“a gem in a landscape of Liquorlands”
(Sydney Magazine, Jan 08)

At Five Way Cellars, we pride ourselves on the fact that we have never let a lack of space get in the way of stocking another good drop. And after 22 years in the business we think we know a good drop when we taste one!

A visit to our store in Five Ways, Paddington, reveals a vast array of the finest wines from Australia and overseas...more than 150 Italian wines alone. We have been at the forefront of introducing premium Italian wines to Sydney wine lovers since 1987. As well, you will find 40 varieties of Spanish wine and a discerning selection of wines from Burgundy, Alsace and Germany. Then there is the best Australia and New Zealand has to offer, with our passion for riesling, pinot noir and shiraz shining through. Indeed our store has become somewhat of a mecca for those wishing to seek out the “hard-to-find” and quality boutique wines.

“Best” need not equate with “most expensive” and we offer a selection that reflects both value and quality. Our staff offer the best advice in helping customers make the right choice. A delivery service is offered 6 days a week, free of charge to the metropolitan area for orders of one dozen or more.

Wine education in the form of in-store tastings and workshops to enhance our customers' enjoyment and appreciation of wine have become a hallmark of our business as have the many dinners held with guest wine-makers from Australia and overseas.


The Summer of Riesling

tasting invitation

The Summer of Riesling continues at Five Way Cellars, with a special tasting on Saturday 28 January from noon to 6.00 pm. This is a great opportunity to better your life through discerning Riesling consumption. The Riesling grape has a remarkable ability to reflect underlying terroir and a correspondingly diverse range of expressions. Whether powerful and dry or delicate and sweet Riesling can deliver purity of fruit, minerality, and an acid spine that will slowly melt into toast and honey with age. All this will be on display with over 20 wines from around the world on tasting. For your invitation and more information about the wines that will be available for tasting, please click here.

Robert Weill Dinner at Catalina Restaurant
Ian Cook of Five Way Cellars in collaboration with Wilhelm and Jocken Weil, invite you to dinner at Catalina Restaurant matched to the exceptional 2010 Rieslings from their esteemed Robert Weil Estate. Ian visited the Robert Weil Estate in 2010. It is his favourite estate in the Rheingau and a magnificent producer with which to promote Five Way Cellars “Summer of Riesling.” Click here for more details and your invitation.

Champagne - everything you need to know
“Champagne is on the verge of profound change. There is a growing realisation in the region that its viticulture has become slovenly and the subtleties of its terrior has been neglected. The era of great growers and great vineyards are just beginning.” – Andrew Jefford - The New France.

JJ Prum

Joh. Jos. Prüm is one of the world’s greatest Riesling producers and arguably the very finest Estate of the Mosel. If you accept that Ries­ling is the greatest com­mu­ni­ca­tor of vineyard personality (it is!) then the steep slopes of Graach, Wehlen, and Bernkastel must be amongst the most transparent vineyard sites in the world. They produce, in the right hands, some of the world‘s most captivating wines. They have a minerality and intensity that is often indescribable. They also have piercing aromatics and wonderfully pure, vibrant fruit flavours. Click here for details.

Sangiovese, chianti, falanghina, pinot grigio, prosecco, soave...all the Italian stars, including some fantastic value reds and a special selection from the Piedmonte region.

 

 

 


New sensations from the Spanish Armada Spring 2011

Having returned from a sensational 3 weeks in Spain earlier this year I can assure you the quality, depth and breadth of the wines has never been better. The vinous renaissance continues apace with the top producers making arguably their best wines whilst new discoveries abound from rediscovered regions with ancient varieties. Telmo Rodriguez and both Alvaro and Ricardo Palacios lead the way at the top with an array of exciting projects and wines across several regions. Garnacha and Tempranillo along with the rediscovered Mencia were highlights and we have good, great and profound wines at all price points from these three varieties. Many producers listed are now turning to organic and biodynamic methods and we have listed these accordingly. At the value end both the Elefante wines are not to be missed and provide great everyday drinking whilst in white wine both Castro Martin Alabarino and a new wine from Telmo ‘El Transistor’ Verdejo are exceptional. Please join us in this Iberian renaissance. Ole!

The Summer of Riesling is here – inspired by Terroir Wine Bar in New York – it is a celebration of our favourite white grape variety – a love affair that began with my Mum and Dad’s enjoyment of the wines of Leo Buring and Hock and continues to this day. February's brochure shows the best we have from Australia, Germany and France and includes some extraordinary wines as well as some great value Riselings for every day drinking.
