Bubbles

$55.00

When lush Pinot Gris meets Pet Natty vibes. Sweet and savoury, fizzy with pear and Aperoly-y citrus.

Bubbles

$55.00

Made from 100% Moscato from a single vineyard on the Mornington Peninsula. Delightful nose of musk sticks, lychees and apricot nectar. Dry finish.

Bubbles

$55.00

A marriage of the Italian varietals, Fiano and Vermentino, to make a fun and delicious Pet-Nat. Lemony and white peaches on the palate. Perfect poolside sip.

Bubbles

$75.00

Light, fresh & dry. Apple, lemon zest, papaya & toast on the nose. Good effervescence, with a well-balanced & clean finish. Lots of complexity beyond just "an ordinary sparkling wine".

Bubbles

$79.00

Now we're talking! A solid new edition to our pet nat family. Light foam and a significantly light aroma profile. The notes that really come out are red berry fruit and pomegranate. Body is light with a string of pleasant, but not zippy acid. All Sauvignon Blanc with 0.1% of a mystery red grape to give it this funky color. Very nice to smash on a hot summer's day.

Bubbles

$65.00

A sparkling wine from New England made using traditional method (Pinot Noir + Chardonnay with secondary fermentation occurring in bottle). Marked with a beautifully rounded structure, elegant bubbles and a fresh breath of acidity. With the richness that it offers, it definitely needs to be paired with some lighter tapas or seafood.

So Fresh, So Clean

$60.00

Certified Organic Riesling from the Landsborough Vineyard in Pyrenees, Vic, this plot is known for its minerality. A standout white wine with citrus zest and lime aromas, very firm and persistent.

So Fresh, So Clean

$55.00

A wine made from three varieties of Sauvignon Blanc, Moscato and Pinot Gris each offer something individual and enticing to the wine. Passionfruit, guava, pineapple, lychee and lime will accompany you along this delightful path, and you'll want to drink this until the sunrise.

So Fresh, So Clean

$58.00

Pale lemon green in the glass. Aromatic, very similar to Sauvignnon Blanc with touches of Chenin - nectarine, white meadow flowers, green apple, a hint of lees contact. Quite straightforward, but extremely well-done. Balanced, juicy, long. Bang on value.

So Fresh, So Clean

$60.00

The Riesling grapes for this cuvée comes from Mount Alexander in Harcourt Central Victoria - two vineyards one north side and one south side both grown on decomposing granite soils. Schisty, sharp but delicate. Fine and effortlessly refreshing with mineral notes.

So Fresh, So Clean

$75.00

Our 2022 single vineyard Pinot Grigio was co-harvested and fermented with a small portion of Pinot Bianco. The dominace of Pinot Grigio highlights the liveliness of the fruit, whilst the Pinot Bianco brings finesse and roundness to wine. From grape to glass our craft is providing wine enjoyment and every bottle celebrates a little of what we love about the south west. Fruity. Vibrant. Crisp.

So Fresh, So Clean

$159.00

Light golden in the glass. Ripe, almost sweet aromatics of peach, nectarine, ripe pear and honey. The acidity here is through the roof, making your jaw clench with every sip. Layers of fruit, minerality and salinity. Something that really stands out in the selection for this year. Easily approachable now, but has great potential ahead as well. Kudos!

So Fresh, So Clean

$68.00

Pale gold in colour with a lovely fragrant nose of yellow pear, chamomile, elderflower, blossom and a touch of honey. Rich pear and quince fruit characters, mouth filling texture, long and full flavoured on the palate. A remarkable tangy seaspray saltiness on the finish.

So Fresh, So Clean

$65.00

Punchy, tropical notes of passionfruit and an array of spice on the nose. Full and yet dry, texture from the lees contact and refreshing citrus acid on the palate.

So Fresh, So Clean

$79.00

Medium lemon green in the glass, just like classic Pinot Gris should look like. Superb aromatics that launch you right into Alsace - green apple, pear drop, loads of stone fruit and some almondy background. Beautiful texture, just so silky smooth. Balanced between the bright acid (which is not high, but very much present) and the medium levels of alcohol. Slightly bitter finish. Gorgeous representation of the grape variety in the totally opposite side of the world. Well done Mr. Arvidson.

