    Cellar: Drink now - 8 Years (2026-2034)
    ABV: 14.5%
    Closure: Stelvin

    Formerly known simply as Mr Riggs Shiraz, beginning with the 2018 vintage this wine was re-branded J.F.R. as a tribute to winemaker Ben Riggs father. Fruit is sourced from three of McLaren Vale’s iconic Shiraz vineyards; Piebald Gully, Gateway and Martins Vineyard. Maturation took place in a mixture of 85% French oak and 15% American oak with 35% being new oak.

    Rich, velvety and seductive, this is a magnificent McLaren Vale Shiraz that delivers a powerhouse of flavour.

    Dense inky black heart with a deep dark red black hue. Potent aromas of blackberry, liquorice, dark plum and dark chocolate waft out of the glass trailed by some vanillin oak, subtle earthy mocha and spice notes. Rich, densely concentrated and velvety, the weighty palate delivers a powerhouse of flavour with plush blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits engulfing the mouth. Vanillin oak, dark chocolate, earthy mocha and spice nuances take a back seat. Beautifully integrated, super polished tannins have an underlying sturdiness. Opulent and deep, it boasts an ultra long finish that’s pure seduction.

    A superb old vine Grenache that delivers a barrage of succulent fruit and pepper with explosive force.

    This wine comes from a single vineyard of Grenache called “Les Fouquesses”, planted in 1924, with blue clay soils at a high altitude. Deep dark red black tinged core with a dark red hue. Pepper infused aromas of dark raspberry, liquorice and dark cherry sail through the nostrils followed by some scorched earth, dried meat and provincial herb notes. Rich succulent dark to black raspberry, liquorice and dark cherry fruits explode across the palate with great power. Infusions of provincial herbs, scorched earth and blackpepper extend further off into the distance. Energetic acidity and ripe chewy tannins lend freshness and a muscular feel to the long, super juicy, pepper infused conclusion.

    Other Reviews…..
    Like the 2021, the 2022 Rasteau Héritage 1924 is all Grenache from the oldest vines on the estate. Aged 9 months in concrete tank, its deeper ruby hue is followed by a rocking perfumed of red and blue fruits, peppery herbs, incense, violets, and subtle spice nuances. With medium-bodied richness, a round, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish, it should shine for a solid 8-10 years if well stored. This beauty will give many a top Châteauneuf du Pape a run for its money.

    An elegant, red fruited Bordeaux style blend.

    A blend of 52% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc. Deep black dark red core with a bright red to dark red hue. Red to black currant and red liquorice aromas stream from the glass trailed by some spicy vanillin cedar, delicate tobacco, mulberry and dried herb notes. The elegant, mid weighted palate is well endowed with rich red currant and mulberry fruits which meld into a dusty vanillin cedar, subtle tobacco and spicy dried herb back drop.

    52% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc. 30% new oak. This is has the highest Merlot component of any Awatea to date (since 2007 at least, and maybe ever, though I don’t have any details prior to that vintage). Now closed with a DIAM cork, though next vintage it will come in a bottle with a longer neck, like Coleraine, so a longer DIAM can be used. Release date is March 2025.
    Plum, raspberry, boysenberry, a slight Cab Franc and/or vintage grassiness, nutty and pencilly, with some floral notes, aniseed and spice. Medium-bodied, bramble fruit (fresh raspberry in particular), some ripe tomato tang, tobacco, a bit of grainy chew to tannin, but the line of acidity is so lovely and crisp – rain-washed and fresh – offering a distinct ‘mineral’ character. Length is excellent. It’s understated, with a classic feel, a sort of bright ‘luncheon claret thing happening, or so I think. It has perfume and presence. So while it’s a somewhat different expression of Awatea, I still like it very much. In summary, it’s a lovely wine to drink. Drink 2026-2035+

    A trophy winning Bordeaux style blend that’s both savoury and elegant, delivering terrific value.

