  1. La Celia Uco Valley 'Bustos' Malbec 2023
    La Celia Uco Valley 'Bustos' Malbec 2023
    Eugenio Bustos was the founder of the winery and the first to put vines in the ground. He began the groundswell for what is considered today to be one of the great Malbec producing regions on the planet. While most of the focus is on Mendoza the cooler reaches of the Uco Valley plays beautifully into malbecs suave fruit profile lending a little more aromatic lift, fresh snap and vibrancy. For our money we see this relatively new region as a bit of hot-bed of great Argentinian malbec.

    We tried through a few levels of the wines from Bustos and this was easily the hit of the trio. Why? It was definitely about the freshness and energy of this cuvee. The others felt encumbered by either overripe clunky fruit or heavy-handed oak. This was the sweet spot of perfectly ripe, lush dark fruits and crisp tannins that melded perfectly together.

    On the nose its sweet blackberry compote fruit is so inviting while wafts of sweet and savoury spice like clove and age entice even more. Mid weight but not shy to show off a little with gobs of ripe blackberry, black currant and black plumb fruit and we think that's exactly what you want. Despite all that it feels nimble and at ease. Deftly handed oak and singing along.

  2. Delas Cote du Rhone Ventoux 2021
    Delas Cote du Rhone Ventoux 2021
    Delas Freres is a winery of tradition and renewal. Founded 160 years ago in the heart of the northern Côtes du Rhône, Delas wines are crafted by a panel of experts headed by winemaker Jacques Grange. Together, the team makes wines that have been heralded for their intensity of flavour and excellent value. Delas maintains a philosophy of preserving the authentic characteristics of each appellation through separate vinification of the fruit from each vineyard.

    The Ventoux form Delas is always in a slightly lighter fresher style. We feel like it often gets over looked but from year to year it offers up the same quality and drinking pleasure of Delas' other rhone bottlings. Here, a little more red cherry and currant fruit is to the fore with white & black pepper sprinkling that slowly fades giving way to more heady luxe spice in the glass. It tips past the mid-point into slightly more fuller then in some years but is plenty vibrant and fresh. Fine tannins support the supple and open fruits. Another winner!

  3. Paisley Wines Turntable GSM 2021
    Paisley Wines Turntable GSM 2021
    A purple-hued blend of grenache, shiraz and mataro that's super perfumed and packed with ripe plum, blueberry and cranberry fruit notes. Hints of jasmine and frangipani along with abundant spice, licorice, gingerbread, mocha, panforte and earth. Gentle, billowy tannins and bright acidity guide the plush, spicy blue and dark fruits to a medium-length finish. Vegan friendly. DAVE BROOKES, Halliday Wine Companion

  4. Fournier Freres Cidre Artisanal de Normandie Brut 750ml
    Fournier Freres Cidre Artisanal de Normandie Brut 750ml

    STAGE 4 - HILLY - DUNKERQUE > CALAIS 171.5 KM

    Silver medalist in 2009 and Gold Medal in 2010 and 2011 - Agricole de Paris competition.

    A blend of 100% Normandy cider apples, selected for their delicate flavours combining freshness and thirst-quenching, associated with slow fermentation. This is farm-to-table stuff here as the Fournier crew source apples only from their own oarchards.

    That earthy, Normandy cider nose with with wild foresty notes and a melange of red and green apple. A mellow, persistent bead in a round and mouthfilling style. Crunchy and crisp and on the drier side of cider. A bit of a chalky hit and little bit of grip but certainly on the easy and generous side of things. Serve chilled but not too cold to get the most out of it.

  5. P & A Vin de France Grenache Syrah 2021
    P & A Vin de France Grenache Syrah 2021
    The P & A wines are from our friend and Burgundy madman Nicolas Potel. These are the wines that epitomise the term vin-de-soif. These are absolutely gluggable, definitely chillable and straight-up delicious fair from the southern reached of France where Nicolas, via is network of winemaking legends sources fruit from top growers.

    This little beauty is crafted by Potel's partner in crime Stephane Aviron who brings his consdiderable talents to the table. there is an elegance and purity to the wine with underlying terroir drive that shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who tried Nicola or Stephane's wines.

    Wafts of raspberries, black plums and sweet spices lure you in. The core is a vibrant and buoyant mass of black and red berries, wrapped in an elegant framework. Subtle notes of rosemary come from a thoughtful use of whole bunch. This overdelivers hands down on its humble price point, no need to second guess here. GABRIELLE POY

  6. Kris Wines Pinot Grigio 2022
    Kris Wines Pinot Grigio 2022
    Kris is from the Delle Venezie, the historical term for the three regions of the Veneto, encompassing Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Veneto. Always on point the 2022 looks to be the best we have seen and that should prbobably come as no surprise given the team that craft it are from famed estate Franz Haas.

