The lieu-dit Les Délys is part of the Corcelette climat located downslope from Bellevue and right behind Bouland's residence and winery-it's his back garden if you like. Again, Bouland splits his vines into two cuvées: an old-vine cuvée raised in foudre and this younger-vine version raised in concrete. The vines were planted in 1978 and 1980 in the deep granitic sand typical of Les Délys, which brings roundness and Burgundy-like texture to the wines. It's the most detailed and refined … more

As local as one could ask, with the distillery a mere 2km away from us in the old Royal Hotel in Clifton Hill... how could we say no!
Layers of bright citrus from fragrant orange, mandarin and native myrtle melt into the warmth of Tasmanian pepperberry and the heady spice of coriander and lemongrass. Earthy undertones of fresh picked rosemary and green tea are rounded by lashings of local rooftop honey and freshly churned butter.

AOC Bas Armagnac (Grand Bas Armagnac). Age: 40 years Minimum
At 40 years, the Armagnac's style is definitely apparent. The quality of the oak used is very important, as the right use of a quality barrel will bring complexity and finesse to the Armagnac; elements that can be judged and appreciated after 40 years in contact with the wood.

"Vibrant and seductive with layers of flavour, a medley of candied citrus fruit, honey drenched apricots with nougat nutty vanillin oak lusciously textured yet with enough acidity to balance the sweetness." - Producer's note

Producers Notes - "Our 2023 Chardonnay has a minerally structure with a real fruit purity. We wanted to explore what the site had to offer in a lovely cool year, so we kept the winemaking very simple.
The fruit was hand-picked, sorted and whole bunch pressed straight into a selection of large format seasoned French oak barrels for wild fermentation. Half the barrels went through a spontaneous malolactic fermentation. The result is a citrus, elegant wine with a lovely underlying … more

"This wine I feel is a perfect example of Deep Woods Reserve Cabernet and one that is very close to my heart. Great drinkability but amazing detail and tannin structure , wines like these I feel are Australia's greatest vinous gems." - Julian Langworthy
"A high-class cabernet that comes from the old vines of Deep Woods Estate and Abbey Vale. Delightful florals on the nose merge with dark blackcurrant and lifted bay leaf and subtle olive tapenade nuances. The palate … more

"Let's cut to the chase. The finest Deep Woods chardonnay yet. It has it all. Great fruit has been harnessed with whole bunch pressing and fermentation in new and seasoned French oak. Further lees stirring has built in texture, contributing to a thoroughly beautiful, refined mouth feel. Opens with a stone fruit and savoury light lemon curd aromas. Peels off into a palate that reveals more of a struck match and cracked seashell minerality complementing the outstanding fruit concentration. Super … more

If you're a fan with their premium range of wines, then I guarantee you'll be a fan of the estate Chardonnay from Deepwoods. Quintessential Margaret River, pithy grapefruit acid, tart apricot and a touch of honeyed sweetness from just the right amount of time ageing in oak.

60% Syrah, 40% Grenache.
Unusually for Cotes du Rhone this is majority Shiraz, rather than Grenache. As a result the Saint-Esprit's deep color has a dark, plum-like hue. The nose is classical Syrah, with berry fruit, violet and licorice. It has a full, rounded palate with delicate tannins. Excellent value.

"The 2016 Hermitage Les Bessards offers more violets and floral notions with hints of blue fruits (cassis blueberries) full-bodied richness and building sweet polished tannin. It's another ripe opulent 2016 that's going to drink nicely in its youth yet age gracefully given its purity and balance. While a step back from the otherworldly 2015 this brilliant wine is one of the gems in the vintage.94-97 points" - Jeb Dunnuck

Winery Notes - "This comes from the solera of manzanilla Zuleta. This wine begins as Manzanilla and therefore has a biological aging in a first phase, but after losing the characteristic layer of flor yeast it undergoes an oxidative stage. 100% Palomino variety, with about 8 or 9 years of aging in American oak casks, using the traditional Criaderas & Solera system.
It is clean and bright with an intense golden color. With very intense nose and nuances of biological … more

Bottled, April 2024. Fantastic value Manzanilla, and a great introduction to the dry end of Spanish Sherry. Light, flinty, salty, a little herbal (chamomile) with the tang of sea air that defines the manzanilla style. Bottled in screwcap & with the bottling date in English on the back. Delicious & progressive.
"We bottle and ship fresh every two months, to ensure this definitively crisp, refreshing young white wine is always in spanky form. Camomile and oyster-shell aromatics, Chablis-like mid-palate fruit, … more