    A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 6% Malbec and 5% Cabernet Franc matured in French oak (20% new) for a period of 12 months. Dense inky black heart with a vibrant purple red hue. Escaping out of the glass are lifted aromatics of blackcurrant and mulberry infused with black olive. Cedary tobacco, dusty earth and bay leaf notes ensue. Rich blackcurrant and mulberry fruits are layered across the mid weighted palate with subtle cigar box, black olive, earth and dried herb characters lying in the background.

    A blend of 60/29/6/5% cabernet sauvignon/merlot/malbec/cabernet franc. Matured in 15% French oak. An excellent edition of this perennially good and well-priced wine. A deep, bright crimson purple. Explodes from the glass with ripe blackcurrant fruit, violets and a hint of cedar. Medium bodied, with excellent verve and silky (for cabernet) long-chained tannins. Great now and over the next four to six years. One of the Yarra's absolutely best buys. Drink by 2032.

    2009 Signatory Vintage Speyside (M) 15 Year Old Small Batch Edition #18 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $139. 99
    Bottle
    $1679.88 Dozen
    ABV: 48.2%

    "...age is evident through the robust sherry wood, and the fruit aromas are present... lovely whisky." - whiskybase.com

    If you missed out on Signatory's previous Macallan 15YO, you'll have to be quick to secure this. We have about half the number on offer. There have been at least three editions of Speyside (M), Andrew Symington's small batch 'Mystery' Macallan at high strength, all exceptional values by any measure. Drawn from first-fill and refill Oloroso sherry butts, this one's reported to be less spicy and more fruity than Edition #19. There are marginal differences of opinion, but all agree regarding the freak value. As an official bottling, something like this would cost more than twice Signatory's asking price. 48.2% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    Other reviews... A marginally earlier edition, but one showing similar characteristics. Colour: golden amber. Nose: this feels a little rounder, with sunflower oil, but otherwise it’s quite similar. Milk chocolate rather than dark, shall we say. Mouth: there’s slightly less spice here, indeed, and we’re closer to chocolate with citrus. A touch of pink grapefruit, which is fun. And pink pepper while we’re at it. Finish: fairly long, once again close to #19, but without the barrage of spice. Comments: truth be told, we’re extremely close, but as they say, one could drink a double magnum of each, head-to-head, and still not be entirely sure they’re really different. Are they? Let’s say we slightly prefer this one, but that’s even more arbitrary than usual. 85 points - whiskyfun.com

    ...Signatory makes Macallan what it should be: a good sherry whisky with a few rough edges from the wood after 15 years. It may not have the elegance Macallan is known for; the originals are too expensive and pretentious for me to buy or even taste. This whisky is reasonably priced, its age is evident through the robust sherry wood, and the fruit aromas are present. This is a lovely whisky. - whiskybase.com

    Drawing inspiration from Queensland’s hot climate & tropical produce, this release was created to celebrate the opening of the 78˚ Brisbane bar, 'Purple Palm'. Marrying juicy mangoes, pineapples & passionfruit, the distillery have created a gin where rich tropical fruits are balanced by refreshing citrus. There's lots of Passionfruit up front, with overripe pineapple dancing across the palate. The sweetness of juicy mango lingers on the finish and makes you want to come back sooner rather than later for the next sip. 42% Alc./Vol.

    ABV: 42%

    While the distinct notes of a traditional gin are still present, the infusion of leftover cacao husks from the chocolate-making process gives this gin a rich, velvety undertone of bittersweet chocolate. Native wattleseed and Riverland oranges further enhance the profile, lending a subtle sweetness and depth. The rich, smooth taste of dark chocolate takes centre stage, while the bright tone of Jaffa orange provides a refreshing contrast, and the toasted wattleseed lends a nutty undertone. Lending a rich chocolate note to classic cocktails, Chocolate Gin is also great partnered with a light tonic or ginger ale. 42% Alc./Vol.

    Tasmania, AUSTRALIA
    $189. 99
    Bottle
    $2279.88 Dozen
    ABV: 59.7%

    Another novel expression from Belgrove, made from barley grown and malted on site, then cold-smoked by burning sheep dung. Maturation took place in a single second-fill American oak cask. 59.7% Alc./Vol.

