Champagne Laherte Freres Les Grandes Crayeres 2018  (Disg. Dec 2021)

After the Brut Nature, this stunning Champagne is Aurélien Laherte’s second Blanc de Blancs bottling. Les Grandes Crayères showcases Laherte’s two most chalky, mineral soils in Côteaux Sud d’Épernay (crayères means ‘chalk’). These parcels of 40-plus-year-old massale selection vines are situated on a west-facing hillside composed of Campanian chalk under 20cm of topsoil.     The base wine was fermented wild in old barrels (aged three to 10 years) and didn’t go through malo, emphasising the wine’s chiselled qualities. It then spent 30 months on lees in bottle, and a further nine months resting after disgorgement before commercial release. The dosage was less than four grams per litre and the bottling was hand-disgorged.

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Mourvedre 2021

A vibrant, translucent ruby colour. The nose has notes of rose petals, musk and lavender with cranberry, redcurrant, morello cherry, pastrami, sweet spices and terracotta. Though complex, the nose presents as pretty and compact with underlying stoniness, which precisely mimics the first impression in the mouth. There’s small red-berry brightness to the medium-bodied palate, and gradually those charcuterie and dry-earth notes emerge with iodine and graphite. Musky, petally perfumes waft over terracotta on a pin-point finish with powdery tannins. An understated wine with real intrigue. 

Blind Tiger Organic London Dry Gin 700ml

A combination of organic botanicals creates a London Dry Gin that is a perfect mixer with tonic or soda and a great base for one of the hugely popular gin based cocktails.

In the 1920s, the era of prohibition, a Blind Tiger was an establishment known to illegally sell alcohol, with a focus on celebrating the exciting flavour and taste of liquor cocktails, many of which were gin based.

Alkina Polygon #1 Shiraz 2022

There are three polygons that have, since the very early days, looked like they could stand apart as Single Polygon wines. Polygon 3 is 0.274 hectares (ha) and approximately 200 vines. Its soil profile is shallow red brown earth over deep chalky, sedimentary limestone which contains fractured schist and limited iron. Polygon 5 comprises two similar parcels of 0.12ha and 0.25ha, a total of 0.37ha. These Polygon 5 sections have deeper soils and well fractured schist with ferric clay (within the fractures).  Polygon 1 was defined in Pedro’s second visit in 2018. The block is 0.4ha which Pedro divided into separate areas and recommended that we exclude one section of 0.097ha which lacks the fractured schist of the other sections.

Grosset Polish Hill Riesling 2024

A Polish Hill for the ages; a white that will delight while young; and yet age as gracefully as we hope to. At its core, it is intense, powerful and fine, pure lime juice that tingles on the mid-palate and shows impressive length even now. One of the finest wines to come from the Grosset Polish Hill Vineyard.  First review – ‘…desperately gorgeous…one of the greatest…’ Tyson Stelzer  Cellar? ‘As long as you like’ says Jeff – up to 25 years, or drink now. Tyson Stelzer says 2024-2064 (40 Years)  Produced from riesling grown biodynamically at the Grosset Polish Hill Vineyard  Unfined – vegan and vegetarian friendly.

Metala White Label Shiraz Cabernet 2022

Each year the blend of shiraz and cabernet sauvignon is assessed based on the fruit when it arrives in the winery. The 2021 vintage is a blend of 80% Shiraz and 20% cabernet sauvignon. The fruit was harvested in the cool of the early morning to retain all the natural acidity. A portion of the cabernet sauvignon was aged in seasoned French oak barriques while a portion of the shiraz was seasoned in French and American hogsheads and barriques each for around 12-13 months. Minimal winemaking intervention with the use of a uniquely designed gravity 'lift' tank.

Yangarra Estate Ironheart Shiraz 2020

Ironheart is the flagship Shiraz from our single vineyard estate in Blewitt Springs at the northern edge of McLaren Vale. The vineyard’s northern aspect, higher elevation and sandy ironstone soils produce Shiraz with immense concentration and finesse.

Alkina Old Quarter GSM 2022

This blend of Grenache Shiraz Mataro allows us the opportunity to create great wines through combining different Polygons. The characteristics of the Old Quarter are underpinned by the Grenache from Polygon 4 which consists of schist and clay which is complemented with the lighter Grenache from Polygon 2 which contains hard schist and wind blown limestone. These components were blended with the Mataro from P6 and the Shiraz from P8 & P7.

Alkina Polygon #5 Grenache 2022

Alkina Polygon #3 Grenache 2022

Alkina Striato Shiraz 2022

Striato (formerly known as ‘Spice Garden’) refers to striations, or long narrow abrasions on rock, created by the movement of a glacier. It reminds us of the 600+ million year old geological history of this land. A savoury, medium weight Shiraz with layers of flavour and amazing depth. Soaring aromas of red and blue fruit overlaid with Asian spice and graphite. The palate is impressively balanced between elegant fruit texture and the cool tannin of Shiraz grown on limestone.

