Rich, concentrated and juicy the palate is flooded with dark cherry and strawberry fruits which overlay a back drop of anise, earth and spicy cedar. Showing ample power and a fleshy texture, it has fine grained tannins and a long, spicy conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

The first Yarra Valley Pinot from Munda comes from a mix of red-brown clay, deep red volcanic soils, and granite. It is a wine with an alluring and well-composed nose: crunchy cranberries, polished red cherries, wild violets and some lovely vanilla, musk stick, a touch of cardamom, and cedar. The palate is juicy and, once again, well composed on its fruit and oak profile. More apparent is that the blood orange and earthy character, with elegant, granular tannins, giving a texture that reminds me of a chestnut. It is a well-made, balanced wine that is still in its prime. Drink 2024-2030.

Cellar: Drink now - 6 Years (2024-2030)

ABV: 14.6%

Closure: Stelvin

Midnight black in colour with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Wafting through the olfactory senses with plenty of intensity are ripe blackcurrant and liquorice aromas followed by some cigar box, earthy black olive and spicy bay leaf notes. Rich blackcurrant fruit infused with black olives are framed by a sturdy tannin structure. Notions of cigar box, earthy tobacco characters and spicy dried herbs ensue. Dry, slightly grippy finish that nonetheless shows ample length.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Good lord, this is good. Initially, the nose opens with graphite and steel shavings, but the fruit beneath it rises up and absorbs almost everything in its savoury, red embrace. This will show best another year from now, when everything has come together even more. Routinely an impressive wine. This vintage no exception. Drink by 2036.

2024 Rob Hall Pinot Noir

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$26. 99
Bottle
$323.88 Dozen

Cellar: Drink now - 5 Years (2025-2030)

ABV: 13.5%

Closure: Stelvin

Growing up in Healesville, a young Rob Hall did some summer work in the vineyards during the early to mid nineties before taking up full time work at Yarra Ridge then Punt Road. From 2002 to 2011 he was the winemaker at Mount Mary, it wasn’t until 2014 that he took the leap and began his own operation.
2024 was excellent year in the Yarra Valley, after a wet spring, summer came good with slow ripening days, resulting in lovely aromatics and wonderful intensity. This Pinot Noir was sourced from five vineyards – Harriet’s, Full Moon, Boat O’Craigo, Nenagh Park and Yarrawalla with only 10% of the Harriet’s component being whole bunch. Maturation was predominantly in seasoned hogheads and puncheons (300 & 500L).
Rich, powerful and expansive Yarra Valley Pinot that over delivers.
Semi translucent dark red core with black shaded edges and a light red hue. Exhibiting a perfumed like intensity, the nose is engulfed with dark cherry, violet, strawberry and subtle rhubarb scents. Anise, brambly dried herb, forest floor and spice notes also chime in to lend further interest. Expansive, concentrated and supplely textured, rich dark cherry and strawberry fruits unfold across the palate with terrific power. Extending through the back half are complexing notions of subtle rhubarb, traces of anise, brambly cedar, dried herbs, delicate forest floor and spice. Velvet smooth tannins impart a silken feel which carries right through to a long, incredibly moreish finish. This is Rob Hall in top form.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Kim Crawford Chardonnay shows a medium straw hue with lifted aromas of citrus, stone fruit, and tropical pineapple. The palate is medium-bodied and creamy, offering flavours of lemon meringue and butterscotch, with bright citrus and stone fruit at its core. Approachable yet persistent, this Chardonnay is a true expression of New Zealand winemaking, with a few years of cellaring potential. It pairs beautifully with seafood like grilled prawns or salmon, creamy pastas, and soft cheeses such as Camembert.

2017 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Volnay Santenots du Milieu Premier Cru

Burgundy, FRANCE
$430. 00
Bottle
$5160.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
A super-fresh if somewhat brooding nose is comprised by notes of essence of red pinot fruit, spice and lavender that really helped from being in a decanter for 30 minutes first. The succulent and reasonably concentrated medium weight flavors exude a subtle minerality before concluding in a compact, powerful, complex and impressively persistent finish. This seems to have put on weight since I last reviewed it and I like the overall sense of harmony and balance. In sum, this is evolving nicely though I underscore that it still needs at least another 5 or so years. In a word, lovely. Try from 2027+.

