Australia & NZ
These far-flung wine regions may be referred to ‘new’ when compared against the historic European wine regions, but they have a long winemaking history. Spared from Phylloxera, Australia in particular has world's highest concentration of venerable vines and legendary producers such as Penfolds, Henschke and Tyrell’s have been around for over 150 years. Though for many years piggybacking on Europe’s successes, branding their own wines as ‘Chablis’, ‘Hermitage’ etc., Australia now have created a real identity of their own, making inimitable styles like Coonawarra Cabernet or Hunter Valley Semillon.
New Zealand doesn’t quite have as an extensive history but has established itself in an astonishingly short amount of time as a reliable source of whistle clean, distinctive examples of varietals like Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc.

The 2015 Chardonnay is 10 years from harvest, and while in lovely condition, it doesn't appear to have the same level of complexity to the fruit as some of the more recent vintages. Here, the wine shows concentration and heft, paired with a spear of citrus acid. It's juicy and long but has more power than detail. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.Inc. TAX€318.94 -

I agree with Greywacke's founder, Kevin Judd, that Marlborough Chardonnay is still waiting to be undiscovered. This taut, savory style has lovely richness on the midpalate. It is not shy and retiring with its flint, smoky bacon and toast characters, derived from a combination of winemaking techniques, both barrels and solids. It is deeply satisfying despite its tense, youthful character. This wine will be released in 2021 and if you put it in your cellar and forget about it for five years, there's no need to worry.Inc.

Aromas of ripe apples, pie crust and hints of flint and graphite. Medium- to full-bodied with plenty of fruit, from apples to oranges, as well as a hint of oak. It’s flavorful and long in the finish. Plenty going on here. Youthful and al dente. Drink or hold. Screw cap.Inc. TAX€519.07 -

The medium-bodied and well-concentrated 2022 Pinot Noir lends a savory edge to Marlborough's rich fruit. There's depth and roundness on the mid-palate thanks to the richer soils of Marlborough's Southern Valleys. A bright, acidic freshness frames the 2022 as satisfying tannins lightly coat the palate. The oak is still a little prominent on the nose and the front palate, but it should integrate more fully in the coming two to three years.Inc. TAX€543.73 -

This Sauvignon is neither flamboyant in its aromatics nor firm in its structure, but quietly understated, like its maker – and it is all the better for it. The pure and delicate flavors include apple and elderflower. The aromatic intensity has had the volume turned down to a pleasing hum thanks to 20% wild fermentation. Light in body, displaying lovely balance and poise.Inc. TAX€258.96 -

Seductive bouquet of wild flowers and minerals, a fine leesy complexity and fresh aromas and flavours of citrus, peach tea and sweet hay. Crisp, refreshing, fruity and dry with fine texture. Just enough concentration of flavour to contrast the fresh herb notes and salivating acidity. Well made and long.Inc. TAX€323.76 -

Mid yellow, bright colour; the bouquet is layered, with buttered toast, smoked charcuterie reductive notes, fresh-herb traces and lemon/citrus peel aromas. If there is oak, it has mellowed in beautifully with time. Firm, dry, long finish. A full flavoured, rich wine which transcends the grape variety. Excellent.Inc. TAX€208.54 -

The flagship wine from renowned winemaker Kevin Judd, who founded this winery with wife Kimberley in 2009 after 25 years at Cloudy Bay. Sourced from sites across the region, it is fermented using wild yeasts in old French oak barriques where it rests on lees for six months. Roger Jones: Stylish balance of fruit to herbaceous notes, multi-layered with a crunchy texture, mellow yellow summer field flowers. The elegance at the end is quite remarkable. Freddy Bulmer: Attractive and clean on the nose, plenty of primary fruit but also a nice amount of savoury character from the oak. Well balanced and really quite a serious wine. Cat Lomax: Expressive, punchy nose. Great concentration, tonnes of luscious Sauvignon fruit supported by very smart use of oak. Tastes like pricey white Bordeaux. Delicious.Inc. TAX€192.23 -

The 2022 Wild Sauvignon is ever an elegant affair, and this year feels quite restrained in its outlay of fruit, oak and spice. I love this wine; it ages beautifully, and it shows the serious, more complex side of Sauvignon Blanc. This is highly recommended. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.Inc. TAX€413.76 -

The Real Review (99)
The very dry season produced a tiny crop of grapes in the Gaia vineyard barely half a kilogram per vine. The 2021 is a blend of 95% cabernet sauvignon with 5% cabernet franc. This is the best Gaia I can recall ever tasting. The colour is a profound and very bright purple-red and it has a bell-clear, ultra-youthful mulberry/blueberry aroma which is fruit driven, the 45% new oak input barely noticeable as the fruit is so powerful and vibrant. An absolutely gorgeous wine, the clarity and power of its flavour is gobsmacking. Concentration is at a very high level but so are balance, harmony and elegance. A blinder of a wine. (Screwcap)Inc.

This exposed and extreme site in the upper reaches of the Clare is characterised by cabernet of concentration, varietal precision, structural confidence and grand longevity, and the cool 2022 season has only served to amplify all four dimensions. The depth and definition of crunchy blackcurrant and cassis fruit is monumental, and it is blessed with all the mineral-fine tannin, vibrant acidity and profound persistence to endure exceedingly long indeed.

The 2012 Polish Hill Riesling has an expressive nose replete with very ripe and seductive, warm apples and green mango aromas intermingled with frangipani, soursop and honeydew. Opulent in the mouth, it is youthfully tight though, like the nose, it already has an expressive character and is finishing long. Though approachable now, it should drink best from 2015 to 2026+.Inc.

This is a ravishing Riesling of the highest order, X-factor multiplied. Throw up any part (flesh, juice, skin, pith) of lime or lemons of any kind, add ethereal acidity and marvel at the elegance and length of the palate. Jeffrey Grosset is the undisputed king of the Clare Valley.Inc. TAX€119.04 -

The clean, fresh aromas of just-picked citrus fruits belie the enormous power of lime juice and rich lemon pith that immediately fills the front palate on this latest vintage. There’s poise in addition to the power though, with multiple layers of rounded citrus and mineral flavours enjoying a luxurious textural roll through the mid-palate. Perfect integration of fresh citric acid carries the pure fruit qualities through extraordinary length to a crisp, lip-smacking finish.Inc. TAX€803.88 -

An exceptional vintage for this wine, with such intense aromas of lime and sweet flowers, as well as hints of white nectarine and wet stone in the background. The palate has density and sleekly refined shape that drives so long. Lime juice throughout, and some almost pithy density builds into the finish, supported by driving acidity. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026 and a number of years after that. Screw cap.Inc. TAX€104.89 -

The 2023 Polish Hill Riesling is utterly superb. It has the flesh and body that only the Clare can deliver; it is shaped by coiled acidity, and it ripples through the finish with unfettered fruit power. It's a glorious thing, this wine.

This needs no introduction; safe to say, this is one of the most delicious young releases of this wine. Immediate appeal in abundant jasmine floral lift, green apple fruitiness, soft lime elements, ginger cake, blackcurrant touches and a wellspring of saline minerality. There's a juiciness, though strict ribbons of pulverised pumice and granitic mineral character find chew and pucker here, too. In all that, the intensity is somewhat dialled down while drinkability is through the roof. No matter, the character shifts each year in degree; it's a stellar wine, full of inimitable character and a finesse that Grosset does so well.Inc. TAX€330.22 -
