About the Winery
Oenops

Founded in 2015, Oenops, meaning ‘wine face’, is a pioneering project whose mastermind is the talented winemaker Nikos Karatzas. Following the micro-négociant system, Oenops aims to produce high quality, great value wines. Rather than owning vineyards, the company sources grapes from selected plots across Greece’s best terroirs, with a focus on cool-climate sites and old vines of indigenous varieties.
At the core of the company’s philosophy is the close partnership with ambitious growers who share a same sustainability-focused approach. Oenops mission is to source great fruit and craft wines that fully express its quality and sense of time and place. By using simple methods, led by the profile of the grapes rather than by any winemaking protocols, the company has built a range of authentic, fruit-forward wines that bring out the best of each variety, terroir and style.
The team tastes meticulously and tailors its approach to each plot and variety, based on the core philosophy and ethos. By vinifying each plot and variety separately the team has grown an understanding of the specificity of each vineyard and of the work done each year, in turn allowing for improvement in each vintage.
A repertoire of indigenous grape varieties, such as Malagousia, Assyrtiko, Vidiano, Roditis, Xinomavro, Limniona, and Mavroudi, is expressed through different styles of Greek varietal wines and in labels that have gained widespread recognition, among consumers and critics alike.
What the team at Oenops strives for is, ultimately, to produce tasteful, elegant wines that work as perfect companions to every meal and special occasion.

Dot Series is represented by the pointillist label for a xinomavro that does not scream fruit from the first nose. A definite Greek-ness, always to dramatic effect, not exactly earthy, definitely not musty, but something only Greek wines have. As if the day were a root day and as a result, wines will smell a certain way. In this case of Naoussa, along with sensorial notes in high acid, low alcohol, and an unshakable sense of place. Drink 2026-2029. Tasted July 2026.

A clean and lovely, perfumed, firm and bright example of xinomavro, full of ripe cherry flavours in the varietal idiom. Tannins are also typically firm and dusty in the Italian fashion, but not overbearing, providing grip and textural relief, supported by firm acids. While it will continue to evolve, I'd suggest enjoying over the near term with salty protein to aid in the softening while still enjoying the vibrant fruit. Nicely done overall. Tasted July 2026.
90 points - Megha Jandhyala S.J.D., DipWSET
This is a charming xinomavro, with radiant flavours of perfectly ripe red fruit berries and cherries, alongside savoury herbal and bramble notes and a pretty floral aroma. Medium bodied and fleshy, with juicy acidity and characteristically finely grippy tannins. Unaffected and expressive, this wine shows both authenticity and varietal fidelity. The finish lingers pleasantly, ending on a subtly spicy note. Tasted July 2026.

About the Winery
Tomich Wines
The Tomich family hails from the Adriatic Coast in Croatia where winemaking is a way of life. Jack Tomich Senior arrived in Australia in 1903 bringing with him all of the grape growing and winemaking skills of his forefathers. The family had always made their own wine for home use and grew sultanas and wine grapes after moving to the new irrigation settlement of Mildura in 1936. Jack’s son Ivan showed a real passion for wine, and by 1946 was producing wine and selling it to local farmers. 3 generations of grape growers and winemakers later, the Tomich family now owns one of the best sites in the Adelaide Hills and had kept its ancestral way of softly farming the land and is pushing for sustainable growing practices.

From six vineyards, three on schist, two on granite and one on iron. Aromatics of cranberry, raspberry, orange, olive, fynbos and white pepper. Pure fruit, not without heft, snappy acidity and powdery tannins. Well balanced, seamless, polished in the best sense.

This is a youthful, slightly brittle pinot that could use a year or two in bottle. The nose is nicely lifted and promising with classic pinot cherry fruit, considerable barrel toast and spice, and an evergreen forest scent. It is mid-weight, quite firm and well balanced with 12.5% alcohol, some minerality and again those chippy tannin, drying the finish. The length is very good to excellent. Best 2028 to 2032.

