Tim Knappstein's been making precise, no-fuss wine for well over sixty vintages now, three generations deep in the trade. The Dagger is his quick one: Lenswood-grown pinot, light and perfumed, built for quick work rather than lengthy deliberation. Dark cherry and red berry, a confected strawberry edge, a flash of spice to keep it interesting. Dangerously good.

Anvers Estate - Pinot Noir 2025
Spiced, Red Berries, Earthy
Spankingly good Pinot Noir from the Adelaide Hills. Velvety and plush, with a lot of attractive fragrance up front. Spicy and earthy and slightly green. Think fresh picked fennel fronds and spring flowers, cut grass and red cherry. Something smokey and savoury at the heart. 2025 was a "vigneron's vintage" if ever there was one, and energetic drops like this are the spoils. A Pinot Noir for the Pinot Noir die-hards (and everyone in between).

Bandit Wines - Cabernet Franc 2025
Spicy, Berries, Slurpy
Cab Franc, the grape you are. Always bringing the finesse and a big, bold nose (hot). Dusty florals, tobacco and soft green herbs up first. A healthy crack of pepper as blue and black fruits open up. Ripe, concentrated and a little vegetal. Feels fresh.