The 2017 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu confirms its strong showing from barrel, soaring from the glass with scents of ripe cherries, red berries, rose petals, orange rind and a deft touch of toasty new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with melting tannins, succulent acids and a charming, supple profile that makes it hard to resist. Drink 2022-2040.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 10, 2020)
The 2017 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru was opened by Dominique Lafon just because he wanted to compare with the ensuing two vintages. Who was I to stop him? It is very different in style from those vintages: redder fruit, more transparency, charming, and it wears its heart on its sleeve. The palate is full of slightly peppery red berry fruit, saline and spicy with good grip and a long raspberry and wild strawberry finish. So unbelievably drinkable, even at this early stage you’ll finish bottle. Drink 2023-2040.
94 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
Dominique thinks this may be THE vintage of the recent past, even at 55 hl/ha. This view may be conditioned by having just lived through making the third hot dry vintage in a row. The 2017 may be a fraction lighter in colour, but it is really haunting in its fruit, superbly balanced, medium density, a crisp tannin or two right at the back and now here comes the fruit again. I see what Dominique means – certainly if you want to drink in the medium-term future.

Bottle
$5400.00 Dozen

ABV: 13%

Closure: Cork

Other Reviews....
A markedly riper yet agreeably fresh and spicy nose somewhat grudgingly reveals its aromas of cool and pure black currant and dark cherry that are trimmed in pretty floral nuances. The middle weight flavors exhibit excellent energy and concentration while retaining a lovely sense of refinement on the powerful, focused and impressively long and slightly warm finish that is shaped by firm but fine tannins. This excellent effort should age gracefully for years. Drink through 2033+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
Lafon's finest red this year is, as usual, the 2018 Volnay 1er Cru Les Santenots-du-Milieu, a wine that combines the finesse of the Clos des Chênes with the power and depth of the Champans. Exhibiting a complex bouquet of cherries, smoky wild berries, rich soil tones, violets and dark chocolate, it's medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with refined tannins and a sense of controlled power.
92-94 points
William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 10, 2020)
The 2018 Volnay Les Santenots-du-Milieu 1er Cru has the most intense bouquet of Dominique Lafon’s Volnays this year, intense black cherry scents intermingling with boysenberry and light cassis aromas, all delivered with the utmost detail. The palate offers black cherry and raspberry fruit infused with violets, very fine tannins and gentle grip. The silky-smooth finish fans out gloriously. Stunning. Drink 2023-2050.
94-96 points
Neal Martin - Vinous
Fine depth of colour. The nose from the start suggests that this is a complete wine. Plums as much as dark raspberries, with its clay based weight, a few tannins but in proportion to the fruit, just the right thread of acidity, a fabulous weighty but balanced Volnay Santenots.

Rich fruits carry a refined opulence across a medium to full bodied palate that finishes long and understated.
Awarded an MW of wine in 2020, winemaker Duane Coates is by his own admission, a 'heart over head' winemaker. Inclined to make wine from almost any interesting parcel of fruit made available to him, he tends to make accountants wince. For Duane, making great wine is not about business decisions; it’s about curiosity, passion, and a little bit of folly. His wines marry Australia’s richness of fruit with the savouriness and complexity of the old world.
Matured for 18 months in 20% new French oak. Dense midnight black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Flooding the nostrils are intense ripe blackberry, liquorice and black cherry aromas followed by hints of dark chocolate, vanillin cedar, scorched earth, dried meat and peppered herb notes. Rich blackberry, liquorice and dark plum fruits carry a refined opulence across the medium to full bodied palate. Spicy vanillin cedar, traces of earth, dark chocolate and pepper elements extend across the back half. Excellent concentration with tightly knit, fine grained tannins providing a sturdy structure. The long understated conclusion showing ample freshness. Should unfurl gracefully over the next 6-8 years.

Other Reviews.....
A low-yielding vintage and not the finest for reds but it’s not all bad news – chardonnay is stealing the limelight. So many excellent ones, and here, another. It oscillates between flinty and fine, then builds, offering flavour and detail via winemaking (as in the creamy, nutty lees, the barrel ferment funk); it’s all here. Plenty of citrus, too. Mouth-watering acidity throughout and finishes convincingly.
95 points
Jane Faulkner - James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion
Here’s a rich, complex and powerful wine. Nectarine, lime, lemon oil, cinnamon, mint, sourdough, grilled nuts with a sea spray top note. It’s saline and savoury, quite some tang and grapefruit bite to acidity, flinty and chalky texture, a light creamy gloss, intense and very long, closing with lime zest and salted pistachio (or something nutty like that). Impressive. Drink 2025 - 2032+.