Bellene's 2024 Bourgogne is showing beautifully at the moment, still fruity but silky smooth, with a fine range of flavours on offer from bright red fruit to savoury-herbal notes. Succulent and delicious, a triumph from this challenging vintage and attractively priced to be sure. To enjoy over the next 1-2 years. Tasted June 2026.

This is a classic if lush expression of pinot noir, with notes of dark cherries, ripe strawberries, juicy black raspberries, and savoury dried herbs. Oak influence adds dimension here, in the shape of woody spices like nutmeg, cloves, and all-spice. Medium bodied, the palate is ripe, with an appealing impression of sweet fruit, grainy tannins, and juicy acidity. The finish is long, ending on a spice note. I would drink this over the next year or two. Tasted June 2026.

There is considerable complexity here on the nose, which I really like. It shows classic strawberry-red cherry fruit, some hay/earthy cellar character and cedary oak spice. It is light to medium bodied (13.1%), intense, with a smooth mid-palate, sour-edged, and quite dry in the end. Flavours stay well focused and hit excellent length. One of the most “old-world” styled pinots from PEC. Best 2027 to 2030. Last tasted June 2026
91 points - Michael Godel
It has likely been 10 years since Keint-He and Greer Road have come through VINTAGES, a shock and shame considering the prominence this site holds in Prince Edward County. The 2023 is a fine and frankly classic vintage to re-enter the monopoly stratosphere with its beet-earthy, tisane-tannic and ultra-hyper PEC expressiveness. There is some experience and haute maturity in the 2023, a wine so settled you can take off the shades, sit back, relax and savour a glass. Better still, the scene would be ideal were the light fading, the grill only residually warm to the touch and the stars getting set to emerge. Like meditating over Amarone, only with a more ethereal red wine that requires nothing but dexterity. Cheese sold separately. Drink 2026-2028. Tasted June 2026.

Pale-medium red garnet; open and spicy, evolving, earthy and twiggy, with old wood perfume, cold wood smoke and creosote, brown spices with a modicum of tart red fruit remaining, though this is now well beyond its fruity years (and likely was never particularly fruity). The palate offers good weight and density in the category, silky texture, balanced acids and good to very good length. To be enjoyed over the near term, best at the table with something savoury and earthy. Tasted June 2026.

Inky hued, this is a densely packed Cab with concentrated black and red berry fruit, licorice, cedar and winter warming spice behind. It's as rich and mouth-filling on the palate as the color and aromas suggest, but with a lovely lift of tangy acidity to balance chiseled, powerful tannins.

This wine stays in its lane as a well priced, slightly sweet-edged ready-to-run cabernet. Expect quite lifted Aussie cab aromas of cranberry, chocolate mint and tobacco. It is medium-full bodied, smooth and generous with some warmth and a hint of sweetness. Tannins are quite fine for cabernet. The length is very good to excellent. Chill a bit. Last tasted June 2026

About the Winery
Radford Dale

Radford Dale and The Winery of Good Hope are two brands made by the same people, in the same winery. The team behind these wineries has been an industry leader since the 1990s in chemical free farming, and more recently in low and no sulfur winemaking. They are a founding member of PIWOSA (Premium Independent Wineries of South Africa) which sets ethical, environmental and social uplift standards. Recognizing the social inequality present in South Africa Radford Dale has also set up a trust called Land of Hope to help facilitate bright futures for children, focusing heavily on education.
Alex Dale who owns and manages both projects is an Englishman who grew up spending summers in Burgundy, France. He moved there in his late teens to follow a passion for winemaking and also opened a wine bar in Beaune. He lived in Burgundy for many years before moving to South Africa in 1998, starting Radford Dale with Ben Radford, an Australian. The idea was to produce wines using modern techniques and technology with a healthy respect for tradition, something Alex came to understand well while living in Burgundy.
Wines are made with minimal intervention in order to best express each vineyard’s individuality.

