Grenache from Barossa, South Australia
In Pete's words "Have a quick look & just hook it! All of the Spinifex wines are just fun! Beautifully crafted and loaded with personality. They can be playful and ready to just enjoy without getting too cerebral like this spicy Rosé. Equally, they can be serious when they need to be. No matter which they always have a great core of fruit as their backbone.
Fiano from McLaren Vale, South Australia
Fiano - A little bit of Italy that has made it's way to Australia! Fiano one of those Italian varieties that just seems to work in the warmer regions of Australia. It holds it's acid, giving the wines great texture and balance, the flavours from the skins are superb, spice and all things nice. It has just a slight silvery line of bitterness to finish, common to so many good Italian whites, which perfectly cleans the finish and marries it to food beautifully.
Riesling from Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Excellent shape and flow on nose and palate. Wonderful wine of delicacy and great expression. Fine, fresh and with plenty of legs on it. Superb mouthfeel. Geoff has great touch offering us a beautifully developed Riesling full of personality, further magnified by releasing with a few years of bottle age.Ridiculous value!Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Oct 2026
Grenache from McLaren Vale, South Australia
Grenache is Back Baby! ... and in Style! So many good wines coming out of Aus! 20 years ago making wines like these would have made you an outcast in McLaren Vale. Times have changed, and, I'm glad they have. Andre & Silena's Rayner Vineyard Grenache (Check out their review in 1min) shows a level of sophistication and rich core of fruit, perfectly balanced with the kind of quality tannins that you can only get from old vines, we're talking 45+ years.
Riesling from Clare Valley, South Australia
Only the 2nd release of the Loosen Barry Slate Hill Riesling. It's the perfect introduction to the collaboration. Patience, with two years on lees in tank develop the wine giving it complexity and mouthfeel. The exceptional natural acidity is tamed by a few grams of residual sugar that go completely unnoticed. A great example of just how simple changes in winemaking, an understanding of élévage and balance can make a remarkable difference when supported by quality fruit.HOT TIP 🔥: It's
Riesling from Adelaide Hills, South Australia
A quick sniff and you know you're in for seriously good drink. Fresh with a core of fruit that supports subtly layered complexity. Properly ripe Sauvignon Blanc showing what a SB at this level should be. Flowing and lovely. Zip of acid, balanced to allow expression of fruit. It is little wonder Geoff's Sauvignon Blancs regularly receive the accolades of being the best in class across Australia and rightly so.Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded Oct 2026
Rosé Blend from McLaren Vale, South Australia
"Pale spicy, dusty and gently earthy, fennel and pink grapefruit, redcurrant, fruit a little down low, texture up. Very zesty, a lot of pink grapefruit and bloody orange, tangy, quite bony, fine dusty texture and grip. though a gentle creaminess to it, and savoury too, lots of sappy and citrus flavours on a long finish. It seems to be built for ageing, though you can serve it now too, cool but not cold! Drink: 2024-2034"Gary Walsh TWF 94 Points
Pinot Noir from Picadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills
Showing the wonderful minerality of Picadilly fresh & vibrant. Excellent red fruit with strawberries and cream. Lacing of florals and citrus, seamless and beautifully integrated. Ripe yet sophisticated, elegant fruit. Complexed by a harmonious reserve wine. Balanced to allow the fruit to shine, vibrant, salty acidity with a calming low dosage. Proper base wine élévage sees a complete wine on release. Xavier goes for a full malo as he doesn’t like the texture of malic acid. Whatever
Mourvèrdre from McLaren Vale, South Australia
"Plenty of spice, white pepper, blue flowers, red and blue fruits, a subtle honey nut and grilled meat character. It’s bright, all boysenberry and blueberry, only medium-bodied, crisp and lively, a slatey/mineral character to acidity, fine dusty concrete tannin, sappy dried herb stuff, pulling crunchy and red fruited on a long finish. Wonderful level of energy and vibrant feel here. It showed no sign of tiring after being open for two days either. Drink: 2024 - 2032+"Gary Walsh TWF 95 Poi
Grenache from McLaren Vale, South Australia
Fascinating set of three wines. The Trenerry is the most perfumed roses, a little menthol, on red fruits, rhubarb and a little orange citrus. Fine, delicate and Pinotesque. Herbal stalk spice with a little grip from stalk tannin. Playful and fun. Fruit builds depth and length in the glass. A freshness, lively acidity and perfume. It will be fascinating to see how this resolves and builds in the bottle over the coming years.
Nebbiolo from Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Now in it’s 18th year of life! A fascinating comparison with the other vintages. Showing beautiful natural acidity, a finer line of tannin, with wonderful development, it is one that could still do with a few more years for the acid to find the equilibrium point and for it to uncoil. Although I suspect a fatty piece of protein would have a symbiotic relationship with this. The wine cleansing the food & the food bringing the balance.On first tasting I paired it the tuna and salmon sush
Nebbiolo from Adelaide Hills, South Australia
Now in it’s 16th year of life! The 2008 is the most structured of the trilogy. Remarkable freshness for a 2008. Seriously impressive secondary development with a superb core of sweet, yet certainly not over the top fruit. Very complete with plush long fine tannins. A fine example of beautifully matured Nebbiolo.Wonderful acid – tannin complex, mouth coating, nutty, even long. Savoury, earthy, hints of tabacco, and leather as a faint sophisticated perfume dancing over the top. Forest floo