This is a stunning Riesling and amazing value. It might sound like the proverbial broken record but anyone claiming to like Riesling who is not buying, drinking and cellaring these is not serious. Rob Diletti sees this as his flagship. The fruit is all from the estate, from six different blocks, aged between two and four decades. Only the first press of 450 litres/tonne is used here. A bright lemon hue, it is leaner and more elegant than the Skywalk, as expected, with notes of florals, oystershells, citrus including fresh lime and grapefruit pith, and a line of saline acidity. Focus and length are present. This is easily a ten to twenty year proposition. A wonderful Riesling and one which is must-have value. Drink 2024-2044.

It’s nervy, energising and still finding its groove. It pulses, with vibrant acidity taking the lead over everything, although there’s still lemon and grapefruit flavours, spicy oak and superfine gossamer-like nutty lees. In another year, this will be more compelling. Drink by 2033.

Jane Faulkner – James Halliday’s Australian Wine Companion
The 2023 Chardonnay hails from a mild to cool (and dry) season in Margaret River, one that, by all accounts, will be a superb vintage for Chardonnay. On the nose here, the wine leads with lemon butter and white peach, nashi pear and green apple, with brine, cashew nuts and spring flowers. The acidity in the mouth is typically intense in young Xanadu Chardonnay—part of the legacy of the house style that eschews malolactic fermentation—and so it presents as I would expect it to, in a season already imbued with zesty natural acids. There is plenty of race and pace in this wine, but there is some creaminess, too. It will be better in a few years, I believe, although much of this cuvée will be purchased and consumed early. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. Drink 2026-2035.
92+ Points
Erin Larkin – Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate
The nose is very focused and mineral-driven, with aromas of lemon peel, gun smoke, white peaches and sea spray. The palate is medium-bodied with focused acidity and a generous texture, giving notes of grapefruit pith, salt brine and green papayas. A very minerally and steely structure that will soften nicely in the years to come. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Review Summary: Deeply fruited with dry chalky tannins and bright acidity leading into a slightly grippy finish.
The Detailed review: A blend of Lagrein and Shiraz along with a small amount of Merlot. Pitch black heart with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Elevated ripe blackcurrant, dark cherry and liquorice aromas intermix with Mediterranean herb, inky earth and spice notes. Rich juicy blackcurrant and liquorice fruits have an inky back drop of earth, fresh herb infusions and spice.

The Detailed review: Matured for 18 months in new and seasoned French oak barriques and puncheons. Dense pitch black heart with a dark red black tinged hue. Potent black cherry and liquorice aromas are interwoven with smoked dried meat, spicy vanillin cedar and peppered earth notes. Rich, densely concentrated and powerful, the full bodied palate is swamped with lush black cherry and liquorice fruits which are framed by a sturdy tannin structure. Scorched earth, black olive, dried meat, vanillin cedar and blackpepper characters lurk in the background. Slightly chewy in it’s feel, it concludes long, deeply fruited and peppery.

Cellar: Drink now - 5 Years (2025-2030)

ABV: 13.5%

Review Summary: A generously fruited light to mid weight Pinot that has a fleshy feel.
The Detailed review: Moorooduc Estate, planted in 1982, was one of the first to be established on the Mornington Peninsula by Richard and Jill McIntyre. With yields of less than 2 tons per acre and the fruit 100% destemmed the resultant wine was matured in French oak with 22% being new for a period of 10 months.
Dark red core with black shaded edges and a dark red hue. Expressive dark cherry, strawberry and rhubarb scents sail out of the glass trailed by some anise, dried herb, bramble, forest floor and spice notes. Light to medium bodied, generous dark cherry, strawberry and rhubarb flavours possess a fleshy feel. Some anise, brambly cedar, forest floor and spicy dried herb elements lie underneath. Polished yet sturdy tannins with a moderately powered conclusion.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.

