Marty’s always been good at picking a partner for a duet. He and La Sirene have joint forces to ferment Roussanne grapes with Champagne yeast from the latter. That means savoury, citrus snaps for the Sour Beer people, some peach skins for Pét Nat peeps, and some very classy fizz and texture that elevates the entire experience. Look out Gotye and Kimbra!

Elmore x La Sirene Sparkling Roussanne 2024

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

To quote the producer... ‘It’s just the ease of it all.’ Marty’s a modest fella because there’s a lot of consideration and some smart winemaking that’s gone into this Vermentino. Consider his picking brilliant Tabilk fruit, fermenting for 7 days on skins and guiding the juice through carbonic maceration. It all adds up to brilliance and gives the profile a great blend of chamomile, honey and savoury freshness.

Elmore Vermentino 2024

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

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

Latta Ex Nihilo Skin Contact Pinot Gris 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

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

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

A Rodda Willow Lake Vineyard 2023

A Rodda Baxendale Vineyard 2023

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.

Kellybrook Edenesque Chardonnay 2023

From the grassy notes on the nose, to the good doses of cut tropical fruit on the palate that come through with a little rich, Lofi energy. It’s a park wine, any day of the week.

Lo Havoc BLANC Sauv Blanc 2024

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.
