Jayden Ong – a siren that ushers flavour, dare and skill. 2022 in the Moonlit Forest is all about amaro edges, redcurrant and blood orange juiciness. There’s a good amount of bitter snap too – sounds like a little bit of the maker’s charm went into the wine.

Moonlit Forest Spring 2022

Grown in one of our favourite Yarra Valley subregions, Dixons Creek, this is a cool climate-styled Shiraz that’s full of true-to-style dark fruits like violets and dark plums, whilst still being easy-drinking in the Bistro way – just like that inspiring Syrah we loved in the Rhône Valley too long ago.

BISTRO Shiraz 2022

Wonderfully aromatic, notes of bright red damson plum meet red cherry and raspberry to draw you further into the glass. Sitting prettily amongst dark forestal fruits on the flavour spectrum, with hints of woodland spice, fresh acidity and light touches of whole bunch sap, before late building tannin. Pretty, elegant and the perfect bottle to open at your next French bistro-themed dinner party.

BISTRO Pinot Noir 2022

If it were French, they’d call it vin de soif style Pinot Noir, meaning it’s a thirst-quenching delight that’s for drinking now at the park with a modest cheeseboard, rather than out of a decanter you can’t bear to watch others handle. So expect fun flavours, like cherries and berries wrapped in sheer tannins and acidity. Perfect, just as it is.

Idiom Pinot Noir

It’s just like Yeats said, in dreams begin responsibilities. Well, we say if you're going to be a responsible dreamer… dream with a beautifully pretty Pinot that’s full of red currants, florals, and some classy oak derived spices, that culminate in a beautiful fan of tannin.

In Dreams Pinot Noir 2023

Gill Estate Rivah Tempranillo 2021

We sent some of our retail staff to Latta and they came back going on and on about this Grenache which was still in barrel at that point, but wow. It’s all grown up now, and into a thought-provoking, delicious wine that’s full of strawberries, sweet spice and candied fruit.

Latta Presence Grenache Early Release Shays Flat 2023

Plucked from red soils and fermented mostly destemmed, but all as one ferment. It’s Classic Yarra flightiness and lift right here. That means florals and flavour that have a nice concentration, plus balanced oak and subtle bunchy spice with tannins that build and expand into (and beyond) your second glass.

First Foot Forward Pinot Noir 2023

Some parents make their macaroni crowns or let them finger paint. Bindi blends delicious red blends for their children. It’s like drinking masterful Pinot, just with some weight-bearing silk and lithe which gives all the red fruit heaps of delicious, loving, glide. Made with a delicious blend of Merlot, Shiraz and Malbec.

Dhillon Glenhope Accidental Red 2024

Syrah drinker appropriate meaning it’ll be play nice with the entire family no matter what the occasion that’s brought you all together. Has some good pepperberry spray and a nice amount of blue fruit juiciness that’s so moreish. Love it.

Hunter Gatherer Shiraz 2022

Yet another stellar wine from Mr JP Trijsburg which by this point, is completely unsurprising. A slinky, central Victorian Pinot Noir that's light and delicate in the glass, with a wash of vermouth like character and a grounding savoury feel.

Jean Paul Trijsburg Petit Pinot Noir 2024

Jean Paul Trijsburg Carmenere 2022

We’ve been waiting for this and you’re going to love all the bright red fruits that come helixed in herbs, a dab of sap and some delicious bitter, amaro spice. Cheers.

Little Saint Pinot Noir 2022

Soumah – South of Maroondah so this wine’s all about place and optimising the conditions to come up with something that speaks for the year, with just a little bit of the winemakers’ inflection. Marzemino is traditionally a Trentino grape that’s robust and full of big, dark fruits, some lovely savoury tones, and chalky tannins. This nails that, but gives just a little Yarra brightness and approachability.

Soumah Single Vineyard Marzemino 2023

Fruits are sourced from the King Valley and Strathbogie Ranges, and carry plenty of slightly darker-for-Pinot flavours, while retaining buoyant and brisk acidity and a little minty fresh alpine-y edge. This is all value and leaves you a little to think about if you want to let your thoughts linger or drift.

Skye Ridge Pinot Noir 2022

Fits perfectly in your tumbler or carafe and suits your table cloth, and if you drink it on Nonna’s plastic-covered couch, you can theoretically spill without staining, but don't because it’s delicious! Also, she'll never forgive you. Has plenty of bright acidity and crunchy red fruits that will even make pizza better.

Soumah Nebbiolo Barbera 2023

One of our most inviting wines for Bordeaux and Syrah/Cabernet lovers. This is heaven at a BBQ, and has that moreish, sleek oak polish 99% of wine drinkers absolutely crave. Pure silk; but with tobacco and some plummy richness (thanks Malbec), which bulks up all the bright blueberries.

Eck Wines Pohlman's Creek Rouge Cuvée 2022

Need a sure thing that lets you know you're making all the right choices? Here it is with an unbelievable profile. Pours deep purple and has a weave of dark spices and star anise, plus some cassis and currants. Very French for Geelong, from those fruits to the acidity and unfolding effect you get as you drink. Absolutely cellarable.

Provenance Geelong SV Pinot Noir 2022

Well here that is, flowing with nothing more than delicate spices and savouriness that are outshined but that little ball of tannin and white pepper that we love in this Grenache. Grown on bush vines, and raised in seasoned oak for 8 months, great winemaking and farming allows this wine to just feel… right.

Paul Osicka Grenache 2023

The gateway Jasper Hill. Beware, the path to the bigger-sibling ‘Paddocks’ is paved with $100+ wines. These grapes are mostly from Colbinabbin, but blended with another Heathcote site. It’s delicate and full of smooth tannins and vibrant red plums, so everyone at the dinner table will feel the charm. Crimson! It pours crimson!
