Simple sweet fruits and a tickle of acidity with a nice dusting of tannin. Most Cabernet Francs are deliciously enjoyable, but this amplifies all the loveable trademarks and drives them home. A perfect intro/return to Cab Franc wine.

Lauren Langfield 5255 Project Cabernet Franc 2024

Raspberry and light red fruits on the nose. There’s a great oceanic influence here – does anyone not love salty wines? It also looks and smells like watermelon and strawberries, and washes down clean and refreshing. Very yum.

Alessandro Viola Rose Nerello Mascalese Blend 2023

Plump thanks to a nice fleshy nose and some subtle stone fruit skins. The palate is zippy and alive with minerally citrus juices. It does feel a little tight so enjoy swirling it, or give it some time in a decanter. Grown in the north-eastern part of Sicily, looking across the Strait of Messina, where it’s beautiful all year round.

Domaine de la Pinte Cuvee d Automne Savagnin Chardonnay NV

Whether you order your flake grilled or fried, this Margaret River Alvarinho makes so much sense! We’re sure there’s a brilliant fish n chip somewhere near you. If not, load up the car and head to the coast with Gant & Co. So chalky, salty and fresh!

Christian Tschida Himmel auf Erden Grand Cuvée  2023

Christian Tschida Himmel auf Erden Rose 2023

Vermouth for all your favourite cocktails, long drinks and ice-cube moulds. Made with Pinot Noir, this oozes raspberry and blood orange, before heaps of crafty amounts of juniper, wormwood, and thyme come flowing in. Delicious in a Negroni.

Cinq a Sept Pinot Noir Vermouth NV

From western Sicily, this is very traditional Nero d’Avola. Complete with a juicy base of raspberry compote and just a touch of tannins. Easy-drinking yes, but bold like any good Sicilian - Ciao Nonna. Perfect for BBQs.

Sibliana Sensale Nero d'Avola 2023

Amazingly delicious. Nearly all Carricante with just un po (little bit) of Cattaratto. Half the juice was matured in large format oak to dial up the power and let the stone fruit flavours sing. Chardonnay-lovers, meet your mid-year affair.

Richard Rottiers Brouilly Gamay 2023

Rosehip and potpourri with some cool-fruited alpine vibes. This is fresh and the perfect thing to drink on a cruisy afternoon in the park. Amazing with chicken and chips.

Fleet Pinot Meunier 2024

Old school Italian wine. Firm structures and the tense profile that’s typical of Dolcetto. Plays like an opera, high notes are acidity, low are rocky tannins and the beautiful costumes are the delicious red cherries flavours.

Bruno Giacosa Casa Vinicola Dolcetto 2023

Fresh and bunchy, but in a tightly, wound profile that oozes red berries and herby tannins. Give this a swirl or pour it into a carafe to let it all flatten nicely.