Kilchoman Sanaig 2024 Edition Cask Strength Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)

Islay, SCOTLAND
$199. 99
Bottle
$2399.88 Dozen

ABV: 57.8%

Sanaig and Machir Bay are Kilchoman’s two core products, but only the latter has had the honour of an occasional cask strength release. Prospective samples of Sanaig were floated during a 2021 Feis Isle virtual tasting. No release date was ever suggested and the label had to wait until November 2024 to finally get its own natural-strength iteration. Looking at the colour, you might think they've mistakenly filled the bottle with Loch Gorm. That's down to a high proportion of x-Oloroso sherry casks (the remaining 30% are x-Bourbon). Essentially, this release uses the same recipe as the regular Sanaig, however, we can assume casks have been cherry-picked, then bottled uncut as opposed to the regular release strength of 46% ABV. Impressive from the get go, through that’s fairly standard praise for Kilchoman, the bouquet kicks off with menthol rub, iodine, damp earth and wood smoke with bitter peel and dark chocolate in tow. Creamy on entry, then catapults into a full-throttle mid palate attack, keynotes being cocoa, Oloroso sherry and sweet peat. Bracing spices and alcohol give this a drying, bittersweet finale, trailing off with pepper, elastoplast and nutty chocolate. Feels like there's more sherry influence than your standard Sanaig. Either way, it's an absolute blast for Islay fans. No outturn is stated, but the Australian allocations are likely in the hundreds rather than the thousands. 57.8% Alc./Vol. Non chill filtered.
Other reviews... From this Islay-based distillery comes an annual expression matured in both sherry and bourbon casks. Smoke on the nose, Grape-Nuts, tasty peat smoke, and barbecue. The palate has heat but is flavorful and not at all spiky, showing pleasant flavors of raspberry compote and an earthy note of pipe tobacco. The finish is long, with red berries, smoke, and peat embers. Smoky, with lively fruit notes that rise above the peat. 92 points - whiskyadvocate.com
...the entry is bold and spicy, with an explosive mix of black pepper, chilli, nutmeg and aniseed, anticipating a palate of dark pastry, chocolate, red fruit (sour cherries, plums, blackberries), sweet liquorice, blood orange juice, pink grapefruit and carob. Fleshy and iodised smoke that envelops the flavours like Linus’ blanket. The addition of water accentuates the marine aspect, bringing sulphurous notes to the surface. The long finish is coastal and full, with a tingle of spices that accompany red fruits and citrus, liquorice, chocolate, coffee and a vegetal, sulphurous vein. This is closer to a Loch Gorm on steroids than the original, which could be seen as either a distortion of the classic Sanaig or a liberation of its nature. A matter of opinion, mine appreciates the fullness of a slightly rambunctious but sincere dram. - Lamberto Lamarina, whiskyart.blog

Other Reviews....
Here too whiffs of petrol and phenolic character add breadth to the aromas of essence of pear, orange peel and acacia blossom. The dense, sappy and beautifully textured medium weight flavors possess excellent depth and persistence on the balanced finale. This offers excellent quality for its level and is warmly recommended. Drink through 2029+.

Mid lemon yellow. The bouquet has a little softer orchard fruit compared to the Bourgogne, and is very true to its Meursault roots. The white fruit continues on the palate and is now joined by a saline note, while the ripe apples give an immediate appeal. There are little waves of flavour towards the back of the palate. Once again the aftertaste is fine, precise and thoroughly promising. Drink from 2027-2032.

Here a more elegant nose resembles that of the Charles Maxim save for a broader range of floral elements. The palate impression of the medium-bodied flavors is finer and more mineral-driven if not quite as concentrated, all wrapped in a youthfully austere, firm, balanced and bitter zest-inflected finish. One to look for. Drink through 2030+.

Fine pale yellow. The bouquet bursts out of the glass, but with a sense of tension quite different from Charles Maxime. Partly floral, partly fresh greengage, but with some riper tendrils curling round the edges. There is a backbone to this wine, and a sense of precision, which is deeply impressive. Then comes the flesh you would expect from this relatively sunny summer. This wine makes quite a statement. Good natural acidity is part of the equation. Complex and complete agrees Jean-Pierre. 55 year old vines which never over-produce. Drink from 2028-2035.

