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

Some wines play out like a song, all perfect with notes and aromas hitting like verses and those precious, but present fruits, pleasing like a chorus. This is comparable to Nat King Cole’s, Autumn Leaves – it's clean and precise with some salinity, gentle tannins and a nice, alluring intensity which you dive into, or sit with your feet dangling in.

Frantz Chagnoleau Saint-Véran La Roche 2023

Frantz Chagnoleau Saint-Veran Prélude 2023

Frantz Chagnoleau Mâcon-Villages Clos Saint Pancras 2023

Vibrant aromatics and some great volume. Imagine falling, ripe orchard fruits and smooth oak notes that add without distracting. There’s also some saline and a flick of pastry. Sounds like a dream. And it will age well too.

Alex Moreau Bourgogne Blanc 2022

This masterpiece is given time in stainless and old barrels to nudge all the juice along and have it pour (after a decant) freely and with a little slurp. There’s a supple line of acidity, but the profile is delicate and so darn refined! Age and gift worthy? Oui!

Yann Bertrand Fleurie Coup d’Folie 2023

Silky and youthful with a thin stretch of tannin woven in. This is one of the more serious wines in Bertrand’s range and pours with a lot of minerality and some concentrated, deep red fruits.

Yann Bertrand Latignie Beaujolias Villages Gamay 2023

This wine feels alive and comes out ready to party with all its, tart crunchy fruits and brisk and earthy acidity. Yann’s proud of this vintage and put the grapes in concrete only so they could sing their fresh flavours loud and proud!

Yann Bertrand Beaujolais OH ! Gamay 2023

Squishy, full-blooded fruits that keep lively thanks to some rose water/potpourri notes. Taken from 20-year-old vines, and grown in a good but challenging season, there’s real concentration and some genuine savoury tannin here.

Schmolzer & Brown High Altitude Nebbiolo 2024

Mon Dieu this is good!!! Full of vivid florals and fresh fruit that has a concentrated, granite aspect to it and just enough dried herbs and sweet spices to elevate things. Super impressive.

Phillipe Viet Fleurie Poncie Gamay 2023

A wet December/January and a dry February made for lush vines and healthy clusters leading to a lively, expressive blend. It’s just one more reason to love Airlie Bank. Profile is delicate, minerally and layered with subtle spices and charming boysenberries and raspberries.

Airlie Bank GG Grenache Gamay 2024

We hope your bros are juicy and they go with the flow because that's the vibe this Latitude is putting out. Yeah, there are dusty tannins but it’s a friendly Shiraz that’s full of plum and boysenberry notes, and grounded spicy tannins.

Latitude 32 The Bros Shiraz Pinot Noir 2023

Juicy white and yellow stone fruits coupled with tangy bright acid lines. Dusting of fennel pollen. Aromatically floral, texturally giving. There is some richness to how it drinks but it’s poised between power and elegant freshness. So good!

Productours Plaimont Yura Jurancon Sec 2022

Like wearing a finely knitted Italian cardigan–they're back ‘on trend’ right? One dyed a dark and classy red and oozes cherry and red currant comforts plus some crumbly tannins and cool leafiness. Perfect while cooking and eating with friends.

Produttori di Govone Langhe Nebbiolo 2023

If you’ve never had Brunello before, 2019 was an amazing year, so this will be one to hold onto for a very special occasion. Palate is all silky but bold fruits that'll change your life and have you travelling to Italy ASAP. Decant for perfection.

San Giorgio Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Deliciously tart cherries and some papery tannins. They say taste is subjective, but this posits a compelling argument for the contrary – it’s that delicious. Everyone will (more than likely) love it.

Babche Sangiovese 2024

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.

Paisley DJ Deadly Chardonnay 2023

Time on the Bellarine is always a pleasure. Indented Head packages all the raw earth and maritime vibes we love. You’ll get a helping of savoury earthiness and some smoky oak tangled up in cherries and dripping plum juiciness.

Indented Head Pinot Noir 2024

Hefty Margie's Shiraz that features big fruits and soft, floaty tannins. Love this wine so much. Notes are delicious black olive and poached plum. A cool dinner party wine when you know they're roasting red meats. Lots of value too.

In Reverie Shiraz 2022

Lunch-style claret with sweeps of tannin and strokes of freshening herbs on a canvas of boysenberry, mulberry and cassis. Oh no, I've been looking at Ab-ex paintings again. Apologies, but it is beautiful.
