Cassis flavours and bright with dense virid leaves and elderflower blossoms dotted throughout and some ripe citrus. It’s a cornucopia of flavours that goes perfectly with a splash of (flavoured?) tonic over ice, or a spritz of your creation – we suggest something with a little bitter lemon.

Saison Aperitifs Blackcurrant Leaf Amaro

A real life super wine that’s lovely and ripe, but sustains a lot of cool climate tension – depth. Expect plenty of minerality and a crisp finish that gives you slivers of grapefruit and citrus in a bright package that are breathtaking now, but will become more velvety with age.

Provenance Henty Chardonnay 2022

Brilliant winemakers. Fermented in amphora and oak and pouring with toasted brazil nut, lemon balm and a concentration, all of which will have you eyeing another glass before your done with your current one. Jump on in Chardy drinkers.

Dormilona Chenin Blanc 2024

Fumé Sauvignons are generally softer and have a little more oak. This follows that style with some lovely refinement. Subtle on the nose before a full and refreshing palate of grass, lime citrus and passionfruit – tastes like a picnic.

Mitchell Harris Fume Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Another reason to fall for Lambert. Get ready for briney olive tapenade, peppery meats, and a pliable tannin that never distracts you from all the blue fruits and boysenberry. A fantastic gifting wine and Shiraz for all if there ever was one.

Lambert Crudo Shiraz 2024

One of the best white Burgundy’s we’ve had in a long time! Most of the fruit is from Meursault, with some from surrounding communes where things are a little richer, but there’s a perfect amount of acidity, fruit and tannin. Pair with fancy cheese and one other person – at the most.

Matrot Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2022

Plump, juicy and round with good bright and fresh acidity washing through to amplify the purity. Gets 8-12 months in concrete to keep things expressive and savoury and punching well above its price for Beaujolais village.

Phillipe Viet Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2023

Full and rich but still showing plenty of floral elegance. Siblings, Pierro and Benedetta, use precise methods to ensure the best possible combination of concentration, acidity and ripe tannins. Brilliant, age-worthy.

Poggerino Chianti Classico 2022

Mother-daughter winemakers that have made something brilliant! Deliciously open and easy drinking with juicy purple violets and sweet cherries. Made with most Sangiovese, but a little Colorino, Canaiolo and Ciliegiolo thrown in for balance and expression.

Galognano La Foresta Chianti Colli Senesi 2022

Who’d have thought… Sangiovese plus Merlot and Sagrantino can equal a Gamay-like wine. When it’s light and delicate thanks to a favourable growing season and the vines being at altitude. Unique and lovely.

Beulah Violetta Stesso Stesso Rosso 2023

Alla Costiera Bianco Costiera 2023

Great value Shiraz that plays all the blackberry, liquorice classics with elegance. There’s also trademark sage, black fruits and sweet spice – it’s traditional at it’s best. Sometimes you just wanna play The Stones and wear Levis.

Kaesler Reach For The Sky Shiraz 2021

A melange of 12 clones from 7 parcels within the same vineyard making for a complex Pinot with opaque aromatics. Flavours are rose and earthy with a little pepperberry and saline. Brilliant tonight, but will also age well if you’re patient.

Siren Wine High Priestess Pinot Noir 2022

Light and delicate. There’s a lot of subtlety and nuance here and everything runs pure thanks to most fruits being destemmed and only a week on skins. It’s chilled red with an undertone of earthiness that’s alive with strawberry and pomegranate.

Siren Wine The Empress Pinot Noir 2023

We all know how much everyone loves Chablis, that tensile, crisp saline number from the North of Burgundy. So how about taking a walk on the wild side with Ashleigh Barrowman, an exciting young producer from NZ, making wines inspired by the Loire and Jura and this Chenin is electric with energy and pulsing with citrus and saline-laced minerals.

Siren Wine Queen of Cups Chenin Blanc 2023

The wine may not provide clarity that leads to strength, unlike the Tarot card, but it is pure with high-toned aromatics, herbs and a salty almond meal texture. Sips are wrapped in oxidative concentration and focused electric acidity. Skeptics and believers alike… rejoice in this Jura-esque Chardonnay!

Siren Wine Queen of Swords Chardonnay 2022

Crisp and crunchy rosé with plenty of white nectarine, peach and a slice of orange that’s finishes dry. Lay out the cheeseboard in whatever ordered or chaotic arrangement you're feeling, just make sure the Mini Mi Breban is chilled.

Mini Mi Breban Rose 2023

Fleshy ripe and melony with a slippery, slightly rich texture that oozes out of the bottle. Still fresh and elegant enough to go perfectly with falafel, tabouleh and even dolma. Gosh, we love dolma. Sounds like this chill day you’re having is going to get brilliant.

Amo Vino Gianco Grenache Blanc 2023

Rich with earthy fruits and soft with raisins on the edge, it all tastes as if pressed into leather. This’ll come into its own this winter, but with the weather being so… undecided, you won’t have to wait long for a cool night to enjoy it.

Luzador Los Andreses Tinto Grenache Tempranillo 2022

Grown on limestone and clay before 3 months on lees for a pillowy expression that’s full of florals and kept fresh with some nectarine notes and a little spice. Any excuse to drink Soave is a good one. Enjoy with one and a half bowls of pasta broccoli.
