$89.00The finest syrah in Australia, if not the New World. At least if the measuring stick is the Northern Rhone. -
$100.00For me Genesis is indisputably the finest Syrah in the country. An impeccably poised paradigm of eminent drinkability and exceptional taste ~ Ned Goodwin MW -
$100.00“Genesis Syrah deserves its icon status.” James Halliday -
$110.00"Among the country's exemplary cool climate syrah, this is revelry and sophistication all at once." Ned Goodwin -
$130.00"It has Burgundian syrah, for want of a better phrase, written all over it. It will age into a complex beauty but it has to be said, it’s drinking like a charm now." Campbell Mattinson -
$130.00"It displays nicely evolving tannins and juicy acidity, and comes as something of a surprise in this line-up of big-hitters and traditionalists. But it's a spot-on, classy surprise." Decanter Magazine's Australian Shiraz Panel Tasting -
$89.00The triumphant Sangio of Beechworth…Vibrant, moreish, delicious. -
$89.00An archetypal blend, melding the Italian story with the new frontier, manifests as sangiovese and syrah. While some blends are mishmashes, this works exceptionally well. -
$100.00Castagna’s most heartfelt expression. The spirit, levitating over Italy, while the souls of the feet are hardened by the local turf. The result is moreish, mid-weighted and extremely refined. ~ Ned Goodwin MW -
$100.00"A very different animal to the 16. Herbal. Sassafras. A carapace of firm twine soused tannins binds the more reclusive fruit to future possibility, rather than imminence. Sour cherry, orange zest, scoops of liquorice all-sorts and cardamon..." Ned Goodwin MW -
$100.00"…this blend of Sangiovese with some spicy, fragrant Beechworth Shiraz is exactly the kind of wine that will take Australia into the next phase of international acclaim." Penguin Wine Guide -
$110.00"Un Segreto bears the stamp of its creator and also that of the vineyard. It’s a unique wine. Although this wine has a great future, we derived considerable pleasure from drinking it." Winewise -
$130.00The marriage of sangiovese and shiraz certainly works. The powdery, savoury tannins of sangiovese still make their presence felt, and the shiraz contributes richness to the palate without dominating the blend. Un Segreto bears the stamp of its creator and also that of the vineyard. It’s a unique wine." Winewise -
$130.00"Julian’s vineyard at Beechworth has proved to be an ideal home for the Brunello clone of sangiovese… The palate is richly flavoured, but tight, suggesting that over a decade of positive evolution lies ahead." Winewise -
$100.00Bloody, savoury, succulent and fine-tuned …concentrated but shows power without weight… a little pinot-esque …. It’s fabulous. Mike Bennie -
$65.00The now familiar Castagna tannins are exceptionally fine with dusty, spicy oak and lovely fresh acidity. Not quite Genesis but a wine of amazing value. -
$45.00"Good stuff here. Has a juiciness but also swish of firming, sooty tannins, good clove spice elements." Mike Bennie in Wine Front -
$95.00"This could one day be regarded as the finest sparkling red ever produced in Australia (2005 Vintage)" Campbell Mattinson -
$50.00Rose bright, lots of lively red berry fruitiness, some zesty, briny acidity in the mix, cool, tight bubbles. There’s some halva and nougat notes in the mix, a sense of complexity and freshness alongside savoury characters. Feels gently ‘red winey’ and has lots of detail and vitality despite that. Serious. ~ Mike Bennie -
$50.00Pretty...fleshy and bright, stacked with kirsch and red berry fruitiness but an undertow of stone fruit, creaminess, a sour-sweet finish and some savouriness too. Good, vivid fizz. Complex expression of sparkling. ~ Mike Bennie in Wine Front -
$65.00"It’s naughty and nice with the structural rectitude to keep this wine in line – a long nutty spine and impressive freshness. Perfectly lovely." Sarah Ahmed, The Wine Detective -
$75.00"This wine is epic. So very beautiful this wine. Such wonderful personality." -
$45.00"Spicy, lively, intense. Not sure why we don’t pay wines like this more attention." Campbell Mattinson -
$60.00It’s rich in steaming baking aromas. Flavours are even richer and denser, bold and bitter-sweet. It’s a forward, full-bodied style of white wine. Bitter oregano oil, orange peel, honey, ginger... Very seductive Roussanne. -
"Textural and rich…salty acidity underpinning ripe apples, pear, some preserved lemon. Complex, wonderful expression and wholly its own." Mike Bennie -
$50.00"Jeez the damn thing smells glorious. Only a boofhead would dare to make a stab at its ingredients… The bouquet climbs right out of the glass and occupies the table." Philip White -
$50.00"The ultimate saliva-inducing aperitivo designed to awaken the palate for dinner. Let’s just say I wouldn’t want a tank of this a stone’s throw from my back door – it’s way too dangerously drinkable!" Sarah Ahmed, The Wine Detective -
