Lienert Tierra del Puerco Tirzah Malbec 2021

Like so many of our favourite Tempranillios, there’s some cherry cola and plummy goodness wrapped in a nice weight and a savoury profile. Yum!

Richard Hamilton Sombra Tempranillo 2023

BK Wines Cidre 2023

Think generous helpings of purple and black fruit, balanced with black pepper spice, a sprinkle of McLaren Vale salinity and Nori, that pairs perfectly with charcuterie notes and a finish that builds with a solid embrace of sandy tannin. So much value here and a bottle that will say thanks/congratulations in the best way–just make sure you buy one for yourself as well.

Paralian Springs Hill Shiraz 2022

There’s some solid structure and plenty to contemplate… rosehip, citrus, some savoury tannin and a little spice. But it’s all just delicious as well, and pours without a care in the world.

BK Wines Saignee Pinot Noir Rose 2023

A delicately-styled and savoury rendition of Grenache from SA-legends BK Wines. Rose hip, candied peel and cherry essence are met with a big crack of spice and fine, sandy tannins. Serve cool—not cold—to really dial up the refreshment in your glass.

BK Wines Nouveau Grenache 2023

Smallfry Gewurz Bomb Gewurz Semillon 2023

BK Wines Oishi Pinot Gris Pet Nat 2023

Smallfry Eclectik Violet Grenache Cinsault 2023

A delicious rosé brimming with red fruits, currents, and berries that are deliciously tangy thanks to a little Campari-like edge. Refreshing and light, but has character and plenty of acidity. Take it to the park and savour between generous wedges of cheese and all your days will be sunny.

Stappa Sparkling Col Fondo Zibbibo 2022

Domaine Clarendon BDX Cabernet Merlot 2020

A charming wine from the second it hits the glass, pouring with a lovely pale pink hue—judging by eye alone, you'd think it's a Provençal rosé! Fresh strawberry aromas carry through to the palate, with cherry, peach, and a light herbaceous note. A smidge of sweetness balanced by bright acidity, giving a whole lot to love for less than thirty dollars.

Lambrook Spark Sparkling Pinot Noir 2022

Translates to, this is not a cowboy but also, sumptuous and vibrant–okay, that might not be 100% accurate but you get what we’re saying. This is one to buy a magnum of and take to your next BBQ because it’ll delight with all those plums, red rope liquorice and some sandy tannins. Be prepared though, it’ll still go quickly, it’s that good.

Hydropath Society Ceci n'est pas un Cowboy Magnum NV

This one's weighty in the glass with dark plum, black currant, vanilla and cocoa notes, with a dab of sweet tannin for good measure. Drink this in front of the fireplace while you still can!

Reillys Shiraz 2019

File this under 'Bottles to Buy Two Of' Made with a blend of Riesling and Sangiovese this tasty lil' number is brimming with fresh sherbet, mandarin, citrus blossom and a lick of pink grapefruit, yet remains deliciously dry on the palate.

Italian Plastic Riesling Sangiovese Pét Nat 2023

So bright on the nose with red and black berries and incredibly easy drinking with white pepper spice, raspberry and dusty tannins, with hints of moreish olive brine in the fold. The Vincent is a nod to winemaker, Marco Cirillo's father who has passed eight generations of Italian winemaking and grape-growing knowledge down to the ninth.

Cirillo The Vincent Grenache 2022

Easy-drinking Shiraz that's laden with dark berries tempered by some moreish acidity, a crack of white pepper, approachable sweet tannin and some well placed toasty oak character from its 10 months spent in a mix of seasoned and new oak. Delicious.