    White peach and crunchy apple and pear to the fore with a gently spiced, quartz/mineral nose. The palate is clean as a whistle with a core of sweet white fruits cut with bright, zippy acidity. At the same time the palate is generous with a lovely textural element that gives it nice weight and punch while always remaining bright and fresh. Another fantastic effort!

  7. Bodega Barrero Gabriela Manzanilla 375ml
    Bodega Barrero Gabriela Manzanilla 375ml
    I love Manzanilla, and I often drink it when I’m out and about… Salty, nutty, chamomile, sourdough bread before it hits the oven, a light honey and mint thing too, lemon zest and green olives. It’s dry and nutty, distinctly saline, fine chalky texture, green olive brine and pistachio, with a tangy, zesty and nutty finish of excellent length. It’s fresh and sharp, (as it should be), but also a little wild, and gee, it’s a very good expression of Manzanilla. The crunch on the finish seals it. Yes. (94) GARY WALSH

  8. Paisley Wines Boombox Shiraz 2021
    Paisley Wines Boombox Shiraz 2021

    If you’re old enough, you’d remember making mix tapes to give to friends or slip into the cassette player in your car, or whatever. My tape of choice, if I was feeling flush was a TDK SA-X (chrome), or even an MA-X (metal setting), and if poor, maybe a TDK AD or a lowly D.  All very nice. But thank heavens for Spotify.

    A big juicy dark hit of flavour here, along with raspberry juice, mint, a bit of earthy coal-like stuff, some chewy chalk-like grip, and a warm and generous finish of good length. Doesn’t seem to have much oak influence, just a riot of bouncy earthy Barossa fruit. Good fun. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

  9. Travers Bordeaux Blanc 2022
    Travers Bordeaux Blanc 2022

    STAGE 12  FLAT - AURILLAC > VILLENEUVE-SUR-LOT 203.6 KM

    It's flat again in Stage 12 but its a long one. After 203 k's we don't think a red is going to cut it so we picked up this little beauty to put in the pack. Absolutely classic stuff here with plenty of fruit and flesh but a real pep in its step. We have a feeling this one will be making its way into the store by the case-full cos its got everything you want without being too serious.

    70/15/15 blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle – Bordeaux’s three white grapes. Its floral citrus blossom, green melon, honeysuckle and tropical fruit aromas are followed up by herbal, grassy characters that add a touch of complexity.

  11. Alto Alto Rosso 2022
    Alto Alto Rosso 2022
    Mostly Sangiovese with 21% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% Merlot.

    Medium-bodied, pomegranate-themed juice but with depth and a vermouth tang, bitter herbs and some nice supple softness to it all, black cherry and bitter almond with a black olive twist. Chalky texture. Goodie. KASIA SOBIESIAK, The Wine Front

    This release of Alto! Alto!! is right in the zone of where we want it to be. Fruit, deliciousness, and aromatic intrigue balanced by structure and unravelling layers of savoury complexity. Also made by one of our great fiends and somm about town Liam O'Brien. Thanks for this delicious drop Liam!
     
    Bright purple/ruby. Medium weight, juicy, smashable palate, just the right amount of sour cherry and fine tannins. Sangiovese leads the way with red cherries and terracotta dust; Cab Sauv follows with blackcurrant, blackberry and a hint of cedar; Merlot fills out the finish with persistent fruit and an attractive tea leaf character.

  12. Domaine de Chatillon Jacquere 2020
    Domaine de Chatillon Jacquere 2020
    We were a bit chuffed to get this wine when trying it recently particularly given that you don't see a lot of jacquere wines out of Savoie at the price. The chateau is based in the Chatillon castle, a Roman watch tower built 70AD to signal the regiments along the Rhone River. It's pretty striking stuff in the hills there and the high-altitude vineyards lend a lovely racy edge to the wines.

    Light bodied and crisp with a clean, steely minerality and light floral blossom accents on top of waxy citrus and green apple fruit. On the palate it races through cutting with mandarin and lemon peel apple/pear flavours and plenty of energetic acidity that drives a clean, mineral finish spiked with qartz and white pepper. Great stuff!

  13. Yering Lane Pinot Noir 2023
    Yering Lane Pinot Noir 2023

    Located in the heart of the Yarra Valley in the sub region of Gruyere, Martingale is a first-generation family run vineyard. Focusing predominantly on Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah from their 40-acre property of which 20 acres is under vine.

    This new entry level Pinot is about as good as you'll see coming out of the Valley for this price. Generous and packed with varietal flavour, it has a great mouthfeel and bursts with juicy cherry, red plum and subtle spice. PWS

  14. In Praise of Shadows Sakura Rose 2024
    In Praise of Shadows Sakura Rose 2024

    67 % Grenache / 33% Sangiovese

    Sakura translates to Cherry Blossom, and this is a deliciously light to medium bodied style. Sangiovese offers some herbal and spicy notes through the lifted watermelon and strawberry palate. There is a flinty edge and perhaps pithiness akin to biting a ripe red delicious apple. Cool acidity balances nicely with the layers and texture from partial seasoned oak fermentation.
