2025 Decades Coal River Pinot Noir
Offer: $79
Winner of Best Australian Pinot Noir at the 2026 Pinot Challenge
2x 2027 Halliday Awards: Best New Winery + Winemaker of the Year
This highly praised Pinot comes frpom the esteemed, ever-improving Steve Flamsteed. A more focused, expansive-thinking, hard-working vigneron is almost impossible to find (I’m not sure that there is one). I tasted this Decades’ Pinot a few weeks ago at a Pinot conference with Flammo (and I love Coal River pinots). After tasting good and great pinots all day, this looked really pure, perfumed, silky (but not a light weight) fresh, crunchy, juicy, complex and long. Try some while you can!

2025 Bannockburn Serre Pinot Noir
Offer: $119 | $106 in Straight or Mixed 6-Packs
$252 In-Magnum
"Serré, planted in 1984 and extended in 1986, certified organic in 2021, planted to 1.2m x 1.2m vine spacing.”
This release is both powerful and taut. It’s also noticeably mineral, which helps give it that something extra. It offers a concentrated burst of dark cherry flavour, diving into plum, into rust, ground spice and sweet earth. It’s one of those wines that seems to hold onto you, once you take a sip, such is its grip and its authority. The fruit itself wears a corduroy shirt of cedarwood, slim-fit; the body beneath is guns out; muscular and lithe. This is serious stuff, and seriously good."

2024 Bass Phillip Premium Pinot Noir
Offer: $265
The Estate is no more than 30km away from Bass Strait and this excellent wine smells oceanic – of ferrous and iodine. It's quite compelling. Then dark cherries, warm earth, autumn leaves and a hint of exotic spices appear. Very savoury. The palate is a textural delight, deep and concentrated with bold flavours, yet has energy and drive. Plentiful, fine-grained tannins allow everything to end on a high note."