Pale in colour and savoury in nature, Radford Dale's 2023 pinot is showing maturity on all fronts, with fruit shifted definitively into the dried/desiccated spectrum, building into pot pourri flavours. Drawn from two sites - an east-facing Stellenbosch parcel and north-facing Bot River vines planted to Burgundian clone 115 - it's whole-berry fermented and basket-pressed, then aged in 228L and 300L Burgundian barrels with no new oak, all of which shows in the wine's gentle, unforced framing. The palate is soft and supple, with silky tannins and still-lively, succulent acids. Depth and length are very solid indeed for the price, and styling is classic. Lovers of Bourgogne should take note. Tasted June 2026.

Radford Dale's Vinum is aromatically mild-mannered, though more fruit are discernible on the palate, including notes of dark cherries and strawberries, some fresh and some dried. Mostly fruity, this wine also shows nuances of woody spices herbs. The palate is medium bodied, with rounded ripe tannins, and sweet-balanced acidity, while the finish is long-lasting. This pinot noir is in its peak drinking window, ready to enjoy. Tasted June 2026.

There is iron savoriness and minerality that make this unique, with a Gevry-like grip and a structured profile. It brims with aromas of roasted spices, crushed shells, blood oranges and berries that extend to a tight, almost full-bodied palate supported by very firm tannins. 14 months in 300-liter oak barrels, of which 35% were new. Quite a structured pinot, with 18% whole clusters. 5,970 bottles made. Drink from 2027.

The South Okanagan Phantom Creek Cab Franc comes from estate blocks on both sides of the valley: The fresher, vibrant red fruit and spice come from Kobau Vineyard on the Golden Mile Bench; while the warm, showy, generous black fruit are from the east side Black Sage Bench. It's the blending that creates the magic here, balancing the best of both worlds and giving this franc a spicy red fruit vibrancy and a plush texture all dusted with sagebrush. The alcohol is below 15% this year, helping with the drinkability. Serve with any dish you like, as nothing will be too big for this red, while it's young.

Heirloom Vineyards

Heirloom Vineyards was conceived in vintage 2000, when a young winemaking student caught the eye of a silly old wine judge. A love story ensued inspired by two vows: To preserve the best of tradition, the old world of wine and our unique old vineyards and to champion the best clones of each variety planted in the most appropriate sites embracing the principals of organic farming. Seven long vintages of trial and error passed before Heirloom Vineyards could make a wine that was fine enough to pass on to future generations. That is this wine.

About the Winery
Bideona

Bideona owns or manages over 300 parcels of extraordinary vines in villages throughout the Rioja Alavesa, the coolest, smallest and most Atlantic sub-zone of Spain’s most famous wine region.
The vineyards of the Rioja Alavesa are defined by parcels of old bush vines planted on terraces or hillside slopes with a high percentage of limestone. Located in the foothills of the Sierra Cantabria, Bideona’s vines have an average age of 50 years and many were planted in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, before high-yielding clones became available.
Bideona puts the focus firmly on terroir by making each wine in its Vino de Pueblo range as a field blend of Tempranillo and other native varieties from plots in an individual village. Each is named with an acronym – L3Z4 for Leza, L4GD4 for Laguardia, S4MG0 for Samaniego and V1BN4 for Villabuena – owing to DOCa Rioja regulations that only allow village names to be marked if both the winery and the vineyard are in the same location.
“Bideona’s reason for existence is to make wines that show the personality of the Rioja Alavesa and its historic wine villages” states company co-founder and director, Andreas Kubach MW. “We have access to a wealth of diverse plant material in our parcels of old vines, which we believe contributes to the complexity of the wines as well as the differences between villages.”

The 2021 Bideona L3Z4 (Leza) is a Tempranillo from Leza that aged for 12 months in stainless steel and 300-litre French oak barrels. Aromas of cherries, plum, and dried herbs lead into a plush, generous palate. Slightly liqueur-like at first, this gains definition through its chalky tension and compact structure. The 2021 is long-lasting and flavourful with notable aromatic complexity.