Like the Bouchères, this is also relatively firmly reduced. On the palate though there is both excellent freshness and verve suffusing the finer and sleeker middleweight flavors that exude evident minerality on the impressively complex, long and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is excellent and a wine that should easily repay a decade plus of keeping. Highly recommended particularly for those who enjoy cellaring their whites. Drink through 2032+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound
Medium to full lemon yellow. The nose has the sensuous richness which characterises Charmes, and the oak seems more prominent. No more new oak has been used for the Charmes but a particular barrel may have given this buttery edge. Jean-Pierre plans to fine this a little more to bring it more into line with the others. The core wine on the palate has the distinction of the other Meursaults, though the buttery note resurfaces at the finish. I have lowered the score based on today’s tasting but have confidence that the final wine will merit more. In fact, the finish encourages me to go up again. Nine barrels, two new, one an experiment, one traditional in its toasting. Drink from 2029-2036.

Ripe and pretty aromas include those of mostly red berries and earth nuances. There is both good vibrancy and detail to the attractively textured middleweight flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the mildly austere and impeccably well-balanced finale. This is firm enough to repay up to a decade of cellaring, which is just as well as it could use better overall depth. Worth considering, especially since this is a bit finer than usual. Drink through 2029+.

Four Pillars Bloody Bandwagon Non Alcoholic Gin (700ml)

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AUSTRALIA
$42. 99
Bottle
$515.88 Dozen

We all want or need some time off the drink every now and again. But time off the drink shouldn’t mean time off decent drinks altogether. Hence, Four Pillars have been quietly working away to bring the botanical flavours of their most popular and iconic gins to life…but in an alcohol-free spirit. This was no simple feat. In fact, it’s probably the single biggest challenge they’ve faced since they started making gin in 2013. Because this isn’t gin. Gin has to have alcohol in it. To make Bloody Bandwagon, they actually do use Shiraz grapes. But because they haven’t been fermented there’s no alcohol. So you’re getting that same Shiraz flavour and colour without the alcohol. Win, win. Use Bloody Bandwagon as you would your ‘regular’ Four Pillars Gin but maybe a bit more liberally, so you can allow the flavour of the non-alcoholic spirit to shine through.

Glendronach 18 Year Old 100% Sherry Matured Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml) - New Packaging

Highlands, SCOTLAND
Reduced from $299.99
$270. 00
Bottle
$3240.00 Dozen

ABV: 46%

"Allardice" has been dropped from the title of this snappy new presentation, however it would appear nothing else has changed. All matured in oloroso sherry casks (according to the website), Glendronach 18 is what many whisky connoisseurs would describe as a sherry bomb: Rich, dark and seductive with feature notes of Christmas cake, rum and allspice married together with aged oloroso, toasted walnut bread and chocolate orange. Put it on your short list of whiskies to try before you die. 46% Alc./Vol.
Other reviews... New look! Matured in Oloroso. They mention ‘Spanish oak casks’ on the label, but I’ve always thought that term could be a tad misleading (not just with Glendronach, mind). What exactly is ‘Spanish’ here, the oak, the casks, or both? That said, we were quite fond of the previous 18-year-old ‘Allardice’ (around 86 points), though it didn’t exactly have us swinging from the rafters – we used to prefer the 15-year-old. Colour: amber. Nose: there’s that Mars bar and millionaire’s shortbread note, followed by a hint of tar and damp earth. It’s got that dunnage warehouse feel, which I rather like. Then, as expected, the walnut wine shows up, with a touch of mustard and clove, before we nose into an old tin of black tea. Nothing to complain about. Mouth: perhaps a touch less precise, opening on peppered chocolate and espresso, moving into Catalan rancio, old walnuts, brown tobacco, and finally, oranges. The texture is a bit lighter than I anticipated, but it all works beautifully. Finish: medium length, with black tea, walnuts, and chocolate with a coffee edge. Comments: I’m not sure if it’s full-on Oloroso maturation or a three-year rerack or so, but I think it’s very well done. For my money, there’s absolutely no reason to think it’s any less good than the Allardice – and hey, I rather prefer the new look. 87 points - whiskyfun.com
[2024 tasting] Densely sherried, the nose is rich and laced with oxidized aromas evoking nutty, winey Pedro Ximenez sherry over oloroso. That’s but an illusion, of course, as this is aged fully in oloroso casks. The impact is impressive all the same: Bold, brooding, and rich, the nose evokes oily leather and furniture polish alongside spicier, racier notes of cinnamon red hots and some cayenne — surprising given its generally tame 46% abv. A not-insignificant level of sea spray salinity is clearly detectable, the Highlands at work. The palate quickly pours on sweeter elements: Molasses, brown butter, warm Coca-Cola, plenty of spice notes. Rich and enveloping on the tongue, the whisky evokes austerity and intrigue: Turkish rug shops, old London barrooms, Asian spice markets. Increasingly nutty as the palate moves toward the finish, the well-sherried experience approaches Madeira at times with its intensely wine-laden quality. Dark chocolate and caramel sweeten up the lengthy, enveloping finish, a healthy baking spice quality — more ginger-driven here — clinging to the back end alongside a sweetening raspberry element. Outstanding stuff. - drinkhacker.com

