Tart redcurrant, a hint of green capsicum and savoury whole bunch spice with gentle, well-integrated tannins.

Municipal Cabernet Franc 2021

Essential. Full of glossy pears so I asked my partner for a celebrity-branded lip gloss hoping for a fantastically named product I could use as a simile. She told me she doesn’t wear lip gloss and asked how I hadn’t realised that after eight years. The wine is excellent though.

Ottelia Pinot Gris 2024

Brewed with Pilsner (65%), Wheat (25%), and Crystal Rye (10%) malts, then fermented and aged in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay barrels. This golden sour has a round mouthfeel with a hint of brettanomyces and a deep lactic acidity that intertwines beautifully with the vinous notes from ageing in wine barrels. Complex, sour, delicious! (750ml) 7.0% ABV

Dollar Bill Learning to Breathe Golden Sour

This is part of Two Metre Tall's transition to completely spontaneous, wild fermentation. This Spelt Ale uses Tassie-grown spelt along with their very own farm-grown hops to make one unique beer. It undergoes spontaneous, wild fermentation before being bottle conditioned. (375ml) 6.2% ABV

Two Metre Tall Derwent Aromatic Spelt Ale

Fermented using yeasts that were captured from native flora, this sour ale is delicately effervescent and balanced with notes of Meyer lemons, fresh hops, and stone fruit. Can cellar for up to 5 years. (750ml) 5.0% ABV

Wildflower Gold Australian Wild Ale #45 2024

When Ashley & Jane Huntington discovered the Griggs family at Lucaston Orchards in the Huon Valley were still growing the famous old English cider variety, Sturmer Pippin, that was all the motivation we needed to produce a traditional, unfiltered, bottle fermented farm cider made using only apples and wild microorganisms. (375ml) 7.5% ABV

Two Metre Tall Huon Dry Apple Farmhouse Cider

Their wines always represent great value and a loved-by-all quality. This GSM pours a deep, crimson colour and is vibrant with dark red fruits and some good savoury spices. The tannins are plush and add a little length which we’re obviously all for, because we can’t get enough SoE.

Sons of Eden Kennedy Grenache 2022

This is what that person was drinking last week at the house party you went. Remember the one having an amazing, carefree time, who came in with some big energy and, like the wine, was layered with tropical fruit, some nougaty richness and a little green almond? Thanks F.S!

Frederick Stevenson Morbinos 2020

It feels like sitting at a cosy pub in late Autumn, early Spring and eating an amazing steak with peppercorn sauce while the AC fans warm air and that smell of cloves, leather and a fireplace (even though the fire’s not been lit in years) float through the air.

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah 2022

This a phenomenal wine that sings with some air time or rest in your cellar if you can bear to wait. A remarkable plot that translates into beguiling aromatics, mineral essence and laser-like focus.

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Riesling 2023

In their 21st iteration of Chardonnay, the crew at Woodlands have an amazing knack for making wines with entirely Wilyabrup Valley fruit that’s 100% spontaneously barrel fermented, so it speaks of the region and presents all its charm. There’s honeysuckle, orchard fruit and some healthy barrel spice, meaning it's a dinner Chardonnay.

Woodlands Wilyabrup Chardonnay 2022

This could be the perfect match for your Middle Eastern feast of falafels, hummus, baba ghanoush and chickpeas. With its early-picked fruit and skin contact, there's a fresh acidity and a savoury lemon-laced chalky pith and grip, plus a lick of cinnamon quill and sandalwood spices.

Momento Mori Fistful of Flowers 2023

A powerful expression of Shiraz with enveloping dark chocolate, purple fruits and a shovel of fresh, turned earth. Mouth-coating tannins follow on the palate, adding depth and structure to this warming Shiraz. This is the bottle you'll want to reach for when the next cold night rolls around.

Paul Osicka Majors Creek Shiraz 2022

Absolutely a wine for every white wine lover, from the most dedicated Chardonnay devotees, to those who are still on the fence about the grape. Fermented in new oak and MLF, has some lovely spicy chew. Feels made to pair with cheese boards and friends at twilight.

Lobenthal Road Bacchant Chardonnay 2023

This is all Roussanne and Sauvignon Blanc, and it smells like an Australian forest, complete with dandelion and bees flowers – amazing, obviously. There are also a couple of aromatic, talcy tricks and a nice savoury, looser-edge profile.

Fin Dandelions and Bumblebees Roussane Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Black olives and blue fruits meet saltiness and a butcher's block. Great things are happening in the Pyrenees. It’s a multi-generational Shiraz that the entire family will love at your next reunion. Winemaking is hands-off in principle which speaks volumes of the grapes, again.

Dalwhinnie LDR Shiraz 2022

Vibrant on the nose with plenty of floral and cassis notes and juicy in the glass with some sappy tannin rounding out on the palate. If you're planning a night in you need this wine.

Deep Woods Cabernet Franc 2023

A Cab Sauv dominant blend with a splash of Merlot and Malbec making up the balance. In the glass, lovely and vivid boysenberry intermingle with ripe tannin for a supple and textured wine. Delicious.

Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Cabernet 2021

Get the decanter out, and please swirl, a little air will really open up all the deep Lenswood oomph. Sips are full of dark berries, autumnal bliss, earthy spice and clean acidity.

Field Walk Pinot Noir 2023

Aged in Australian red wine barrels (a mix of Shiraz, Cabernet, and Pinot Noir) for three years. Fruity and full with red berries, vanilla, caramel, and soft oak spice. (700ml) 41% ABV
