Drinks with almost a little pink peppercorn spice that’ll do perfectly with slow-roast lamb and mint jelly. There was some good time in oak and on lees so expect some smooth texture and a more aromatic nose which makes complete sense. Great value and super impressive.

Eck Wines Sparkling Shiraz No1 2019

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

Ochota Barrels Fugazi Grenache 2024

Drink it cold and by the mouthful. Of course it will sip well, but we prefer it at a boogie between inspiring conversations while some house music thuds a joyously repetitive beat, which like the wine, is a little juicy and very fun. (1500ml)

Honky Chateau Tankini Chilled Red 2024 Magnum

Parco Gamay 2024

Super easy-drinking with white cherry and hints of fuzzy peach skin freshened with darts of tangelo-like acidity. This is summer drinking at it's finest!

Pool Balloon Rose Pet Nat 2024

A touch of blush goes well with a squeeze of strawberry and watermelon and a little spice. There’s red fruit too, so that’s body and shape which is always welcome but things are kept lean with some fresh acidity.

Cloudbreak Nouveau Sparkling NV

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

Each precious vessel gets 800 of litres of YV juice and comes out with a firmer, structural feel which is offset by some subtle grassy notes and enough citrus to keep things crisp. It’s an impressive local side-step for those Loire Valley blanc lovers out there.

First Foot Forward Amphora Sauvignon Blanc 2023

A BBQ Pét Nat if there ever was one. Smooth strawberry and crunchy red fruits come together savoury and dry. Tell your parents it’s Shiraz and watch the confusion for a moment before they try it, then the smiles at their first sip. Don’t worry if they don’t love it, that just means there’s more for you.

First Foot Forward Shiraz Pet Nat 2023

Violets and some tumbling true-to-Cab Franc greenery that’s kept red, in flavour, with wild plums – skins and all! Has all the Lofi jubey feels and can use a little chill to cool down that slow roast lamb you woke up at 7am to prep and put on.

Carto Wines Cabernet Franc 2022

Well isn’t this a bit fun? Especially with that little extra heft in the fruit that boldens the structure. If orange segments and pink berries give you a refreshing smile, then you should grab a bottle and head to the park. Never mind the weather, you’ll be shining.

Carto Wines PétNat Rosé 2022

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

A Rodda Willow Lake Vineyard 2023

A Rodda Baxendale Vineyard 2023

Taylor & Smith Whisky 500ml

Drink it cold and by the mouthful. Of course it will sip well, but we prefer it at a boogie between inspiring conversations while some house music thuds a joyously repetitive beat, which like the wine, is a little juicy and very fun.

Honkey Chateau Tankini Chilled Red 2024

Fresh and crisp with a dusting of blanched, almond richness to help fill out the story. Bring it to the park, or their house, with cheeses. The acidity will cut through everything nicely, even a delicious buerre blanc and scallops if you’re feeling fancy.

Delatite Higher Ground Chardonnay 2023

Pink grapefruit, lime, rockmelon, and plenty of delicate, fine-boned cashew-oak thread running through to spread some deliciousness joy. A great wine to buy when you don’t know which side of the Chardonnay fence they sit on.
