Cinco Sentidos Madrecuixe
$154.99
The Mezcalero behind this expression is "Eleuterio “TÍO Tello” Perez Ramos, "a second-generation mezcal producer on his father’s side and at least a fourth-generation producer on his mother’s side, which is believed to have been distilling mezcal in El Nanche, Oaxaca, since at least the mid-1850s. Tio Tello’s mezcales demonstrate his demanding standards for the use of ripe “quiotudo” agave, and he employs unique distillation cuts that expertly balance the acidity of “xixe” (tails) with bold roasted agave of the hearts." (from the producers' site)
Black Tot Master Blenders Reserve 2022
$178.99
From The Producer
"Black Tot Day 2022 marks the third iteration of our annual Master Blender’s Reserve, an ever-evolving perpetual blend crafted by our Master Blender, Oliver Chilton.
For this year’s blend, we drew inspiration from historical rums in our collection and the unique flavour profiles they exhibited over half a century ago. These rums, since lost in the rum world, were rich with notes of baked banana, dusty chocolate, mocha milkshakes, honey, tobacco, leather, liquorice, and spice. These flavours were mapped out and became our guide."
Greenock Creek Jaensch Block
$72.99
This inaugral release of Jaensch Block Shiraz is sourced from the Moppa vineyard and offers a big blast of cherry and kirsch fruit with hints of charcuterie and campfire. It's big, juicy profile means it's drinkable now but it will improve for another decade or so. Their website indicates it's a good match with roo, as in kangaroo, but they are hard to find and even harder to catch so we recommend grilled pork, barbequed chicken, or spicy ribs.
Greenock Creek Third Estate Shiraz
$87.99
Moppa's Westlake vineyards, at the northern tip of the Barossa, are often refrred to as the third estate as they encompasses elements of three of Greenock's key sites. Made from the Hill Block vineyard that sits just above Jaensch, it's remenicent of a chocolate covered cherry with a big vanilla component from a combination of new American (50%) and French oak barrels. Tempting to drink now for its oppulent fruit blast, it will age for up to 20 years if you happen to possess that sort of patience.
Rockford Rod & Spur
$73.99
Another Rockford knock-out wine! The blend is 55-45 with Shiraz at the forefront, but the Cabernet imparts a dusty, minty note with a lingering finish, buffered by plenty of ripe cherry flavours from the Shiraz. Like all of the Rockford wines, there's a delicacy to the style, with no excessive extraction, alcohol or harsh tannins. Drink: 2021 - 2034
