Light and dry, but full of jubey fruit and berry flavours that taste better than the chemical-compound, squishy alternatives and might be cheaper than the punnets required to make an actual bowl of mixed berries at the moment. It’s a chilled red, so drink it when you’re chilling in the park, or when you want to keep refreshed while eating a roast chook.

Fin Le Vin du Rosier 2024

Ten for the nectarine and appley aromatics, plus ten for that smidge of bitter lemon that it finishes with. Ten because that’s how many full glasses you get which'll see you talking sweet nonsense with a crush before, during and after sunset. (1500ml)

Three's A Crowd Pinot Grigio

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

Offer up glasses of flowing, liquored berries, sweet cherries and some blackcurrant essence tonight to yourself or those lucky enough to be in your (and this bottle’s) company. Soft n plush with enough tannin to keep you engaged, even after the conversation has lulled and everyone’s on Insta.

Gudilly Shiraz 2022

Philosophers say that even in dreams, we create problems because we want something to overcome. I have this recurring dream where, despite pouring from a full 750ml bottle, I can’t fill up my glass with the 150mls I want which means I only ever get to enjoy just a sip of all the black currant cassis and tobacco a wine like this offers.

Gudilly Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

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

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

Brini is someone we want to soak up every minute with its light pomegranate and early season strawberries and rosy hue. Don’t think it’s all fruit though because there’s a little fanning of peppercorn that comes through to add some oomph, and make it appropriate with light meats and anticipated meetups.

Lauren Langfield Brini Grenache 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

Red raspberries, currants and cherries. There’s a sweetness and welcoming charm, but with an undertow of raspy tannin and energised acidity. Like the Kim Gordan and Thurston Moore combo, it’s about layers and discovery with deep twiggy spices, that seem rinsed in cola-nuttiness, there too.

Little Reddie New! Nebbiolo Refosco 2023

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

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

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

If you weren't already pepped for summer, a glass of this will get ya right there! Made with a fruit salad of Italian varieties grown by the good folk at Chalmers, there's lots of moreish watermelon rind in the glass—we're talking the whole pink-to-white to-green spectrum—with pink grapefruit and plenty of fizz. If you need us, we'll be at the park with plenty of Positive Energy.

Positive Energy Pét-Nat Rosé Blackhearts x Chalmers 2023

A little prickly Pinot that has a nettle-underbrush vibe to keep all the blood orange and potpourri on point. There’s also a savoury edge and spice. This one slips down if enjoyed alone, but it glides down with camembert and a lively conversation.

Fin Yay! Pinot Noir 2024

Hints of cola and blackberry intermingle with dark cherry and pip, plum skin, and some savoury charcuterie, with sandy tannins and plenty of refreshment. Stake out the best spot on the couch, order yourself a pizza and open this—you'll be in for a VERY good night.
