Importers Tasting Notes - "More time in wood equals more complex wood-and-balsam volatile secondary beauty. The fruit characters are raisined, dried, preserved and citric all at once, wandering through a sky-wide nose of fine aromatic timber, grilled bread and nuts. Dry Sercial's vegetality is largely subsumed by fine old wood perfume. It's complex as all get-out, but with great harmony and composure. Dry and saline in the mouth, it's almost austere but with a nice textural generosity through the palate, … more

Importers Tasting Notes - "Wizened lantana thread through cracked old clay pipes; arcane preserved green herbs conjure ancient apothecarial times. There's a wrench of medicinal bitter and the smoked steel of an old billy. Under all, crepuscular vegetal tendrils arc a justmoonlit succulence. A shimmering, vertical ovoid mouthfeel has focus and frame shift and blur between acid and tannin. It's heavily spiced at the mouth's lower rim, through which a salted leather, sweetly dark, treacled-tea flavour-feel persists. Oh my tangy, … more

A classic example of Eden Valley Riesling from a benchmark producer. Showing consistently delicious wines, the nose on this wine sings sweetly of lime blossom and citrus pith, while the palate gives us more sumptuous notes of pineapple skin and dried rosemary, finishing with a talc-like minerality.

95/100 Halliday Wine Companion 2024
Average Age 10 years old. 17.5% Alc/Vol.

These parcels of varying ages are then blended together prior to bottling to create the perfect balanced wine, for drinking now. Our Classic Rutherglen Topaque contains classic aromas of honey and malt. … more

TROPHY - Best Apera - Rutherglen Wine Show 2023
Producer Notes - "An apera can be enjoyed as the sun goes down and it is the ideal way to 'open up' the appetite in preparation for a meal. It is the perfect pre-dinner drink to share over a light bite, in the company of friends and sometimes can last longer than dinner itself! An apera can be elegant and dry or fruity and fragrant. An apera can even be muddled … more

The Pico Maccario winery dominates the largest single-block vineyard in Piedmont. Seventy hectares (175 acres) in one single piece makes the estate a true rarity.

Soave, in Italian, means gentle, soft, suave - an appropriate name for this small town east of
Verona, encircled by the original enclosures of the town and dominated by a 13th century fortress.
At the heart of the Classico zone is the Pieropan property, which dates back to 1890. Their Classico is mostly Garganega with about 10-15% Trebbiano di Soave, this is wonderfully aromatic - not a
common feature of Soave - with floral notes (cherry blossom), citrus, stone fruit … more

Gaillard has captured that perfect balance of hedonistic opulence and mineral refreshment in a way that only Condrieu can produce. His pared back winemaking style provides the perfect canvas for the wine to paint its own picture on, one of ripe yellow peaches, summer honeysuckle blossoms and fragrant spice.

"Dark red robe. The bouquet has a comfortable depth, with the promise of opening and variety; there is a mass of black berry fruits for now. The palate has a suave tone, a cosy middle, carries gourmand appeal, the fruit on mixed red and black berries, a spur of freshness in the ferrous tannins. It's wild in a good way on the second half, has character, the length nicely sustained. From late-2024." John Livingstone-Learmonth, Drink Rhône

The Clos de Cuminaille is one of the most privileged sites of Saint-Joseph. It's an east-facing, walled vineyard on Chavanay's pure granite soils and produces one of the most distinctive wines of the appellation each year. When Gaillard bought this three-hectare site, he passed on the chance to buy a slice of the now-renowned La Turque vineyard in Côte-Rôtie, a site he helped plant. He simply felt that Clos de Cuminaille was the better site. The vines here are now … more

A small family run domaine that is nestled away in Bue, one of the most highly regarded parcels in Sancerre. The wine itself is textbook Sancerre - lean and crisp, with refreshingly mineral elements to the palate, and restrained but undeniably varietal notes of fresh cut herbs and tar, underripe passionfruit.
