Description

"I’m not overly familiar with the wines of J&S Fielke but this is a pretty special producer, I’d hazard to say. The 2022 Chardonnay is fantastic. There’s plenty of interest with this 2022 Pinot Noir as well."
- Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

Top-shelf stuff here from Jemma and Steve Fielke.

Bright and juicy and very fine-boned this is a finely detailed Pinot Noir that's a world away from the 'dry red' Pinot Noirs of the Adelaide Hills a decade ago.

It's all strawberry and flowers, fine silty tannin and glossy texture - it's a delicious and dangerously drinkable bottle of Pinot from a producer on the rise.

94 points - "I’m not overly familiar with the wines of J&S Fielke but this is a pretty special producer, I’d hazard to say. The 2022 Chardonnay is fantastic. There’s plenty of interest with this 2022 Pinot Noir as well.

The rails are silken, the tannin is both firm and grapey, the fruit has a certain insistence to it. It offers mint, strawberry, red cherry, shaving cream and twiggy spice characters as a harmonious whole, and while the flavours feel water-based there’s no lack of fruit succulence, or power, within a varietal context. There’s a macerated aspect to this, a certain undergrowth-y brood, but it remains refreshing. Score-wise I hovered around 93-94, and ended up on the latter." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

Unexpectedly sharp finish

I was expecting better in all honesty because the Chardonnay was really good.

On the front this was promising, but the back end was sour and a bit sharp when you’re looking for balance, a long streamlined finish. Shame.

J&S Fielke

Jemma & Steve Fielke are two names you need to put on your radar.

Born and raised in the Adelaide Hills, the two met while studying Viticulture and Oenology at the University of Adelaide and have since spawned this boutique wine label with big plans on the horizon.

They have planted out parts of Jemma's family property in the Hills to one day make their own estate-grown wines but in the meantime, they are sourcing small parcels from Piccadilly and making some profoundly delicious wines.

The word on the street is these two will be big players in the future of the Hills. Get in now on the ground floor of this exciting emerging project.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
