Charles Oates Pommeau de Tasmanie 18.2%Aged in small apple brandy casks for over 12 months, this rich and generous liqueur is a result of blending pressed French and British heirloom apple varieties with our apple spirit.
Complex and well-structured with baked apple and spice, balanced with firm tannins and cask influence.
Our take on the traditional aperitif from North-West France – enjoy as such or serve with blue cheese or dessert. WILLIE SMITH

Charles Oates Tasmanian Apple Brandy 42.1% 700mlInspired by the tradition of calvados in North-West France, our Apple Brandy shows complexity and character.
After patient aging in ex-fortified wine barrels, casks are carefully selected and blended to produce an elegant and outstanding spirit that shows layers of baked apple, sweet caramel and fruit cake aromatics. WILLIE SMITH
We were really floored by the quality of this product. The Willie Smith crew did a stellar job and that should really be no surprise considering the quality across the board of their ciders. Its all made from local Tassie apples in Australia’s first alembic Charentais copper still.CalvadosAustralia490$95.00 As low as $85.50

Richard Rottiers Moulin a Vent 2020The 2020 Moulin-à-Vent bursts with aromas of raspberries, spices and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a sapid finish, this has turned out brilliantly. It's a benchmark cuvée for the appellation.

Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2021This is a beauty. Fragrant and attractive from the outset but then expansive on the palate as well. Earth, twigs, root vegetables and cherries with woodsy spice notes rippling throughout. Tension and flow, texture and tannin. There's a smoky meatiness to the aftertaste, mixed in with decaying red roses, and it's most attractive way for the wine to sail out. Drink it now, drink it later; it will deliver. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, winefront.com
A wine of real gravitas and presence, the '21 reflects a most impressive year. Abundant, enticing aromas in pristine red fruits, maritime herbs, humus and dusty beets. The palate fairly bristles in fruit freshness and energy, the tannins pricking the tastebuds and laying the foundation for a long life. Oak? Yes, it's evident in the texture and the binding but totally integrated. JENI PORT, winecompanion.com2020Pinot noirAustralia395

Allies Assemblage Pinot Noir 2021This is both the most enjoyable and the most “serious” little assemblage to date. Why can’t more people make Pinot this good at this price? No, I don’t need an actual answer to that.
The extra enjoyability comes from the added power and weight, the slightly darker fruit and the sappy tannins that draw the wine out and give it some extra grunt. I believe there is some stems this year to rail in some of the fruit from warmer sites? Whatever it is this is one hell of a little wine for the money. Stuffed full of warming spice, plummy fruit, some autumnal, foresty characters and it all culminates with a fairly substantial and reasonably expansive finish. Great wine, great price. ROSCOE, PWS

Le Cinciole Chianti Classico 2018The 2018 Chianti Classico is a wine of magnificent purity and class. Lavender, sage, tobacco and cedar open first, leading to a core of dark red/purplish fruit. Savory and earthy, with terrific persistence, the 2018 has so much going on. Readers will find a deep, layered Chianti Classico full of character. The 2018 will benefit from a few years in bottle, as it is a bit tight at this stage. ANTONIO GALLONI2018sangioveseItaly495$51.00 As low as $45.90

Maybe its easiest to start with who and what we are not! We are not a supermarket, discount chain, lowest-common-denominator liquor outlet. In some ways we are not even a retailer who could be selling anything; tyres, widgets or beanie boos! We can only sell one thing…WINE!
What we are is an independently owned wine merchant, driven by our collective passion to source and share some of the greatest wines in the world with a similarly passionate group of punters…many of which are now friends and part of the PWS family.
There are two owners: Michael McNamara and Alex Wilcox (and their long-suffering wives) and together with 42 other committed (or perhaps should be committed) staff they run three wine retail outlets in South Melbourne and Sydney as well as a wine bar/restaurant Bellota and a wine cellarage business called Liquid Assets. In addition to this educate and have, for some years, now run the benchmark WSET qualification in Victoria and NSW and a suite of more informal courses written by the ourselves and our staff.
We import from a strong portfolio of producers from France, Italy, New Zealand and California that reflect our love of wines that are made by people who share our passion for great wine and wines that reflect their place.
So without getting too carried away and to put it succinctly, we love drinking, selling, talking about and being in and around wine.
Who else would you wanna buy wine from!
Founded by Alex Wilcox and Michael McNamara.
