Selection
Road 13 2020 5th Element
$79.99Lush, macerated dark fruit fills the palate, framed by desert scrub and generous oak. French and American barrels bring broad spice and polish, while firm structure keeps the richness in line. Built from six red varieties, this is muscular and still youthful, with a brooding character that will continue to knit together with time in bottle.
Roagna 2018 Pira Barolo DOCG
$309.99Pale ruby in colour, with preserved strawberry, red cherry and currant framed by rose petal, lavender, dried herbs, tobacco and mint. The palate is bright and linear, combining vivid acidity with refined, closely woven tannins. Sandalwood, licorice and graphite add depth before an energetic, long and finely poised finish.
Roagna Pajè 2017 Barbaresco 750 mL
$299.99Rose petals, red cherry and cranberry lead a restrained but finely detailed bouquet, joined by tobacco, dried flowers and warm spice. The palate is silky and light-footed, with vibrant acidity and fine, sandy tannins giving shape to the delicate fruit. Mushroom, leather and gravelly mineral notes emerge with air. Graceful rather than forceful, it finishes long and gently savoury, with dark berries, liquorice and a lingering earthy lift.
Robert Keenan Winery 2022 Chardonnay Spring Mountain District
$42.99Citrus, ripe pear and green apple lead, with white peach emerging as the wine opens. Lees ageing brings gentle richness and complexity, while the absence of malolactic fermentation preserves a crisp, focused line. A touch of toast returns on the medium-bodied finish. Serve moderately chilled with roast chicken, grilled halibut, crab cakes or creamy vegetable dishes.
Robert Perroud 2020 Pollen Brouilly
$37.99Blackberry and spice lead a rich yet composed red, with the structure already well integrated into its dark fruit. The palate is generous but not heavy, shaped by fresh acidity and a savoury mineral line that carries through the finish. Serve slightly cool with roast chicken, pork tenderloin, grilled sausages, charcuterie, lentil dishes, mushrooms or hard cheese.
Robert Perroud 2023 Terres Blanches Beaujolais-Villages Blanc
$29.99Delicate and refreshing, with grapefruit, white peach and bright citrus at the centre of a clean, poised profile. The palate stays light on its feet, balancing ripe fruit with a fresh, gently textured feel and a neat finish. Serve well chilled with roast chicken, grilled fish, fresh cheeses or vegetable dishes; it is equally comfortable as an elegant aperitif.
Robert Weil 2018 Kiedrich Gräfenberg Riesling Auslese
$129.99Intense ripe apricot, peach and mango set a generous tone, but the palate stays remarkably precise. Bright acidity cuts through the concentrated fruit, while lemon zest, mint and a salty mineral edge add definition. Lush yet poised, it finishes fresh, piquant and exceptionally long, with ample energy for further development.
Robert Weil 2020 Riesling Trocken
$54.99Fresh citrus and a subtle slate note shape a precise, understated nose. The dry palate is vivid and well proportioned, with light-to-medium body and clean acidity giving the wine an easy sense of movement. Balanced and complete rather than showy, it finishes with calm mineral definition and suits shellfish, river fish or simple vegetable dishes.
Roberto Henriquez 2020 Rivera del Notro Blanco
$44.99Floral spice and ripe citrus lead a savoury, lightly textured white with pineapple, cucumber and a faint meaty note. Equal parts Moscatel, Chasselas and Semillon are fermented separately, with skin contact adding granular grip and depth. The palate stays light, dry and balanced, finishing with green pepper, broth-like complexity and clean mineral austerity. Serve with shellfish, ceviche or roast vegetables.
Robin Ridge 2016 Frigate Meritage
$44.99Stewed blueberry and blackberry give this mature red a generous, dark-fruited core, while peppercorn brings a savoury edge. The palate feels rich and settled, with the softened fruit profile pointing to development rather than sheer freshness. Rounded and warming in style, it suits slow-cooked dishes and other robust flavours at the table.
Robin Ridge 2018 Collage Meritage 750 mL
$31.99Clove-spiced stewed cherries, mulberry and prune lead, joined by dried violet and vanilla. The palate is firmly structured, with dark fruit moving into roast mushroom, leather and a savoury pastry-crust note. Paprika and earth bring warmth through the centre, while the tannins remain purposeful. Layered and mature, it finishes long with spice, leather and an earthy, rustic edge.
Robinsons Brewery x Iron Maiden Trooper Fear of the Dark English Stout
$4.99Dark roasted chocolate leads this full-bodied English stout, backed by roasted malt and a smooth, substantial texture. The palate stays rich without becoming elaborate, letting the grain’s deeper cocoa character carry slowly through the finish. Serve cool with roast beef, steak-and-ale pie, aged cheddar, smoked mushrooms, chocolate cake, bread pudding or a traditional Sunday roast.
Roca Patrón Añejo Tequila
$174.99Vanilla, ripe fruit and warm spice rise first, followed by a lift of fresh citrus. The palate is velvety and composed, with sweet agave depth balanced by light ginger and black pepper. Oak sits quietly behind the fruit rather than dominating it. The finish is smooth and measured, carrying citrus oil, vanilla and a gentle peppery warmth.
Rocca delle Macìe 2019 Famiglia Zingarelli Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG
$42.99Bitter cherry and black raspberry lead, joined by plum, tobacco and a subtle ferrous note. Generous yet composed, the palate layers ripe fruit over firm, cedar-edged tannins, with fresh acidity keeping the wine lively. Savoury spice and a light espresso bitterness shape a dry, persistent finish with distinctly Tuscan restraint.
Rocca Di Montegrossi 2008 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico
$134.99Warm amber tones frame a complex bouquet of cherry liqueur, dried fruit and balsamic herbs. The palate is velvety and fresh, layering melted caramel and hazelnut with mint, flowers and gentle spice. Richness and natural acidity remain finely balanced through the persistent finish. Serve in a small pour with foie gras, blue cheese or almond pastries.
Rocca di Montegrossi 2015 Vigneto San Marcellino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione DOCG
$92.99Bright ruby in colour, opening with raspberry, ripe cherry and plum, followed by violet, fine toast, leather and herbal spice. Dense and full across the palate, it balances vibrant acidity with decisive yet elegant tannins. Mineral and savoury notes add definition, while a light cocoa nuance lingers through the long, harmonious finish.
Rocca di Montegrossi 2018 Geremia Toscana IGT
$109.99Sour cherry, currant and wild berries open with vanilla, licorice and dark chocolate. Full and structured, the palate layers blueberry, blackberry, lavender and scorched earth over lively acidity and velvety tannins. Freshness keeps the depth controlled, while savoury herbs and warm spice extend the finish. Serve with roast lamb, braised beef or porcini.
