Bright and juicy fruits mingle with savoury whole bunch characters to create a very fun wine indeed. Carbonic maceration brings some delicious lift that lends itself nicely to a little chill.

Gravity Rondinella 2021

A delightful Victorian wine from high in the hills of Strathbogie Ranges, where the elevated site means the vines slowly ripen the fruit, ideal for developing its flavour. This shines through in this bottle, with a lovely richness to the fruit, alongside typical Riesling notes of orange blossom and lime peel.

Allira Single Vineyard Riesling 2020

Easy drinking and even easier mornings, Plus & Minus' premium Shiraz is a step up in quality and complexity for non-alcoholic wine. Grape juice, cherry cola and a little pastille sweetness are grounded with savoury notes of tomato leaf and earthy beetroot, tied up nicely with just a smidge of tannin.

Plus and Minus Premium Alcohol-Free Shiraz 2021

Standish Wine Co. The Standish Shiraz 2020

Jarrod Kiven Syrah 2020

Classic Yarra mid-weight notes of mulberry, red currant and a pinch of peppery spice. A blend of Cab Sauv & Franc, it’s a nice little sidestep for lovers of silky and spiced Cab Franc.

Dappled Tradition Cabernets 2020

Bourke Street Pinot Noir 2021

High notes of red fruit and florals on the nose lead into silky macerated fruit, a good dose of spice and savouriness and a little whole bunch character in the mix. We think Shaun Crinion is one of the most underrated winemakers in Australia today.

Dappled Appellation Pinot Noir 2021

Taken from Best's own clones from the historic Concongella Vineyard, with vines averaging 40-years old. It sees 18 months in oak, with scrupulous barrel selection producing a wine of intense character and complexity. Rich dark plum and sweet blackberry laden with Szechuan peppercorn and clove spice. Oak influence is pronounced but seamlessly integrated, with some plush tannins building through to a long and complex finish. Drink now or cellar for 5-10 years.

Best's Bin No. 0 Shiraz 2019

Notes of jasmine, lemon balm, a little chamomile edge and minerality meet in this zippy wine that'll spark a deep love for this delicious wine style.

Coffele Soave 2020

A brilliant winemaker - her wines are both unique and truly exciting. Made with the aim of not adding any sulphur in attempt to show a better expression of the appellation. Give this some time in a decanter to unwind before dinner.

Claire Naudin Bourgogne Aligoté 2020

Winemaker, Nick is the son of inimitable Gary Farr and he injects his own style into the Farr Rising wines—all while retaining that Farr star quality. Red berry flavours are paired with an earthy savouriness, vibrant acidity, and fine tannins. Delicious.

Farr Rising Gamay 2021

This bottle brings together two unlikely collaborators: legendary Champagne producer David Léclapart, and wine grower, Alejandro Muchada. They come together in the Spanish region of Marco de Jerez to create incredible unfortified wine. Elegant and perfumed, this is a real treat. Complex and layered with a fruity nose that leads to a decadent palate of spiced ginger, Chantilly cream, fresh acidity and balanced with fine phenolic pull. A truly delicious and memorable blend of old Palomino and Muscat.

Muchada-Léclapart Elixir Palomino Muscat 2019

This shows off the bright side of the Grampians region—it's a delicious blend of Grenache, Syrah and some very rare Mourvèdre from Moyston Hills, and is a lighter expression of the style than its SA counterparts. Easy drinking with a palate of dark fruits, long tannins and a little savoury reduction edge, try it with a chill when the weather warms and you won't be disappointed.

The Story Super G Grenache Syrah Mourvèdre 2021

A delicious and rich palate bursting with plummy fruits and chalky tannins, with just a little bit of greenery nestled in. Grab a few bottles because this is delectable blend of Dolcetto, Nero d'Avola and Touriga is going to be suuuper slurpable all winter long!

Unico Zelo Jungle Jungle 2021

Another knockout release from Mornington Peninsula mainstay, Foxeys Hangout. Sweet red cherry, sarsaparilla and cedar spice framed by rich yet well-placed oak.

Saline and oxidative Aligoté from avante-guarde couple, Isabelle and Jean-Yves Vantey, who farm six hectares of biodynamic vineyards in Maranges, Santenay and the Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune. Green melon, pithy citrus, and dried hay, with a subtle pop of volatile acidity and a nutty, oxidative savouriness on the finish.

Domaine des Rouges-Queues Cuvée l'Aligator Bourgogne Aligoté 2020
