Sweet red currants and wild herbs wrapped in a thin sheet of leather. Smooth, flowy and held together with just enough tannin and a lingering raspberry tart note. Bring it to your next barbecue and enjoy.

Finca Las Moras Organica Malbec 2023

Ripe, weighty apples and blackcurrant fruits. Yum. Mesta always delivers and this is no different, there’s a chalky tannin finish and at the price, it’s reliable and tasty every night.

Mesta Rosato 2023

Kumeu Village Pinot Gris 2023

Mesta Grenache 2022

It’s great when we spot a value-laden Pinot that delivers on that light profile but gives something to think about. Full of sweet Maraschino cherry, bright fruits and drying acidity. Take as many as you can carry. Don’t forget, we have baskets.

Stonehaven Stepping Stone Pinot Noir 2024

Fresh Rosé that’s fluent in freshness thanks to all watermelon and strawberry notes with a paper-thin slice of cantaloupe. One to drink in Fitzroy Gardens while the bats make their nightly flight west.

La Ptite Pierre Rose 2023

Lovely and fresh with a nice perfume and red cherry pips that pour coiled in chalky tannins. Actually, this may be the cheapest, and best, box of red cherries you'll enjoy this summer.

Carlin de Paolo Monferratto Dolcetto 2023

Rich and juicy with boysenberry, mulberry that feels like laying on a rich, comfy shag-pile of tannin. There’s a handful of lavender in there too, and a little punnet of plums and blue fruits.

Stonehaven Stepping Stone Malbec 2022

All the saints bring a Rutherglen Super Tuscan to their heavenly BBQs because of the ripe red currant flavours that are flecked with dusty herbs. These go perfectly with grill marks. They also go down smooth, so if you find yourself chatting to a punish, you can scull what’s left, say you need a refill, and run – always have an exit strategy.

All Saints Sangiovese Cabernet 2024

Early-picked style means driven herbs and a slightly lighter palate. It’s an invitation to go over the recommended 150mls. It’s a Gamay-lovers Cab. Franc, right down to the vibrant red fruits and crab apple that'll brighten your night.

St Leonards Cabernet Franc 2023

22 Degree Halo Rose 2023

Bodriggy Speccy Juice 355ml (can)

Mostly Sangio, some Syrah and a splash of Pinot. It may seem a little random yes, but it’s a winner thanks to all the robust raspberry and cherry friendliness that’s lounging under a comfort blanket of soft bricky tannin and gets even better with a chill.

Arli Wines LRW Sangiovese Blend 2024

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

Konpira Maru Gymkata Syrah 2024

Not every grape needs to shout with big notes and textures, some are happy being subtle and bright with their raspberries and pomegranate. This also has depth through slightly raspy tannin coiled in gentle verdant herbs.

Yering Farm Traitors Gate Pinot Meunier 2022

Pours with a coppery hue but leaves any elemental vibes in the lab. Onannon have taken us on many delicious voyages over the past few years and with all the apples and a little peach fuzz, this is pure joy, but it also has the texture – phenolics, lemon pith and salinity – to be thought-provoking with its layers.

Onannon Mornington Peninsula Pinot Gris 2024

Coonawarra Cabernet, it's iconic and the winemakers at Balnaves have been producing unbelievable vintages for years. This Cab. Merlot is dials up the approachability and is a sure fire hit at a family dinner. it If you want to flex a little wine knowledge, it's full of cassis and some herby depth, and pencil shavings.
