ARC Maceration 2021

Tucked away in the pristine slopes of Friuli, Saša Radikon is continuing the work of his father, creating wines that have gained a loyal and committed following. From its experimental beginnings in 1995, Radikon is now one of the most influential producers of the natural wine movement, and their wines absolutely set the benchmark for how complex and compelling orange wine can be. These wines are wild, untamed and not for the faint of heart. Pinot Grigio grapes were destemmed and spent 10-14 days on skins (compared to three months for the 500ml wines) for a less intense iteration of orange wine, and a great introduction to the Radikon range. Aged in Slavonian oak for a year and a half on lees, and bottled without filtration.

A skinsy and delightful blend of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Noir and Savagnin. Textural and fresh with tangerine, spicy ginger and a hint of rosewater balanced by a chalky, savoury finish.

Arfion Fever 2021

It's the moment that so many of you have been waiting for: Esoterico is back! This iteration features a highly aromatic blend of Zibibbo, Gewürztraminer, Moscato Giallo and Greco with a splash of Chardonnay to fill out the palate. Expect the quintessential musky stick and rose petal floral notes that these varieties bring to the table, with a zesty mandarin finish and little hint of skinsy savouriness to keep things in order. Let the Esoterico hysterico begin!

Unico Zelo Esoterico 2021

Made from a blend of Gewürztraminer and Muscat hailing from Central Spain, undergoing six months of skin maceration. There's a lovely savoury tea leaf phenolic edge that helps to tame these highly aromatic varieties, along with some varietal sandalwood and exotic florals. This is a perfect fit for those looking to delve into the more savoury side of skin contact wine!

Bodegas Fontana Oveja Naranja 2019

Red fruit and orange citrus come together in this tart fruited wine, with just the right balance of acidity. A little hint of minerality rounds this one out nicely.

Gentle oxidative handling adds spice and savouriness to the palate where subtle notes of white cherry emerge.

A & C Ainsworth Rosé 2021

So when our old mate Josh Cooper found himself tasting through incoming fruit he made the decision to saignee (or bleed) some of the just fermenting juice off and make a truly delicious rose. This wasn't just any fruit mind you... It is Josh's long term growers Tristia and John Lakey who look after their Ray-Monde vineyard located on their mixed and regeneratively farmed property in Sunbury. Used well, the saignee technique is a win-win type deal as far as we're concerned... Josh slightly concentrates and builds depth in the ferments for his Ray-Monde pinot noir and we get a compelling, autumnal and thirst-quenching rose! Think poached forest berries, a shovel of turned earth for savoury tone and a pinch of tannin nestled in late to close out the wine. It's a compelling drink that in normal Josh Cooper style will have you reaching for thought-provoking adjectives as much as it will encourage you to use the next glass to wash down some sort of snacky cured vegetable or meat. Or better yet if you want to totally complete the 'when it grows together it goes together' loop try a bottle with Tristia and John's mildly spicy Merguez sausages.

Joshua Cooper Spring Rosé 2021

Delicious cantaloupe and apple fruits are met with notes of tomato leaf and an umami savouriness. This is sure to pique the interest of rosé fans and the rosé-curious alike! Spending time in the cellar and vineyards of Adelaide Hills legends Gentle Folk has resulted in some serious lofi genius from Takahiro Sugo.
