Chalari Chenin Blanc Pet Nat 2023

Organically grown vineyard in the Swan Valley, these are epic 70 year old vines on sandy/clay soil. Alex Cook has been growing here for over 50 years. The wine is lip-smacklingly dry, notes of apple, lime juice and a touch of tropical green melon that's balanced beautifully with a chalky texture, subtle saline and the natural acids from both bubbles and fruit.

Chalari Shiraz Tempranillo 2022

New-school cool meets old school sensibilities, Chalari can do it all. They focus on classic varieties but made with a fresh eye. Their Shiraz Tempranillo from the Great Southern Western Australia reminds us of a great Rioja, with luscious spice from oak ageing, wrapped around dense forest berry and charred red pepper, a generous finish for a terrific price.

Deep Woods Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2023

"Let's cut to the chase. The finest Deep Woods chardonnay yet. It has it all. Great fruit has been harnessed with whole bunch pressing and fermentation in new and seasoned French oak. Further lees stirring has built in texture, contributing to a thoroughly beautiful, refined mouth feel. Opens with a stone fruit and savoury light lemon curd aromas. Peels off into a palate that reveals more of a struck match and cracked seashell minerality complementing the outstanding fruit concentration. Super … more

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Mourvedre 2021

Vibrant, translucent ruby in colour. The nose has notes of rose petals, musk and lavender with cranberry, redcurrant, morello cherry, pastrami, sweet spices and terracotta. Though complex, the nose presents as pretty and compact with underlying stoniness, which precisely mimics the first impression in the mouth. There's small red-berry brightness to the medium-bodied palate, and gradually those charcuterie and dry-earth notes emerge with iodine and graphite. Musky, petally perfumes waft over terracotta on a pin-point finish with powdery tannins. An … more

Frankland Estate Shiraz 2022

"This is a shiraz of genuine appeal. The mid palate is sweet and ripe but there's a lot flying about the edges. Redcurrant and raspberry meets graphite, black pepper, clove and woodsmoke. It's soft and accessible in general but the finish is curled with just-enough tannin to give it shape and class. Very nice. Very good" Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front

Juniper Estate Canvas Fiano 2023

Winery Notes - "Pale straw in colour showing intriguing aromas of Mirabelle plum, apple blossom & lime leaf with savoury notes of almond skin & floral spice. The palate nods to its Italian heritage with moreish saline acidity and generous weight and texture. Tangy lime, roasted hazelnut & a hint of sea spray complete the vibrant, textural experience. Try it with Kingfish Ceviche or Risi al pinoli (lemon & pine nut rice with roast capsicum)."
