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

Traditionally from the Friuli-Venezia regions in Northern Italy, here’s a fantastic local rendition of Verduzzo from Bobar. This is enveloping with some skinsy tannin richness, plenty of citrus peels and golden apple flavours that come through with cinnamon and sandalwood.

Bobar Orange Verduzzo 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're falling for Charles Oliver. Since meeting him a couple of years ago and deep diving into his wine repertoire, we've found brilliance. This Rosato uses Shays Flat and Landsborough fruit, and has plenty of salty tannins washing through all the candied red fruits, white pepper and layered herbs. Hi Charles.

Charles Oliver Rosato Grenache 2024

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

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

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

Thank you Koerner! Full of lively aromatics and flavour-some boysenberry, grenadine and salted plum skin. It’s a complete no-brainer for any holiday get-together so grab as many as you can carry.

Parco Gamay 2024

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

Juicy goodness that Lofi without being too Lofi. Pressed whole cluster and spends 72 hours on skins, it’s pithy, appley and citrusy in a way that makes you smile and want to eat. We recommend the park, a couch, or a house party as the ideal settings.

Greenhouse Knight Riesling 2023

Brini is someone we want to soak up every minute with its light pomegranate and early season strawberries and rosy hue. Don’t think it’s all fruit though because there’s a little fanning of peppercorn that comes through to add some oomph, and make it appropriate with light meats and anticipated meetups.

Lauren Langfield Brini Grenache 2023

Fluffy and softly red fruited with foamy, but still crunchy, red apples and just a little berry goodness, there’s some nice complexity here. It’s kept on lees to this day, so get ready for a lick of herby perfection. Shines at a house party and is radiant in the park.

Chalmers Col Fondo Sparkling Rosato 2021

If you weren't already pepped for summer, a glass of this will get ya right there! Made with a fruit salad of Italian varieties grown by the good folk at Chalmers, there's lots of moreish watermelon rind in the glass—we're talking the whole pink-to-white to-green spectrum—with pink grapefruit and plenty of fizz. If you need us, we'll be at the park with plenty of Positive Energy.

Positive Energy Pét-Nat Rosé Blackhearts x Chalmers 2023

Hints of cola and blackberry intermingle with dark cherry and pip, plum skin, and some savoury charcuterie, with sandy tannins and plenty of refreshment. Stake out the best spot on the couch, order yourself a pizza and open this—you'll be in for a VERY good night.

Delinquente Roko il Vagabondo Montepulciano 2024

This year's Screaming Betty is a little lighter than we saw last year, looking even fresher and more delicious than we remember. Fresh lemongrass, lemon-lime, green pear, and rock salt with a kick of white pepper spice.
