Frederic Berne Morgon Corcelette Gamay 2021

Lilly keeps bringing the stick back because you're drinking this amazing Pinot and she’s as drawn to all the blackcurrant, bramble herbs notes as you are. Deliciously savoury.

Shelter Lovely Lilly Pinot Noir 2021

A great mountain Neb for everyone. Cradling tannins, textural appeal, and a very classy-looking bottle. The expression here is pure and smooth with cherry, herb and the kind of aromatics indicative of the vineyard being in one family for over 350 years.

Tenute Sella Orbello Coste Della Sesia Nebbiolo 2022

Candy apple and a pulse of red currant, or grenadine – either way it’s on the money. This is a boogie wine that you will want to chill, time in the fridge will free up all those fresh raspberry flavours that pour like the juice of a velvet-laced strawberry icy pole.

Scion M Town Dry Skin Contact Muscat 2023

Thank you Koerner! Full of lively aromatics and flavour-some boysenberry, grenadine and salted plum skin. It’s a complete no-brainer for any holiday get-together so grab as many as you can carry.

Parco Gamay 2024

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

10 days in carbonic for just a little poppy mouthfeel. You’ll love all the deliciously juicy flow that seems coiled in a bendy twig of herbs. Chouette is Parisian for cool – seems relevant with Romain.

Romain Le Bars Nouveau Nez Grenache Cinsault 2023 NFD

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

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

Farmed by Te Mata in NZ's Hawkes Bay region, this is a medium-weight and fresh example of Cab Franc that would be very at home at a barbecue. Brambly berries, violet, stony minerals and a light leafy herbal note with dusty tannins.

Amen Break Backbeat Cabernet Franc 2021

Dark currants and wild raspberry sweetness is moored with an edge of whole bunch savouriness and spice, woven through long and fine tannins. If you can bear to wait, this will only get better over the next five years.

PHI Lusatia Park Pinot Noir 2019

This one's crunchier than previous vintages but still brimming with red and dark cherries on the nose. One large margarita pizza served al fresco please!

Fighting Gully Road Sangiovese 2023

In the glass, expect some autumnal leaves and velvety fine tannins spreading nicely across the palate, with a lick of meaty oak lending some chew and a savoury, structural edge to the wine.

Rob Hall Pinot Noir 2023

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

Pagan Apple Cider

Predominately Pinot Noir, this year's iteration is richer and more opulent while retaining its balanced freshness. A little heathered honey, with layers of strawberry mousse, red apple skin and a nice jolt of citrus oil zing, with a low dosage at 3.5g. This release is based on the 2020 harvest, with 15% coming from the Lubiana reserve wine program.

Stefano Lubiana Brut Reserve NV

Right in the drinking slot. Fruit is from the bayside of the peninsula and is full of refinement and class. Drinks like a dream of cascading berries falling onto granite rocks at the base of the falls.

Montalto Tuerong Single Vineyard MUSEUM RELEASE Pinot Noir 2017

Amazing with anything mushroomy – from fricassee, to risotto and the classic aussie steak sauce. Merlot has a new lease on life here with a zingy undercurrent of acidity that'll cut through all the creamy, buttery goodness of those dishes and you leave in earthy love. There’s also plenty of fruit – mulberry – so feel free to pour it next to a cheese board as well.
