Coulter Wines is the project of South Australian winemaker Dave Coulter, who cut his teeth in some of the country’s leading cellars before launching his own small-batch label. Based on a minimal-intervention philosophy, the focus is on purity, precision and varietal clarity, with all fruit sourced from carefully chosen, sustainably farmed vineyards—primarily in the Adelaide Hills.

Fresh, vibrant and quietly sophisticated, opens with lifted aromas of wild strawberries, blood orange and a whisper of rosewater. The palate is crisp and finely textured, showing bright red berry fruit, white peach and subtle citrus zest carried by a refreshing line of acidity. There’s a lovely purity to the fruit—clean, energetic and dry—balanced by a soft, talc-like finish that makes the wine exceptionally drinkable. A pitch-perfect modern Australian rosé.

I forget what Franco said on his little back label spiel, as I’ve given the bottle away, though it was something along the lines of ‘High acidity from this site, so no need for adds’.

It’s a bit spicy and mulchy, poached strawberry and raspberry, a little mint and floral perfume. It’s crisp, sappy, lively, a smudgy feel to tannin, slightly smoky and tobacco-laced, with a juicy finish of good length, gentle dusty tannin trailing. Nice.. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

Cooler and drier than their Hoddles Creek vineyards, this Yea Valley pinot is the most reticent and fine-boned of this year's three Wickhams pinots. A light, bright red, this has scents of redcurrants, a little strawberry and blood orange. The palate is compact and very nicely balanced, with gently grippy tannins suggesting that this will need another six to 12 months to unfurl and grow into itself.

French pinot noir from outside of Burgundy, alas ‘Vin de France’ on the label. P & A, a partnership between friends, a Burgundian vigneron (Nicolas Potel) & Beaujolais producer Stephane Aviron.

Black cherry, freshly turned earth and ripe raspberry compote. It's alluring and yet subdued. Delicate spice flavours of clove and coconut add savoury complexity. Nicely priced French pinot that achieves more than its price point, what's not to love? KAYLEEN, pws

SPECIAL VALUE - A blend of fruit from the home block at Wonga Park and two different sites in Gladysdale. A light, bright crimson. Composed, with aromas of lightly poached red fruits, rose petals and delicate spice. The light- to medium-bodied palate is finely tuned. Finishes with silky smooth tannins that you barely notice. Not a blockbuster. Very nicely done. PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion

Whole bunch fermenting, extended maceration, lots of punching down – Stuart Dudine, winemakers, says “I like to layer in as much interest as possible into pinot noir, sometimes you have to call a spade a spade, and push things and get good flavours and ripe tannin into the wine, especially with cooler years and upper Yarra fruit the majority of the wine”.

Pale garnet colour. Crisp, bright, cherry and cranberry juicy, lightweight with good layers of peppery and brown spices. Snappy texture, a crunch through the finish, enough flavour yet stacks of freshness. Rose hip tea elements. Easy drinking and super lovely overall. MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front

We must admit we didn't know much about Kellybrook Estate when trying through the wines but we were certainly impressed. Effortlesly enjoyable but marked but some subtle complexity and moving past the simple and fruity style you may expect at this level, which made for a very pleasant surprise. Still a family ownder winery and one of the first in the Yarra to have a cellar door. Good gear.

Xavier Goodridge is part of the new wave of progressive, low-intervention winemakers in Australia, known for crafting pure, vibrant, and honest wines. Based in Victoria, Xavier previously worked alongside Patrick Sullivan, a leading figure in the modern Australian wine movement and one of Gippsland's burgeoning wine scene's ambassador. Xavier has developed a similarly thoughtful and sustainable approach to farming and winemaking and you can see that in the purity and expressive nature of all his wines.

Xavier's philosophy is built around organic and biodynamic viticulture, focusing on minimal inputs in both vineyard and winery. He believes that great wine is made in the vineyard, not manipulated in the cellar. The result? Wines that are alive, expressive, and transparent to place.

The Pa Pa Pinot Noir is one of Xavier's signature wines and a brilliant reflection of his hands-off, terroir-driven style from Gippsland. The fruit is Handpicked , fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts and partial whole bunch fermentation to bring perfume and spice. This has wonderful aromatic intensity flowing from the glass with heady perfume and a wonderful floral note. It's juicy, showing off a lively core of red cherries, cranberries, and wild strawberries, with hints of savoury spice, dried herbs, and a subtle earthiness underneath. It's on the light side of medium-bodied, incredibly bright and energetic, but with enough depth to keep it interesting. The tannins are soft and silky, and the finish is lifted and refreshing. This is a seriously drinkable Pinot Noir - joyful, pure, and super expressive.

Comprising 70% Pinot Noir, 20% Malbec and 10% Syrah, this rosé shows a delicate, pale pink hue—light, transparent and inviting. The nose is restrained in the best way, offering subtle Pinot Noir aromatics that flow seamlessly onto the palate. Syrah and Malbec add gentle fragrance, a touch of structure and a whisper of savoury firmness, giving the wine shape without compromising its finesse.

Stylistically, it sits closer to a dry, non-floral white—clean, refreshing and superbly drinkable. It ticks every box for summer: a perfect lunch-table rosé or an effortless aperitif alongside simple canapés.

The Pinot Noir and Syrah components were made from free-run juice with no skin contact, while the Malbec saw one day on skins before a light press, contributing just the right amount of colour and texture.

