Leans right into the delicious texture and savoury spice we all love with this Austrian variety, but with a local, LoFi notes – oxidative edges – in its repertoire.

Eleven Sons Oceanic Feeling No. 2 Gruner Vetliner 2023

Everyone’s a DJ these days, but here’s one who doesn’t prattle on about their glory days, which is refreshing. Speaking of refreshing, this drinks with cut stone fruit and melon flavours and comes through with a fresh line of acidity and some mealy chew. Yum.

Vandenberg Ari Gold Chardonnay 2023

A delicious blend of Pinot Gris, Graciano and Sangiovese. Candy apple, red currant and raspberry come together with a lovely and leafy spiced edge and a smidge of tannin on the backend that can stand up to a meal.

Taschini Sunny Pinot Gris Sangiovese blend 2023

Essential. Full of glossy pears so I asked my partner for a celebrity-branded lip gloss hoping for a fantastically named product I could use as a simile. She told me she doesn’t wear lip gloss and asked how I hadn’t realised that after eight years. The wine is excellent though.

Eleven Sons Oceanic Feeling No. 2 Gruner Vetliner 2023 MAGNUM 1500ml

Amazing with anything mushroomy – from fricassee, to risotto and the classic aussie steak sauce. Merlot has a new lease on life here with a zingy undercurrent of acidity that'll cut through all the creamy, buttery goodness of those dishes and you leave in earthy love. There’s also plenty of fruit – mulberry – so feel free to pour it next to a cheese board as well.
