The Next Hundred 100yrs Riesling 2024 $38

A single site Riesling from the Frankland River region. Was immediately impressive when we tasted recently - controlled acid and balanced fruits, savoury hints and excellent length. Yet another wine from this region that proves just how good the broader Great Southern GI is for Riesling. 

Turon Adelaide Hills Pinot Gris 2025 $30

Best Oz Gris I've had for some time. Smart, mostly dry, good depth in the palate. Very serious style for Australia. Not fruity when compared to the likes of Mornington Peninsula examples, rather this is very textual.

"It does justice to the naming of 'pinot gris' with its Alsace bent of slippery texture, fleshy pear characters and adornment of sweet spices. A plush feel but controlled with chalky edges and a tight, squeaky finish. Balanced, refreshing and spot on." 93pts | Mike Bennie | Halliday Wine Companion

Mishrit Pinot Noir 2025 $36

We are very very lucky to get our hands on a small allocation of uber-micro start-up Mishrit. The 2025 Pinot Noir is a single vineyard offering from 27yr old vines from the well established Coombe Farm in the Yarra Valley. Left on skins for 2 weeks before pressing off to 2/3/4yr French oak. Some warmth early but very pleasant. Sseems light early but really grows on the palate; mildly spicey finish. Easy going. Only 55 cases produced.

Fighting Gully Grenache 2023 $33

Mark Walpole has graduated from being arguably one of Australia's greatest viticulturalists to become one of its greatest vignerons. His interest in cool climate viticulture led him from his home in the Ovens Valley to the elevated Beechworth plateau at the top of the Escarpment above the Murmungee basin. He is on record stating his concern about Beechworth becoming too warm for Pinot Noir and this is likely a driver behind his increasing focus on warm climate suitable varieties like Grenache. Somewhat different to SA examples; this is all about dry savoury notes and hints of spice. Quite a grown-up wine really.
