Cool, sunny day southern Italy vibes complete with lifted aromatics, sweet nutty spices and some stylistically typical tannins that come through a little bricky. All those layers are wrapped in boysenberries and cherries. Perfect in a carafe between you and the last slice of pizza, while supporting your favourite Italian football (soccer) team.

Carlotta Rosso 2024

A delicious blend of Fiano that saw four days on skins and whole bunch-pressed Pecorino has resulted in what can only be described as golden hour in a bottle. In the glass, expect floral jasmine and acacia alongside golden orchard fruits, touches of ripe pear and a luscious texture. A perfect match with prosciutto-wrapped melon, spicy Southeast Asian dishes or just a friend at sunset.

Parco Giallo 2024

Vibrant all the best ways – colour, flavour and refreshment. Rivah pours clean and full of spicy fruits; think juicy raspberries, cola nut and cloves that are wrapped in twiggy herbs and held together with subtle tannins.

Gill Estate Rivah Tempranillo 2024

Some delightful pear and honeysuckle comes through all refreshing and with the most faint amount of textural meal. This is a Grigio for the park, that’ll have you thinking of all the other Grigios you’ve loved.

Gill Estate Rivah Pinot Grigio 2023

Vivid and flush with lush fruits, earthy edges, and some savoury spice. Saltfleet is absolutely delicious and a great rendition of a local Rhône blend. Take it to a BBQ and show it off, and don’t be surprised if people ask for wine recommendations.

Saltfleet GSM 2023

All melody, no naïvety. This is the latest in our series on place and focuses on a darling region, Heathcote. This has everything we love because home is where we want to be, so there’s mulberry, peonies, compote spice and liqueured forest berries delivered glass after glass. There’s no need to speak in tongues, this is approachable and for everyone at the table.

This Must Be The Place Heathcote Shiraz 2023

Sourced from two blocks across the McLaren Vale, this is a Shiraz with a deep sense of place. Dark, blueberries lead the charge on the nose, before salted meats and a wash of lovely, chalky tannin sweeps the palate.

Paralian Springs Hill Shiraz 2023

Fluffy and softly red fruited with foamy, but still crunchy, red apples and just a little berry goodness, there’s some nice complexity here. It’s kept on lees to this day, so get ready for a lick of herby perfection. Shines at a house party and is radiant in the park.

Chalmers Col Fondo Sparkling Rosato 2021

A flowing Chablis full of depth over the palate with a round acidity that we could drink every day. Subtle green apple notes and some white blossom intertwine with that iconic cold stone wash.

Thierry Laffay Chablis Premier Cru Vaillon 2021

This carefully handcrafted wine boasts purity in spades and is overflowing with character and charm. Fruit for this wine came from a unique vineyard overlooking the Goulburn River, sitting on rich alluvial soils in an area that’s home to many retired volcanoes—Dane has told us more than once that the quality of fruit from this spot is incredible! The Syrah is a blend of two separate ferments, which both underwent semi-carbonic maceration with 10 days on skins. In the glass, expect bright and lifted fruit flavours, with intermingling notes of bramble berries, boysenberry, and raspberry coulis. There’s a fresh acidity and energy to the wine that make it perfect for summertime drinking. It’s fantastic as is, but if we were you, we’d chuck this one on ice before drinking.

Un-Grafted #26 Momento Mori Carbo Syrah 2022

Red petals, strawberry & red currant aromas are followed by snappy red cherries & light, breezy tannins. Tread softly, but also quickly, before this one sells out!