So Fresh, So Clean

$58.00

A lovely blend of Chenin Blanc and Verdelho. Aromatic, crunchy, super refreshing. A wine to drink straight from the bottle on the beach, no glasses needed.

So Fresh, So Clean

$80.00

So Fresh, So Clean

$105.00

This Riesling is ripe and fresh with a fleshy body and bright flavors of freshly picked red apples, some cantaloupe, a little bit of tart lemony citrus fruits, light sweeter notes of ripe citrus fruits and a hint of honeyed sweetness. Quite high acidity that lends nice sense of balance and poise to the wine. Mouth-watering finish. Definitely one for the books.

So Fresh, So Clean

$65.00

A most proper varietal expression on this Riesling. Aromas of petrol, peach, apricot, lemonade and meadow flowers. Clean, crisp and refreshing on entry. Finishes off with a long, tangerine finish. The alcohol and acidity levels are medium, which is not the best contribution for long-term cellaring, but nevertheless, this is still a ridiculously quaffable wine we'd like to bathe in. Straight fire from Clare Valley.

So Fresh, So Clean

$62.00

Pale lemon-green in the glass. Vibrant and fun on the palate, offering great acidity and 4-5 g/L of residual sugar, just right. Citrus domination with a bit of green apple and melon. Bit of petrol due to bottle aging. Medium finish. An everyday Riesling with a very clean fruit character and good balance. Great for drinking with fish or light cheeses.

So Fresh, So Clean

$48.00

Orange, limes, lemons providing a citrus line in the glass, with green apple and pear also dominating. The intensity of a fresh fruit salad. Generous and refreshing fruit driven style with a soft, velvety palate of exceptional length. It has classic flavors of ripe lemon and lime and some tropical fruit notes. It drinks well young, but will also reward with cellaring. A wine to enjoy with or without food.

So Fresh, So Clean

$48.00

Stunning nose of green apple, passionfruit and ripe lemon. High, razor-sharp acid highlights the fruit gorgeously and is backed up by just the right amount of residual sugar. Mind you, the sweetness is not here to overwork the wine. Its role is just to make it juicier and more concentrated. Even though it's highly approachable now, this will just keep on giving and developing. Great job by John Hughes, putting a seal on our favourite Riesling outside of Europe.

Queen Chardonnay

$72.00

Fresh with a light touch of savouriness and salty acidity and little oxidation. Jura-inspired, fine and long on the palate.

Queen Chardonnay

$58.00

The chardonnay which your oaked and unoaked friends will be happy with. Ben Yugen calls this the 'unbaked' version, the texture of this wine is cheeky with extra richness complimented with some youthful acidity and stone fruit goodness.

Queen Chardonnay

$62.00

Fleshy textured, soft and supple, juiciness is en pointe. Lighter, refreshing style albeit with some extra width and an almost diffuse softness. Great for tapas and lighter seafood.

Queen Chardonnay

$105.00

The McIntyre Chardonnay is more savoury and restrained on opening, with cheese, cashew nuts, sandalwood and citrus rind aromatics opening slowly.  On the palate, the wine has similar savoury notes, with very tightly wound power and intensity.  This wine combines elegance and power, restraint and complexity – it is an intriguing wine that needs time, and food more than the Robinson and will very much reward patience – in the cellar or in the glass.

Queen Chardonnay

$88.00

Vibrant and forward, with bright lemon fruit, blossom and a touch of grapefruit on the nose. Lively, fresh and bright, with loads of flavour yet elegant and with great lengths from the Robinson Chardonnay.

Queen Chardonnay

$109.00

Planted on dramatic slopes at high elevation in the Upper Yarra Valley, Wombat Creek Vineyard has cool, extended seasons that are ideally suited to Chardonnay and produce wines of great elegance, clarity and length. This is the kind of Yarra Chardonnay that makes friends with those seeking a fuller, more weighty expression. Peach, almost to pineapple, a little struck match, and nougat oak. It’s fleshy and flavoursome, with a glossy texture.

