We’re not sure why this is named after John McEnroe, although when Mr Arli came in for his appointment he was wearing shorts, and on the evidence of those legs, he’s absolutely a tennis player. Like a relaxed hit, or intense set, this is perfect on a still, summer afternoon and instead of dodgy line-calls, you’ll get murky tropical fruits and banana ester.

Arli Wines Riesling Plus Pet Nat 2024

Sooty and savoury with a black olive edge and some spices that’ll be there for you all through Spring and on cold Summer nights. Cheers to all the generous mulberry, plums and that little leafy, spiced oak. It’s literally the ‘jewel’ in our Merlot/Cabernet section, so if you like shiny rocks and you were meant for me, then I was meant for you.

Gioiello Estate Merlot 2019

Lifted, delicate, floral… if only we could find a creek with this running through it. The tannin is fine-boned, so be gentle. Great between bites of a deli-style sandwich on a park bench or picnic rug in whatever you can pour it into.

Gioiello Running Creek Pinot Noir 2021

Fresh and zippy Vermentino made with fruit from the Box Grove vineyard. Loaded with refreshing lemon and lemon verbena, with a floral edge and a line of dry acid driving the palate. Take this somewhere fun.
