We were disappointed to learn that there will be no 2023 Sorrenberg Chardonnay offered to market this year. This was due to the smallest yield the winery ever had on record. Sad news! As a glorious silver lining to this however, Sorrenberg have brought forward the release of their other exemplary white and just in time for the festive season! This wine has been touted as one of Australia's 'best white wines' and more than adequately fills the gap!

New Bindi Wine alert! We have some beauties in from Bindi Wine Growers: limited stocks of Kaye and Original Vineyard Pinot Noir, plus the new Quartz Chardonnay. These are top-tier wines in any wine collection! But the wines that have captured our attention for summer drinking are the light, juicy Accidental Red ($25) and the dry, delicate Rose Glenhope ($35).

By Farr this week release their top tier Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay. The eagerly anticipated 2022 Tout Pres and RP Pinot Noir, along with 2023 GC Chardonnay, will hit the store soon. Don't miss out! The Tout Pres is an uber-densely planted vineyard, where vine competition brings forth small Pinot Noir grapes of an unparallelled intense, structured flavour. Comparatively, the Cote Vineyard, from which the more delicate RP Pinot Noir and the intensely mineral GC Chardonnay hails is an exposed and hilly site, whose success reflects the Farr family's expertise in knowing exactly which clone of grape will thrive and perfectly suit the soil and aspect. These wines are consistently considered amongst the finest in Australia.

The annual release of the Felton Road flagships are an exciting but swift affair. Swift because these exceptional wines come in sadly small quantities.

Final bottles of Cornish Point, MacMuir and Calvert Pinot Noirs, Block 2 and 6 Chardonnays and more available now.

2022 is a scarce vintage for Mount Mary, but is one for the ages. One of the most collected wines in the country, Mount Mary Quintet 2022 is made up of 48% Cabernet sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 16% Cabernet franc, 3% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot. There has been great anticipation for this wine after it picked up James Halliday's "Cabernet of the Year" several months ago. However, with yields tragically down in 2022, there are fewer bottles than ever!
