To list everything Ray Nadeson and Maree Collis do well would be like trying to catch a waterfall in a bucket. As the domaine marks its 30th anniversary, there is no shortage of achievements to reflect upon—from the compelling Nadeson Collis sparkling program to an eclectic portfolio spanning...

A truly great vintage, from a truly great grower. Barolo 2021 is the most anticipated vintage for some time, and the wines from Sandrone well and truly deliver on the hype. The season was shaped by a long, moderate growing season, balanced yields and low pHs. It will come as no surprise that Sandrone has crafted two stellar Barolos—wines that combine succulent, juicy fruit, fine structure and glorious, lifted perfume...

Although it’s extremely rare to find top-notch, top-value GROWER Burgundy these days, there is still some to be found if you know where to look.

“Pioneer” is not a term to be used lightly, yet it is entirely fitting when describing the careers of Kathleen Quealy and Kevin McCarthy. This influential partnership was not only among the early wave of growers who seriously explored and planted the Mornington Peninsula in the early 1990s...

Some of the best things happen slowly. Aurélien Laherte is not an overnight success; he took over from his father Thierry and his uncle Christian in 2005 when barely in his twenties. Since that time, through a combination of cutting-edge farming and fearless winemaking, he has now hit a level that compares with the best grower wines in Champagne...

The Rocca family have crafted a brilliant portfolio of 2022 Barbaresco. The wines’ balance, like a tightrope walker over the Tanaro River, and lifted perfumes, are impossible not to love. They are generous, and yet they also possess the poise, finesse, and classical tannins that will appeal to the Piemonte cognoscenti...

In 1849, French writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr wrote “plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose,” – the more things change, the more they stay the same. Pete Schell has been quietly chipping away at the Barossa coalface for a quarter of a century now, constantly extracting all manner of vinous gems.

Given that Domaine Alain Graillot has stood at the summit of the Crozes-Hermitage appellation for over 40 years—with Maxime Graillot present for half of those vintages—you might assume Maxime is part of the establishment. Far from it. He is one of the most thoughtful and engaging growers we work with, constantly pushing boundaries while eking out every last ounce of quality from his wines. His Syrahs are the epitome of impeccably made Northern Rhône wine: a place where old school values meet cutting-edge technique.

The combination of exceptional terroir, a marginal climate and progressive vineyard management—not to mention quietly understated winemaking—produces mesmerising wines. That is exactly what Pyramid Valley is delivering.

I wonder if there is a smarter buy in Burgundy these days than Dureuil-Janthial? Vincent Dureuil is a superstar, albeit a very quiet one; he works his vines and keeps his head down. He does not talk much. Whenever his name comes up in conversation with other great growers, everyone nods and talks about how remarkable his wines are and how much they love them. Remember that old Coche quote?

For a traditional, old-school grower keen to avoid the limelight, Cavallotto are not doing a great job staying out of the headlines. Off the back of a run of stellar vintages, Barolo specialist Kerin O’Keefe awarded Cavallotto her Barolo Winery of 2025 accolade this year. O’Keefe’s peers at Vinous and The Wine Advocate have been equally effusive.

Our first tranche of 2024 white Burgundies are starting to arrive. The headline news is that 2024 heralds a return to a more classic model of white Burgundy: delicious wines of modest alcohol, bright acidity and cool fruit flavours.
