Spicy pink peppercorns and not a lot of tannins, but more spices. Will suit a Gamay drinker thanks to all the cranberry and raspberry, so yes, pick up a roast chicken and chips after you do this bottle.

Johannes Zillinger Velue Rot Zweigelt 2023

Parley Fever Pinot Noir Cab Franc 2024

This vintage is from the Bower Ridge vineyard in the Hills and pours with power. Notes are peach fuzz, flint, nectarine and some oaky depth that gives everything a kernel of spice. Great Chardonnay is hard to beat.

Paralian Chardonnay 2024

Delicious. Fermented entirely in steel, and packing wild, clean cherries and berries. This is energetic and fun, but it’s refined – like dancing at a gala. A blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone and a couple of other varietals.

Parley Love Supreme Rose 2024

Parley Midnight Disco Pet Nat 2022

Vivid floral and gently sweet fruit. This is incredibly pretty and an almost lacy-like texture that’s brimming red currants and sweet, lifted spices. Straddles both engagement and digestibility in equal parts to deliver something truly impressive.

Petit Perou Morgon Les Dryades Beujolais 2023

Unashamedly rich thanks to some time in new and old oak, and 11 months on lees. Think cashew meal and sublime stone fruits in an almost syrupy texture that will glide down and fill your soul with sunny flavours.

Sven Joschke La Justine Chardonnay 2024

Sweet, plummy fruits and a loose-knit texture. It’s LoFi and a little funky but it’s Shiraz for all in our opinion, you just need to be open to a different take. Pour for blue fruits, sage and tapenade that warm the soul. Drink it on the couch with a good movie and better friends.

A & C Ainsworth Saddleback Syrah 2024

Pretty florals and delicate, lacy fruits that are very true-to-style for Pinot from Western Victorian - yes, that means a little forest floor depth and a slightly raspy tannin. Just delicious. Step aside Snape and Patrick Bateman, we may have a new favourite Anti-Hero. P.S. If I had to 'spoiler alert' that Snape quip, then you're probably too young to be buying wine.

Heroes Anti - Heroes Yeowarra Hill Pinot Noir 2023

Spends three years under flor and comes out all oxidative and super punchy with turmeric, curry leaf and chamomile spices. There’s also plenty of salinity and some driving acidity.

Municipal Flor Savagnin 2021

Hard-core skin contact. So local they call it ‘Our Mate’ and the mate of our mate, is our… Mate! This has that drying sandalwood spice and tangy quinine under layers of ripe and bruised fruit. We love wines that go for it.

Billaud Simon Chablis Tete d’Or 2022

This feels minerally and delivers bitter herbs, some whole bunch snap, and delicate berries. Brilliant now and after some time in your cellar.

Bandicoot Run Pinot Noir 2023

This has tension and a high-toned nose that lifts aromatics into close focus. Full of citrus and some herbs that drive long and lean thanks to all the brisk acidity. LoFi Chardonnay lovers will be in heaven!

Bandicoot Run Ceramic Chardonnay 2023

Really cool dinner wine for teetotallers and light-red lovers in general! Soft feels and a gentle, savoury quality. Despite the non-alc, there are decent tannins that present chalky.
