Alive with sweet, mixed berries and a sprinkling of herbs. Local Weirdos are always entertaining. We have some great memories – stares into the distance fondly – ‘ahhhh.’ Anyway, there are piquant edges, and it's loaded with fruity charms that jolt through the wine in a package that French Lofi / Soif drinkers will love. Can even get a petit chill.

Local Weirdos Big Valley Bombo Light Red 2023

A delicious blend of Fiano that saw four days on skins and whole bunch-pressed Pecorino has resulted in what can only be described as golden hour in a bottle. In the glass, expect floral jasmine and acacia alongside golden orchard fruits, touches of ripe pear and a luscious texture. A perfect match with prosciutto-wrapped melon, spicy Southeast Asian dishes or just a friend at sunset.

Parco Giallo 2024

Skinsy tannins, pithy chalk and mealy texture. Those are some great indicators of balance and structure. Throw in a stone fruit note and you're in for a good, thought-provoking time. Made with Chardonnay, Gris, Arneis and Riesling.

Konpira Maru El Pacu White Blend 2023

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

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

We’ve seen orange peels, wheels and wedges, but an orange dart is rare – well, not here. It’s hitting triple 20 every time and splattering sweet cherry juice everywhere for even more fun. There’s hardly any tannin here, it’s all delicious guzzle, right down to the refreshing acidity. One Hundred and Eighty!

Konpira Maru Square Root of 5 Sangiovese 2024

Like 2023’s edition, there’s a lot to love here and plenty of fresh flavours and a nice bit of skinsy, orange essence-driven tannin that keeps everything intact and vindicates your decision to drink it with a bag of chips, two friends, and a cheeseboard.

Fin Speedo Orange Pinot Gris 2024

Juicy goodness that Lofi without being too Lofi. Pressed whole cluster and spends 72 hours on skins, it’s pithy, appley and citrusy in a way that makes you smile and want to eat. We recommend the park, a couch, or a house party as the ideal settings.

Greenhouse Knight Riesling 2023

A delicious blend of Pinot Gris, Graciano and Sangiovese. Candy apple, red currant and raspberry come together with a lovely and leafy spiced edge and a smidge of tannin on the backend that can stand up to a meal.

Taschini Sunny Pinot Gris Sangiovese blend 2023

If she starts going on about her favourite Sparkling, which was the one she requested, just focus on the gentle sounds of the heavenly bubbles popping in your glass and know that there’s more for you. Tastes like lemon sorbet, but with an almost creamy texture.

The Other Right Bright Young Things Chardonnay Pet Nat 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 pretty package that’s full of contemplative flavours and textures. This is the ‘Outline’ by Rachel Cusk of our fridge, complete with a rich, process-driven tapestry where elements–dried apricot, spring wild blossoms and some grippy cinnamon–are revealed to you. It also shines at a potluck.

Azimut Brisat 2023

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

This carefully handcrafted wine boasts purity in spades and is overflowing with character and charm. Fruit for this wine came from a unique vineyard overlooking the Goulburn River, sitting on rich alluvial soils in an area that’s home to many retired volcanoes—Dane has told us more than once that the quality of fruit from this spot is incredible! The Syrah is a blend of two separate ferments, which both underwent semi-carbonic maceration with 10 days on skins. In the glass, expect bright and lifted fruit flavours, with intermingling notes of bramble berries, boysenberry, and raspberry coulis. There’s a fresh acidity and energy to the wine that make it perfect for summertime drinking. It’s fantastic as is, but if we were you, we’d chuck this one on ice before drinking.

Un-Grafted #26 Momento Mori Carbo Syrah 2022

At the end of the day, we all just want to be heard. But when it comes to tasting notes, we all just want to hear the right things – like lemon sorbet, pickled ginger and tart citrus. This would also be perfect with cheeses and friends at the park, or by some water.

Fin Wines I'm All Ears Pét Nat 2024

This could be the perfect match for your Middle Eastern feast of falafels, hummus, baba ghanoush and chickpeas. With its early-picked fruit and skin contact, there's a fresh acidity and a savoury lemon-laced chalky pith and grip, plus a lick of cinnamon quill and sandalwood spices.

Momento Mori Fistful of Flowers 2023

Fruit flavours are ripe nashi, yellow pear, then there’s a little spice to give you some layered enjoyment. Perfect with anything from the sea, or just a packet of salty chips in the park. 1L also makes it one you won’t mind sharing, as much. (1000ml)

Nicolas Mariotti Bindi Zinzinu Vermentino 2022 1L

The blend was destemmed and left to ferment for four weeks, resulting in a long and soft palate that’s full of citrussy tang and drinks with a lime-sorbet sort of flavour.
