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 real win for natty wine lovers out there. Sustainably grown for all the goodness, which includes watermelon rind, pickled cherries and squished raspberry in spades. The acidity is clean, and there’s some bonus pulpy texture.

Curl Curl Rosso Light Red Field Blend 2023

From the pulpy, leesy texture to the honeyed richness that pours with just enough oxidative edge to impress a Jura mate. It’s got the goods when it comes to the savoury matters too, and will be oh so perfect with fish curries.