    Notes from the producers... Nose: Very elegant smokiness due to the cold smoking; the grain beautifully shines through after the smoke. Packed with hazelnut-chocolate notes, and Perello Manzanilla olives (call me crazy!). Palate: Exceptionally light and gives serious summer vibes! The sweetness trickles slowly across the front palate, then a gentle warmth with hints of sweet smoke fills the mouth, giving off notes of cigars (think a light Cohiba). At a natural cask strength of 59.7%, it’s insanely smooth and lingers for light-years!!

    Armagnac, FRANCE
    $89. 99
    Bottle
    $1079.88 Dozen
    ABV: 40%

    A blend of Ugni Blanc, Bacco and Folle Blanche eaux de vie from Bas Armagnac and Tenarèze wines, aged mostly in Limousin oak casks. A wonderful bouquet features lifted aromas of sweet oak and rich, weighty scents of marzipan, cherry tobacco, raisin bread and new leather. There’s classic Armagnac concentration, yet it's contemporary and accessible - soft, round and supple, conjuring flavours of prune, cocoa and honey - sweet, but not overly so - and poised to finish dry with late suggestions of almonds, leather and dates. The length is good. The balance is impeccable. The price is a no-brainer. 40% Alc./Vol.

    More about this house...Janneau was founded in 1851 by Pierre Etienne Janneau, then passed through four generations until Cognac giant, Martell, purchased the family property in the early 1970s. Significant investments in new equipment expanded the maison's capacity making it one of the most important production plants and storage facilities in the region. In 1993, the Giovinettis bought Janneau with the intention of returning the house to its original status as a family-run business. Janneau continues to be distinguished from other producers in their use of two types of distillation: both continuous and double.

    From the same highly acclaimed estate that produced the 2022 Nicks Secret PE STYN Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon, comes this, their flagship offering that normally commands a $120.00 price tag. Made by the 2024 James Halliday’s Wine Companion’s winemaker of the year, it has quality stamped all over it’s DNA. At around a third of it’s normal asking price, this is rare opportunity to acquire a top echelon Coonawarra Cabernet at an amazing price.

    An imposing Coonawarra Cabernet that combines richness and power with serious structure.

    Midnight black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Potent aromas of blackcurrant, liquorice and ripe mulberry engulf the olfactory senses with complimenting notes of spicy vanillin cedar, tobacco, earthy dark chocolate and subtle mint ensuing. Rich, full bodied and structural, the palate is flooded with ripe blackcurrant fruit which melds into a mulberry, dark chocolate, delicate mint, earth, vanillin cedar and subtle spicy tobacco back drop. Concentrated and powerful, it possesses a firm, muscular tannin framework which imposes a grippy feel across the long, robust yet densely fruited finish. An outstanding example of Coonawarra Cabernet that has a long life ahead of it.
    Drink over the next 8-10 years.

    A blend of three parcels, everything about this wine screams quality, ……. Wine like this deserves the unfurling and awakening that comes with a slow decant, so take the time to open this and stay awhile. Begins with cassis and just-picked blackberries, salted plum and red pepper strands, pink peppercorns and tobacco leaf. Oak licks in around the edges with cumin, caraway and a dusting of nutmeg, while a ribbon of red cherry makes a mid-palate appearance. Tannins, oh the tannins – what a display of grace and power. This is made of guts and glory and will age like great cabernet sauvignon should, over decades. Drink by 2038.

    Armagnac, FRANCE
    $499. 00
    Bottle
    $5988.00 Dozen
    ABV: 43%

    In a world of wood-aged spirits distilled from raw materials throughout the year, Armagnac stands out as a product of viticulture, subject to annual growth cycles and variations inherent to 'vintages'. Blending multiple harvests to create a consistent house style remains common, however vintage-dated Armagnacs are another thing - distilled from a single harvest, grapes are moulded by the year’s climatic conditions, partly determining outturn and quality. Vines are cultivated to obtain acidic wines, low in alcohol, resulting in fruity and floral eaux-de-vie. Most vintages are potentially marketable, however it's not a standard practise. Eaux-de-vie from a single year requires particular care and attention. Distillation and ageing must be adapted to capture the individual character of the distillate, and the Cellar Master must decide on the period it should spend in new oak. The minimum is ten years (unlike blends), but if the Armagnac is deemed capable of extended ageing, it might mean 20, 50 or even 100 years in barrel. Thus, with experience and patience, these bottlings can enter the realm of top-tier spirits.