I know we have said it before but honestly, how do the McIntyres do this wine for this kind of money? It always impresses and considering this is all hand-harvested, wild yeast fermented, and spends time in top-notch French oak you just have to smile with a glass in front of you.

There is always a generosity here and 2024 has embraced that vibe  but added a little sappy detail to elevate the stakes a little more.. A touch of wild cherry and raspberry fruit, that amaro and citrus twang you often see and a sprinkle of sweet spice and whole black pepper that entices you in. It's plump through the middle with succulent fruit that zips along a fine line of tannins that bind all the fruit together beautifully.

It's soft and supple with plenty of Joie-de-vie while delivering a serious edge that most producers in the Mornigton must be pretty jealous about.

About 50% whole bunches and 50% new French barriques. Bright crimson. A little more complex than the also very good 2022, which is on release too. Red fruits and rose petals together with a touch of reduction, which adds to the wine, giving it sapidity. Savoury and structured and with lots of energy. Needs time and food. An excellent showing. (95) PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Company

Sourced from four single vineyards in Geelong, two in the Moorabool Valley (Hillside Haven & Springbank) and two from the Bellarine (Hat Rock & Suma Park)

Each parcel was treated the same; wild yeast fermented with around 50% whole bunches. The wine was then matured for 10 months in 35% new French oak barriques. Malolactic conversion finished in spring with only minimal sulfur additions.

This is a Pinot that attracts first with its aroma of mushroom, and earth, enticing with some exotic dark cherry, wet leaves and a hint of jasmine. Following the scent, there is the anticipation of taste, and if you have chosen well, expect some flavours of dark cherry with undercurrents of earth and spice. Texture-wise, this Pinot has a smooth and silky mouthfeel. Flavour, body, and finish built to drink on release or age.

Trophy Winner - Best Sparkling of Show
Double Gold Medal Winner

Notes on previous release
52.7/47.3% pinot noir/chardonnay. Approximately five years on lees and disgorged with 6.5 g/L dosage. A bright straw green. This is very fine on the nose with delicate aromas of apples, white peaches, freshly poached red fruits, brioche and a little hazelnut. The palate is equally refined, and this builds nicely with its gentle creaminess and fine bead before finishing taut and long. A refined Aussie sparkling. (95) PHILLIP RICH

This is a step up from the 2023 release and is pretty handy value. It features lots of leaf matter and twiggy herb/spice notes but then the fruit is confident, smoky, succulent and well sustained. There's a prettiness to this, and a meatiness, and a rush of rose petal-like characters, in there among the cherries. Tannin is al dente and sheeted. I'd buy/drink this again. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, winefront.com

This is a tip-top offering - not too much of anything, just a balance of cherry fruit and pips, chinotto, wood spices and woodsmoke, a little autumnal too. Lovely perfume. Mid-weighted at best, the tannins supple, the acidity cleansing, and there's good texture. A nice intro to the pinot world, according to Bill. JANE FAULKNER, winecompanion.com

SPECIAL VALUE. A four-vineyard, six-clone blend; 20% wholes bunches, 15% new oak. A bright crimson red. A lifted bouquet redolent of summer red fruits, poached rhubarb, rose bush and white pepper. The energetic palate is light to medium bodied with the wine's fine-grained tannins and bright acidity making for a delicious and refreshing mouthful. Good, nay, great now and over the next 3–4 years. (95) PHILIP RICH, Wine Companion

Gosh this is an attractive wine. So many violets and indeed so redolent generally of a garden in bloom. Blue and red berried fruit flavours come melted with potpourri, sweet spice, leaf matter and twigs. Fruit and florals are the drivers but then the extras are tucked within. Mint and blood orange characters are here too, along with a decent crack of tannin. This is obviously meant to be consumed in its youth but even so, a quick double-decant does it a world of good. There’s fabulous drinking to be had here. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, Wine Front

Notes on previous vintage
Deep, bright red with a good tint of purple, the bouquet starts with smoky/meaty charcuterie reductive characters, rich ripe black cherry underneath; the palate full and rich with good concentration, extract and persuasive tannins that supply an excellent backbone of structure. A powerful pinot noir with real presence and persistence. Remarkable wine that punches well above its price level. HUON HOOKE

The in-built complexity is noteworthy here. It’s unforced but there’s lots going on. Undergrowth, twigs, herbs, smoked meats and a combination of red cherry, black cherry and boysenberry. It’s varietal and it’s lovely all round. There’s a gently sinewy aspect to the tannin too; spicy, smoky, sinews. CAMPBELL MATTINSON

A pure, unbridled expression of Central Otago Pinot Noir — vibrant, structured, and deeply rooted in place.

This wine comes from the Muirkirk Vineyard on Felton Road, in the heart of Bannockburn. The site is a patchwork of wind-blown loess, silty clay, and dense clay-loam over layers of schist and quartz gravels — a classic Bannockburn soil profile that offers both power and precision. These soils lend natural concentration, fine tannin structure, and a deep sense of minerality to the wine.

Hand-picked Clone 5 Pinot Noir was wild fermented with 30% whole bunch. Ferments were gently worked — pumped over and only lightly plunged — to preserve finesse and avoid over-extraction. After 30 days on skins, the wine was pressed and matured in French oak barrels (10% new) to add subtle depth without overshadowing the vineyard character.

Bright, energetic and focused, with silky tannins and a long, mineral finish. A wine that speaks clearly of Bannockburn and the soils of Muirkirk.
