Jeanneret Bleasdale Champagne Bouché Père et Fils Zonte's Footstep Norfolk Rise Wine List

A casual 97 points from James Halliday! Oh, and four trophies and a 'stacks on' pile of golds and top gold medals. This is dense and complex, whilst also being taut and linear. Awesome now (post decanting), but will live for 20 years with careful cellaring, perhaps more. Red and black fruits here, with quality cedary spindles and exceptional length. Learn More

All about the red fruits and plum here, in a fluffy, lush, cuddly, generous and bubbly setting. There’s Christmas cakey spices and a hint of quince paste to boot. Lip smackingly delicious. Learn More

A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonay and Pinot Meunier, fashioned from vineyards in Epernay, Pierry, Chouilly and Barbonne. 10% is aged in oak and 10% of the finished wine is sourced from the Bouché Reserve wine program, which is held in oak. Lots of red fruit aromatics and flavours here, with excellent persistence and length and a very fine bead. Complex, aromatic and subtly oaked, this is a superb Champagne Rosé. Learn More

100% Chardonnay from the Premier Cru Pierry Village, the Grand Cru Chouilly Village and Barbonne. 10% oak aging and 30% reserve wine are employed in the creation of this intense and complex cuvée. Even the liquoring wine spends 18 months in oak. Lees ageing in bottle for a full 4 years prior to disgorgement. The is lemony, textural and powerful with granny smith apple, grapefruit, minerality, chalky notes and honey also along for the ride. Bead is fine, texture is mouth filling and the finish is long and profound. An exceptional Champagne. Learn More

A staggering 12 years on lees for this amazing Vintage Champagne, giving this wine exceptional depth of flavour and complexity. Fresh green apples, toasted and buttered brioche, grilled nuts and citrus. An exceptional Vintage Champagne produced primarily from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards and vintaged in 30% oak. Such was the quality of the fruit, this Champagne was able to be bottled with just 5g/l of residual sugar. Learn More

More textural than your usual Clare Valley Riesling, this 2023 release is bright and limey on the nose and the palate shows citrus flavours of lemon and lime joined by Bickford brown lime, apple and nectarine. It is powerfully packed with fruit and finishes with refreshing acidity. Learn More

When Riesling is this good it reminds us that Clare Riesling is truly world class. This has just picked up 96 points from Sam Kim who describes it beautifully, with the following words, 'This is precise and brilliantly detailed, showing lime sorbet, fresh fig and delicate floral notes on the nose, followed by a superbly concentrated palate offering excellent fruit purity and finesse. It’s wonderfully supported by elegant texture and lively acidity with a sustained, structured finish.' Learn More

From an exceptional high altitude (440m) vineyard, this is magnificent. Apple, talcum powder, and honeydew melon on both the nose and a palate which offers a perfect balance between acid drive and texture. Length is exceptional. Learn More

Unmistakably Cabernet on opening, this nonetheless grows in stature, fruit intensity and generosity as it breathes. Black tea, carob, cacao, blackcurrants, and violets emerge on the palate, and those aromatics become wonderfully complex, offering florals, and red and black fruits. So, no danger in cracking and enjoying a glass straight up, but you'll get even better results if you decant. Learn More

A delicious, crisp, cool climate SB from Mount Benson. Jalapeños, grassiness, and lemon juice here, along with a crisp texture and excellent acidity and length. Maybe a perfect seafood wine - oysters? Ceviche? Steamed white fish with lemongrass and shitake mushrooms. Delicious by itself as an aperitif too. Learn More

A beautifully zingy, crisp apply number. This is refreshing and at 11% relatively low in alcohol. Quite dry too and with good acidity giving it length. Importantly it is made from the Glera grapes grown on the Fleurieu Peninsula, the traditional grape of Italian Prosecco. Learn More

A premium red From Zonte’s off their own vineyard in the Adelaide Hills. Stacks of spice, pepper, black and blue fruits here. The nose is remarkably expressive, the pallet long and deep. You could argue that this is their best wine.