Out of a Sicilian family heritage that traces back to the 17th century, the Tornatore’s Mount Etna wine ventures began in 1865. Today the family’s operations are headed by Giuseppe Tornatore, a businessman whose expertise led to the acquisition of some of the region’s finest north-facing vineyards in the early 2000’s. That heritage and the Tornatore’s profound respect and understanding of the land is showcased in wines that capture the essence of Etna, deftly balancing concentrated flavors, complexity, freshness and refinement.
The company lies in the northern side of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. The soils have volcanic origin and were created through the disintegration of lava, ash and stones from previous volcanic eruptions. The climate on the northern side of the Etna is characterized by mild temperatures, and more rain fall reflecting the influence of the Volcano. The combination of soil, climate and the skill of the winemakers, have made the northern slope of Etna an ideal area for the production of high-quality wines. “Our vineyards and our winery are only a few kilometers from our family home. Our entire family is rooted there. We have the greatest respect for this region, and we believe we have a responsibility to be stewards of Etna and to reflect its distinct character in our wines.” - Giuseppe Tornatore

Straight shooter this Etna Rosso, accessible and amenable to all, now and for all the right reasons. Fruit first, ripe and delicious, aromatically charged and energizing the entirety of the wine. Rosso for Rosso’s sake, crunchy and palatable with great toothsome character, A guarantee and stamp of quality in the most professional of Etna Rosso ways. Unwavering consistency from Tornatore. Drink 2025-2028. Tasted May 2025.

Hanging tough, firm, taut and focused or a 2018 Bordeaux of such reasonable means. Fruit shows a hint or two of leathery, drying and secondary character but ample freshness persists. Stays well afloat without any logged behaviour dragging the fruit downwards or exhausting the wines spirit. Feel comfortable popping bottles for two more years. Last tasted January 2025.
Still very much a youthful Bordeaux with primary fruit not just intact but exhibiting all that joyous exuberance you want from a value-based Right Bank wine. Nice little touch of orange zest and toasted wood wafts. Creamed centre and plenty of parochial tact, followed by a liquifying of chalky tannins. Tight little package here and more than tidy value for current consumption and good drinking four or five years further down the line. Drink 2023-2027.

About the Winery
Château de La Chaize

Château de La Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s Beaujolais region. Cared for by the same family for nearly three and a half centuries, the estate has been passed on to new owners, the Gruy family, who are equally committed to managing the estate with the utmost care, while implementing an ambitious environmental plan. Among the many initiatives is the conversion of all vineyards to organic farming, the adoption of precision viticulture, reducing carbon their carbon footprint, and recycling every by-product from viti- and vinicultural activity, to achieve zero waste.
Founded in 1670 by the seneschal of Lyon François de la Chaize d’Aix, the main Château de la Chaize building and gardens were completed by Jules-Hardouin Mansart and André le Nôtre, respectively architect and gardener of the Château de Versailles. Château de la Chaize is among the oldest, most historic estates in Burgundy’s Beaujolais region. Boasting over 250 acres of vineyards, it is also one of the largest. It is today considered one of the most innovative estates in Burgundy. Among its forward- thinking practices is the adoption of eco-friendly farming techniques, commonly referred to as Agriculture Raisonnée. Chemical treatments have been reduced to a strict minimum, for example, and the growing of grass between rows has been re-introduced to enrich the soil and reduce erosion.

What a deep nose of sour cherries and forest berries this remarkable Brouilly has. The touch of forest-floor character will surely expand as it matures in the bottle. Simultaneously silky and vibrant on the medium-bodied palate. Wonderful freshness and precision through the long finish. From a slope with southeast exposure and granite soil. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Aromas of dried orange peel and earth with berries are very intense. Full body, chewy and very linear. Powerful finish. Lots of energy here. Better in 2020.
