Feinherb

While there is no strict definition, nor is it legally defined within German wine law, many growers use Feinherb to indicate quality wines that are off-dry. Today it is commonly used in place of the less popular designation ‘halbtrocken’.

Feinherb is a traditional German term that indicates quality. It has been permitted on German wine labels since 2000 but is actually part of an older set of terms used to describe the sweetness and quality of German Rieslings. While there is no strict definition, nor is it legally defined within German wine law, many growers use it for quality wines that are off-dry. Feinherb is often used in place of the less popular traditional designation ‘halbtrocken’, as well as for wines that are slightly sweeter than regulations dictate for halbtrocken wines.

Paolo Scavino Barolo 'Bricco Ambrogio' MAGNUM 2021

Nebbiolo from La Morra, Barolo

Paolo Scavino Barolo ‘Bricco Ambrogio’ MAGNUM 2021

The 2021 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is classy and polished to the core. This wine has come such a long way since its debut. Enrico Scavino really believed in this site when he purchased it a little more than 20 years ago. The 2021 is a fine testament to his vision. Lavender, sage, menthol and licorice lead into a core of dark-toned fruit in a Barolo that is deep yet also light on its feet. This is impeccably done, not to mention very tasty.

Wow! Exceptional drinking. Beautifully weighted incredible mid-palate depth of flavour. Intensity and delicacy, now there's a trick. So fine long. Beautifully developed.

Domaine Henri Germain Meursault 'Les Chevalières' 2023

Chardonnay from Meursault, Côte du Beaune

Domaine Henri Germain Meursault ‘Les Chevalières’ 2023

The 2023 Meursault Les Chevalières wafts from the glass with notes of buttery citrus fruit, white flowers, green apple and hazelnuts, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and saline palate that's bright and mineral. The racy style of this site works well with the inherent generosity of the vintage. William Kelly, The Wine Advocate 90-92 PointsThe 2023 Meursault Les Chevalières (not Premier Cru as I mistakenly wrote last year!) has a very cohesive bouquet with light white flower

Dhillon by Bindi Glenhope Chardonnay 2025

Chardonnay from Macedon, Victoria

Dhillon by Bindi Glenhope Chardonnay 2025

This project from the granite soils in the northern end of the Macedon Ranges at 460m above sea level is an exciting addition to our activities. The vineyard was established in 1995 and the fruit has ostensibly been “lost” interstate until new Victorian owners took over in spring 2021. This fragrant, stoney, gently spicy Chardonnay has delicious, subtle fruit complexity of lemon, mandarin and yellow plum. It is, of course, youthful and vigorous, with creamy texturtal mouthfeel that builds po
