Vivid and flush with lush fruits, earthy edges, and some savoury spice. Saltfleet is absolutely delicious and a great rendition of a local Rhône blend. Take it to a BBQ and show it off, and don’t be surprised if people ask for wine recommendations.

Saltfleet GSM 2023

Generous. There's a slightly drying aspect we adore because it keeps everything refreshing. Strongly mineral, a subtle cherry note among all the apple turnover and rye-dough. It’s all sleek and made with a Pinot Meunier dominated blend.

Maurice Grumier Ô Ma Vallée Champagne NV

Propping all that fruit up is some nice cashew, pulled warm bread and lemon rind. There’s a lot of drive and power here, but it’s never overwhelming.

Deep Woods Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2023

Groiss Gemitscher Satz Braitenpuechtorff 2022

This feels like a wine that’s showing off a lot of charming assets. From the green apple snap and zest of lemon citrus to the light mealy note from some time on lees, along with the chalky pith that is almost palpable, and dipped in salt. If you ever wished your Muscadet had some effervescence, this is the wine for you.

Zudugarai Getariako Txakolina 2023

24’s Riesling comes with concentrated lime, lemon thyme and citrus blossom. With subtle layers of coriander and lemongrass, gun smoke and autumn fruits. Put it on the table when you’re making a curry for instant cuisine elevation.

Ottelia Riesling 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

Full of raspberries, citrus and a little chalky rind structure to unleash at picnics where the people you’re sharing with will just be a smidge happier than those drinking something else.

Pittnauer Pitti Konig Rose 2023

The soils here are also shallow and a bed of Kimmeridgian marl helps push through all that minerality. Monsieur Michel's bottles are full of tonic water bitterness that's kept fresh with citrus. and a little soft grapefruit.

Louis Michel Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru 2021

With a little decant Intrinsic settles and comes through bright with boysenberry, pomegranate and some cherry-depth. Owen Latta and his crew have done amazingly well, and made the most of trying weather conditions. This is one to cellar, or enjoy now and it’s punching well above its price point.

Eastern Peake Intrinsic Pinot Noir 2022 MAGNUM 1500ml

Eastern Peake Intrinsic Pinot Noir 2022

Full of raspberry mousse and some subtle spice, it’s delicious and will absolutely inspire gossip, and maybe even some tension (between people, there’s plenty in the wine). Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, you won’t care about knocking some ball through a gate, you’ll just want another glass.

Thalia Sparkling Rose NV

An estate Pinot from one of the best winemakers in the country? Yes, please. A genuine super wine, with a lovely nose and some savoury earthy tones that flow deep with grippy tannins that will align mystically with stars over the years if you feel like cellaring.

Stefano Lubiana Estate Pinot Noir 2023

A mid-weighted beauty that's spicey with layers of ripe white nectarine and peach leading to a creamy edge and some well-placed oak spice. Drink this early in the week for a little respite from the 9-5 grind!

Folklore Chardonnay 2022

The majority of the fruit underwent malolactic fermentation with some stirring to build texture and the result is delicious wine with a creamy feel and plenty of lime, a pinch of oak spice and a tight tensile line of acidity.

Rob Hall Chardonnay 2024

It’s also got zesty acidity and defined mineral tension that helps push a savoury finish that we love. Making this perfect for soup dumplings and those lively chats a good BYO dinner brings out in us all.

Donnhoff Riesling 2022

We’re in on that alone, but there’s also a sturdy backbone of compact stone fruit and a nice citrussy-sherbety pull of acidity to keep you energised over the warmer months. We recommend pouring this into a fishbowl-sized wine glass, giving it a little swirl and savouring everything it has to offer. Superb modern Chardonnay that also deserves some space in the cellar.

Nocturne Treeton Sub Region Chardonnay 2022

Pure berry conserve and punnets of raspberry delight the palate with hints of orange and chinotto and some lovely lightly bitter, ashy tannin to finish. With all its super pretty nuova Siciliana vibes, your friends will thank you while you pour them a glass, but they’ll love (even more) after they finish their glass.

Rouleur Nero d' Avola 2023

Expect a whiff of flinty, gun smoke that blows off to reveal pithy citrus and yellow, crunchy fruits with some fresh acidity tying it nicely together.
