Drink it cold and by the mouthful. Of course it will sip well, but we prefer it at a boogie between inspiring conversations while some house music thuds a joyously repetitive beat, which like the wine, is a little juicy and very fun.

Honkey Chateau Tankini Chilled Red 2024

Need a sure thing that lets you know you're making all the right choices? Here it is with an unbelievable profile. Pours deep purple and has a weave of dark spices and star anise, plus some cassis and currants. Very French for Geelong, from those fruits to the acidity and unfolding effect you get as you drink. Absolutely cellarable.

Provenance Geelong SV Pinot Noir 2022

Hello from the Eden Valley, your slightly cooler, more elevated region bordering the Barossa for those playing along at home. Drinks like a summer evening, complete with cooling, minty tannin (breeze) and a velvety fruit warmth that's rich and inviting. Feels like a red to sit with at the park over a couple of chapters, or some nice conversation.

Barr Eden Dreams of Gold Shiraz 2023

It's user-friendly Sangiovese so there's only a light coating of the dusty tannin the grape is known for. Expect plenty of earthy depth and an acidity that is pretty like a string of pearls. Fruits are all glossy and juicy raspberry, red apple and plush cherry.

Gudilly Sangiovese 2023

One of our most reliably loved, southern Rhône producers. Each bottle makes dinner a little more chic and adds some earthy spice and a juicy handful of cranberries, blood plums, cherries, and blue fruits. It’s bold in flavour but kept sensible with tannin.

Pierre Amadieu Cotes du Rhone Rouge 2022

Sooty and savoury with a black olive edge and some spices that’ll be there for you all through Spring and on cold Summer nights. Cheers to all the generous mulberry, plums and that little leafy, spiced oak. It’s literally the ‘jewel’ in our Merlot/Cabernet section, so if you like shiny rocks and you were meant for me, then I was meant for you.

Gioiello Estate Merlot 2019

Direct pressed Viognier, hand picked across multiple sites to achieve varying levels of acidity and flavour. The result is laden with green melon, subtle notes of apricot, some stone fruit and freshening acidity—deliciously fuller in weight, a.k.a a perfect winter white.

Tim Smith Viognier 2023

Like being in a lift with Chalamet or Mescal. They’d love a glass of your Shirazy-feeling Nero because you're Australian, but you have some euro charm. Blue fruits and oak spice at sunset are always perfect, you just wish it held the moment longer. If only life had an emergency button that kept you between floors, safe with Paul-othée.

Chalk Hill Small Batch Nero d Avola 2022

Sangiovese's varietal dusty tannins are bolstered by the Cab Sauv for a modern feel, with a splash of moreish salinity adding to the guzzle factor of the wine.

Poggio al Tufo Rampicollo Toscana Sangiovese 2022

From the pulpy, leesy texture to the honeyed richness that pours with just enough oxidative edge to impress a Jura mate. It’s got the goods when it comes to the savoury matters too, and will be oh so perfect with fish curries.

Oria-Riff Old Vine Semillon 2023

A really brilliant wine with plenty of value, and a tinto that’s perfect with a little carnitas or a Spanish-inspired grazing table.

Quinta da Devesa Douro Tinto 2019

All that time, knowledge and care comes through in the layers of fruit, tannin and spice that expose plum, blackberry, fig and a smidge of baking spice. One that’ll quickly become a reliable go to.

Bodegas Viña Elena Estancia del Silencio Monastrell 2021

Grown at above 800 metres, Mrs Peyton gets warm days and cool nights so the conditions allow for some dialling in. Undergoes MLF and matured in oak, you really get a balance of ripe fruit and moreish spice here. Sips are full of peach skin, stone fruit, grapefruit and a little buttery goodness.

Swinging Bridge Mrs Payten Chardonnay 2022

Lifted and aromatic on the nose before a layered and textural palate with fleshy raspberry, wild strawberry, and spice while remaining a fresher expression of the variety.

Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache 2022

Lovely aromas of plum, spice, and cherries - leading into berry fruits, a subtle oak character, and a silky mouthfeel.

Trentham Estate Pinot Noir 2022

Sourced from both family-owned and grower vineyards throughout the Barossa, including some that are the oldest in the region, this Grenache shows a real sense of place. In the glass, ripe strawberry and raspberry coulis are complemented by a little sage, saltbush and some lovely sandy tannins tightening it up before the nice and savoury finish.

Corryton Burge Grenache 2022

Wonderfully plush Malbec made with fruit sourced from SA's Langhorne Creek and Eden Valley. Lots of blue and black fruit at the fore, with some florals, cinnamon, nutmeg, and firm tannins that will stand up to a hearty feast or soften with some air-time.

Belmonde Malbec 2022

Loads of wine here for a very modest price tag. Boysenberry, blackcurrant, a little liquored plum & raspberry jam. The added complexity from oak brings touches of vanilla and spice. Impress your guests with a great wine at a great price, go on do it, we dare you!

Rockridge Shiraz 2018

Malo-richness offset by bright acidity. This seems made for cheeses – the gooier the better. Take it to the park at twilight and enjoy the first glass for its vibes while the sun’s still up and the wine is uber cool, then your second after it’s set, when that bit of richness will warm you.

Fervor Funka Riche Chardonnay 2022

You'll be rewarded with a beer boasting citrus aromas, grassy, pine-driven notes and a firm bitterness.
