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

There's a whole menagerie of flavours in one bottle, starting off with notes of peach iced tea that sharpen up into something a little more savoury and saline, with hints of balsamic raspberries, and a racy acidity. This one will just slide on down and before you know it, you'll be onto your next bottle!

Momento Mori Rosso 2020

Sauvignon Blanc leads the charge here, blended with 15% Chardonnay fruit to create an invigorating drop with an effortless line of acidity. Its limestone soils bring tension and definition to this refreshing wine.

Domaine des Huards Pure Cheverny Blanc 2019

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

ARC Block 6 Viognier 2021

Allevare Amphora Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Jarrod Kiven Syrah 2020

Jarrod Kiven Viognier 2021

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

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

Richard Rottiers Brouilly 2020

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

Barbacan Valtellina Superiore Livel Nebbiolo 2016

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

Step into the Palomino universe and enjoy. Fresh, elegant and with a distinct saline character. Made with fruit from the lower part of their best plot "La Platera", its salinity and purity are clearly represented, due to fermentation in old champenoise tanks.

Muchada-Léclapart Univers Palomino 2019

From their best plot "La Platera" comes this pure expression with floral aromatics and notes of gunpowder that are typical of a large "Pago" (or single vineyard for our non-Spanish speak pals). Often reserved for sherry, it's the star of the show here with fruit from 60 year old vines and time in Bordeaux barrels. Lovers of Jura may want to consider crossing borders as past vintages have been likened to a Ganevat. This bottle is a perfect illumination of the Palamino grape—balanced, salty, elegant.

Muchada-Léclapart Lumière Palomino 2019

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

A nice rounded mouthfeel with a palate of stonefruit and yellow grapefruit, with subtle white floral notes. This has it all: texture, acidity and flavour are all present in harmony.

Allevare Yarra Valley Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

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.
