Drinks with almost a little pink peppercorn spice that’ll do perfectly with slow-roast lamb and mint jelly. There was some good time in oak and on lees so expect some smooth texture and a more aromatic nose which makes complete sense. Great value and super impressive.

Make your life just a little better! Picked from vineyards within Langhe before being split to ferment in large format oak and stainless steel. Glasses are full of forestal Nebbiolo fruit married to freshness of tannin and acid. We love what Nadia’s doing. Grazie.

Nadia Curto Langhe Nebbiolo 2021

A mix of young Nebb from Barolo vines and a nice share of Dolcetto come together for a lively palate of roses, herbs and earthiness that are all propped up with cranberry. Message a mate as you’re leaving the shop, dust off the decanter, and get ready for a perfect evening.

Nadia Curto L’informale 2022

A BBQ Pét Nat if there ever was one. Smooth strawberry and crunchy red fruits come together savoury and dry. Tell your parents it’s Shiraz and watch the confusion for a moment before they try it, then the smiles at their first sip. Don’t worry if they don’t love it, that just means there’s more for you.

First Foot Forward Shiraz Pet Nat 2023

Garnacha and Bobal, sing it out over the hilltops and feel the breeze hit you with all its red jube fruit and fine but firm tannins. Valencia is an especially delicious place so it’s no surprise what's happened here. It’s gonna be a great afternoon, especially if you break out the paella dish.

La Comarcal Del Moro Tinto 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

Some parents make their macaroni crowns or let them finger paint. Bindi blends delicious red blends for their children. It’s like drinking masterful Pinot, just with some weight-bearing silk and lithe which gives all the red fruit heaps of delicious, loving, glide. Made with a delicious blend of Merlot, Shiraz and Malbec.

Alain Chavy Bourgogne Blanc 2021

Syrah drinker appropriate meaning it’ll be play nice with the entire family no matter what the occasion that’s brought you all together. Has some good pepperberry spray and a nice amount of blue fruit juiciness that’s so moreish. Love it.

Hunter Gatherer Shiraz 2022

Vermentinu tends to have a little white-peppered depth and this follows that trend. Look out for fresh pear and lemon peels in that transfixing straw-yellow, and plenty of refreshing minerality.

Fritz ( Gunderloch ) Rheinhessen Riesling 2022

Think aromatic red berries, currants and fruits that are light on their feet but threaded with a contemplative amount of tannin. Our staff and regulars love it, and despite bringing in pallets of bottles, and being the only stockist in Australia, we can’t get enough.

Domaine Amirault Les Quateron Cremant de Loire Sparkling Brut NV

Sangiovese with a couple of friends, Collorino and Cannaiolo, who seemed to show up as soon as the water started boiling and the amount of pasta needed to be calculated. The three combine for amaro and blood orange juice running over terracotta with enough bright acidity to get through the host’s famous ragu.

Orsumella Chianti Classico 2021

Pours with plenty of green herbs, crunchy tart citrus and some sleek texture that makes for a little slip and glide. So if you are looking for a local but Loire Valley varietal wine, this is the best of both worlds.

Sylvain Longoureau Saint Aubin Villages 2022

24’s Riesling comes with concentrated lime, lemon thyme and citrus blossom. With subtle layers of coriander and lemongrass, gun smoke and autumn fruits. Put it on the table when you’re making a curry for instant cuisine elevation.

Ottelia Riesling 2024

Thirst-quenching and a little lip-smacking, take it to the park or plonk it on the dinner table. If you want to get fancy, polish a latte glass and jug and throw it in one then the other as needed. Italian Plastic know how to make good, fuss-free vino that quenches your thirst, makes your meal a little better, and lengthens your smiles. Bravo!