Domaine des Lises Crozes-Hermitage Rouge 2020

As always, Maxime’s estate Crozes comes from a grouping of vineyards near the village of Beaumont-Monteux, only a couple of kilometres from his father’s vines. The lieu-dits are called Les Bosquets and Les Pichères. Here, in the most south-easterly part of the appellation, the soils are full of gravel and alluvial stones, low in clay and fast-draining—very similar to the Domaine Alain Graillot soils in Les Chênes Verts, just to the north. This soil type lends itself to a refined, aromatic Syrah with a pronounced savoury profile. Planted throughout the 1980s, the vines are now managed organically (certification is due soon).   The fermentations are entirely natural, and Graillot Jr. uses only a small whole-bunch component, usually in the realm of 20-30%. It is, therefore, a wine that tends to ‘come around’ earlier than the 100% whole-bunch wines that carry the Alain Graillot name. The 2020 was fermented in concrete vats and then racked into one, two and three-year-old Burgundy barrels—purchased from some of the top estates—and 12-hectolitre Stockinger cask. There is also a tiny component (less than 10%) of new barrels purchased from the Atelier Centre France, whose bespoke steam-bent barrels are now used at Guiberteau, Didier Dagueneau and François Chidaine. The wine spent 11 months in barrel and was brought together for three months in large fût tronconique. It is bottled unfiltered.

Alkina Kin Shiraz Mataro 2024

A delightful Barossa blend that harnesses the full flavour and generosity of Shiraz with the highlights of spice, tannin and savoury characters provided by a dash of Mataro. All hand picked fruit is estate grown in Greenock and certified organic and biodynamic.

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Riesling 2023

Certifed organic, single vineyard wine from one of the best Riesling producers in Australia. A complex and refreshing Riesling that has excellent fruit characters and natural acidity.

Grosset Apiana Fiano 2024

Specific clones of this indigenous grape from Campania, grown on poor soil at the Grosset Rockwood Vineyard, on a cool-site in the Clare Valley, have resulted in an extraordinarily powerful and aromatic expression of the variety. This year, there is a greater intensity of flavour which flows through the wine and lingers on the dry finish: bees-wax, candied honey, bliss.  Ageing Potential: Drink now – 20 years  Produced from fiano grown biodynamically at the Grosset Rockwood Vineyard  Unfined- vegan and vegetarian friendly.

Grosset Gaia Cabernets 2022

Grosset Gaia from the cooler 2022 vintage shows impressive generosity and balance – the hallmarks of this wine for more than three decades. It has positive aromatics, gentle at first, then assertive; there are all the vibrant briary, brambly notes that you would expect. There’s a brooding quality about the wine that demands close inspection. It is satiny smooth, tight and fine.

Grosset Alea Riesling 2024

This is the fifteenth vintage of the ‘European’ style from the Grosset Rockwood Vineyard with its hard red rock and poor orange/red loam soil. This delivers impressive depth of flavour in the mid-palate, pronounced lime and lemony flavours that are intense and deep, finishing almost bone-dry with purity and finesse; same variety, yet a quite different and fascinating alternative to Grosset Polish Hill.  Ageing Potential: Drink now – 20 years  Produced from riesling grown biodynamically at the Grosset Rockwood Vineyard  Unfined- vegan and vegetarian friendly

Yalumba GEN Organic Shiraz 2021

The grapes for this wine are sourced from six family  owned, certified organic vineyards. The Barich family  on the Murray River at Loxton, the Strachan family in  McLaren Vale, the Palena family in the Riverland and  the Carypidis family in Virginia have been the long  term growers and the backbone of this wine. Since  2018, we have also sourced grapes from the Strachan  family at Renmark and our own vineyard at Waikerie.

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2024

The aromatics are quintessential Clare riesling – intense and pure lemon lime, with depth on the mid-palate: mouth-puckering, fine, and lingering on a long, sumptuous finish. Thanks to a cool season, biodynamic farming and the unique site of red loam-over-limestone (and slate), the typical generosity expressed by this wine is enhanced by fresh, powerful varietal characteristics.  Produced from riesling grown biodynamically at the Grosset Springvale Vineyard  Unfined – vegan and vegetarian friendly

Wolf Blass Yellow Label Pinot Noir 2023

Yellow Label Pinot Noir draws fruit from cool climate wine regions to create a vibrant wine with black cherry and strawberry fruit complexed with savoury varietal characters and underlined by a subtle touch of French oak.

Champagne Laherte Freres Les Longues Voyes Blanc de Noirs 2018 (Disg. Dec 2021)

Les Longues Voyes translates as ‘the long way’, referring not only to the 25 km that you need to travel from the Laherte estate to arrive at the vineyard, but also to the wine’s extended aging: 18 months in barrel and a further 18-20 months in bottle. The fruit is sourced from a single hectare of biodynamic vines in Chamery, Montagne de Reims, owned by a good friend of Aurélien Laherte’s. The 35-year-old vines are rooted in clay and silts over a limestone base. The wine was made from a single four-tonne press of grapes, which was naturally fermented and matured in old Clos des Epeneaux and Leroux barrels. There was no malo and the dosage was four grams per litre.

Domaine Des Feraud Provence Rose 2023

Our Cuvée Prestige is our most important wine. By "assembling" the best of our Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Rolle grapes our Cuvée Prestige shall be the most faithful expression of our territory. A fine and well balanced Rosé Côtes de Provence. Elegant, expressive, delicate and of course organic.
