This is a life-changing wine and one to gift someone generous – who will share it with you. The flow is like that song, Right Down the Line – cool and timeless with nectarine, citrus blossom and just a dab of richness.

Yeringberg Chardonnay 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

Fruit was fully destemmed and left in Slavonian oak for 18 months. The structure here is all about the fine bone delicate feel, bricky tannins and some ripe cherry. The tail is savoury and chalky, and while full of adventurous spirit. It's also a seriously lovely drop.

Alessandro Stefani La Vignola Sangiovese 2022

Dark currants and wild raspberry sweetness is moored with an edge of whole bunch savouriness and spice, woven through long and fine tannins. If you can bear to wait, this will only get better over the next five years.

PHI Lusatia Park Pinot Noir 2019

In the glass, expect some autumnal leaves and velvety fine tannins spreading nicely across the palate, with a lick of meaty oak lending some chew and a savoury, structural edge to the wine.
