  2015 The Paringa Chardonnay, Paringa Estate

  £7500

  The Paringa Chardonnay is the estates top chardonnay wine and a single vineyard wine.

  The bouquet has a complex floral lift of citrus and stone fruit, with some delicate lees aromas. Cool climate white fleshy stone fruits, citrus notes and savoury nutty oak flavours characterise the palate. This Chardonnay has a round, textured palate harmoniously balanced by a fine natural acidity that leads to a long, persistent finish.

  The name ‘The Paringa’ denotes the single-vineyard origin of this wine. Lindsay McCall planted the first vines on the Paringa Estate vineyard in 1985, with ten acres being under vine by 1990. From this site fruit of distinction is born from a combination of red volcanic (Ferrasol) soil, a north-facing aspect and altitude of 146m on Paringa Road, Red Hill South. In creating this wine viticulture and winemaking practices are approached with the intent of preserving a pure expression of the site from the soil through to bottle.

  2017 The Old Bloke and The Three Young Blonds, d’Arenberg

  £7500

  A mix of gnarly, old Shiraz partnered with youthful, exotic and fragrant white varieties. The Shiraz offers a nose brimming with dark, earthen fruits, woody spices and rich blackberry aromas. Viognier adds fragrance in the form of apricot, ginger and florals, Roussanne delivers an exotic, dried almond and papaya note, and the Marsanne contributes pistachio and yellow stonefruit.

  The palate is generous, with layers of fruit characters that ebb and flow through the entire length. The tannin structure is unique, thanks to the mingling of red and white phenolics. The rustic, chunky, mid-palate Shiraz tannins are tempered by the lusciousness of the white varieties, the finish enhanced by the addition of fragrant, flowery tannins, mainly on account of the Viognier and more nutty, walnut skin texture, from the Roussanne.

  A complex and alluring wine that evolves in the glass. So much individual character and much to take in, but somehow we are left with a sense of harmony between the old bloke and the three young blondes.

  Craie Blanc de Blancs, Champagne Henri Giraud *Gift Box*

  £7500

  Crafted with precision and purity, Craie Blanc de Blancs from Champagne Henri Giraud is an elegant expression of Chardonnay.  “Craie,” meaning chalk, pays homage to the pure chalk soils of the Montagne de Reims, which impart an unmistakable minerality and tension to the wine.

  Vinified entirely in Argonne oak barrels, sourced and crafted under Henri Giraud’s strict sustainability and traceability standards, the wine undergoes fermentation and ageing on lees in these fine-grained barrels. This approach marries Chardonnay’s finesse with the nuanced influence of the forest, yielding a wine of both precision and depth. The lees ageing contributes texture, while the use of indigenous yeasts preserves the authenticity of its origin. As with all of Henri Giraud’s Champagnes, no stainless steel is used, emphasising a philosophy rooted in nature and tradition.

  In the glass, Craie Blanc de Blancs reveals a luminous pale gold hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is pure and lifted, offering vibrant aromas of citrus zest, white flowers, crushed chalk, and delicate notes of fresh almond and brioche. On the palate, it is incisive and elegant, with flavours of lemon curd, white peach, and wet stone, underpinned by subtle oak spice and a saline edge. The texture is creamy yet tightly coiled, with racy acidity and a precise, mineral-driven finish that lingers with poise.

  2019 Rifle Range Cabernet Sauvignon, Rockford

  £7800

  The nose on this elegant cabernet is generous, rich and ripe with plenty of classic blackcurrant fruit with cocoa and tobacco notes. The palate is fresh and herbal with thyme notes that lift the concentrated black fruit. Smooth, silky tannins and a wonderful freshness on the finish.

  Rifle Range Road, which runs parallel to Krondorf Road, is in the heart of the Valley Floor and winds its way up the hills to Kaiser Stuhl National Park. The old rifle range is long gone, but the farming land and vineyards that have long been part of the landscape are still there.  “Because most of our Cabernet Sauvignon comes from vineyards adjacent to Rifle Range Road, it seemed the most appropriate name for this wine, which has been part of Rockford since the very beginning.”

