Arnaud Mortet - the son of Denis Mortet, is without a doubt, one of the greatest growers in the Côte de Nuits. Arnaud is carrying his father’s legacy of producing refined, elegant and ageworthy Pinots that speak to their site with his wines being increasingly compared with those of his uncle - Charles Rousseau. Now having worked for 20 years as a winemaker for the estate, Arnaud is showing no signs of slowing down with his viticultural vigour and tasteful hand in the cellar.

We’ve recently picked up some of these wines from the excellent 2022 vintage. The ‘22 ‘Bourgogne Cuvee de Noble Souche Rouge’ is one of the greatest Bourgognes out there - coming from a single vineyard near Marsannay at 400m above sea level and sees 25% new oak. Very serious for a Bourgogne that could be aged if you wanted to. Then we have the ‘22 ‘Marsannay Les Longeroies’ which is one of the sites in Marsannay that is expected to be promoted to Premier Cru when Marsannay finally receives its dues. This one represents excellent value in the Mortet range, especially before the inevitable price hikes should it be promoted. The ‘22 ‘Gevrey-Chambertin Mes Cinq Terroirs’ is one of the most iconic Gevrey Village wines, comprised of 5 exceptional sites and sees 30% new oak. These are some of the most well-crafted wines in Burgundy, pick these up as we only have a tiny amount of each!

This Saturday from 3pm-6pm, we’ll be showcasing the iconic wines of Tyrrell’s from the Hunter Valley!

Tyrrell’s are one of the most important wineries in the history of Australian wine, tracing their roots in the region back to the mid 19th century and being responsible for pioneering what Jancis Robinson called “Australia’s gift to the wine world” - Hunter Valley Semillon.

Tyrrell’s expertise goes beyond just producing Australia’s most awarded white wine in Vat 1, but also produce exceptional Shiraz and Chardonnay. These are the wines we’ll be pouring on the day:

2018 Tyrrell’s Belford Semillon

2024 Tyrrell’s Estate Grown Chardonnay

2019 Tyrrell’s Vat 1 Semillon

2023 Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Chardonnay

2023 Tyrrell’s Estate Grown Shiraz

2023 Tyrrell’s Vat 9 Shiraz

Come down to the store this Saturday and taste through some of the most iconic wines in Australian history!

Although Montalcino traces its origins back to Etruscan times, this estate started in 1971 by Giovanni Neri - a 48 year-old grain merchant with a passion for wine. Passionate about wine, Neri had long dreamed of making a great Italian red, and although the long-established wine zone of Chianti Classico was just on his doorstep, it was remote Montalcino and its austere Sangiovese wines that fascinated him. The farm of Podere Casanova had caught his eye during his forays to the area as the aspect, altitude and soil composition showed the potential for making high-quality Brunello.

We’ve picked up some wines from the new release, including a couple bottles of the extremely rare top bottlings. The ‘20 ‘Brunello di Montalcino’ is an icon and great point of reference for the region, always producing a wine of immense complexity and ageability. We also have the ‘Tenuta Nuova’ in ‘17 and ‘20 vintages. This wine is a single-vineyard in which Sangiovese had never previously been planted (hence the name “new property”) after Giovanni Neri put a ridiculous amount of time and research into studying the local microclimates. Now for the extremely limited wines - we have 2 bottles of the ‘20 ‘Giovanni Neri’ named after the founder, this wine comes from an untamed vineyard of vines over 50 years old, spending 30 months in barrel and another 22 in bottle. This is a unique expression of Sangiovese that will age for decades. Finally, we have 2 bottles of the ‘19 ‘Cerretalto’ which is the pinnacle of the estate and one of the best wines in the region alongside Biondi-Santi and Soldera. The grapes for this wine hail mainly from a vineyard situated in a natural amphitheatre alongside a small river near their white truffle reserve. This wine is known for its concentration and ageability with notes of graphite and sanguine undertones. This spends 36 months in barrel and 24 in bottle. 2019 is also considered by many to be one of the greatest vintages of all time and the critic scores agree with just about everyone giving this 100 points. Truly a legendary wine. This is the perfect time of year to be picking up some top-notch Brunello - secure yours today!

Join us this Saturday 3pm-6pm as we taste through the excellent wines of Blood Moon. Blood Moon was established in 2014 by Matt Aulich - a former guitarist turned winemaker.

Matt sources fruit from responsible growers mostly in northern, western and southern Victoria and works with both French and Italian varieties. Matt makes wines with a sense of time and place in low volumes with a minimal-intervention approach in the cellar.

“minimal intervention, maximum love
conceived under a blood moon.”

These are the wines that we’ll be pouring on the day:

2024 Blood Moon Moonrise Fiano Vermentino

2024 Blood Moon Seeker Chardonnay

2023 Blood Moon Dream of a Dream Pinot Noir

2023 Blood Moon Sang Des Etoiles Sangiovese

2023 Blood Moon Autumn Moon Shivers Nero D’Avola

These are some exciting and affordable wines from some great sites in Victoria, come down to the store and check these out!

Jean Foillard is one of Beaujolais’ biggest legends, having learnt from Jules Chauvet as one of the original ‘Gang of Four’ alongside Marcel Lapierre, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Guy Breton. Jean and Agnès Foillard took over his father’s domaine in 1980 in Morgon and was quick to revamp the image of Beaujolais which was ridden with high-volume, mechanised commercial winemaking at the time which was quickly picked up by Kermit Lynch who then gave him the recognition he deserved.

