

[SOLD-OUT] Dalwhinnie Eagle Shiraz 2005

Region: VIC- Pyrenees

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Shiraz Warner Vineyard 2004

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

"The 2004 vintage was an exceptional year for reds; dry, cool weather produced wines that delivered power, finesse and complexity at much lower alcohol levels. In short, ripeness without sweetness, power without the heavy cloying hand of overripe fruit...

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Chardonnay 2006 Estate Vineyard

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

"There are certainly Australian Chardonnays with a cult following. A prime example is Giaconda from the high Ovens Valley in Victoria, made in tiny quantities and difficult to run to earth. This is the sort of wine Americans call funky, i.e. far from the...

[SOLD-OUT] Ata Rangi Pinot Noir 2000 1500mL-Magnum

Region: NZ- Martinborough

[SOLD-OUT] Dalwhinnie Eagle Shiraz 2004

Region: VIC- Pyrenees

-Campbell Mattinson 95 points!“ It’ s not hard to imagine this turning into a classic. The tannin structure is super-fine and super good, the fruit pristine and the profile of it spot-on. Chalky, cherried, tobacco-like, perfumed on the nose and in the...

[SOLD-OUT] Giaconda Pinot Noir 2004

Region: VIC- Alpine Valley

Jeremy Oliver 94 points!"Fine and silky, this elegant and tightly knit wine needs time to evolve into a Volnay-like expression of pinot. Already quite evolved, it reveals rustic, reductive and briary scents of dark plums, red cherries, smoked meats and...

[SOLD-OUT] Noon Winery Reserve Shiraz 2005

Region: SA- Langhorne Creek

Wine Advocate 99 points!"The 2005 Shiraz Reserve was sourced from a 45-year-old vineyard and aged for 18 months in American and French oak of various sizes. A saturated purple color, it presents an array of otherworldly scents including smoke, mineral,...
