Stuart McCloskey “I spent an evening with the highly acclaimed 2023 Vasse Felix Heytesbury which won every Aussie award going. Wine is personal, but I do wonder about peer pressure amongst the critics. It was good to very good. This, without question, is a notch-up...read more

The Chapelle d’Ausone has an intense bouquet with vibrant, slightly dusty black fruit that are very well defined and develop intriguing earthy, almost graphite aromas with aeration. Leaving it in my glass over five minutes it offers some gorgeous...read more

The dosage is carefully selected to preserve the balance between freshness, fruit and vinosity without masking the wine’s character and purity.

Stuart McCloskey “This oozes pedigree and only gets better with more time in the glass. You must doff your cap to Rob’s control of the acids, texture and flavour, with everything working in perfect, balletic harmony...read more
