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

Some toast and plenty of character, including salinity and crispiness. Looks brilliant and is very generous for the price, with all its balance – acidity, stone fruit flavours, and oak spice flow harmoniously.

Lange Estate Providence Road Chardonnay 2023

Bright and crunchy with cherry pips, cranberry and drops of boysenberry that shine through along with some trademark Sangiovese dusty tannin, and crispy acidity

Carlotta Sangiovese 2023

Perfect just as it is, with all the lime blossom, some tonic water quinine vibes and an armful of delicate fruits. Great value and a reliable bottle for any school night.

Millon Estate Clares Secret Riesling 2024

Cooling green bay leaf and impressions of sweet plum and black liquorice makes for flowy drinking. Tannins are good and grippy, and they add a nudge of warmth on the end.

Millon Estate The Impressionist Shiraz 2022

Home Hill Landslide Huon Valley Pinot Noir 2023

Flow and glide. Like watching one of those Byron Bay longboarders gracefully carve a wave. Slashes here throw flavoursome white florals, peach fuzz, earthy spices and a savoury finish. I think my Insta feed has infiltrated my work brain.

Even Keel Heathcote 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.

In Reverie Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2021

Lemon, lime and bitters with a perfect garnish of sweet florals and some textured weight. Love this wine so much. Perfect with frozen dumplings and packet ramen or a night on Little Bourke Street.

Max & Me Woodcarvers VIneyard Riesling 2023

Balanced flavours and a rich expression of Cabernet that flows smooth and with sweet, leathery tannins and some velvet-like dark fruits. Offers both the juicy flow that light-red drinkers love and the spicy depth that bold-red lovers search for.

Leogate Miracle of the Wire Cab Sauv 2021

Remember the documentary, Man on Wire? Imagine walking between buildings. Anyway, Leogate is a lightly tropical Sauvignon Blanc that has just a dab of that field/grassy palate we love and plenty of refreshing bite.

Leogate Miracle of the Wire Sauv Blanc 2023

A sunny day, lunchtime Pinot Noir if there ever was one. Think of a light and deliciously crunchy red with rosy aromatics, orange essence, and some light cherry juice. We're sure you'll be able to find an hour of sunshine this weekend to sip away.

Trapeze Murrindindi Pinot Noir 2023

We’ve always thought every Ottelia white was perfect anytime, but this is next level. Gewürtz with some Pinot Gris and Riesling for a textural palate of lychee and dandelion before a clean, acidic finish. Perfect.

Ottelia Anytime White Gewurtz Pinot Gris Riesling 2024

In Clueless, Cher is walking past a fountain when she arrives at her “I love Josh” epiphany. Upon sampling this rosé by a different Josh we love, we imagine a fountain of rosé made spouting a melange of grapes and brimming with crisp red berries and feathery tannins.

Joshua Cooper Regional Series Rose 2024

Clean and plump blackcurrants and autumnal leaves. If you’re grilling tonight, don’t be afraid to pour just a tablespoon into the pan to release all that fond and get a wine reduction going. Yum.

2024 Gentle Giant Cabernet Sauvignon

Unoaked and sweetly fruited. It’s an inviting Shiraz that could even do with a chill if you want to dial up the juiciness.

2024 Gentle Giant Shiraz

Lean and crispy. Quintessential Chardonnay that delivers refreshing flavours and a sliver of pineapple with every sip. There’s some good weight and body of course, and plenty of value.

Gentle Giant Chardonnay

Berries and cherries with sarsparilla and soft, cushy tannins. We love Logan wines for their accessibility and deliciousness. This has both of those factors in spades, but there are layers of depth too.

Logan Weemala Tempranillo 2023

Off-dry, but sharp enough and packing some luscious texture. We call this an Alsace-style Riesling so bring your prowess for shucking and a tray of oysters. Don’t worry if you forget the lemons, the wine has plenty of citrussy bite.

Plan B OD Off Dry Riesling 2023

From one of Australia’s favourite winemakers. You should expect goodness from any Pannell wine because Steve and his team deliver! Field Street has spicy flavours layered over deep fruits and curly tannins that seem to lengthen the experience.