  2018 Basket Press Shiraz, Rockford

  £8000

  One of the world’s truly iconic wines.   Rockford’s Basket Press Shiraz represents the true style of Rockford and it draws heavily on the wisdom and shared knowledge of previous generations of Australian winemakers and recognises that at the heart of every great wine are great vineyards.

  Basket Press Shiraz is made using equipment from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, before aging in a collection of seasoned American and French oak hogsheads and large casks for two years. After bottling the wine is sealed under the highest quality cork. This approach enables Rockford to make the kind of traditional, soft, deeply coloured, earthy Australian red wine that Robert O’Callaghan first became fascinated by as a budding winemaker in the 1960s.

  2019 Sanford & Benedict Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sanford

  £8300

  The Sanford & Benedict Vineyard is where it all began. In 1971 this was the first vineyard planted in what became the world-class, cool-climate Sta. Rita Hills appellation.

  Bright, ruby red, the 2019 Sanford & Benedict Pinot Noir entices with aromatic spicy red fruits, complemented by notes of wet stone and dried herb. The palate delivers earthy raspberry flavours with lush, silky texture. The bright acidity and supple tannins give the wine great structure and length. To allow the vineyard to shine through, the winemakers take a gentle approach in the cellar, using traditional Burgundian techniques.

  The wine was aged in French Oak barrels (35% new) for 14 months where it gained concentration, while allowing the tannins to soften. This wine is drinking well now, but has the balance and structure to age beautifully for the next 12 to 15 years.

  Hommage au Pinot Noir, Champagne Henri Giraud *Gift Box*

  £8350

  ​Hommage au Pinot Noir by Champagne Henri Giraud is a distinguished cuvée that pays tribute to the house’s deep-rooted history and the emblematic Pinot Noir grape of Aÿ. The Giraud-Hémart family has cultivated vines in Aÿ since 1625, making it one of the oldest Champagne houses still managed by its founding family. This wine honours François Hémart, an ancestor of the Giraud family, reflecting the family’s enduring legacy in the region.

  In the glass, Hommage au Pinot Noir reveals a radiant golden hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is expressive and complex, opening with vibrant aromas of ripe orchard fruit, candied citrus peel, and toasted brioche. Layers of apricot skin, grapefruit, and subtle notes of salted almonds and crushed stones reflect both power and precision. On the palate, the wine is structured and textural, offering a beautifully balanced interplay between richness and freshness. Its creamy mouthfeel is lifted by a saline minerality and taut acidity, leading to a long, focused finish with hints of spice and dried flowers. Crafted predominantly from Pinot Noir with a portion of perpetual reserve wine, this Blanc de Noirs is both a celebration of terroir and a tribute to the artistry of the Giraud family.

  2022 Napa Valley Chardonnay, Chateau Montelena

  £8650

  This is an incredible vintage of Chateau Montelena’s flagship Chardonnay.

  In the glass it has a bright gold in colour and is incredibly aromatic, the ripeness of the vintage is most pronounced initially; melon, perfume, and orange blossom slowly give way to fresh peach, honeysuckle and apricot. There is very little overt oak influence on the nose, although it comes across subtly in the background as pie crust and toast.

  On the palate, it’s the suppleness and silky mouthfeel that strike first, although there’s abundant mango and citrus with Meyer lemon here as well. The minerality is chalky and distinct, a beautiful contrast that layers in with the acid adding both complexity and depth.

  The finish is exceptional: There’s slightly more wood on the transition to the finish, surfacing as baking spice and crème brûlée. However, they’re handily overwhelmed by notes of Asian pear, mango and pineapple— absolutely delicious. In time, expect hazelnuts and almonds to appear.
