Copper Rivet Distillery 'Son of a Gun' English Grain Spirit 47.4% 500ml

"You would have to scour the seven seas to find a more versatile drink, so go ahead – ignite the spark for libations.

It is said that as shrapnel tore through the ocean, the guns that fired it induced timely labour. Sailors born this way would forever be known as a ‘SON OF A GUN’. Deep and complex, this spirit is hand crafted in small batch stills at Chatham Dockyard and remains today an irreverent spirit.

Corymbia Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

This wine is the realisation of a dream seeded by Rob’s great Grandfather, Jack Mann; it's a departure from the orthodox, to achieve a unique expression of Margaret River Cabernet. Variety, place and experience are woven together to redefine what’s possible.

It's the first release from our dry-grown, organically-farmed Calgardup vineyard. Located just 2km inland from the famous Redgate Beach in Margaret River, we have revitalised this vineyard with acute attention to detail. The fruit was harvested on two picking … more

Crawford River 'Beta' 2017

Approx 50/50 Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon.

Wine of The Week - Oct 28 2020. The Real Review, Huon Hooke

From a special section within the Crawford River site that contains fossilised sea shells in chalky limestone, below an ironstone rich topsoil.

"An open and expressive fruit profile. Starting fine with citrus notes moving into grapefruit, white stone fruit and green melon. Underlying this fruit is a wave of savoury characters. The hallmark Crawford River chalk is here alongside delicate almond, stone-like … more

Domaine de Bellene Bourgogne Rouge Maison Dieu 'Vieilles Vignes' 2018

Importers Notes - "This is once again a testament to Nico's unwavering belief that his Bourgogne is the most important wine in his stable (not a quip about the fact that part of the cellar is indeed an old stable). Sourced from old vines, the average age is around 70 years now. The wine shows uncommon depth of material for its appellation. Richly textured and supple with plenty of darkly fruited and wonderfully appealing character. It becomes a good degree … more

Domaine Jobard-Morey Meursault Les Narvaux 2017

Les Narvaux is a small, 16 hectare climate situated within the Meursault appellation. It is among the highest in the village (located above Genevrieres 1er Cru) and typically produces a wine which has distinctly Meursault notes of apple, pear and white peach followed by ground hazelnuts and hints of fennel, but retains excellent freshness.

Domaine Thomas Sancerre Grand’Chaille 2015

Domaine Thomas is run by the ninth generation of the family. Jean and his wife Ginette own 13 hectares at Verdigny, mostly planted to Sauvignon blanc. This is Sancerre at its flinty, minerally, racy best. Very clean, fresh and flavoursome wine at a moderate 12.5% alcohol. This is as Sancerre should be - absolutely fresh, unadulterated by oak.

The Grand'Chaile is grown on rocky, flint soils known as Silex (made famous by Didier Dagueneau's "Silex") and is a more intense … more

Enrique Mendoza 'La Tremenda' Monastrell 2017

A single vineyard expression from an organically farmed vineyard sitting at 600m above sea level, the vines are 30 years old and the finished wine is, simply put, bloody good. Concentrated black fruits with notes of rosemary and honey and an earthy rich character we could almost describe as tar, and yet somehow, despite this complexity of flavor the wine is still refined and elegant, soft on the palate with subtle, well integrated tannin.

Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

First Applejack chardonnay that Giant Steps has done. Isolated for its personality. It’s been seen as a single vineyard wine, but normally blended into the ‘Yarra’ wine. Steve Flamsteed et al saw that something special, and they weren’t wrong. How good is intuitive winemaking? Numbers can go hang, here. What a belter. Phwoar. 95+pts Mike Bennie, The Wine Front

Parisian almond, lemon rind, grapefruit juice, faint wet slate notes. Saline tang to acidity, some light creaminess of savoury nuttiness though … more

Giant Steps Tarraford Vineyard Chardonnay 2017

Winery Notes - "Located in a protected valley, Tarraford Vineyard has a discreet microclimate, that is cooler than neighbouring sites. A diversity of aspect and clone provides multifaceted winemaking opportunities. Although located in a warmer part of the valley, the site produces Chardonnay with high natural acids (and low pH) expressing itself through its characteristically long palate, fine tight structure and a zesty lemon/grapefruit finish."