We’ve just received Jean’s wines from the excellent 2023 vintage to share with you. We have the ‘23 ‘Morgon Corcelette’ as well as the ‘23 ‘Morgon Cote du Puy’ - same village from 2 different exceptional sites. These would be good to pick up and drink side by side. We also have the ‘23 ‘Fleurie’ which represents his efforts outside of his homeground in Morgon - also an excellent and thoughtful wine. Jean Foillard is without a doubt one the best winemakers, not just in Beaujolais, but in all of France. Pick up these wines and you’ll see for yourself!

Join us this Saturday 3pm-6pm as we taste through some of the store’s favourite vermouth - Saison Aperitifs.

Saison Aperitifs was founded by Dave Verheul in 2020 - a celebrated chef (Embla in Melbourne) and lover of bitter drinks with the notion that vermouth and amaro could be brighter, fresher, more singular in flavour. The name Saison stems from the fact that they aim to capture their favourite seasonal moments in the bottle.

Every aperitif they make starts with a core ingredient that is picked at its peak with seasonal notes added to enhance the expression, not to obscure or mask anything. They source wild foraged herbs, fruit and flowers from small-scale growers and multiple Australian varieties of the required herb wormwood which they know how to get the best out of with decades of kitchen experience.

This is what we’ll be pouring on the day:

Saison Red Vermouth

2025 Saison White Flowers Vermouth

2024 Saison Spring Rhubarb Vermouth

2024 Saison Fallen Quinces Vermouth

2025 Saison Black Walnut Vermouth

Saison Artichoke Vin Amaro

These are some of the most exciting vermouths in the country - come down to the store this weekend to see what all the fuss is about!

The Standish have without a doubt cemented themselves as one of (if not, the greatest) producer of Shiraz in the country whose wines could outperform Australia’s so-called “flagship” wines: Grange and Hill of Grace for less than 20% of the price. Dan Standish started this winery in 1999 as a sixth generation Barossan while he was still working for Torbreck and wanted to dedicate it entirely to Shiraz. Dan bought a parcel of land from his family on which he had first learned to prune vines by his grandfather at just 6 years old, which is now the source for “The Relic”, and has since purchased a few other plots of land that he believes are significant and unique.

There are 4 key wines here in The Standish portfolio, all sourced from different vineyards but made in a similar way and therefore speak to their respective terroir. First is the self-titled wine, sourced from the Laycock family vineyard in Greenock which is often thought to be a great introduction to Dan’s range of wines. We have this in both the ‘22 and ‘23 vintages. Next is the ‘23 and ‘22 ‘The Relic’ which is a Northern-Rhone style blend of 99% Shiraz and 1% Viognier sourced from the Hongell family vineyard in Krondorf. The Viognier adds a pristine aromatic lift and suppleness to the wine, even with only 1% in the final cuvee that makes this wine the most perfumed and sensual out of the range. Then we have the ‘23 and ‘22 ‘The Schubert Theorem’ sourced from the famous Roennfeldt Rd in Marananga. This is the only wine to be aged in concrete egg which helps to retain a purity of fruit and chewy, chalky tannins. Finally, we have the ‘23 ‘Lamella’ which is sourced from Hutton Vale Farm in Eden Valley. All of these wines can age gracefully over the next 2 decades or can be drunk earlier with a generous decant. Stock up on these before more rave reviews come out and we sell them all!

We have a few bottles of the cultish producer from Jura - Nicolas Jacob. Nicolas was a long time understudy to Ganevat - an icon in the region and has been able to put his experience to good use with these small-production wines that have become increasingly popular and scarce in the last couple of years. Check out the link in our bio to secure your share!

Borgogno is one of the oldest and most iconic producers in Barolo dating as far back as 1761. They boast the most extensive Riserva cellaring program in all of Barolo, holding back many vintages at the estate for future release and to paint a larger picture of Borgogno’s work and progress. There is perhaps no better representative of the region of Barolo than Borgogno, from their traditional winemaking, sustainable farming, extensive cellaring program and the quality of their holdings.

After tasting through these wines a couple of weeks ago, we picked up some of these sensational wines. The ‘22 ‘No Name’ is a classic Langhe Nebbiolo that punches well above its weight. The ‘18 ‘Barolo Fossati’ comes from slightly sandy soils of calcareous and clayey marl with SE exposure and macerates for 40 days on skins before spending 4 years in Slavonian oak casks and more time in bottle. This wine was the most fresh, pure, fruit-forward and alpine in character. This is the most suitable for earlier drinking but will still improve with time. Definitely their most underrated Cru. The ‘18 ‘Barolo Liste’ vineyard faces S-SE with soils of calcareous and clay marl, rich in sedimentary clay. This macerates for 40-60 days and undergoes the same ageing treatment as the Fossati. This was my personal favourite of the line up. Ridiculously complex with all those classic Nebbiolo notes, fresh acid and a structured, but surprisingly smooth tannin profile. This is almost a Borgogno monopole as well as they own about 80% of the site with only one other producer owning the rest. Finally, the ‘18 ‘Cannubi’ is of course a masterpiece - Cannubi being one of the greatest sites in Barolo. This site is south-facing with soils of calcareous and clay marl and slightly sandy. Maceration is 40-50 days with the same ageing as the other two wines. It is said that Cannubi is the most balanced of all the Barolo crus and after tasting this, it is easy to see why. Nothing sticks out or seems out of place here - just a perfect combination of red fruits, herbs, flowers, earth and grippy but not austere tannins. Everything in its right place.
