Time has not wearied it, and Dodd’s remains one of the greats, and indeed the finest Martini Gin that we’ve come across. First created in 2013, Dodd’s is a unique marriage of two separate distillations; the bulk of the botanicals are distilled in a relatively small, 140-litre copper alembic still called ‘Christina’. Then, the distillation of the more delicate botanicals (such as raspberry leaf) takes place in a small, bespoke ‘Cold Vacuum’ still, christened ‘Little Albion’. The two spirits are blended for several weeks before bottling. The team’s attention to detail extends to exquisite individually numbered, letterpress labels, which are printed on an old Heidelberg press and attached to each bottle by hand. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eIntensely juniper-driven with bright, fresh lime peel in place of the more traditional coriander seed, this makes for a Gin that is at once elegant, refreshing and yet mellow and textured.

Verdant lime and bay laurel greet the nose, while the pillowy mouthfeel and a subtle sweetness come from the addition of London honey collected from local beehives, imparting a creaminess that mellows the refreshing, earthy, menthol notes delivered by lingering hints of juniper, bay and angelica. The finish is wonderfully perfumed suggesting an array of elements like lime blossom and jasmine, cardamom and a tickle of nettle and red fruit from the fresh red raspberry leaf. Put simply, this is a complex, audacious Gin (which happens to be 96% organic) that holds its own against the very best.

His love of bitter flavours started somewhat earlier, as a young Italian lad sipping on chinotto as his mates enjoyed their Coca-Cola.

The other significant player is the renowned tequilero Melly Cárdenas, who fashions La Gritona at her small distillery in Valle de Guadalupe in the highlands of Jalisco. One of Mexico’s few female master distillers, the fiercely independent Cárdenas—who has 20 years of quality Tequila production under her belt—shares Coronado’s love of the exceptional and unconventional, and leads a team staffed by only local women. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a Reposado, La Gritona is light on colour and sweetness—Coronado and Cárdenas want none of the flavours that mask many commercial Reposados like vanilla, chocolate and dulce de leche.

Working with 9- to 10-year-old, mature Blue Weber agave grown in the iron-rich red soil of the Jalisco highlands, every step of production after harvest takes place under Cárdenas’ own roof. The agave is steam-cooked in a single, thick-walled earthen oven for 24 hours and then allowed to rest for another 24 hours before crushing. The collected liquid is naturally fermented (no additives are used to push things along) in open steel vats at a rate dictated by the ambient air temperature and the wild yeasts, usually lasting between six to nine days. The double distillation takes place in small steel stills.  Those bespoke bottles by the way are made from recycled Mexican glass, hand-blown just an hour’s drive from the distillery.

While most producers of Ratafia use their weakest grapes (or purchased grapes), Egly uses only perfectly ripe, 100% Grand Cru, estate-grown and sorted Pinot Noir fruit. Add to this the renowned work in the vineyard, and you start to get the picture. This is also from a single vintage—in this case, 2018. The fruit was sorted and gently pressed before the finest grape spirit or marc (distilled from Egly’s own fruit, of course) was added. It then spent four years mellowing in barrel. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs we have come to expect, this perfectionist grower refuses to aim for anything other than greatness, no matter what he is making. As a result, this is a stunningly pure and intense expression of Ratafia that can be drunk on its own, over ice or with soda. It also makes a wonderful version of kir and stays fresh in the fridge for months after opening. Bottled in 2023. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champagne Egly-Ouriet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43301595414766,"sku":"20010-700","price":99.75,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7468\/3630\/products\/37752cc8-33f8-ec11-ab3d-0ac90280dbea_20010-700.png?v=1658796188"},{"product_id":"toro-albala-poley-oloroso-en-rama-15-anos-nv","title":"Toro Albalá Poley Oloroso En Rama 15 Años NV (500ml)","description":"\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003e17% ABV.

The book includes 20 appellation overviews, each providing a summary of the area’s history and wine styles, and detailed facts and figures. The author’s coverage of the Châteaux themselves is unusually wide-ranging (covering 800 properties), while also shining a light on the region’s oft-neglected corners of Fronsac, Lalande-de-Pomerol, Castillon and Francs, Bourg and Blaye, et al.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eEven with all the producer coverage, the book’s core focus is on terroir and the role of climate and soil in the shaping of Bordeaux’s wines. Anson writes that the intention was to “start assessing Bordeaux in the way that we more typically do for other fine wine regions, such as Burgundy, Barolo, the northern Rhône—by its soils, and by how these individual soils react to different growing conditions year on year.” Such an important theme has never been subject to such detailed and accessible analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eTo peel back these layers, the author enlisted the expertise of a team of renowned scientists at the very forefront of the research into this region, including internationally acclaimed scientist and professor at Bordeaux University, Kees van Leeuwen, viticulturist David Pernet, climatologist and winemaker Benjamin Bois, and geologist and terroir consultant Pierre Becheler. Their cumulative research was so far-reaching that the book’s scope almost doubled in size during its development. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eAside from its scholarly depths, the publishers have equally created a highly functional work, where you can quickly get to whatever information you are looking for.

But the book also acts as a siren call to those of us who have strayed from the region, perhaps frustrated by Bordeaux’s static system of classification, arcane distribution structure, and the crazy prices of the most famous wines (of course many less-famous producers are now looking like great value!) Anson writes that Bordeaux winegrowers “no longer want to concede to Burgundy the moral high ground on terroir and are determined to prove that the concept in Bordeaux is not something frozen in 1855, and that instead the interplay between grape, soil, climate and man is becoming ever more refined.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"richp\"\u003eBringing a new perspective to what is still the world’s most famous wine region, this just might be the book to help give Bordeaux back to the people.

The rebooted whites of Madrid have opened our eyes and palates to one of Spanish wines’ best-kept secrets, Albillo. Juan Bulnes is passionate about this re-emerging variety with a history in the region that may date back to the 8th century. Judging by the examples we have tasted, it’s a passion well-founded! Suffering the same fate as just about every other shy-bearing and characterful indigenous grape variety around the globe, the once prized Albillo has found itself side-lined in favour of more profitable, high-yielding varieties. Its comeback is long overdue. It’s worth noting that Albillo once played a role—similar to that of Viognier in Côte Rôtie—in Vega Sicilia’s Unico blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine, however, shows what can be achieved when it stands alone. It comes entirely from three parcels of 85- to 100-year-old vines growing in the granitic sands of the Cantocuerdas vineyard—named after the large granite boulders that are strewn across the landscape. Each parcel is fermented separately and undergoes longish macerations (60 days in the case of one vat), and the wine is matured in used barriques for nine months. Textured, earthy and pure, this wine is often slow to unfurl in the glass, but it is well worth the wait. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bernabeleva","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44072176615662,"sku":"21814-750","price":39.55,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7468\/3630\/products\/5411d824-73bc-ed11-ab3d-024d026f405e_21814-750.png?v=1678144137"},{"product_id":"place-of-changing-winds-harcourt-syrah-2021","title":"Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Syrah 2021","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first Place of Changing Winds release from the soils and climate of Harcourt North in the Bendigo G.I. With its pure, sandy, granite soils and its mild climate, this specific place stands apart from the rest of Bendigo. It’s a vineyard that can grow wines of tremendous perfume and finesse, even if the 2021 is a deeper and more structured release, reflecting the season. The wine underwent almost two years of maturation: one year in neutral wood (barrique through to 1000-litre) and one year in an unlined concrete tank. Bottling was in late February 2023. The result is a wonderfully perfumed, yet layered Syrah with blackcurrant fruit, anise, bay leaf and thyme notes and a super-long, lingering finish.