Queen Chardonnay

$85.00

Really good Chardonnay, even when drunk slightly warm (happens sometimes, we have to admit it). Some solid complexity coming through with ripe tropical & stone fruit followed by barrel fermented tones of brioche, vanilla and butter. Zippy acidity highlighting the fruit, preventing it from being overripe & heavy. Big alcohol as well, but balanced. Long finish.

Queen Chardonnay

$129.00

Pours lemon yellow in the glass. Quite subtle on the nose, but shows some layers to it - lemon, lime, green apple, lemongrass and brioche. The palate is balanced, with medium depth. A nice, refreshing Chardonnay that is judiciously dosed with oak.

Queen Chardonnay

$102.00

Incredible zippy acidity with a bouquet of lemon curd, grapefruit combined with a hint of ripe pineapple, with a stony minerality and some attractive reductive aroma’s that is so typical for the region. Smooth and buttery on the mouthfeel like freshly baked bread. Remarkable freshness - and flavour. Complex flavours and touch of gun flint, grapefruit and succulent acid.

Queen Chardonnay

$69.00

Slightly hazy, golden in the glass. Nose is marked by good, solid complexity in the form of heady florals, melon, pineapple, peach, guava, green apple, vanilla and a hint of minerality. Superb balance on the palate with a bracing acidity and medium alcohol. Long, mineral finish. Lovely & unique expression of the grape and region.

Queen Chardonnay

$79.00

In terrific shape right now, even though young. Vibrant, youthful fruit dominates the nose - green apple, bursts of citrus, some nuttiness as well. A Chardonnay that's clean and very enjoyable for the style and grape variety. An impressive effort that is drinking wonderfully right now and will probably continue to develop for a handful of years more.

Queen Chardonnay

$139.00

Hand-picked Chardonnay fruit from 40-year-old vines, whole bunch pressing, 12 months on lees. Complex character just breaking the ice. Lean, detailed and thought-provoking. Tons of flair. There’s a lot to like here. Matchsticks, yellow apple, peach, ginger, toast and assorted spices. Chardonnay to the nines. Excellent.

Queen Chardonnay

$82.00

You want to introduce natural wine to your friends and get their eternal affection afterwards? This is your animal. A blend that changes each year, depending on what the vineyard provides. For this vintage, Nav has mixed Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. It's all about texture here, bumped up by stunning minerality. The acidity has you in tears with every sip but is perfectly integrated with the 12% abv and juicy fruit concentration. Buy it, drink it, cellar it - everything goes.

Queen Chardonnay

$72.00

Hand-picked fruit barrel fermented. This wine has an intriguing nose with restrained complexity that will develop beautifully in time. A gun flint, stone fruit and popcorn aroma. A wine that shows fresh acidity with a well weighted palate exhibiting extraordinary texture and poise. Stone fruit, grapefruit and lemon fruit flavour with a pithy finish that lingers on the finish. Terrific wine that will age for 3-5 years.

Rosé Wines

$68.00

Rosés are usually not as exhilarating as whites and reds, but there is something in this one that just makes you smile. It smells like a Syrah-based Rhone rose with notes of blueberry, raspberry and Mediterranean spice. Light, fresh and mineral on the palate. Refreshing crispiness. Medium aftertaste.

Rosé Wines

$52.00

Light salmon pink in the glass. Pleasant, sort of sweet aromatics - cranberry, candied cherry, raspberry. Very fruit-driven on the palate as well. Simple, refreshing, light. Alcohol is much lighter compared to the 2019 vintage, giving way to a lot more acidity. Great wine, works well at the price.

Rosé Wines

$75.00

Grenache & Sangiovese contribute here equally in a lovely manner. Strawberry with some floral notes. Juicy almost strawberry compote flavour, subtle powdery texture, balanced acidity, good finish. Nice drink. Works best with a firm chill, but goes all right a little warmer too.

