Cool, sunny day southern Italy vibes complete with lifted aromatics, sweet nutty spices and some stylistically typical tannins that come through a little bricky. All those layers are wrapped in boysenberries and cherries. Perfect in a carafe between you and the last slice of pizza, while supporting your favourite Italian football (soccer) team.

Carlotta Rosso 2024

Picture juicy oranges and ripe grapefruits rolling over salt plains and a gigantic thumb of ginger stuck somewhere because it can’t roll. They call it scallop so sauté away, but feel free to skip the effort and take it BYOing – Thai anyone?

Pool Wines Scallop Vermentino 2024

If you’re a fan of Momento Mori’s Fistful of Flowers, you’re going to love this. And if you haven’t had the pleasure (yet!), you’re still going to love this. Soft notes of canteloupe, ripe mango and mandarin oil meet a pinch of sandalwood like spice and an oxidative richness in the glass. Delicious.

Curl Curl Vermentino 2023

A delicious blend of Fiano that saw four days on skins and whole bunch-pressed Pecorino has resulted in what can only be described as golden hour in a bottle. In the glass, expect floral jasmine and acacia alongside golden orchard fruits, touches of ripe pear and a luscious texture. A perfect match with prosciutto-wrapped melon, spicy Southeast Asian dishes or just a friend at sunset.

Parco Giallo 2024

Vibrant all the best ways – colour, flavour and refreshment. Rivah pours clean and full of spicy fruits; think juicy raspberries, cola nut and cloves that are wrapped in twiggy herbs and held together with subtle tannins.

Gill Estate Rivah Tempranillo 2021

Some delightful pear and honeysuckle comes through all refreshing and with the most faint amount of textural meal. This is a Grigio for the park, that’ll have you thinking of all the other Grigios you’ve loved.

Gill Estate Rivah Pinot Grigio 2023

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

Proud Primary Produce Up The Mountain Fresh Red Pinot Shiraz Merlot 2022

Rich preserved lemon and spice. Textures come in so many shapes and sizes, and here the pour and stir with apricot pip and under ripe peach flavours. Good and thought-provoking, and a little exotic.

Chalmers Mother Block Skin Contact White 2023

Piron Beaujolais-Villages 2023

All melody, no naïvety. This is the latest in our series on place and focuses on a darling region, Heathcote. This has everything we love because home is where we want to be, so there’s mulberry, peonies, compote spice and liqueured forest berries delivered glass after glass. There’s no need to speak in tongues, this is approachable and for everyone at the table.

This Must Be The Place Heathcote Shiraz 2023

The estate is family owned and run, and there’s a particular worship for the land here so nothing nasty is used in farming which adds to the sandy earth and mineral elements.

Parea Estate Blewitt Springs Single Vineyard Shiraz 2022

Fluffy and softly red fruited with foamy, but still crunchy, red apples and just a little berry goodness, there’s some nice complexity here. It’s kept on lees to this day, so get ready for a lick of herby perfection. Shines at a house party and is radiant in the park.

Chalmers Col Fondo Sparkling Rosato 2021

Aromatic lemon blossom at the fore intermingles with fresh, fine acidity, some meal and a nice little bit of phenolic grip. We don't need to tell you to pair this with oysters... but pair this with oysters!

Mercer Wines Picpoul 2023

Soft and plush, with sweet red berries and a smidge of dusty tannin. One Good Turn makes climate Positive wines where fruit has been sourced from vineyards choosing to use sustainable practices, and for every bottle purchased a contribution goes to Carbon Click, so you can make a difference as well.
