Praxis Sparkling Riesling 2019

String

Product

ProductVariant

The pretty, pale, lemonesque hue gives no indication of the fruit bomb this wine actually is. On pouring you’ll get a generous, summery nose of hibiscus, green tea, lemon sherbet and jasmine, while the palate is a silken-textured treat of green mango and crisp acidity. Medium bodied, it drinks beautifully cold. Keep an extra bottle chilling, for top-ups.

Moorilla Praxis Chardonnay Musqué 2019

Boatloads of citrus on the nose, plus some rose petals and passionfruit. On the palate it’s like a fruit tingle (the lolly, not the cocktail), with great texture, high minerality and fantastic length and acidity. Drink it chilled, now (before someone else does).

Praxis Sparkling Riesling 2019 Triple Pack

This perfect spring wine is now available in a triple pack. An unassuming colour gives little indication of the floral and fruit bomb about to ensue. Fresh linen, honeydew melon and jasmine lead the nose, followed swiftly by peach skin and lychee. Silky textures and a firm, crisp acidity balance beautifully with the playful sweetness of the peach and sherbet. Long after your last mouthful, this wine hints at a summer picnic in the garden.

Forbidden Fruit Three Pack

This popular wine is available in a three pack for the special price of $75. Summer of pinot. Pale red in the glass, our 2018 Praxis Pinot is ideal for the warmer months with sour cherry, ripe strawberry, dried florals, vanilla and spice on the nose, rolling into a ripe and fruity palate. Here comes blueberry, sour cherry, dried cranberry and strawberry with chamomile flower, cured meat and vanilla. More light spice and smooth tannins. Here for a good time, not a long time (in the cellar).

Praxis Pinot Noir 2018 Three Pack

Summer of pinot. Pale red in the glass, our 2018 Praxis Pinot is ideal for the warmer months with sour cherry, ripe strawberry, dried florals, vanilla and spice on the nose, rolling into a ripe and fruity palate.

Here for a good time, not a long time (in the cellar).

Praxis Pinot Noir 2018

Ten years on lees and another couple in the cellar could sometimes cause a wine to lose a bit of lustre. Not so here, with the St. Matthias Vineyard fruit being given full voice in a vigorous, spectacularly refreshing sparkling. Grapefruit-driven acidity gives way to a lovely nuttiness and a hint of brioche when drinking, but it’s the intense, almost defiant—given the maturity—freshness and vibrancy that’ll hook you (and keep you coming back). ‘Screechingly refreshing … a compact, precise and vibrant sparkling.’ —Mike Bennie

Cloth Label Late Disgorged 2008

Very light, very bright. You’ll find some reductive, smoky notes on the nose, which round into roasted hazelnut—a real showcase of maturity and complexity. The palate is crisp, racy and lean, with a lovely high acidity giving a tart, dry delicacy to this light-bodied wine. A refreshing, austere vintage that demands food (something light) and rewards some time in the glass (don’t serve it too cold).

Muse Extra Brut 2015

A medium-full salmon sparkler, this is a slightly drier, more savoury take on our Extra Brut Rosé. Expect light, earthy and autumnal notes on the nose, leading to a tightly focused palate with just a dab of tannin and a moreish finish. An excellent aperitif.

Muse Extra Brut Rosé 2015

Leading with big, juicy pear character, our 2019 Pinot Gris also exudes golden delicious apple and plenty of zesty bounce to offset the sweetness. White florals and Turkish spice present nicely on the nose and carry gently to the palate, while the wild fermentation brings a luscious, soft mouthfeel and great textural length. Pairs beautifully with salads or soft cheese.

Muse Pinot Gris 2019

This single vineyard Riesling was born from the first vines planted in Southern Tasmania and is a homage to the dry, textural Rieslings of Austria. Expect lovely green citrus fruit characters on the nose and a fleshy palate with mineral like intensity.

Muse Riesling 2017

Creamy, pale-gold to look at, this one continues the tradition of super-fresh Sauvignons from Moorilla. The nose is clean linen and morning dew, while the palate boasts celery leaf, lime zest, cucumber and gooseberry—green and vibrant without any grassiness or pungency. The finish lifts nicely on the back of zingy lime and a lingering aftertaste of white stonefruit. Perfect to sip over a platter of cheese and charcuterie. ABV: 13.8%

Muse Sauvignon 2018

A delightful tipple. On the nose you'll see hints of oak (but nothing overbearing) and some vanilla cream, before a palate of green papaya and a flinty hit of lemon zest, all lightness and and elegance without being tangy. Pair with something subtle.

Muse Chardonnay 2017

Luminous, luxurious and layered, the 2015 Cloth White is a promise of spring and spice. A bewitching lemon-gold in the glass, the bouquet suggests chai, cinnamon, honeysuckle nectar and peaches, with deeper notes of apricot beyond. The palate balances medium acidity and tannins with an astonishing spread of texture across the tongue, bringing grapefruit pith, cashews and lime skin character before a refreshing finish. Nuanced and exhilarating, it will reward just-below-room-temperature drinking or a good stint in the cellar. Whichever you choose, pair it with Tasmanian seafood for rich rewards.