Rosé Wines

$69.00

Translucent cherry color. Fragrant and very expressive nose with aromas of sweet red cherries, sour cranberries, burnt herbs, ripe blackcurrant and a lift of VA that won't bother anybody. Sleek, medium body with a brush of tannins and crisp acid. Strong savoury core.

Rosé Wines

$62.00

Fruits and florals play around on the nose, very aromatic and enjoyable stuff. Dry with a beautifully integrated acidity, just enough to highlight the bright fruit. Long finish. A great rosé that has definitely shot up into our top 3. Don't expect humongous complexity, but expect that you could smash two bottles of this easily on a Sunday morning.

Orange Wines

$139.00

Hazy orange in the glass. Bright aromas of green apple, lime, lemon zest, tangerine and some white flowers. Lightning strikes on the palate with an acid we can’t remember tasting so high in an Australian wine. But no fear - this zippiness is balanced out perfectly with the fruit and low alcohol, it just needs a lot of time to integrate and become fully enjoyable. Drink starting 2023 and for the next 20 years easily.

Orange Wines

$85.00

Aromas of Chenin dominate here - ripe peach, honey, yellow apple. Hints of sea salt and roasted nuts. Well-knit on the palate, concentrated, but juicy at the same time.. Long finish. We see this going with nothing else but an anchovy pizza and rainy days of Netflix & chill. You just have to find somebody that likes anchovies.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$62.00

Generous perfumed nose, with wild strawberries and redcurrants with hints of violet and wild fennel. Medium-bodied and a savoury palate and juicy red fruits and fine tannins. Great length and good persistence with a wonderful fine spice.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$65.00

Fine, light and vibrant with plenty of flavour, with notes of maro spice, orange peel, wormwood, white pepper, with flashes of redcurrants, sour cherry juice and pomegranate. 20-30% whole bunch and "pressed off after a week or so" with no added sulphur dioxide. Good tannin structure with a light acidity and a touch of rosewater finish, Made for fun and immediate drinking.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$55.00

A Syrah made from a singe vineyard in Mornington Peninsula.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$55.00

The black-skinned Dolcetto is executed with a surprising red fruity twist. Party wine at it’s best, hazy goodness champions playful flavours of raspberries, strawberries, spice and cream with a herby kick to finish.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$55.00

Yugen’s first vintage was in 2018 founded by Tim Scanlon and Brodie Comer. With its fruit sustainably sourced from Galli Estate (Sunbury) and Bittern Estate (Mornington Peninsula), and working on continuing to build longstanding and mutually beneficial relationships with growers. And in 2019, Ben Buckingham and Rosemary Buckingham joined Yugen and the wines and business are run between the four partners.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$55.00

With a good whack of Merlot, this wine pours a deep crimson red with expressive notes of raspberries, plums and a touch of mint. The palate is generous, bright and bombastic. The perfect fun red wine for any occasion.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$72.00

Light ruby in the glass. Some herbaceousness hits at first, but more cherry, raspberry and plum swim to the surface. Tightly-knit on the palate with pronounced dark berry flavours, a lot of spicy bitterness, a little leather and the slightest hint of savoury old oak flavours. An explosion of acidity and just a brush of tannins. Definitely a no-nonsense Sangiovese, in dire need of hearty food.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$159.00

Light ruby in the glass. Somewhat closed on the nose so give it a go in the decanter for about an hour. Open for business even in its youth - notes of raspberry, sour cherry, garam masala, leather and some dried herbs. Tannins are light, acidity is giving the fruit all the spotlight, while the high alcohol gives this its much needed weight without being too heavy. An elegant style of Pinot Noir, just how it’s supposed to be.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$280.00

Fragrant perfume of dried flowers, sour cherry, white pepper, game meat, sweaty herbs. Palate is edgy, all cranberry tang, chalky tannins, glass shard acidity, dried herbs and more of the game meat accompanied by some hazelnut savouriness. Mouth-watering fresh. Zesty. It’s energetic and zippy, great to find this refreshment here. Give it time.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$79.00

Such good quality fruit is used for this blend. The aromatics of Grenache really come out on the first whiff, while the Shiraz plays a dominant role on the palate. Juicy, ripe fruit, without being over the top. Just a lick of tannins and earthiness on the finish. Delizioso!

