This is Pool’s Vinho Verde so get fishing or head to your local monger, and get your paella dish out – if buying one, go ceramic, they’re easier to clean and you don’t have to worry about rust.

Pool Wines Verde Semillon 2024

After hand-picking, it spends 18 months in French oak, with a small addition of Viognier to aid textures and aromatics. By the time it gets to us, it’s full of all the bold, but balanced and approachable spices, plus black fruits and the savoury minerality you’d expect from one of Australia’s best Shirazes.

By Farr Shiraz 2022

Stay in, or head out with divine and generous, fleshy cherries and raspberry confit that pour with trademark Geelong depth. Really fresh and bright in style and super lifted aromatics. Some oak and a little orange peel with charcuterie. Some things just really come together.

Provenance Golden Plains Pinot Noir 2022

There are plenty of sweet cherries in every glass and a little raspberry bon-bon that’s elevated with a smidge of oak. Pours without a care in the world. Cheers!

Mt Moriac Pinot Noir 2023

A brilliant, peppery number that'll warm up any chilly night. Spicy and savoury, with notes of smoky charcuterie and dark fruits. A splash of Viognier tempers the tannin structure and brings a deep purple glow to the glass. Perfect with your best BBQing - is your gas bottle full?

Provenance Geelong Shiraz 2022

Need a sure thing that lets you know you're making all the right choices? Here it is with an unbelievable profile. Pours deep purple and has a weave of dark spices and star anise, plus some cassis and currants. Very French for Geelong, from those fruits to the acidity and unfolding effect you get as you drink. Absolutely cellarable.
