2019 Vegan Wine List

A wonderful Grenache with a little age. New school bright fruit and exceptionally deftly placed tannins meet high-quality, old-school oak. Ned Goodwin from the Halliday Wine Companion wrote a year ago ‘too much mocha-vanilla-infused oak enshrouding this, the fruit and structural latticework beyond it is sublime, auguring well for future change... Raspberry bon-bon, thyme, orange zest and lavender. The acidity, juicy and palpably natural. The grape tannins, lithe and etched with grace... I score this with the promise to which I hold it.’ A year later and this wine’s time has arrived, it is a ripper! Learn More

Only 1300 bottles were made of this single vineyard, estate Grown Cab- a product of the best fruit Dowie Doole grew in the 2019 vintage. It is the best wine we've ever tasted from DD! This is varietal, rich, smooth, powerful and has complexities which are just beginning to emerge and which will become more obvious with time. Choc mint- plums, violets and cedary oak all on the go here. A high-end Cab which is both powerful and elegant and still clearly retains an unmistakable varietal stamp. That's pretty difficult to pull off, and DD have done it with aplomb. Learn More

A huge wine made from top quality fruit aged in spicy French oak. The result is full throttle Shiraz elegantly bridled by fine tannins and spice, which together season black fruits, cherries and plums. Drink now or any time over the next coupl’a decades. Learn More

A standout from the Kilikanoon stable. From Kim Brebach, who gave it 96 points. ‘The fruit is gorgeous, rich and generous, the wine is big but soft and seductive, and the oak handling exemplary. The texture is velvet, the balance is perfect.’ A stunner which you can drink now, or age for up to another dozen years or so. Learn More

Yet another incredible Reserve Riesling sourced from 2 blocks grown by the legendary Koerner family. There’s white flowers, lime and citrus on both the nose and palate, green and custard apple, butter and lime on what is an extraordinarily long palate. A Stunner. Learn More

Yet another incredible Reserve Riesling sourced from a small section of the revered Zander Quarry block situated 450m above sea level in the Eden Valley. The nose offers concentrated lime and a little lavender, the palate bringing limes, florals and a hint of musk. A compelling and complete Riesling. Learn More
