Dalrymple Pinot Meunier 2022
Something new and fabulous from Dalrymple... This debut Pinot Meunier is delicious and all I can say is just keep pouring.
Millennials love medium-bodied wines and this is right in their wheelhouse. Only a small batch production that is to be sold on premise, this oozes good times and good vibes.

After Five Wine Co Shiraz 2021
After Five Wine Co. If there was ever a label wine drinkers would know back to front, it would be this one - coz we all want is something delish after five, right? Clever, smart booze. Polish, sheen, length and delish factor describe it best.

Tempranillo with 60% whole bunch carbonic maceration - now that's pushing the dial with the variety and your taste buds are the winner. A great wine from Storm King Wine Co.

Storm King Wine Co Vermentino 2022
Release number two of this captivating and uber-impressive expression of Vermentino from Storm King Wine Co. Dripping with interest, it is a wine that continued to develop the longer it was open. An excellent wine hands down and if texture is in your wheelhouse, head over this way.

Briar Ridge Limited Release Wrattonbully BDX 2021
Named the BDX, you could assume it's a Bordeaux blend but its main player is Barbera. It's not so Bordeaux then is it? But given the appellation law has changed (a law many would be oblivious to), it's a curious name I must admit.

Yelland and Papps Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Barossa Cabernet doesn't usually entice me into a deep dive but I'm ready to somersault into this Yelland & Papps release with pike. Damn delicious and easy to drink, it's insanely smooth and velvet like.

Yalumba Eden Valley Syrah 2021
This Eden Valley Syrah found its mojo after a couple of days of tasting. To say it developed wonderfully in that time would be an understatement. Give it a good decant or some time in the cellar and kick back to be rewarded for your patience.

Stockman's Ridge Signature Gruner Veltliner 2022
This Stockman's Ridge Signature Gruner Veltliner was harvested riper and barrel fermented to differentiate it from its sibling. The different handling is telling and the generosity is evident.