    Connoisseurs love Vintage Armagnacs because they have the ability to surprise - or at the very least - deliver more distinctive profiles than a mass blended brandy. Producers classify their diversity into five primary tastes – spices, fruits, bakery, floral, and green – with three different weights, ranging from “fine, light, and easy to drink” to “classic, rich, and well-balanced,” up to the "more powerful and expressive" vintages.

    Because they're prominently labelled with the year of production, these gems have become hugely popular as gifts whereby birthdays and anniversaries can be marked by a singular bottle - a way to turn back the clock via a liquid time capsule, rekindle memories and reflect. If you're lucky enough to secure a Vintage Armagnac but aren't ready to open it, store it upright so the alcohol doesn't attack the cork, in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, there's no hurry to finish it. These spirits don't oxidise quickly like a wine or Vintage Port, but they are best consumed within a few years, as recommended by the BNIA (Bureau National Interprofessionnel de l’Armagnac).

Vines are cultivated to obtain acidic wines, low in alcohol, resulting in fruity and floral eaux-de-vie. Most vintages are potentially marketable, however it's not a standard practise. Eaux-de-vie from a single year requires particular care and attention. Distillation and ageing must be adapted to capture the individual character of the distillate, and the Cellar Master must decide on the period it should spend in new oak. The minimum is ten years (unlike blends), but if the Armagnac is deemed capable of extended ageing, it might mean 20, 50 or even 100 years in barrel. Thus, with experience and patience, these bottlings can enter the realm of top-tier spirits.

    Connoisseurs love Vintage Armagnacs because they have the ability to surprise - or at the very least - deliver more distinctive profiles than a mass blended brandy. Producers classify their diversity into five primary tastes – spices, fruits, bakery, floral, and green – with three different weights, ranging from “fine, light, and easy to drink” to “classic, rich, and well-balanced,” up to the "more powerful and expressive" vintages.

    Because they're prominently labelled with the year of production, these gems have become hugely popular as gifts whereby birthdays and anniversaries can be marked by a singular bottle - a way to turn back the clock via a liquid time capsule, rekindle memories and reflect. If you're lucky enough to secure a Vintage Armagnac but aren't ready to open it, store it upright so the alcohol doesn't attack the cork, in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, there's no hurry to finish it. These spirits don't oxidise quickly like a wine or Vintage Port, but they are best consumed within a few years, as recommended by the BNIA (Bureau National Interprofessionnel de l’Armagnac).

    Vineyards suffered heavy frosts in 1984, so production was well down making this vintage quite rare. The producers hadn’t seen such disastrous frosts like it since 1977. Bottles released to date reportedly offer notes of candied fruits and rancio.

    Gonon's 2019 Saint Joseph retains the typical floral signature on the nose, but it is more dark-fruited than usual, with notes of black cherries, blackberries and even black olives. It's medium to full-bodied, the first vintage recorded over 14% alcohol, according to Jean Gonon (14.2%). Concentrated, rich and velvety in feel, it boasts a long, gently chewy finish and should age well. Drink 2025-2038.

    I am totally hooked by the flamboyance of the 2019 Saint-Joseph. Vinified with around 90% whole-clusters and checking in at 14.2% alcohol, the 2019 bursts with pronounced intensity of black cherry, blackberry, raspberry, crushed violets, licorice and earthy gradations. Discrete pencil shaving nuances add a ferrous dimension. Showing slightly grippier tannins compared to the more polished 2020, I suspect the 2019 will need a few more years to come around. Hitting the palate with a juicy core of ripe black fruits all balanced by refreshing acidity, this is a sexy Saint-Joseph that will stand the test of time. Drink 2028-2037.