Cloth Label White 2015

This vintage is a touch lighter than the last, showing many of the qualities you'd normally see in an LDR, with a bit more character—a Medium Dry Red, perhaps. Red-maroon hues on pouring foreshadow the nose: tomato leaf, blood plum and cardamom. The palate boasts a beautiful acidity, and the flavours perfectly straddle the blend of lighter and heavier grape varieties, with fruit-of-the-forest berries and blackcurrants giving way to raisins and dried cranberries. A shining example of the unique terroir of the St Matthias vineyard that'll pair well with Middle Eastern cuisine—or anything with a bit of salt and bite.

Cloth Label Red 2015

Our Pinot Noir is slightly richer than the norm, made with estate-grown fruit from our original Moorilla vineyard (sharing the same peninsula as Mona). Colour is medium-full with brick and faint purple tints, the bouquet a feast of sweet black cherry and sous bois, with some spicy oak and subtle hints of whole-bunch fermentation. We’ll leave the rest to Huon Hooke: ‘A superb wine, and a fine follow-up to the excellent 2015 … the palate is full and rich, concentrated and powerful, the finish very long-lasting. The sweet, rich core of ripe fruit gives it succulence. A delicious wine! 96 points.’ ABV: 13.2%

Muse Pinot Noir 2016 Twelve Pack

An unashamedly cool-climate Syrah (call it shiraz if you like), the 2015 vintage is bold, insanely long, and displays all the finesse and complexity you could hope for. Purple-tinged in the glass, the wine shows plenty of white pepper and an appealing smokiness, layered with ripe, rich fruit and astonishing savoury characters—nuts, spice, graphite, sap—all delivered by fine, chalky tannins and the gorgeous, silken length. 'Here we have a prime example: it bounces with ripe berried fruit, but then it's layered with gun smoke, graphite, peppercorns, nuts and herbs. Tannin has a fine-grained finesse to it; length is excellent; and it has X-factor. It is a beauty.'—Campbell Mattinson, Halliday Wine Companion, 96 points

Muse Syrah 2015

Rich, deep and dark-maroon to look at, with an intriguing, fruits-and-beasts-of-the-forest nose that runs the gamut from mahogany and sous-bois to dark chocolate-berry sponge cake and a slight, almost animalistic hint of musk, the 2015 Muse Cabernet Sauvignon is a thoroughly intriguing wine. On the palate, the tannins are dense and complex (promising a very long life), with lingering sour cherry, dried berries, and shades of cappucino (plenty of chocolate sprinkles) topped by a slightly-above-medium acidity. Pair it with something spicy in its youth or give it some time to open up in the cellar.

Muse Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Fresh, verdant and refreshing. Flickering yellow and green in the glass, our 2018 Sauvignon Blanc welcomes you with crunchy green salad aromas: cucumber, green capsicum and new asparagus. Then to the fruit pop palate of cantaloupe, honeydew and passionfruit. The fruit sweetness is balanced with pleasing acidity and intensity, and a satisfying medium finish. A great value bottle.

Stoney Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Deep Bordeaux-red in colour, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon celebrates the terroir of Stoney Vineyard. Expect mixed spice on the nose with suggestions of new leather and warm earth, and a christmas cake palate laden with cranberries, blackcurrants, raisins and prunes. There's fantastic structure and acidity, too. The 2016 has plenty of medium-term cellaring potential and will go down a treat with rich meats, mushroom and truffles.

Stoney Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

The Lady returns. Originally made by Peter Althaus as a love letter to his beloved wife Ruth, Lady A was first released in 1996. Since then, Domaine A devotees have awaited the release of what James Halliday called ‘the finest oaked sauvignon blanc’ he ever tasted. As per usual, expect elegance and texture (whereas most sauvignon blancs lead with fruit and acid), aged for three years before release (most Sauvignon Blancs are released young). As with past vintages, the 2017 Lady A takes her cues from Bordeaux. Fermented in French oak barriques, matured on fine lees for twelve months, and then rested in the cellar until ready for release. It’s well worth the wait. Size: 750mlRegion: TasmaniaDrinking Guide: Drink now - 10 years

Lady A 2017

A fresh, vital take on the classic characteristics of Domaine A, this one leads with lively notes of tomato skins and lily-rose on the nose ('like Nonna's house on relish-making day,' according to some), before a palate of lively berry character (raspberries lead the charge) and an elegant, herbaceous, basil-driven pepperiness. A long finish leaves lingering suggestions of fruit and blackberry pie. The structure is excellent, and the wine will hold up brilliantly after a few years in the cellar.

Domaine A Petit 'a' Cabernet 2013

A wine of absolute dedication. Entirely hand-picked from old estate vines, only the finest parcels of fruit are selected for inclusion in the rigorous, uncompromising small-batch winemaking process: open vat fermentation, regular racking, hand-plunging and extended time on lees. Maturation takes place over thirty-six months in 100% new French oak barriques, followed by another four years (or more) resting in the cellar before being assessed for release.An impressive blend of Bordeaux varieties, the 2010 vintage is the best of both worlds—youthful yet old school in style. Currants and candied raspberry on the nose. Fruit cake, eucalypt, and vanilla oak notes develop into cherry cola on the palate, before a liquorice and dark chocolate finish. Settle in for fine tannins and cocoa moreishness—this is a deep, ruby red with a luxurious linger.
