Plucked from red soils and fermented mostly destemmed, but all as one ferment. It’s Classic Yarra flightiness and lift right here. That means florals and flavour that have a nice concentration, plus balanced oak and subtle bunchy spice with tannins that build and expand into (and beyond) your second glass.

First Foot Forward Pinot Noir 2023

Each precious vessel gets 800 of litres of YV juice and comes out with a firmer, structural feel which is offset by some subtle grassy notes and enough citrus to keep things crisp. It’s an impressive local side-step for those Loire Valley blanc lovers out there.

First Foot Forward Amphora Sauvignon Blanc 2023

A BBQ Pét Nat if there ever was one. Smooth strawberry and crunchy red fruits come together savoury and dry. Tell your parents it’s Shiraz and watch the confusion for a moment before they try it, then the smiles at their first sip. Don’t worry if they don’t love it, that just means there’s more for you.

First Foot Forward Shiraz Pet Nat 2023

Garnacha and Bobal, sing it out over the hilltops and feel the breeze hit you with all its red jube fruit and fine but firm tannins. Valencia is an especially delicious place so it’s no surprise what's happened here. It’s gonna be a great afternoon, especially if you break out the paella dish.

La Comarcal Del Moro Tinto 2023

Violets and some tumbling true-to-Cab Franc greenery that’s kept red, in flavour, with wild plums – skins and all! Has all the Lofi jubey feels and can use a little chill to cool down that slow roast lamb you woke up at 7am to prep and put on.

Carto Wines Cabernet Franc 2022

Magical Fumé that’s here right in time for summer. Whole bunch pressed and some good rounding in oak. A pairing dream for creamy cheeses and white fish. This will brighten a park session no matter what the weather and what a dance partner.

Carto Wines Fumé Blanc 2022

Well isn’t this a bit fun? Especially with that little extra heft in the fruit that boldens the structure. If orange segments and pink berries give you a refreshing smile, then you should grab a bottle and head to the park. Never mind the weather, you’ll be shining.

Archie Rose Single Malt Whisky 50ml

Gramona Ca la Mar Mustillant Blanc 2023

Saltfleet GSM 2023

Fresh and crisp with a dusting of blanched, almond richness to help fill out the story. Bring it to the park, or their house, with cheeses. The acidity will cut through everything nicely, even a delicious buerre blanc and scallops if you’re feeling fancy.

Delatite Higher Ground Chardonnay 2023

Pink grapefruit, lime, rockmelon, and plenty of delicate, fine-boned cashew-oak thread running through to spread some deliciousness joy. A great wine to buy when you don’t know which side of the Chardonnay fence they sit on.

Kellybrook Edenesque Chardonnay 2023

Landing Place Chardonnay 2023

Sweet cherry bon bons and a little rose. It’s the perfect place to land on a warm, hot, cool or day, or night, because those are the times when a Pinot with some raspy tannin and a drop of minty herbaceousness is in order.