    Moving to the flagship, the 2019 Saint Joseph got a big “wow” in my notes, and this is the finest wine I’ve tasted from these hard-working brothers. Awesome red and black fruits, ground pepper, and hints of game and meatiness all emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied on the palate, with perfect balance, silky tannins, and one heck of a finish. This brilliant Saint Joseph is one of the top wines in the appellation and can be enjoyed any time over the coming 15 years. Drink 2022-2037.

    Incredibly open and vibrant aromatics of black olive tapenade, bay leaf and rosemary. Mouth-filling but without excessive weight, this is juicy and fresh. Finishing dry, this is a wine that’s entirely satisfying, delicious and sweetly fruited, with good acidity and length. Simply a brilliant wine, no matter how you measure it. Drink 2022-2034.

    More floral and red fruited than the 2019, Gonon's 2018 Saint Joseph is a medium to full-bodied effort that will please fans of this exemplary estate. Cherries and raspberries are joined by hints of violets and mint on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is starting to close down just a bit and show firm but ripe and silky tannins on the long, mouthwatering finish. Try to avoid opening a bottle for another few years, as the first flattering flush of youth is fast giving way to sullen adolescence. Drink 2025-2038.

    Deep violet. Intensely perfumed, mineral-accented aromas of red and blue fruit preserves, licorice, exotic spices and potpourri, along with an exotic suggestion of incense. Stains the palate with concentrated black raspberry, cassis, bitter cherry and fruitcake flavors that are given spicy lift by a suggestion of white pepper. A violet pastille nuance emerges with aeration and carries through an extremely long, youthfully tannic finish that shows outstanding definition and mineral thrust. Drink 2026-2036.

    Cut from the same cloth as the 2019, the 2018 Saint Joseph is a dark, powerful, medium to full-bodied effort that has the sunny, ripe style of the vintage balanced beautifully by purity and freshness. Violets, spring flowers, bay leaf, and pepper-laced darker berry fruits give way to a polished, seamless Saint Joseph with terrific tannins and a great mid-palate. Both the 2018 and 2019 are terrific wines, with the 2019 showing just a touch more structure.

    Deeply aromatic with violets and Kalamata olives, it's wildly resinous with a touch of black cherry. Medium- to full-bodied, it's more concentrated and fresher than most Saint-Josephs this year. It has the classic depth and texture of Gonon's Saint-Joseph, thick and alive, like a jungle. Very long finish with a floral lift. A big vintage here - increasingly the norm. Better freshness and lower alcohol heat than most in 2019. Drink 2023-2030.

    2015 Signatory Vintage Glen Spey 9 Year Old 100 Proof Edition #37 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
    Speyside, Highlands, SCOTLAND
    $119. 99
    Bottle
    $1439.88 Dozen
    ABV: 57.1%

    Considered by several whisky writers as "one of the most 'obscure' distilleries in Scotland", Glen Spey would have continued to slip under the radar of malt chasers, had it not been for a handful of favourable releases. Formerly known as the "Mill of Rothes", it was built in 1878 by James Stuart & Co (who later went on to buy the Macallan distillery). Always intended as a filler for blends, as with its neighbour, Glen Grant, pot stills are equipped with "purifiers", redirecting some vapour to reflux within the still to produce a less feinty and lighter spirit. This edition was matured in a first-fill sherry butt. 57.1% Alc./Vol. Non-chill filtered.

    Other reviews... Always these very affordable series from Signatory, with that heavily worked sherry that perhaps doesn’t always let the character of the distillate shine through, but does its job very, very well. Colour: full gold. Nose: ah this is pretty, there's a touch of exhaust fumes (not pleasant in the street but sometimes rather charming in your glass), then green walnuts, cherry stalks, and peach leaves. A few hints of satay sauce, followed by pear cake. With water: marked saponification but it fades quickly, then comes a mix of Indian spices, think tandoori seasoning. Mouth (neat): surprising, on mustard, pepper, tar and dark chocolate, quite the unusual trio. With water: this time, beyond the Indian spices, there's candied ginger and fir bud. Really very unusual. Finish: long, and there's even a flavour of poppadums at the end. Comments: very hard to categorise, this isn't your typical sherry cask. In any case, it feels much more Indian than those super Indian malt whiskies, ha. 84 points - whiskyfun.com

