We only got 96 bottles sadly, but then only 500 were made so I guess we should consider ourselves lucky! From a tiny. 100 yo vineyard, cool ferment, foot stomped into old French oak for just over a year. Satsuma plum fruits with raspberry and Chinese 5 spice, licorice, ginger, and more. Learn More

Expressive, grounded, powerful, playful. This is an exceptional Pinot Noir sourced from a single vineyard in Charleston. Red and purple aromatics lead to a powerful yet aquiline palate offering roses, cherries, violets, spice, must and toastiness. The palate is long and the tannin finish fine. The acidity elevates the fruit. Exceptional. Learn More

A stunning Aussie Touriga here, sourced from Heirloom finest vineyard. Has picked up a gold at the Adelaide Show, to go with its Trophy from Sydney. Lots of whole bunch here, to emphasise fragrance and vivacity of fruit and a relatively short 7 month maturation in 20% new French oak. Mulberry, fennel, cinnamon, liquorice, herbs and more all on the go here in what is a big brooding wine that somehow also manages to be fresh and vibrant. Learn More

A very expressive nose, offering purple Pinot perfume and pristine red fruit aromatics, along with spice. The palate is big by Pinot standards, laden with strawberries, savories, spice, salinity and beetroot. Sensational value. Learn More

This is Hirsch Hill's flagship Chardonnay, estate grown in the Toolangi sub-region of the Yarra Valley. A cracking Chardy offering florals, green apple, spice, hazelnut, stonefruit and more. Plenty of acid here, a creamy palate and judicious use of French oak make this an almost complete expression of cool climate Chardonnay. The only thing that can make it better is time. Decant before drinking or cellar.

A good Pinot reveals itself before you've got your month anywhere near the glass. This be one of those - aromatics eschewing the confines of fired silica entrapment to search out your olfactories with their irresistible siren song woven from sour cherries, fresh red flowers, spice and truffles. You won't rush to taste this one but when you do, its perfect, mid-weight and red fruited palate will bring a second wave of pleasure. This is fresh, satin-like in texture, and offers a perfectly modulated blend of fine tannins and French oak char to finish. Exquisite.

Aussie Merlot doesn’t get more complex or highly awarded than Irvine’s Grand Merlot, twice recipient of the best Merlot in the world award. Recent releases are even better structured and livelier thank the oldies, and we are confident the 2018 will improve for 10 years plus. The 2018 exceeds the power and complexity of the 2017 vintage, adding a rich sheen of plum and fig to the mix of violet, blueberry, dark chocolate and five spice. Excellent acidity and plenty of fine French oak here too. Decant for several hours before drinking. Learn More