Pinot(esque) Noir

$80.00

Sangio scents of red berries, cherry, bloody game meat, white pepper, dried, mixed Italian herbs. Juicy on the palate, riper red berry fruit characters but again the herbs, spice, gamey-savouriness, and amongst all that a weave of graphite-tinged, lacy tannin. Finishes dry, spicy, savoury, after that pleasurable juicy start. Yum!

Pinot(esque) Noir

$75.00

How is this so good? Tastes like homemade raspberry jam you'd eat out of a jar in your grandma's dry storage - no bread, nothing, just a shovel - a bit sweet, but obsessively tart all day. More peach and strawberry pack up the mouthfeel, with good amounts of funk rivaling the fruit. Refreshing, soft & just easy-sailing. Undoubtedly one for the books.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$65.00

Even though Barossa is not famous for producing light and crunchy reds, by now you may have figured out that our main man Freddy is not "in the box". A GSM blend, this wine is what the French call 'vin de soif' - fragrant, light, juicy and ridiculously smashable. The whole-bunch fermentation gives it a grippy edge and a bit more character than your everyday house pour.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$75.00

Meaty, spicy with red capsicum and pepper, blue and purple fruit, and a fair amount of dried herb and flower perfume. It’s medium-bodied, crisp and kind of slatey in feel, juicy dark small berries, fine silty tannin, freshness with distinctly meaty peppery flavour, and a crisp dry and savoury finish of excellent length. Really good Syrah. So much vigour and umami character.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$105.00

Abundant, enticing aromas in pristine red fruits, maritime herbs and beets. Fresh and vibrant on the palate with a touch of oak.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$102.00

This single vineyard Shiraz carries ripe fruit aromas of cherries and fruit compote. Complex and expressive on the nose, spices, nutty and a little truffle-infused, integrated with oak on the palate. Fruity and generous with under lying notes of savoury, herby and a touch of woodsmoke.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$150.00

Solita is a joint venture with Journalist Nick Stock with Nebbiolo sourced from the Longview vineyard, near Macclesfield, in the Adelaide Hills. Established by Duncan MacGillivray in the early 90’s, Longview is owned by the Saturno family.

Chris Ringland, the man behind such famous names as Three Rivers Shiraz, creates a wine that is made from mature Northern Barossa vines and shows dark mass of concentrated black and blue fruits on the palate, laced with sweet mocha and wrapped in a smooth, velvety texture and a touch of a subtle vanilla.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$98.00

Some compare it to Pinot Noir, others to Nebbiolo, but Sicily’s noble red comfortably stands alone as one of the most unique grapes planted in the country. Brad’s Nero d’Avola is true to its Italian roots. Aromas of spice, florals and candied berry fruit. Light with mouth-watering acidity and a solid savoury core. Don't expect crazy complexity here or something that will alter your life's view. This is just perfect for a warm, sunny afternoon. Period.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$79.00 $70.00

Brooding, dark berried wine, rich flavours, lots of stewed and dried fruits, the finish a bit drying-dried out, but the rest of the wine seems to find some mojo and complexity. Meaty, dried fruit characters, rich panforte notes too. Lots to chew on. Big red wine. Lovers line up, this is done pretty well.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$75.00

Intense aromas of red fruits - cherry and plum. Undertones of new French oak and a suggestion of licorice. A medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir that exhibits a fine tannin structure wonderfully integrated with the new oak. Flavours of plum, cherries and strawberry with a hint of warm spices and vanillin oak. A generous finish and persistence with the ability to age for five to eight years.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$78.00

This is a rare expression of Margaret River Nebbiolo due to the relative scarcity of the variety within the region and our aim was to showcase the high-toned brightness and vibrancy of fruit whilst still integrating complexity and interest through structure and developed tannins to create an earlier, approachable Nebbiolo thoughtfully balanced with sweetness, savouriness and ultimately freshness.

