Timorasso from Colli Tortonesi, Piedmont
From near extinction the Massa family have saved Timorasso, for that I am truly thankful! Massa’s Derthona is the perfect introduction to the serious end of the spectrum of Timorasso.Excellent build in depth and length with excellent oxidative line that sits perfectly with fine acid and insane lemon oil.Closed and a little subdued on the nose on opening. A richer iteration that has been tamed by a master craftsmen to offer us a textural, phenolic, luscious and every so slightly oily
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
"“Harvested at about the same time as the Grosses Gewächs (GG) and thus about four weeks after the Kabinett Rieslings, the 2020 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese opens with a pure, fresh and remarkably delicate slate bouquet that is already singing. On the palate, the wine is lush yet filigreed and finessed and provided with delicate, lingering salinity and finely concentrated, perfectly ripe fruit. This gorgeous wine was matured two-thirds in steel and one-third in casks. High
Shiraz/Syrah from Macedon, Victoria
This wine, to state the obvious, has been quite a while coming! In 2014 we began making experimental ferments using four clones from this exciting vineyard and decided to mature the blended bottled wines until we felt they were settled and singing. The 2017 Col Mountain is based on the smooth and aromatic Shiraz clones PT23 and 1654 with a little of the robust and rich Yalumba and R6WV28.The Col Mountain wines, from deep red soil with a significant amount of shattered rock, are earthier and
White Blend from Soave, Veneto
Full richer style with excellent freshness and acid balance. Superb development. Very different expression to Calvarino.Vinified in Tonneaux and Botte.Pieropan have made a concerted effort to elevate La Rocca to new heights. Even tighter selection in the vineyard has seen typical volumes drop by 15%. In 2024 this has been further magnified by yields 20% down. The results in the glass are a delight. 100% Garganega La Rocca gets the full beans, aged in 500L barrels on lees with
Chardonnay from Macedon, Victoria
This is a very fine Kostas Rind, coming from the volcanic soils over clay on the lower Bindi Chardonnay plantings from 1988. Destemmed berries go into the press and the juice is taken straight from the tray into the barrels, around 25% of which are new small French oak. The fermentation occurs without yeast addition and the wine remains on all lees for ten months until just prior to bottling. This is the 35th harvest from these vines and the soils and plants are in excellent health, in particul
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
"The 2019er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese * was made from fruit harvested at 100° Oechsle and fermented down to sweet levels of residual sugar (81 g/l). It exhibits some smoky, minty, and ripe scents of pear, quince, almond cream, lavender, pineapple, and smoke on the nose. The wine reveals a more exotic and animating side on the delicate and subtly smooth palate, and leaves one with a feeling of presence and intensity, but all focused and chiseled in the long finish. 2026-2039."Jea
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
Riesling from Mosel, Mosel-Saar-Ruwer
Made primarily from Goldtröpchen fruit, with some grapes sourced from two more elevated vineyards, delicate playful fun dry Rizza, juicy with zippy acid. Hints of musk earthiness and a couple of savoury pops. This is very clever stuff. Nicely developed for an entry level wine it’s excellent. When you drink concentrate on the mouthfeel, the shape of the wine as it flows across your palate and clean finish.
Chardonnay from Picadilly Valley, Adelaide Hills
The build in intensity of this very complete wine is clear. Yes the acid is there, it has the depth and length to hold it. The mid-palate weight is exceptional and oak use (⅓ new) refined, layered and harmonious.Perfumed with white flowers, a little baking spice crème pat. Super citrus, white grapefruit and stunning intense lime.Tasting the 3 side by side as a great way to explore depth, length and shape of fruit.The separator from so many Chardonnays on the market is the texture,
Pinot Noir from Mornington, Victoria
Brooding with Sour Cherry and Dark Fruit. Kinda the child to Block 1 and Block 2 It's got some edgy tannin and extraction on one hand from the Pommard clone of Pinot. On the other it's got concentration and oppulence from the MV6 clone. Really want to see this wine in another 12-24 months.
Chardonnay from Mornington, Victoria
More of Everything! Depth + Length + Texture = More in Your Glass! There are 8 objective criteria I use to assess wine. This wine gets a big tick for all of them! Then there is a 9th objective criteria, Style or Overall Beauty. Think you'd be hard pressed to find a wine lover that could hold their hand on their heart and say this wasn't a beautiful wine.
