Along with flavours of raspberry, blackcurrant and a zesty acidity, this has a little vermouth-like snap to it. Great aperitivo wine that can be chilled if you like.

Muto Tinta Barroca 2022

This RDJ has all the Coal River qualities but with even more depth and drive than a lot of wines coming out of the region. That means blackberries on the palate alongside a cranberry-laced acidity and an almost raspy tannin that’s long and fine.

L'appel Wines Coal Valley RDJ Pinot Noir 2024

Bright and crunchy with cherry pips, cranberry and drops of boysenberry that shine through along with some trademark Sangiovese dusty tannin, and crispy acidity

Carlotta Sangiovese 2023

Teroldego has a lot of loyal fans who are going to love this Heathcote rendition. Fermented in stainless to keep things clean and pure, there are generous red fruits flavours, a divine dried currant edginess, and just a note of that trademark alpine spice. ‘Ndom is Trentino dialect for ‘let’s go’, so cheers!

L'appel Wines NDOM Teroldego 2024

Fleshy, pleasing fruits sink with a dab of crumbly tannins and fresh acidity. This smells juicy and clean, probably because the grapes were destemmed and fermented entirely in stainless. Feels like a pasta wine – ricotta and tomato pasta!!! Need a recipe? The Internet is your friend.

Orbis Nero d'Avola 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

Parley Love Supreme Rose 2024

Parley Midnight Disco Pet Nat 2022

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

Dark rich black and red currants with lots of green, vegie edges. Tannins are raspy and there’s a leafy, spicy edge to the wine. Cabernet Franc is a varietal we've been going on about for years, and this Somos is just another bottle that justifies our love.

Somos Cabernet Franc 2024

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.

Local Weirdos Our Mate Skin Contact Riesling

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

Lyons Will Gamay 2024

Finesse and chisel. Elegant sublime white peaches and flowers in full bloom and just a drop of oak. This is also the first yield from new plantings which translates as a more generous profile, and a prosperous future.

Lyons Will Chardonnay 2024

2023 presented challenges but yielded enough fruit with some classic acidity and deep ripeness. Grapes were fermented for 12 months in oak, with a portion of that being new.

Paramoor Syrah 2023

LoFi pop for deliciousness and a slightly creamy edge that washes down joyfully with raspberry and red currants. Grainy tannins and tea-leaf edges give you something to think about and make this perfect with steak au poivre.

Oria-Riff Old Vine Grenache 2024

Ripe and textural with honeycomb and yellow melon notes, and an oxidative edge. It’s marching to a LoFi beat, but there’s a lot of glide so don’t hesitate if you’re branching out, this is friendly. Suavy B and Pinot Gris drinkers dive in!