Pinot(esque) Noir

$52.00

Inspired by the new wave 'Vino Joven' wines of the old world, Young Blood Shiraz is released as a cheeky youngster with just a brief barrel maturation to showcase structure and varietal character, while retaining freshness and finesse. The fruit is open fermented utilising native yeasts, with 30% whole bunch in the mix. After 7 days maceration post-ferment, the wine is gently basket pressed and racked to stainless vats (50%) and old French oak hogsheads (50%) for 6 months maturation. Young Blood Shiraz is pure, uncomplicated enjoyment.

Cabernet & Co

$68.00

The La Bratta Rosso displays bright violets, blackcurrant and plum with spicy undertones. A complex, savoury and rich style that is full bodied with a very ripe and fine tannin structure. Flavours of blackcurrant and underlying dark cocoa are pronounced. A long, persistent and intriguing wine that is drinking beautifully now but will reward patience.

Cabernet & Co

$60.00

Medium red colour with great depth. Plum fruits dominate aromas, and are backed by typical Merlot creaminess and subtle French oak characters. Lovely mid weighted palate with great balance of plum fruits and tight structure. Fine tannins, cedary French oak and balanced acidity give the wine length and drive and a long elegant finish.

Cabernet & Co

$75.00

A bright ruby red wine with an aromatic nose of berry compote and baking spices of nutmeg, anise and dried herbs. Soft on the palate with supple red fruits with tighly woven tannins and a light touch of acidity. Made from small whole bunches helps balance the fruit, providing a savoury touch and a good structure for the wine.

From hand-picking to the slow, delicate basket pressing, with a vision of creating a pure, expressive example of one of Australia's most iconic wine styles. Milk Chocolate and Classic very fine grain tannins, drinking well but will age for 20 years or more. Hand pruned and picked, natural yeast fermentation, matured in french oak barriques, about 30% new.This fragrant nose follows to a wine with great density and length. Will age a long time 25-30 years. Yet to be released, be the first to sample this powerful wine.

Cabernet & Co

$88.00

A potpourri of scents greet the nose – perfume, cherry, rose-water, eastern spices, dark choco- late and mocha, toasty blackcurrant – aromas of freshly baked bread, warm cherry pie, spicy plum pudding and a background of forest floor fruits. Seamless oak melds with red/blue fruits – boysenberry, blueberry, satsuma plum. Delicate and soft on the palate with ripe berries, sweet cherry and juicy plum. Gentle acidity to the back palate with just enough crunch and firmness. Elegant tannins.

Cabernet & Co

$88.00

On the nose aromatics of cassis/anise and that core Cabernet-esque blackcurrant. Tobacco leaf and mocha adding to the mix, while Teroldego offers the mountain herb and concentration. Medium bodied yet with some density to go with the finesse. Spicy red/blue fruits, coconut and star anise meld with a touch of mint. A potpourri of exotics, moreish tannin and spice galore.

Cabernet & Co

$80.00

Medium ruby in the glass. Spicy tones at first sniff, but with a bit of air, this opens up beautifully to fruit notes of plum, blackcurrant, blueberry and hints of hibiscus tea. Medium-bodied with high acid and slightly unripe tannins. Juicy fruits. So balanced. Long finish. Everything you want in a Cab Franc, which is often not seen on the Aussie market.

Cabernet & Co

$58.00

Remarkably good, juicy nose of classic SA cherry and vanilla with a little medicinal element too. Some Rioja elements in there as well - bit of dusty leather and baking spices. Fine palate of dark fruit with good balance and a satisfying finish. Excellent value.

Cabernet & Co

$80.00

Deep ruby in the glass. Blasting aromas of oriental spice mixed with red and dark berry fruit. We rarely find an aromatic profile like this, so hats off for the uniqueness. The body is medium, has a good balance of all its elements and is complemented by some really soft tannins. Juicy, ripe dark berries and fruitcake with a tangy acid spike. Finishes long with ethereal varietal flavour.