Yalumba’s Robert Hill Smith and Louisa Rose of Pewsey Vale & Heggies fame are intrinsically linked with Eden Valley Riesling. They had also long admired the potential of Tasmanian Riesling, so when the opportunity came up to work with a unique site of mature Riesling vines they jumped at it.

A scintillating Tassie Riesling - intensely flavoured, pure and pristine.
Brilliant water like core with greenish tinged surrounding edges. Intense lime and Granny Smith apple aromas leap out of the glass followed by some lemon, wet steel and chalky mineral notes. Scrumptious lime, lemon and green apple fruits are underpinned by sizzling acidity which has a distinct flinty theme to it. Dry steely back drop with some chalky elements also evident. The long snappy finish threaded with a distinct minerality. A perfect match with a plate of fresh Tassie oysters.

Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product pictured.

Other reviews... It’s the latest batch of the well-known and now very expensive 18yo ‘sherry’. It’s actually not pure 1996, as it says ‘1996 and earlier years.’ I had found last year’s 1995 very excellent (WF 89.) Colour: amber. Nose: feels like home. It’s probably not as deep and complex as the pre-1980 vintages, and certainly more focused on fruitcake and toffee, but indeed it’s a lovely nose. Glazed chestnuts, honey sauce, touches of fennel or dill, dried porcinis, cigars, toasted brioche and, yeah, sultanas. Really a perfect nose, and the 43% vol. make it pleasantly approachable, in both senses of the word. Mouth: it’s a little narrow, perhaps, less majestic and ample than the old ones for sure, and maybe a little too toffee-ed and malty (Ovaltine-malty.) Raisin-filled chocolate, praline, butterscotch. The mouth feel is perfect, though. Finish: good length, spicy and toffee-ish. Peppered fudge. Comments: very, very good, of course, I’m just missing a little more complexity on the palate. But as they say, ‘it does what it says on the tin.’ 87 points - whiskyfun.com

Savarro is an ancient green-skinned, tight-bunched grape variety that was first recorded in the 10th century. Over the millennia it travelled to all corners of Europe and was then extensively used to create many of today’s modern varieties. The cool climate of the Yarra Valley is perfect for the Savarro, with Soumah’s take on the variety cool tank fermented to retain fresh aromatics and aged on lees to promote texture.
Brilliant water like core with highlights of green around the edges. Elevated aromas of pear and red apple infused with fresh herbs are followed by hints of lime and stony mineral notes. The intensely flavoured palate features scrumptious pear, green to red apple and lime fruits over a fresh herb and flinty mineral laced back drop. Nicely shaped front half with crisp acidity leading into a ravishingly moreish finish that’s long and dry.

Savagnin is the variety. Matured on lees is part of the methodology.
A pale, lighter wine but there’s mettle of texture, grip and swagger of chalkiness, in amongst red apple, green pear, tonic water and waxy cumquat characters. So too a little green almond and cashew nut through it all. A slightly breathy, marzipan note to finish. There’s plenty on here, the texture a highlight and concentration at a lighter weight level impressive. You can say ‘good drinking’ with ease here. Drink 2025-2030.

The '21 vintage was a ripper for Heathcote Shiraz. D'Orsa lifts a notch accordingly, revelling in a marriage of both power and finesse. Lifted and bold in aromas that speak of its location – ripe black fruits, anise, blackstrap licorice, Aussie bush scents, earth and herbs. Opens generously before assuming a fine tannin line emphasising integrated fruit and oak, texture and poise. Cambrian soils bring that special balance and mineral energy to this delightful shiraz.
