Super structural thanks to all that oak and trademark Margaret River Gingin – a Chardonnay clone that kills it in Margies. So, yes, you can still expect the spice and salt, but you get amplified, vibrant nectarine, peach skin and a squeeze of citrus too.

Deep Woods ESTATE Chardonnay 2023

Hits the strawberry notes but delivers depth through crispy red apple peels all of which seem dipped in just a pinch of sweetness which is no surprise when considering the dosage is a little higher. Don’t worry, it keeps fresh throughout and is great value.

Highclare Estate Sparkling Blanc de Noir 2023

Dark raisin fruits and mulberry jubes, this is soft and open so all are welcome. You’ll get to taste some nutty tannin and enjoy a light breezy lift. Yes, you should bring it to a BBQ.

Jean Paul Trijsburg Malbec 2021

A wine you can come in and grab when work issues are all too present. Every note plays subtle here, from the candied florals, cherries and that smidge of oak chip which irons out all the texture.

Richland Pinot Noir 2022

The Seven Summits would be a brave journey, but before you even start planning, sit back and enjoy a Shiraz Touriga from the Clare. A fruity flourish with a bit of decadence through black and blueberries that come draped over tannin and spice.

Seven Hill Brave Journey Shiraz Touriga 2022

A fresh take on Grenache that’ll garner even more fans, so it’s perfect for dinner parties. Full of bright red fruits, candied strawberries and glacé cherries in bright, crunchy mouthfuls. It’s yum and great for Pinot drinkers, but with enough oomph and tempt Syrah lovers too.

Seven Hill Indigo Grenache 2022

Dark and inky but forget the Kraken! We're talking smooth Shiraz here that's got multigenerational appeal thanks to some salted plum burst and a soft, round palate. Brilliant anytime the mercury dips below below 25.

Scarpantoni Shiraz 2021

Grenache Shiraz is iconic round these parts and here’s a wine that pulls its weight. With milk chocolate-covered cherry flavours, there’s a lovely development into some richer Shiraz. Tannins are pronounced and add dimension and complexity.

Madfish Grenache Shiraz 2022

Blanched almond and white stone fruit, it’s the fish who are mad that we love, mad to swim, mad to be the namesake of a brilliant bottle of wine; who never taste commonplace, but drink drink drink with textural glide and conjure comfort.

Madfish Chardonnay 2023

Originally a grape from Bordeaux, Carménère went missing for a while before turning up in Chile; and now in Heathcote. This has the trademark bold body and shows plenty of charred red capsicum flavours and some rich, dark sooty tannins.

Jean Paul Trijsburg Carmenere 2022

Rich preserved lemon and spice. Textures come in so many shapes and sizes, and here the pour and stir with apricot pip and under ripe peach flavours. Good and thought-provoking, and a little exotic.

Chalmers Mother Block Skin Contact White 2023

A full, wild fermentation of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that took place in large format oak and leaves you with plenty of grapefruit snap and tart strawberries in the glass. It’s a great lunch sparkling and will do well with quince, cheese and chatter.

Moondarra Holly's Garden Uberbrut NV

This year the fruit is from the Coal River and we are loving it! Tensile and freshly fruited with just enough oak. There’s texture to make all the white peach and nectarine feel almost visible, and it’s all smooth thanks to some driven vanilla cream notes.

Stoney Rise Coal River Valley Chardonnay 2024

Gorgeous with punnets of raspberry and plenty of plucked strawberries on show, but with plenty of tangy tannins that are leafy, herby, and wrapped up so nicely. If all that’s not enough, consider some lasting depth too.

Scintilla Mountain Pinot Noir 2023

Fresh green apple, fresh and clean style, packaged well, This will happily hang out with Campari and other beautiful, but dominating mixers, but go solo for the full flavour.

Alpino Prosecco Glera NV

Chrismont La zona Riesling 2022

Oily citrus with lots of bitter lemon and a smidge of hay seed, with fresh acidity that strikes the refreshing chord like... Chopin play a C Major, but with just a little masteral flare – mineral essence that adds to the dryness.

Latitude 32 Casurina Single Block Semillon 2023

Fits perfectly in your tumbler or carafe and suits your table cloth, and if you drink it on Nonna’s plastic-covered couch, you can theoretically spill without staining, but don't because it’s delicious! Also, she'll never forgive you. Has plenty of bright acidity and crunchy red fruits that will even make pizza better.

Soumah Nebbiolo Barbera 2023

You have some ripe citrus and apple blossom to look forward to that pushes through with just a grain of sweetness, but plenty of chalky bitter lemon aromas.

3 Drops Riesling 2024

Need a sure thing that lets you know you're making all the right choices? Here it is with an unbelievable profile. Pours deep purple and has a weave of dark spices and star anise, plus some cassis and currants. Very French for Geelong, from those fruits to the acidity and unfolding effect you get as you drink. Absolutely cellarable.