Heavy Hitters

$72.00

A beautiful blend from Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne. The Viognier gives fruit and perfume while the Marsanne lends it’s waxy texture and the Roussanne gives a hint of savouriness. Bottled un-fined and un-filtered. A unique, delicious, amber wine.

Heavy Hitters

$72.00

Aged in oak for 24 months and then a further 12 months in tank and 6 months in bottle before it hits the shelves. Berries over spice, over earth, this is what the Spanish varietal is all about.

Heavy Hitters

$58.00

Always good, the Primitivo here shining full on. Lots of fruit-forward character accompanied by a bit of spice in the background. The palate is showing high acid with a brush of ripe tannins. Approachable now, but will go strong for 2-3 more years if you decide to lay it down in your cellar. You have to love how Amato makes these young wines drinkable straight off the bat, something that’s hard to find with old school winemakers nowadays.

Heavy Hitters

$65.00

As a whole this is an enjoyable, heavy-set all-rounder with decent balance and supple, straightforward fruit. Concentrated, quite opaque black-red color with a thinner, slightly purple rim. Plummy dark fruit and a surprisingly sophisticated streak game meat. The tannins are quite soft and mellow, giving the wine quite chewy texture and round, easily approachable character. The finish is supple and long with ripe and sweet flavors of cherry, dark fruit and quite pronounced vanilla.

Sweet Spot

$48.00

Rieslingfreak No.55 is an off-dry expression of the finely balanced compatibility between the richness and generosity of the fruit from the family vineyard in White Hutt, and the lean, mineral-driven elegance of the fruit from Polish Hill River. The natural sweetness of this off-dry style adds an unctuous richness to the mid-palate, while the driving natural acidity imparts a crisp, clean finish. The wine shows great fruit, texture and balance. Vibrant and intensely perfumed, with apple blossom, nectarine, freshly-sliced grapefruit, and lemon…

Sweet Spot

$65.00

Tinta Roriz aka Tempranillo originates from Rioja, but it is also widely spread in Portuguese wine regions in Douro River Valley where it makes one of the five main blending components of famous fortified Port wines. Topper's vintage Tinta Roriz is fresh and sweet on the nose with dominating aromas of strawberry jam, blueberries, roasted walnuts, roasted almonds and a hint of coffee. The wine spent 9 years in an old barrel to develop a complex aromatic profile and sensationally silky texture.

Vintage Classics

$465.00

Deep ruby red in the glass with slight garnet hues. Aromatics are so subtle, yet there is so much depth here - primary notes of black cherry, blackcurrant, blackberry followed by secondary tones of cedar, vanilla, tobacco and just a splash of bottle aging in the form of dried herbs. Powerful structure here, but doesn't jump out or try to knock you out. No, this is Godfather elegance all the way. Tannins are ripe, but only just. Acidity is creating a perfect backbone for all the concentration to be carried to the long finish line.

Vintage Classics

$289.00

Very dark purple ruby, with a vivid pink rim. The aromas seem to leap from the glass, offering up a fragrant spray of sweet berry fruit - noticeably grapey in character, but there is also some ripe blueberry, too. Quite elegant and smooth on the palate, and showing no signs of the alcohol level. Fine structure, with very good acidity, and a massive dose of deep berry fruit. No need to decant, just drink it straight from the bottle.

Vintage Classics

$210.00

A simply stunning Chardonnay influenced by white Burgundy. Textbook example of how good Geelong Chardonnay ages. There are no signs of decline whatsoever, but instead the wine has reached its apogee of stunning richness, complexity and opulence. It feels relatively big and quite round, yet it doesn't come across as heavy nor flabby because of its balanced acidity and bright, almost trebly minerality, balancing the weight and richness wonderfully. So very lovely. Tremendous value at this price.

It feels relatively big and quite round, yet it doesn't come across as heavy nor flabby because of its balanced acidity and bright, almost trebly minerality, balancing the weight and richness wonderfully. So very lovely. Tremendous value at this price.
