'Azahar' is Spanish for Orange Blossom, giving some indication of the bouquet this sherry possesses. It is made from mature Manzanilla that has undergone a brief oxidative ageing process, incorporating some of those textbook nutty characters without shedding its original form. It inhabits this liminal stage beautifully, with notes of chamomile tea, citrus, seaspray and honey intertwining with the oxidative complexity. (500ml)

Azahar Manzanilla Vieja en Rama

The style is super bright and there’s some lees work and a little trademark Margies, new oak spice. The palate is a wash with citrus and grapefruit pith and of course, some of that Indian Ocean spray. Superb lunch wine.

A cheeky, non-alcoholic lemonade - here to brighten your summer afternoons! Using Yarra Valley lemons, makrut lime leaves, sugar, lemon myrtle, lemon zest, and filtered Yarra Valley water. A fresh take on an old-school style of lemonade, which is indeed a YUMBO. (330ml)

Yumbo Soda Co. Lemonade

The story of this wine is as long-winded and adventurous as its palate. As Willy Pérez sunk his toes further into his father Luis' winemaking operation, he began the process of returning to the traditional winemaking practices and indigenous grapes of Jerez. What results is a homage to the new and the old - powerfully rich and savoury, but with refreshing and delicate overtones that pay reference both a traditional Fino and the seaside landscape that inspired its' creation. Iodine, Balsamic & bitter black tea balanced alongside elderflower, sea spray and golden apple. Unfortified, but certified delicious.

The Margies terroir means a lot of freshness in the fruit and a little salty spray from the Indian Ocean, but it’s time in the barrel that lets all the spicy but smooth butterscotch and white peach vibes sing. Pass The Flame after a surf, or a few laps at the pool, or a soak in a hot tub.

Flametree Embers Chardonnay 2023

Hooray! We’ve made our own summer gin! It’s a creative collaboration with our mate Andrew Marks, of The Melbourne Gin Company, and we’re chuffed to say the least. While crafted with approachability and sunny vibes in mind, it’s also somewhat different to what you might expect; here, our owners, Paul and Jess, took inspiration from their Indian heritage and love of Chai tea to create a final blend consisting of eight botanicals. Tangelo, mandarin, lots of cardamom, coriander seed, cassia bark, anise myrtle, pepper berry and juniper naturally present highly-toned aromas, before a burst of refreshing citrus washes over the palate. As such, it’s definitely a candidate for refined cocktail making and is fantastic neat.

This time it's a Macadamia Brown Ale that's arrived just in time to be enjoyed fireside this winter. It's layered with deliciously creamy macadamia notes, yet light enough to crack a second can. If you're yet to be acquainted with Nornie Bero, she's the founder and Head Chef of Mabu Mabu. Hailing from Mer in the Torres Strait, Nornie is bringing indigenous ingredients to the fore and into kitchens all around Australia. Specially brewed for Good Beer Week alongside a Torres Strait Island feast and using native macadamia extract, this special beer is available exclusively at Blackhearts & Sparrows, Mabu Mabu's restaurant, Big Esso, and Stomping Ground Beer Hall.

Stomping Ground x Mabu Mabu x Blackhearts Macadamia Brown Ale

A little riper style for Sauvignon Blanc with some bottanage and barrel fermenting to give the wine more texture, making all the guava, pear, melon, and the smidge of cut grass, more prominent. Another great drop from Indented Head.

Indented Head Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Sourced from the Founders Road vineyard and serving up everything there is to love about a richer Chardy. Nectarine and ripe white peach, with some malolactic fermentation adding some nice buttery-ness to the wine alongside a little texture from some lees stirring.
