2024 Weingut Bischel Estate Riesling
Read More2024 Gilbert Sauvignon Blanc
Will Gilbert is helping to change how we view New South Wales Sauvignon Blanc. Operating out of the high-altitude slopes of Orange, he has pushed past the standard simple tropical juice box styles to deliver a sophisticated, grown-up white that focuses entirely on real structural detail.
The fruit comes from seriously high vineyards, sitting nearly a thousand metres up where the cool air keeps things fresh. He gives the juice some proper time on full lees in a mix of old large-format foudres and concrete tanks. This old-school handling fills out the wine, adding more volume and weight.
Instead of simple grassiness, you've got fleshy yellow orchard fruits, bitter citrus oil, and a light hazelnut undertone. It carries a beautiful waxy texture that gets balanced perfectly by a clean, briny mineral kick.
One of the better quality NSW Sauvs on the market and really smart value.

"This is a wine that has come of age, a grown-up, sophisticated version of cool-climate sauvignon blanc... A stunning white wine, with so much textural presence and detail."
- Shanteh Wale (Halliday Wine Companion)
2024 Quinta da Pedra Alta Pedra a Pedra Branco
"A new Douro star… Pedra Alta was a Quinta with an amazing history, and the potential for making serious table wines. It was massively undervalued. They were excited by the prospect of matching the amazing site with one of the best young winemakers around: João Pires."
- James Goode (Wine Anorak)
The Douro might be famous for Port, but Pedra a Pedra Branco shows why its whites deserve attention too. It’s our starting point for Quinta da Pedra Alta, a historic estate making fresh, dry whites from Portuguese varieties grown on its highest slopes.
Here, Rabigato and Gouveio grow on schist soils at up to 520 metres. Rabigato supplies acidity and citrus flavours, while Gouveio adds weight, with the cool nights of 2024 helping preserve freshness.
Winemakers João Pires and Matt Gant pick early in the morning, press gently and ferment with wild yeasts in temperature-controlled stainless steel. Eight months on lees adds texture without the flavour or weight of oak.
Expect lemon, grapefruit and a little passionfruit, with a dry, salty finish. It’s just 11.5% alcohol, but there’s enough substance for grilled prawns, ceviche or goat’s cheese.
For anyone who wants a refreshing white with more texture than the usual crisp-and-simple styles, start here. Superb value.

”Very vertical and precise, it shows saline minerality, lemon pith and citrus peel alongside remarkable schist driven energy and freshness.”
- Tim Atkin MW (Tim Atkin Portugal Report 2026)
"We really want to show this place and interpret the fruit in that way... identity, freshness, and purity is the main thing."
- João Pires (Quinta da Pedra Alta Winemaker)
2025 Havilah Gewurztraminer
"Just delightful wines that are built for drinking not thinking."
- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)
A small-batch release from Ricky Evans at Havilah, made from fruit grown at Waverley Vineyard east of Launceston. It's always the first pick of the harvest, pulled early specifically to hold onto the bright, refreshing acidity that this tricky grape needs.
Whole-bunch pressed straight to barrique, wild fermented, then moved to tank and left on lees for four months before bottling. This subtly worked texture works really well alongside Gewurz's natural fruity exuberance.
The result is aromatic but not heavy: floral, spiced and lifted, with the classic Tassie crisp acidity. Heaps of fragrance and character, but it stays light on its feet and finishes clean. A good food wine, and one of the more drinkable Gewurztraminer around.

2025 Mulline Pinot Gris
Pinot Gris (or Grigio) has come a long way in Australia. From humble beginnings in southern Victoria, it was the first 'alternative' variety to officially graduate the AAVWS and be seen as a mainstream variety.
It's easy to see why when you look at the Mulline Pinot Gris. This is definitely more Gris than Grigio, with lifted florals, ripe stone fruits and a bit of spice coming through.
The wine also saw a small amount of skin contact to provide colour and texture, which rounds out the rich palate and makes this incredibly more-ish.

"Beautifully poised with its aromas of redcurrant, nectarine, pear and blood orange. Even better on the palate, where the flavours and texture are perfectly balanced by subtle time-on-skins tannins, before finishing orange-pithy and long. Should age nicely, too. Excellent."
- Philip Rich (Halliday Wine Companion)
2025 Wickhams Road Yea Chardonnay
If there is a winemaker in Australia delivering better value than Franco D'Anna right now, we haven't found them. The Wickhams Road label is his way of exploring vineyards outside his home turf of Hoddles Creek, and this Chardonnay from Yea is an absolute steal.
The fruit comes from a cool site in Yea that shares a similar climate to the main estate. That natural coolness means Franco doesn't have to mess around with it - there are no acid adds and no fining here. It is just pure, unadulterated Chardonnay made with the exact same care as his premium wines.
Style-wise, this is often a little finer and more delicate than its Yarra Valley and Gippsland cousins. It is linear and chalky, with a racy line of acidity that drives the fruit. It feels precise, refreshing and way more expensive than the price tag suggests.

"Fine-boned, racy and thirst-quenching. Good Chablis vibes. A great drink."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

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.
