Our first ever exclusive Australian wine. Skilly is Australia in a bottle with the rich purple berry notes of the native lilly pilly and the menthol herby tones of the Dorrigo pepperleaf. It comes from the historic Quelltaler vineyard, planted in 1858, and was made just for Dedalus by Seppeltsfield, one of the most historic estates in all of Australia.
Bruno and Thama moved to France to escape the fast paced lifestyle they were living in Brazil. They took over Les Chemins de Bassac in 2019. This wine is from 15 years old vines on limestone and clay originating from ancient Quaternary alluvial terraces at around 100 m altitude. It has soft spices, dry tannins, and dark fruit: an easy-going Southern-style red for all occasions.
The fruit for this bottle comes from legendary biodynamic Napa Valley estate, Aurajo, in the Oak Knoll district of Napa Valley. The well-draining gravel soils of Oak Knoll mirror that of Bordeaux, resulting in an elegant, powerful, and structured Cabernet Sauvignon.
We can’t say enough great things about Matthiasson. As seasoned professionals of the sustainable food & farming movement, their wine is a reflection of that with terroir being a central focus. Their Napa Valley Cabernet is totally vibrant, abundant with dark red fruit & is asking for a steak alongside it.
This Rudd Cabernet Sauvignon is quintessential “Napa Cab” with our favorite twist: low intervention, sustainable farming practices. Fine tannins and ample acidity form the structure of this wine, while ripe red fruit delivers freshness on the palate. This is an incredible example of agability in wine - drink now or hang on to it as it’s only getting better.
Thierry Germain is contemplative and intentional in both the vineyard and the winery. The result is a Cabernet Franc that is complex and powerful. A bit savory and definitely ethereal, this bottle is not to be missed.
