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

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.

Piron Beaujolais Les Cadoles 2023

Very violety and full of the floral charm to backup all the red fruited substance, and a little nutty tannin. There's depth and savoury intent, this absolutely punching above it's $. Don't be scared to get a crust on that porterhouse, blanch some spring beans and ubereats in some maccas fries you'll have yourself a grand ól time!

Vine Mind Shiraz & Friends 2022

Full of raspberries, citrus and a little chalky rind structure to unleash at picnics where the people you’re sharing with will just be a smidge happier than those drinking something else.

Pittnauer Pitti Konig Rose 2023

Classic Yarra Pinot that’s made for us to celebrate all the YV Pinots we love. With all its strawberry, hibiscus, rose and poached rhubarb, this is a brilliant one-size-fits-all wine that can go solo, with a cheese board, or dinner. In the words of Byrne... You’ll guess you must be having fun.

This Must Be The Place Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023

Half Time starts with a good squeeze of juiciness, before some earthy Italian herbs and fresh spices come flowing in with that bitter amaro and the savoury finish we can’t get enough of. Delicious with some Middle Eastern comfort food, but also chips and afternoon footy.

Half Time Red 2023

Textured wax that plays like the best vinyl, smooth and hitting all the notes you want and a couple you didn’t even know about. From the honey blossom ripeness to the spritely, pithy, mineral feel that flows over the palate, this is one to come back for and to take BYOing.

Velich Welsch Riesling 2022

Bright, lifted blue fruits, spicy lined tannin and some chewy acidity – they might be some of the words you want to hear if you need a red for a BBQ. The fact that it's all savoury and chalky also means it’ll pair well with slow-roast lamb, blue cheese, and dark chocolate, so yes take it with you to that BBQ.

Higher Plane Time for Heroes Malbec 2023

Take this example that's leaning right into the midweight, aromatic style. In the glass expect lavender, cherry, red plum and a dab of fresh beetroot, with a lick of vanillan sweetness for a Shiraz that's easy drinking yet retains good fruit weight.

Cloudbreak Nouveau Syrah 2023

Think strawberries, but with some savoury sage and soft tannins to keep it all light and refreshing, but the structure’s there so every sip will invite a little thought, as well as tasty enjoyment.

Tim Smith Bugalugs Grenache 2022

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

A tiny, maman et papa Domaine that produces some of the best, old-vine Grenache in the region – vines are approaching 100 years in age. The result is a wine that’s bold with leathery plums, vibrant berries in the glass and savoury finish. It goes as well with beef as anything we offer.

Domaine de Ferrand Cotes du Rhone Mistral 2023

Delightfully easy drinking Monte that drinks without a care in the world, thanks to all the ripe, plummy flavours that are almost swimming in the glass. There’s also a nice, crisp minerality that makes it perfect with some Provolone or Ricotta.

Umani Ronchi Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2022

Exotic aromas, with a pretty flash of rose petal flow into a lively palate with notes of stone fruit and subtle hints of lemongrass and coriander root.

SC Pannell Protero Aromatico 2022

A generous, soft, and supple wine. Plum, ripe cherry, a spade-full of freshly turned earth and gentle varietal spice.

Blackhearts Gate Series Pinot Noir 2021

Timo Mayer has the ability to bring a smile to everyone he meets, and so does this wine. Autumn in a glass with its leafy notes and herby spice. If you close your eyes and play the tasting game, Cabernet and Shiraz never tasted so fun, and like our good friend Cabernet Franc.

Mayer Bloody Hill Rouge Cabernet Shiraz 2023

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

Super minerals, like the kind people fly to Iceland to bathe in. Okay okay, this won't get your skin glowing, but it will have you smiling thanks to all the crispiness that’s rounded out with a lil blackcurrant juiciness – trademark Mosel.

Karthauserhof Bruno Riesling Kabinett Feinherb 2020

Carlotta ROSSO 2024 Nero d’Avola Negroamaro Sagrantino

Very special, prized Grenache. 55 year old bush vines and a mostly whole bunch fermentation makes for a lot of silky refinement and class. Pours with a lot of pomegranate and that bitter, amaro-like snap we can’t get enough of. Perfect after a decant, tonight or years from now.
