Veneto Prosecco that’s straight down the line, complete with a good amount of fruit and a dry finish. Naturally, it’s full of lemon sherbert and some stone fruit. You might want to stock up and take one this weekend, and another to your mate’s for dinner next week and have one on hand for when so-and-so come for the kids’ playdate next weekend.

Castelnuovo Prosecco Extra Dry NV

A local grown alternative for lovers of Moscato that’s full of rose petals and nectarine, with a little sweetness. Perfect for summer. You should drink this in the park, in your bare feet and while wearing sunscreen. It’s clean, refreshing, spritzy and yum.

Soumah Brachetto Frizzante NV

Need a sure thing that lets you know you're making all the right choices? Here it is with an unbelievable profile. Pours deep purple and has a weave of dark spices and star anise, plus some cassis and currants. Very French for Geelong, from those fruits to the acidity and unfolding effect you get as you drink. Absolutely cellarable.

Provenance Geelong SV Pinot Noir 2022

Well here that is, flowing with nothing more than delicate spices and savouriness that are outshined but that little ball of tannin and white pepper that we love in this Grenache. Grown on bush vines, and raised in seasoned oak for 8 months, great winemaking and farming allows this wine to just feel… right.

Paul Osicka Grenache 2023

Hello from the Eden Valley, your slightly cooler, more elevated region bordering the Barossa for those playing along at home. Drinks like a summer evening, complete with cooling, minty tannin (breeze) and a velvety fruit warmth that's rich and inviting. Feels like a red to sit with at the park over a couple of chapters, or some nice conversation.

Barr Eden Dreams of Gold Shiraz 2023

Very violety and full of the floral charm to backup all the red fruited substance, and a little nutty tannin. There's depth and savoury intent, this absolutely punching above it's $. Don't be scared to get a crust on that porterhouse, blanch some spring beans and ubereats in some maccas fries you'll have yourself a grand ól time!

Vine Mind Shiraz & Friends 2022

Moon Dog Fizzer Juicy Apple Raspberry

The soils here are also shallow and a bed of Kimmeridgian marl helps push through all that minerality. Monsieur Michel's bottles are full of tonic water bitterness that's kept fresh with citrus. and a little soft grapefruit.

Louis Michel Chablis Montee de Tonnerre 1er Cru 2021

With a little decant Intrinsic settles and comes through bright with boysenberry, pomegranate and some cherry-depth. Owen Latta and his crew have done amazingly well, and made the most of trying weather conditions. This is one to cellar, or enjoy now and it’s punching well above its price point.

Full of raspberry mousse and some subtle spice, it’s delicious and will absolutely inspire gossip, and maybe even some tension (between people, there’s plenty in the wine). Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, you won’t care about knocking some ball through a gate, you’ll just want another glass.

Light and fragrant with a little fleshy melon and salad leaves. This is simple and clean and for all you who want a racy Riesling over lunch-dinner, but offers enough to think about. There’s some nice power here and it’ll do you some shine through if you bring it to the park and dance, glass in hand, to Juliane Werding’s Großstadtlichter after dark.
