SC Pannell Smart Grenache 2022

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

  "The Smart vineyard is in a slightly more elevated site in Clarendon, in the Adelaide Hills, that consistently delivers grenache with tightly pulled focus. This is the coiled and wound one, the stand-offish and reserved one. It’s grenache...

SC Pannell Old McDonald Grenache 2022

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

  "This is a chunky, earthy expression of grenache in this exceptional vintage. Notes of pickled ginger, tamarind and dark cherries. Hints of moss and iodine across the forceful, slightly drying finish. This is an immense wine, typical of the style...

SC Pannell Little Branch Grenache 2022

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

  "This is an impactful grenache made by somebody who prizes Italian wines. The tannins are an immense force field, with kirsch, strawberries and dried Mediterranean herbs, and a note of almond husk that gives noble bitterness. The density, poise...

Mulline Sutherlands Creek Chardonnay 2023

Region: VIC- Geelong
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "This is another excellent chardonnay from Mulline. The power, the poise and the persistence are all A-class, the presence the perfect icing. Grapefruit, grilled peach, citrus and smoked cedarwood characters come laced with mineral, struck match...

Mulline Modewarre Fume Blanc 2023

Region: VIC- Geelong
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "There’s steel to this wine, bite, fruit power and noteworthy length. It’s a cutting wine but it’s also a wine that takes command of the glass. It tastes of gravels, stones, woodsmoke, thistles and grasses, its fruit notes in...

Fondo Antico Grillo Parlante Sicilia DOC 2022

Region: Italy - Other

  "Brilliant straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. Its bouquet marries the exuberance of exotic fruit with the delicacy of white flowers and the aromas of the vine. Sensations of fullness in the taste are accompanied by pleasant...

Bel Colle Barolo Simposio 2019

Region: Italy - Barolo

  "Red cherry, almond, mint/liquorice, orange peel. It’s medium to full-bodied, and in classic Bel Colle style, it’s kind of under-stated and fine-boned, a little brick dust grip to tannin and red fruited nutty succulence, and in a way,...

Bel Colle Barbaresco Convivio 2020

Region: Italy - Barbaresco

  "Cherry, mint and fennel, new leather and almond. It’s medium-bodied, somewhat juicy strawberry and red cherry, an autumnal sort of thing, tobacco and leaf litter, tea and fine dusty tannin, with a finish of good length. It feels a little...

Region: VIC- Macedon Ranges

Organic Sustainably-made

Mulline Sutherlands Creek Pinot Noir 2023

Region: VIC- Geelong
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

  "The ropes here are long and firm but they’re wrapped around a mountain of assorted flavours and feels. This pinot noir is quite something. It’s both tight and expressive at once, with undergrowth, loganberry, black cherry and earth...

Two Wolves Cabernet Franc 2019

Region: USA-(Other)
Organic

  "Always a native fermentation under this roof, this wild animal is only slightly tamed by its elegance and restraint. Fresh pine, oregano, cranberry, concentrated raspberries, violets, chamomile, and black peppercorn. The tannins are alive...

Standish The Standish Shiraz 2022

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "The 2022 The Standish Shiraz is again providing me with the opportunity to assess bottles two days apart, and how different they are. The freshly opened bottle, as we would all experience upon our first opening, is tight and fresh, with cracked...

Standish The Relic Shiraz Viognier 2022

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "The 2022 The Relic Shiraz-Viognier contains 2% Viognier skins, and this addition presents in this vintage as a core of raspberry and pomegranate. It is pure fruited and powerfully aromatic, as this cuvee always is. Interestingly, I am tasting...

Standish Schubert Theorum Shiraz 2022

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "I'm excited to taste this, as it was my favorite cuvée last year. It usually changes year to year, given the seasons, and I like that. It's usually the only cuvée to enjoy the benefits of an alternate vessel—a concrete...

Prophet's Rock Cuvee Antipodes Chardonnay 2022

Region: NZ- Central Otago
Sustainably-made

O'Leary Walker Polish Hill Riesling 2013

Blue Gables Pinot Gris 2023

Region: VIC- Gippsland

  "Caramelised pineapple, poached pears and tropical nectar. Lemon verbena, honeysuckle and lime blossom. Dried mango and passionfruit curd. This is edible in its aromas and follows through with that varietal oily palate and gentle swathe of...
