Grosset Springvale Riesling
$69.99
In the early 1980s, Jeffrey embarked on his winemaking journey in Clare Valley, South Australia, but not in the conventional way. While others followed established paths, Jeffrey chose experimentation and innovation, guided by that foundational principle: it starts with place. His unconventional approach meant questioning everything, from vineyard practices to the smallest details of winemaking. Today these wines are regarded as some of the finest examples of the riesling grape on the planet.
Niepoort Natcool Dourado
$48.99
Dirk Niepoort's NAT'Cool! range of wines were created to meet certain criteria : be made as naturally as possible, be low alcohol, be terroir-driven, use native grapes to the region, be affordable, and be so smashable that it's only sold in 1L bottles. Dourado is their brand new and inaugural NAT'Cool orange wine, a white blend from a schistous vineyard in the Provesende area. After 10 days skin contact and native ferment in granite lagares, this finished ferment in cement where it remained on fine lees over 1 year. It then settled in stainless for 2 months, and was bottled with light filtration. Pouring a light golden hue, this light, bright wine streams elderflower, tangerine, subtle honeysuckle, white pepper along the buoyant palate, with a lingering fine stony, saline buzz. Quite charming, and a lovely addition to the strong NAT'Cool portfolio.
Proprieta Sperino Rose
$42.99

Usseglio Rose

JL Denois Brut Rose
$34.99
Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees in Southwest France is the coolest climate and highest elevation appellation in the Languedoc: Limoux. There, outside the lofty Medieval village of Roquetaillade, lives Limoux's most famous vigneron, Jean-Louis Denois, the gentleman responsible for bringing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to this ideal terroir in the 80’s. His eponymous domaine, founded after he sold his first Limoux project Domaine de l’Aigle to Gerard Bertrand twenty years back, includes 15 hectares of vines at 400-500 meters above sea level on limestone and clay soils. Denois quickly rose to prominence in France for offering incredible bubbles at incredible prices. His crémants used the finest techniques and clones of Champagne without the same price tag, earning the regard of leading Champagne experts like Jancis Robinson who deemed the wines “a little fruitier, more opulent, and less obviously lees-aged than the best champagnes but infinitely better than cheap champagne” by the turn of the millennium. The wines have only continued on their path to terroir singularity and deliciousness over these last twenty years.

Chateau de Beaucastel
$101.99
Always highly anticipated and highly rated, and 93 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2013 vintage: "The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape is a beauty and has a rare level of concentration and depth in the vintage. Blueberry, crushed flowers, pepper, and violet aromas and flavors flow nicely to a medium to full-bodied, structured and tannic Beaucastel that has impressive purity and plenty of length. It’s not massive, but still needs 4-5 years of cellaring and will keep for a decade after that."
