SC Pannell Dead End Tempranillo 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

Bright and crunchy with cherry pips, cranberry and drops of boysenberry that shine through along with some trademark Sangiovese dusty tannin, and crispy acidity

Carlotta Sangiovese 2023

Super fresh, clean, and golden. Be cautious who you share a 10-pack with, you might find yourself enduring exaggerated and meandering tales of sporting ‘triumphs’. Don’t worry though, the beer is crispy fresh, delicious and pours a lovely colour which you can distract yourself with.

Love Shack Draught 375ml

Cool, sunny day southern Italy vibes complete with lifted aromatics, sweet nutty spices and some stylistically typical tannins that come through a little bricky. All those layers are wrapped in boysenberries and cherries. Perfect in a carafe between you and the last slice of pizza, while supporting your favourite Italian football (soccer) team.

Carlotta Rosso 2024

Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay 2023

Cassis flavours and bright with dense virid leaves and elderflower blossoms dotted throughout and some ripe citrus. It’s a cornucopia of flavours that goes perfectly with a splash of (flavoured?) tonic over ice, or a spritz of your creation – we suggest something with a little bitter lemon.

Saison Aperitifs Blackcurrant Leaf Amaro

Another reason to fall for Lambert. Get ready for briney olive tapenade, peppery meats, and a pliable tannin that never distracts you from all the blue fruits and boysenberry. A fantastic gifting wine and Shiraz for all if there ever was one.

Lambert Crudo Shiraz 2024

The prettiest Cuvee in Phillipe’s array. Roses and berries are brushed with sandstone pumice tannins. There’s also a fine woven acidity and more strawberries that are layered with green herbs. Truly delicious.

Phillipe Viet Regnie Haut Ronze Mozaique Gamay 2023

A tumble of fresh cut apples and pears with some lovely chamomile lift to the aromatics. Floral, fresh and pure fruited to have you eating up bowls of broccoli pasta with even more joy.

Ca'Rugate San Michele Soave Classico 2023

Galognano La Foresta Chianti Colli Senesi 2022

Who’d have thought… Sangiovese plus Merlot and Sagrantino can equal a Gamay-like wine. When it’s light and delicate thanks to a favourable growing season and the vines being at altitude. Unique and lovely.

Beulah Violetta Stesso Stesso Rosso 2023

Alla Costiera Bianco Costiera 2023

A melange of 12 clones from 7 parcels within the same vineyard making for a complex Pinot with opaque aromatics. Flavours are rose and earthy with a little pepperberry and saline. Brilliant tonight, but will also age well if you’re patient.

Siren Wine High Priestess Pinot Noir 2022

Light and delicate. There’s a lot of subtlety and nuance here and everything runs pure thanks to most fruits being destemmed and only a week on skins. It’s chilled red with an undertone of earthiness that’s alive with strawberry and pomegranate.

Siren Wine The Empress Pinot Noir 2023

We all know how much everyone loves Chablis, that tensile, crisp saline number from the North of Burgundy. So how about taking a walk on the wild side with Ashleigh Barrowman, an exciting young producer from NZ, making wines inspired by the Loire and Jura and this Chenin is electric with energy and pulsing with citrus and saline-laced minerals.

Siren Wine Queen of Cups Chenin Blanc 2023

Texture and a clean, talcy feel that’s flowy with white nectarine, lime and passionfruit flowers. There’s some versatility here meaning it’ll handle spicy food very well and elevate packet dumplings into fine cuisine.

Galafrey Dry Grown Reserve Riesling 2023

Rich with earthy fruits and soft with raisins on the edge, it all tastes as if pressed into leather. This’ll come into its own this winter, but with the weather being so… undecided, you won’t have to wait long for a cool night to enjoy it.

Luzador Los Andreses Tinto Grenache Tempranillo 2022

Grown on limestone and clay before 3 months on lees for a pillowy expression that’s full of florals and kept fresh with some nectarine notes and a little spice. Any excuse to drink Soave is a good one. Enjoy with one and a half bowls of pasta broccoli.

Mainente Pigno Soave Classico 2023

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.
