Proud Primary Produce Up The Mountain Fresh Red Pinot Shiraz Merlot 2022

We’re not sure why this is named after John McEnroe, although when Mr Arli came in for his appointment he was wearing shorts, and on the evidence of those legs, he’s absolutely a tennis player. Like a relaxed hit, or intense set, this is perfect on a still, summer afternoon and instead of dodgy line-calls, you’ll get murky tropical fruits and banana ester.

Arli Wines Riesling Plus Pet Nat 2024

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

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

If it sounds like it can’t miss… then it can’t miss. BYO eggplant parma–add a little soy to your marinade.

Giovanni Armani Giorgio Rosso Sangiovese Merlot 2023

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

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.