    Scotch whisky lovers will be familiar with the concept of octaves. As with the Quarter Cask approach, essentially, the smaller barrel volume creates more wood-whisky interaction, soaking up barrel characteristics faster. While the rapid wood influence adds more vanilla and spice, it requires careful management to avoid over-oaking, which is why octaves are typically employed to 'refine' whiskies, improving colour and adding complexity over months as a finishing, rather than a full term process. Glenglassaugh take the concept to an extreme! According to the producers, expect "A delicious combination of citrus and sweet notes". Non chill filtered and natural colour. 44% Alc./Vol.

    Other reviews... I’ve tried quite a few octaves by other makers that had been too new-oaky (vanilla, coconut, and basta), but let’s see… Colour: pale gold. Nose: it’s got a ‘crafty’ side for sure, with a youth that shines through (porridge, pears) and some half-sweet, half-spicy oak, very ‘American’. Vanilla, ginger cake, then rather butterscotch and crème brulée. The earthy/bready touches in the background work well, this is not a new-oak bomb. Mouth: a creamy mouth feel, it almost flows like honey, and a very pleasant acidic sweetness mingle with grassy oak. Citron liqueur and green tea, pepper, a few grassy eau-de-vie-ish notes (I’ve distilled spent lees on day, the result had a few similar notes), some bay leaves perhaps… The oak’s influence never stops growing and rather makes me think of European oak this time. But I doubt it’s European oak. Finish: rather long, really grassy and bitter, not in a bad way at all. Herb cordial. The vanilla is back in the aftertaste and comes with oranges or citrons. Comments: a good example of some young malt from some active oak. This time, balance has been found.  78 points - whiskyfun.com

    Bottle

    ABV: 44%

    Distilled from richly peated malted barley, this whisky has been matured in octave casks, made from staves of a used cask. Octaves are approximately 1/8th the size of a butt. The smaller cask allows for more interaction between the wood and the spirit, giving the whisky a great depth of flavour in a short period of time. Bottled at 44%, non chill filtered and natural colour. Expect a delicate, sweet peated stye.

    Other reviews... Colour: gold. Nose: could one use a mix of curry powder and antiseptic to smoke malted barley? Odd question, I know, but I do get quite some curry and quite some antiseptic, which is a combination that’s not as, well, as odd as you would think. Then we find more bandages and lemon juice, which is all fine. It’s actually got something slightly Laphroaiggy, not a bad benchmark for sure. Mouth: it’s not that I’m a peat head (I can hear you!), but the young distillate offered more resistance to the octaves, and the oak’s grassy/gingery side seems to be better integrated. Nice notes of lemongrass too, but the medicinal side has been lost on the palate. After all, Glenglassaugh’s not quite a coastal distillery, is it (I know some industry people are claiming that the whole of Scotland is coastal, which should imply that the place where you mature your whiskies does not matter. A long debate, not for here and not for now…) Finish: rather long, balanced, zesty/grassy and smoky. More ginger and pepper again in the aftertaste, that’s the octaves. Comments: a solid effort.  80 points - whiskyfun.com

    A Riesling that is true to style and region, sourced from around Leasingham, where there are, and have been over many years, some of the finest Rieslings in the country made. The aroma is a lemon pith, tart lime, and slightly minerally combination, and the palate shows a typical tension, and yet there is a deep intensity. The generous fruit flavours are tightened by the crisp acidity, which focuses and extends the palate. That crunchy, pebbly minerality on the finish is a feature. Drink 2025-2035.

    One of three wines now carrying the Church Block brand and given Shiraz is McLaren Vale’s leading red it makes sense to be part of such a high-profile team. Sourcing from several separate vineyards, this then stands as a regional expression of the variety, and quite a contemporary one at that. More than just a simplistic Shiraz plum fruit bomb, here we see savoury bouquet and flavours, Middle Eastern spices, braised root vegetables, black pepper, yet right in the core of the palate there’s an alluring burst of crimson to blue fruits, just enough to put any oak influence – both French and American with a tiny 8% new barrels – in its rightful background place. All up a lovely, friendly, very drinkable regional Shiraz.

