Colour and fruit in abundance for plenty of depth and a lot of super bright squishy berries that are kept savoury with just a pinch of aniseed-like spice. Serve it cool, not cold for the best of times.

Zig Zag Rd Folk Nouveau Sangiovese 2023

A purpose built chilled red. Who knew sweet florals, spices and vibrant fruits could pour with such refreshing crunch? Aside from the winemaker – Lauren Hansen, whom we'd like to thank for this gem formally. Absolutely delicious

Bloomfield Petit Verdot Chilled Red 2024

Charles Oliver Jus d'Amour Grenache 2024 Magnum

Slurpy red currants and cherries that are bright and floral thanks to a good portion of whole bunch fermentation. We recommend a chill if you want to hit the aperitif mood, but it’ll also be perfect with the meal you spent all day perfecting, especially if fish is involved.

Charles Oliver Jus d'Amour Grenache 2024

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

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

We’ve seen orange peels, wheels and wedges, but an orange dart is rare – well, not here. It’s hitting triple 20 every time and splattering sweet cherry juice everywhere for even more fun. There’s hardly any tannin here, it’s all delicious guzzle, right down to the refreshing acidity. One Hundred and Eighty!

Konpira Maru Square Root of 5 Sangiovese 2024

From the guitarist, Matthew Aulich who was a founding member of Hobart band The Paradise Hotel, comes an annual hit that’s full of red frogs, red cherries and currants. It’s super good with a lazy summer evening pizza, and you can even put it in the fridge to dial up the refreshment.

Blood Moon Sang de Etoiles Sangiovese 2024

Light and dry, but full of jubey fruit and berry flavours that taste better than the chemical-compound, squishy alternatives and might be cheaper than the punnets required to make an actual bowl of mixed berries at the moment. It’s a chilled red, so drink it when you’re chilling in the park, or when you want to keep refreshed while eating a roast chook.

Fin Le Vin du Rosier 2024

A little prickly Pinot that has a nettle-underbrush vibe to keep all the blood orange and potpourri on point. There’s also a savoury edge and spice. This one slips down if enjoyed alone, but it glides down with camembert and a lively conversation.
