Greenock Creek High Ridge Cabernet
$44.99
Thrust into the international wine spotlight thanks to an unmatched eight perfect 100-point scores from the world’s leading wine publication, The Wine Advocate, Greenock Creek remains the proud standard-bearer for long-lived Barossa Valley red wines of deep colour, abundant flavour and great structure.
Their vineyards are situated in the sub-regions of Seppeltsfield, Marananga and Moppa located along the Barossa Valley’s western edge and are some of the oldest vines in the world. Thin, sandy loam topsoils lie sparsely scattered over ancient deposits of bluestone, marble stone, limestone, quartz and ironstone. Rainfall is limited, often to less than 400 millimetres a year falling through winter and early spring. Subsurface clay retains valuable moisture, sustaining the vines through the long, warm and dry summers and autumns. The perfect, low-disease-pressure conditions in which to grow small, healthy bunches of compact, flavour-packed berries.
El Enemigo Bonarda
$37.99
El Enemigo is a winery co-owned by Adrianna Catena and Alejandro Vigil, both of Catena Zapata fame. The winemaker calls 2018 "El Año Mendocino", the Mendoza Year. After a small cool vintage in 2017, which we call “El Año Bordelés” (the Bordeaux Year) and a small, very cool and rainy year in 2016 “El Año Bourguignon” (the Burgundian year), they finally got a vintage that is classically Mendozan: dry, cool, sunny and with moderate yields in every region from the lowest to the highest altitudes.

A legendary pink Champagne from a legendary producer!
Dubois Cocottes Fleurie
$47.99
A Classic Beaujolais for Autumn!
Anne-Sophie Dubois is a young dynamic winemaker situated in the cru of Fleurie, Beaujolais. Her family moved from Champagne, where they were previously winemakers, to Beaujolais in 1992 and purchased a Domain. At 23 years old, Anne Sophie took over the Domaine in 2006. Since then, she has converted all her vineyards to organic and is currently 2 years away from getting her vineyards certified organic. In the cellar, she works with a minimal intervention approach. She uses a gravity-fed system with no chemicals other than a small addition of sulphur before bottling. She ages all of her wine in oak, stating:
“I am very attached to the ageing of my wines in barrel, but not to bring a woody taste. I love this material. The wood is natural, the wine breathes through it, it comes out clear and open.”
She also happens to be an artist, the beautiful labels are hers as well.
Dujac Morey St Dennis 1er Cru
$369.99
Jacques Seysses started Domaine Dujac in 1968. He was not born in Burgundy, but winemaking is his true vocation. His love for wine comes from his father, a gourmet with a passion for fine wines. Even as a young boy, Jacques would meet the greatest winegrowers of the time in the company of his father. From only 5 hectares in 1968, the estate gradually expanded to 11 hectares in 1977, and then reached 15.5 hectares in 2005. Over the years, the estate has expanded beyond the historic site of Morey-Saint-Denis. In 2014, with the acquisition of leased vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet (the Premier Crus Folatières and Combettes), the Domaine produces wines in both Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. They are now among the most sought-after and collectable wines in Burgundy, although priced considerably less than the top wines.
Pittis Rose
$27.99
One of the stars of Austria's winemaking scene, Gerhard Pittnauer makes modern, powerful reds that showcase the quality of Austria’s indigenous grape varieties. He's located in Burgenland, famous for the amount of sun it gets every year, and all of vines are farmed biodynamically. All wild ferments, unfined and unfiltered — one of the most interesting rosés you'll ever try (and one for the serious wine geeks in the crowd.) Serve chilled and enjoy, but don't waste time as it won't last long.
Jaboulet Ermitage Rouge
$112.99
Grown on 1.3 hectares of vineyard, this very concentrated 100% Syrah showcases what the grape and the producers are capable of. It is vinified and aged in oak barrels for two years before bottlings. Ermitage is the original spelling of the appellation, a steep hill that is home to numerous parcels, typically on terraces. This wine is sourced from 40-year-old vines in the “Les Dionnières” lieu-dit (about 1ha). It is made entirely from estate-grown grapes, like all the wines produced by the estate. It offers a basket of complex flavours that include leather, coffee, blackcurrants, vanilla and minerals. It's drinking well now and will continue to improve for another 5 years or more.
Philippe and Vincent Jaboulet are a father & son duo that also happen to be 5th and 6th generation winemakers with a focus on Northern Rhone. They set up their own vineyards in 2006 following the sale of their family negociant business Domaine Jaboulet Aine in 2006.
