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

A delicious blend of Fiano that saw four days on skins and whole bunch-pressed Pecorino has resulted in what can only be described as golden hour in a bottle. In the glass, expect floral jasmine and acacia alongside golden orchard fruits, touches of ripe pear and a luscious texture. A perfect match with prosciutto-wrapped melon, spicy Southeast Asian dishes or just a friend at sunset.

Parco Giallo 2024

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

Perfect, right down to the clean, delicious drive that’s bursting with green apple, citrus blossom, and a hint of honeysuckle. It gets along swimmingly with Campari and Aperol if you're feeling particularly spritzy.

Vino Aperto Prosecco King Valley 2024

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

Sauvignon Blanc with a bright point of difference thanks to 28 days on skins. Good things are happening at El’More right now and this is another approachable and amazing wine you should drink in the park. Flows with lime leaf, stone fruit and chalky grip.

Elmore Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Gill Estate Rivah Tempranillo 2021

Some delightful pear and honeysuckle comes through all refreshing and with the most faint amount of textural meal. This is a Grigio for the park, that’ll have you thinking of all the other Grigios you’ve loved.

Gill Estate Rivah Pinot Grigio 2023

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

What-a-Melon might form the basis of some unique and beautiful trade economy for Owen Latta. Fruit is from four growers (he’s one), that farm all over west/central Victoria before the fruit gets whole bunch fermentation and 9 months on lees. The result is a refreshing, delicious rosé that’s full of red fruit, watermelon rinds and impressive joy.

Latta What a Melon Rose 2024

Strawberries and cream in a bottle baby! 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

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

Supple and syrupy with all dried mango, cut pineapple and orange peel. A sweet tooth's paradise bottled, and one for wine lovers looking to pair with after-dinner sweets while wearing their pyjamas. (375ml)

Three Bridges Botrytis Semillon 2023

There must be some way out of here, take this rosé, a dry vessel, with rose oil, red currants, and just enough strawberries. Classic as a jangly guitar but without the cliched ostentation. We love it, we've been in love with Dhillon since our first sip, and we want to be forever. Timeless.

Dhillon ( Bindi ) Col Mountain Grenache Rose 2024

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

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.

Kellybrook Edenesque Chardonnay 2023

Here’s the post-lunch-or-dinner treat that wows. Made with an Iberian assortment of grapes to send almost syrupy mulberry, rhubarb, cacao nib, and liquorice straight to your heart, via your palate.

Stanton & Killeen Vintage Port 2015

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.
