There’s aromatic lemon rind, crunchy stone fruits, chalky minerality & a bit of lemon puff too. Delicious.

Jean François Mérieau J'ose les Fines Bulles 2018

It feels like sitting at a cosy pub in late Autumn, early Spring and eating an amazing steak with peppercorn sauce while the AC fans warm air and that smell of cloves, leather and a fireplace (even though the fire’s not been lit in years) float through the air.

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Syrah 2022

Get the decanter out, and please swirl, a little air will really open up all the deep Lenswood oomph. Sips are full of dark berries, autumnal bliss, earthy spice and clean acidity.

Field Walk Pinot Noir 2023

Super minerals, like the kind people fly to Iceland to bathe in. Okay okay, this won't get your skin glowing, but it will have you smiling thanks to all the crispiness that’s rounded out with a lil blackcurrant juiciness – trademark Mosel.

Karthauserhof Bruno Riesling Kabinett Feinherb 2020

Made by our very good friends at Punt Rd, this fresh, vibrant and complex sparkling has notes of apple blossom, citrus and brioche. A balanced blend of 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Noir sourced from within the Yarra Valley.

Airlie Bank Sparkling NV

Another special wine from Michael Corbett and his team that sees 17 months maturation and will have you pondering… to cellar or drink tonight? We think you’re in Shiraz heaven either way. Flavours are big and smooth with tea leaf, pencil shavings, swollen red and violet fruits.

Vanguardist V Series Blewitt Springs Syrah 2023

Very special, prized Grenache. 55 year old bush vines and a mostly whole bunch fermentation makes for a lot of silky refinement and class. Pours with a lot of pomegranate and that bitter, amaro-like snap we can’t get enough of. Perfect after a decant, tonight or years from now.

Vanguardist V Series Blewitt Springs Grenache 2023

Fumé Sauvignons are generally softer and have a little more oak. This follows that style with some lovely refinement. Subtle on the nose before a full and refreshing palate of grass, lime citrus and passionfruit – tastes like a picnic.

Mitchell Harris Fume Sauvignon Blanc 2023

One of the best white Burgundy’s we’ve had in a long time! Most of the fruit is from Meursault, with some from surrounding communes where things are a little richer, but there’s a perfect amount of acidity, fruit and tannin. Pair with fancy cheese and one other person – at the most.

Matrot Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2022

An amazing Shiraz that’s excellent in every way. Classic, generous and earthy, this serves up layers of stewed plum and spicy oak. A clean split of whole bunch, and destemmed fruit.

Michael Hall Stone Well Shiraz 2022

Tempier Lulu & Lucien Bandol Rouge 2022

In praise of Shadows KI Fiano 2023

Pitch-perfect Yarra Chardonnay, right down to the clean stone fruit and nougat notes that are smeared onto a woven thread of framing oak and fresh acidity. You'll love it every night of the week, but pair it with soft cheeses to make it an occasion.

Martingale Chardonnay 2023

From 100-year-old vines. That means more deeper, violet fruits and lifted tension. There’s a lot to unpack here and the berry-laden profile is layered with minerality, savouriness and some steady, fine grained tannins that are no doubt thanks to the sandy soils the vineyard sits on.

Bouland Morgon Corcelette VIELLE VIGNES Sable 2023

This latest release from the Lubiana family that sees seven years on lees. Delicately smooth with lemon verbena and pulled and torn warm bread flavours we all love. 100% Chardonnay for the perfect gift.

Stefano Lubiana Blanc de Blancs Sparkling 2016

Grower Champagne – grapes are farmed, vinified, bottled and riddlered (bottles turned to incorporate phenolics) in-house. These are always bursting with terroir and represent the year and the land with just a little bit of the house’s inflexion. Here, it’s all taut and focused. This NV runs deep with some moreish texture. Seems like an ode to Langres cheese.

Bereche et Fils Brut Reserve VV Non Filtrée NV (Base 21. Disg Dec 2023)

For a lovely, floral lift, throw in honey and apples. It’s a Sec/Dry styled Chenin – meaning there’s a lovely texture, and stays mineral and composed in feel. Will be mind-blowing with the fancy or budget Brie, no matter when you serve it.

Vigneau Chevreau Vouvray Vigneau Selection 2022

Devaux Cuvee D NV

In the opinion of our wine buying team – this is one of the greatest examples of an alternative varietal made in Australia. We know it’s a big call but we’re here for it. Typically grown in Marche and Umbria, this Verdicchio packs a savoury twist, citrus blossom flow, and it’s made in Beechworth – The Ancona of Victoria.
