Winding back the stylistic clock. Barrel fermented and aged Chardonnay that delivers Geelong’s trademark lemon and butter flavours, and will have you hitting the highway to visit cellar doors so you can kickstart your Geelong wine phase at the source!

Barwon Ridge Chardonnay 2023

From a fourth generation family in the Hills who really get the best out of this single vineyard fruit by fermenting with a portion of whole bunch. That means a sappy edge to all the light berries that are rinsed clean with some fressssh acidity.

Golding Ombre Gamay 2023

We’re big fans of Gippsland and all its subtle nuances. This pours as you’d expect a delicious Pinot to pour, but includes some nori, rose hip, and a firm tannin thanks to a good portion of whole bunch used in the ferment.

Allies Assemblage Pinot Noir 2024

Campo della Fiera Sangiovese 2023

Oxidative, savoury but alive with chiselled lemon. We wait all year for these wines so if you’re reading this and you love minerally, stoney wines, look no further. Also, it probably won’t be here the next time you are.

Marjan Simcic Ribolla Classic Ribolla Gialla 2023

Lovingly nicknamed, Spaghetti Camporeale because it’s perfect with an all'olio sauce thanks to its salinity and chalky grip. Don’t worry, there’s fruit too–pear and crunchy green apple–but they just dial up the freshness.

Alessandro di Camporeale Benede Cataratto 2023

An unbelievable wine for the money. Soave always drinks like a divine gift and this Lunardi plays all the hits – texture, clean acidity, green herbs and some juicy peach.

Lunardi Soave 2023

Batard Langelier Les Prieres Muscadet 2023

Good Intentions Chardonnay 2024

Higher Plane Jewels of Karridale Chardonnay 2024

Enjoy nectarine, peach, a spritzy note of pineapple, and just a little bead of cream giving it all a rich, but still light, feel. This is a good time Chardonnay if there ever was one. Easy-drinking and always picnic appropriate.

Munificent Chardonnay 2022

High country chic on a budget means oozing red currants and plum. This is so much more than just juice though, there’s a nice and gentle dried herb character that will give you more to mull over, and enjoy.

Buller the Nook Sangiovese 2023

Especially with all these excellent wines for Adrian Rodda, this one is big but smooth and will pair perfectly with your winter comfort repertoire. Great depth, balanced florals, lifted cherries and rhythmic tannins keep it all together.

A Rodda Audax Arquilla Tempranillo 2023

There’s something about Canberra District Shiraz. That elevation means warm days, cool nights, and concentration. This wine comes together with black and white pepper, firm tannins and a schmear of olive tapenade. Victorian Shiraz lovers take two and save yourself from having to come back.

Four Winds Vineyard Shiraz 2022

Lusher style for Grigio with all the nashi richness and pear juice, but enough sharpness to get along perfectly with a goat's cheese salad. The recipe for Alice Waters’ iconic salad is absolutely online if you’re into iconic pairings.

Munificent Pinot Grigio 2023

Dirty 3 All The Dirts Pinot Noir 2023

Buller the Nook Pinot Grigio 2024

Flowers and delicate fruits with pretty edges of delicate Moroccan spices. Delicious modern Grenache that’s a total smash with lamb tagine, or a trip to your local falafel joint.

Ambling Selicks Hill Grenache 2024

Cool Sicilian evening romance with all the fleshy plum skins and almond blossoms. True ‘dolce far niente’ (sweetness in nothing) wine that’s made to go with you and make things just a little better with its delightful charm.

Il Barroccio Nero D'Avola 2022

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.
