Hunter Gatherer Shiraz 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

Bright and crunchy with cherry pips, cranberry and drops of boysenberry that shine through along with some trademark Sangiovese dusty tannin, and crispy acidity

Carlotta Sangiovese 2023

Hunter Gatherer Riesling 2023

Propping all that fruit up is some nice cashew, pulled warm bread and lemon rind. There’s a lot of drive and power here, but it’s never overwhelming.

Deep Woods Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2023

Like rolling/sliding down an icy hill on a lemon that needed another couple of days – are lemons just meant to drop? It’s not tart, there’s lime leaf and lees for breath and texture. So perfect with cos lettuce, bagna cuada and comte in the afternoon.

Babche Farmers Fizz Pet Nat 2024

A full wild fermentation that took place in large format oak and leaves you with plenty of grapefruit snap and tart strawberries in the glass. It’s a great lunch wine and will do well with quince, cheese and chatter.

Moondarra Holly's Garden Uberbrut NV

There’s texture to make all the white peach and nectarine feel almost visible, and it’s all smooth thanks to some driven vanilla cream notes.

Stoney Rise Coal River Valley Chardonnay 2024

Some things play sweet, but the sweetness stays out of the way because your eye (and palate) is too busy loving all the big orange notes here, which dance with local botanicals— strawberry gum and lemon myrtle. Pour generously in a highball over ice. Yum.

Scintilla Apero Blanc Vermouth 2023

A mostly whole-bunch fermentation that shows off some skinsy Chardonnay, but with phenolic edges that are lifted by the Sauvignon Blanc with Swayze-like. When floating up there, you'll feel floral and citrus goodness, and a fresh-cut grass feel.

Scintilla Elektrik Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay 2023

Pulpy with a little oxidative edge. This drinks broad so a lot of people are going to love it, and find attractive flavours in every sip. Ripe apple is pretty consistent throughout, like a smile.

Scintilla River Balhannah Chardonnay 2023

Fermented entirely in stainless steel to let the Grigio take centre stage and taste just like how you want Grigio from King Valley to taste, with that stone fruit, some sublime pear, and gentle acidity.

Santolin Pinot Grigio 2023

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

From the guitarist, Matthew Aulich who was a founding member of Hobart band The Paradise Hotel, comes an annual hit that’s full of red frogs, red cherries and currants. It’s super good with a lazy summer evening pizza, and you can even put it in the fridge to dial up the refreshment.

Blood Moon Sang de Etoiles Sangiovese 2024

Pours with plenty of green herbs, crunchy tart citrus and some sleek texture that makes for a little slip and glide. So if you are looking for a local but Loire Valley varietal wine, this is the best of both worlds.

Gant & Co Sur Lie Sauvgnon Blanc Semillon

24’s Riesling comes with concentrated lime, lemon thyme and citrus blossom. With subtle layers of coriander and lemongrass, gun smoke and autumn fruits. Put it on the table when you’re making a curry for instant cuisine elevation.

Ottelia Riesling 2024

Full of value and midweek bliss, but with a nice bit of weekend class. It’ll impress the heck out of your parents at your next lunch, or become a regular favourite whenever you can get your hands on a bottle.

Woodvale Sharegarden Shiraz 2021

Palate bounces with nectarine and blond cashew that are all pulled along, playing with a little leesy texture after the curtain is drawn. Pour for intrigue, sip for love.

Crittendon Estate Gepetto Chardonnay 2023

Drinking this conjures up images of a crisp green apple peel, ribboning out of a peeler. There’s also a little green nashi pear and layers of refreshing pith, fresh acid, and white pepper that comes through with the mineral feels.