    The 2023 Blewitt Springs Grenache is an aromatic, floral, red-fruited affair, shaped by abundant, sandy tannins in the mouth and tailing out over a long finish. This is supple, saturating and silky in the mouth, delivering all of the pleasure and satisfaction that Grenache (especially Grenache from McLaren Vale) is wont to do. There are notes of garden rose, pink peppercorn, red licorice, raspberry, cherry and blood orange. This is a marvelous wine, my favorite of the Clarendon Hills Grenaches in this vintage. A superstar. The tannins are the highlight—they create chew and shape—despite the fruit being marvelous. 14% alcohol, sealed under Diam. Drink 2025-2038.

    Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate

    Fragrant, in a spicy way, fruits deep red and black, tar and a rugged, ferrous rockiness, with clove, black pepper, star anise, brown cardamom, red and purple florals and soused citrus peel. It’s not unusual here, but this really needs ample air to show its best. It has less heft than the Onkaparinga, but still plenty of power and structure, plus a supple viscosity across the palate. As said, air is needed, with floral notes filtering out and a greater sense of levity. Cellar for a couple of years to begin with or decant and stand for a half a day. Drink by 2033.

    Vibrant purple fruit with layers of blackberries, bitter chocolate, violets and raspberries on the nose. The medium-bodied palate shows refined tannins and balanced acidity that lead into a savory, herbal finish. Poised and polished. Drink or hold.

    Round and full with pear, green to red apple and lime fruits, crisp, tangy acidity and a long saline laced finish.

    This small planting (less than 1 hectare) of Fiano on the Jasper Hill property is located very close to the winery at the southern end of Georgia’s Paddock. The wine is made by Emily and Georgia Roberts and in the early years was produced entirely from purchased fruit. The 2025 vintage is a 50/50 blend of estate grown and purchased fruit which was partially fermented in used oak and bottled relatively early (under stelvin) to retain freshness.
    Bright pale straw to straw colour with a watery hue. Intense aromas of pear, red apple and honeysuckle are released through the nose followed by some lime and subtle ginger spice notes. Round and full on entry with pear, green to red apple and lime fruits melding into a Mediterranean herb and saline mineral like back drop. Crisp, tangy acidity lends an energetic feel to the long saline laced finish.
    Drink over the next year.

    Floral and charming, with aromas of apricot blossoms, citrus peel, lemon confit, jasmine and chalk. The palate is textural and mid-weighted, with slight phenolic grip and bright acidity leading into a lush, generous mouthfeel with plenty of tension. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    Seriously swoon-worthy; Lo Stesso Fiano just keeps getting better and better with each release. The McNallys have worked with the grape for years and experience shows through in a complexity of flavours, textures and the kind of gentle savouriness that adds that extra layer of interest. Explores a world of intense citrus, of lemon balm, grapefruit pith and skin, lemon pastille and orange blossom aromatics, with pear, apple, quince and almond. So smooth; it roams fresh and long, aided by a subtle phenolic grip and tangy acid drive. So good on every level! Drink by 2030.

    From a single block, planted with MV6 in 2004. Significantly better than the '24 Shed Pinot Noir and for not a whole lot more in price. A bright ruby-red colour precedes a well-defined bouquet of redcurrant and cranberry together with summer flowers. The palate is elegant, with gently crunchy tannins rounding out a very well-put-together wine to drink now and over the next three to five years at least. Drink by 2030.

    Philip Rich – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion

    A close-planted, north-easterly vineyard of MV6 is the home of this Pinot, which shows intense, ripe aromas without being excessive. The nose is delightful, with heady aromas of red cherry, strawberry, confectionery, rhubarb and some earthiness and stemminess – the tertiary characters are still yet to present themselves. The Pinot is still quite a youngster, as it often takes a while for it to settle down in bottle and show its best, so while it’s lovely now, it’ll get even better with a bit more bottle age.
