Prieure des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2019

Region: France- Rhone Valley Southern

  "While just bottled the week prior to this tasting, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes wasn’t showing any worse for it and offered a beautiful perfume of blackberries, raspberries, ground pepper, and garrigue. The purity of...

Launay Horiot Pommard Les Perrieres 2021

Region: France- Burgundy CotedeBeaune

  "A highly attractive, fresh and ripe Pommard. Very intense for a village cru, owing to the old vine, quality site from which this is sourced. Medium bodied, it has ample red fruit and plum flavours, with gentle earthiness that emerges on the...

SC Pannell No220 Grenache 2022

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

  "There’s a huge wallop of primary fruit flavours including blood orange, cranberry and dark chocolate but the finish is savoury and coated with myrtle. A luscious fruit driven palate with a tannic frame. Mouth filling but not...

Mount Mary Marli Russell RP2 Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre 2021

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Sustainably-made

  "It’s complex and a wine of many layers. Raspberry and blackberry, plenty of perfume and spice, hazelnut, something in the way of dried herbs and earth. Medium-bodied, no shortage of red and black fruit, rose oil, but also something a...

Irrewarra Chardonnay 2022

Region: VIC- Geelong

  "This is as lovely as they come. It tastes of citrus and pears, grapefruit and custard apples, along with an overlay of nougat/cedarwood oak, and it has drive, it has length, and it has juice. It’s fresh and a little nervy, with a mace-like...

Immel Reserve Chardonnay 2021

Region: Germany

  "Expansive nose of candied citrus, fresh nuts, flint and fresh herbs. The spot-on balance of ripeness, creaminess and chalky minerality, plus underplayed power and concentration make this stand out in the rapidly developing field of German...

Allevare Cabernet Franc 2022

Region: VIC- Nagambie Lakes
Sustainably-made

  "A Novello style red, perfect chilled or at room temperature. Grown in the Shelmerdine Vineyard, red and brown sandy clay loams of south-eastern Australia, plus yellow-brown clay loams and gritty, gravelly quartzose sands laid down by the...

Giant Steps Wombat Creek Pinot Noir 2022

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "This is pretty wild, pretty exotic, flowers and herbs flying. Cranberry, strawberry and red cherry with twig and herb notes. The finish here is so dry, with so much crunch and grip, that I’ve underlined the words ‘crackle and...

Giant Steps Wombat Creek Chardonnay 2022

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "The vineyard was originally planted in 1988 with the intention of producing base wine for sparkling production but over the years has been gradually transitioned to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for table wine. The underlying ferrous (red) based...

Giant Steps Sexton Pinot Noir 2022

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "From the Sexton vineyard in Gruyere. Destemmed with whole berries and matured nine months in French barriques (20% new). A deep ruby crimson. The densest and most brooding of the Giant Steps Yarra Valley single-vineyard pinots from 2022. You'll...

Giant Steps Primavera Pinot Noir 2022

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "This is an absolute bloody cracker. It tastes of cranberry and red cherry with pomegranate and twiggy, peppery spice. It’s lively, perfumed, juicy, complex and complete. There’s crunch here, there’s perfume, there’s...

Giant Steps Fatal Shore Pinot Noir 2022

Region: TAS (Tasmania)
Vegan-friendly

Sons of Eden Remus Shiraz 2020

Region: VIC- Beechworth

  "Great delight here. Medium weight but with darker fruit spectrum scents and flavours, plum, choc-liquorice, cassis and lavender with faint mintiness and dill/fennel notes in the mix. The palate is supple, smooth, rolls beautifully and long...

Little Frances Semillon 2022

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley

  "A much more textural and medium weight experience than most from the Hunter, gently creamy, whipped with cashew nut and lanolin with hallmark lemon zest and limey tang. Fragrant and pretty to sniff on, whiffs of sea spray in there, briny to...

Caledonia Australis Chardonnay 2022

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