Some things play sweet, but the sweetness stays out of the way because your eye (and palate) is too busy loving all the big orange notes here, which dance with local botanicals— strawberry gum and lemon myrtle. Pour generously in a highball over ice. Yum.

Scintilla Apero Blanc Vermouth 2023

A mostly whole-bunch fermentation that shows off some skinsy Chardonnay, but with phenolic edges that are lifted by the Sauvignon Blanc with Swayze-like. When floating up there, you'll feel floral and citrus goodness, and a fresh-cut grass feel.

Scintilla Elektrik Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay 2023

Bright and crunchy with cherry pips, cranberry and drops of boysenberry that shine through along with some trademark Sangiovese dusty tannin, and crispy acidity

Carlotta Sangiovese 2023

Pulpy with a little oxidative edge. This drinks broad so a lot of people are going to love it, and find attractive flavours in every sip. Ripe apple is pretty consistent throughout, like a smile.

Scintilla River Balhannah Chardonnay 2023

24’s Riesling comes with concentrated lime, lemon thyme and citrus blossom. With subtle layers of coriander and lemongrass, gun smoke and autumn fruits. Put it on the table when you’re making a curry for instant cuisine elevation.

Ottelia Riesling 2024

Full of value and midweek bliss, but with a nice bit of weekend class. It’ll impress the heck out of your parents at your next lunch, or become a regular favourite whenever you can get your hands on a bottle.

Woodvale Sharegarden Shiraz 2021

Drinking this conjures up images of a crisp green apple peel, ribboning out of a peeler. There’s also a little green nashi pear and layers of refreshing pith, fresh acid, and white pepper that comes through with the mineral feels.

La Prova Fiano 2023

Take one to see what all the fuss is about, and a second to really enjoy all the delightful, lengthy lemon-lime driven dreaminess. Complete with some cool-season depth and freshness, this is the prince of BYO – especially if you’re hungry for curry and tikkas. Yum!

Grosset Springvale Riesling 2024

This is another multi-generational banger that'll suit every family member at the lunch/dinner table, especially if the BBQs on and your best griller has the tongues. We love it for the chewy tannins and generosity of the fruit. It also just feels exactly like a McLaren Vale Grenache blend should, whilst still being original, and creative.

Paralian Blewitt Springs Grenache Shiraz 2023

Hello from the Eden Valley, your slightly cooler, more elevated region bordering the Barossa for those playing along at home. Drinks like a summer evening, complete with cooling, minty tannin (breeze) and a velvety fruit warmth that's rich and inviting. Feels like a red to sit with at the park over a couple of chapters, or some nice conversation.

Barr Eden Dreams of Gold Shiraz 2023

Very violety and full of the floral charm to backup all the red fruited substance, and a little nutty tannin. There's depth and savoury intent, this absolutely punching above it's $. Don't be scared to get a crust on that porterhouse, blanch some spring beans and ubereats in some maccas fries you'll have yourself a grand ól time!

Vine Mind Shiraz & Friends 2022

Bullman Grenache Rose 2024

Wangolina Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Pours with just a hint of liquorice for a point of difference and a heaps of that plummy, dark mulberry fruit which'll have you returning for more and more and more bottles. Comfortable like thick socks on a cold night in and a little streaming. Buy 6 for 10% off and keep on hand for the odd, chilly summer nights that are coming.

Kurtz Family Seven Sleepers Shiraz 2022

Well-balanced sweetness. Dark berries and plums that sparkle, or bubble even. Notes are worth journaling because they’re mulberry and a stingy piece of dark chocolate – apparently, I break off too much and need to be ‘monitored’ at family functions when the block comes out. Don’t worry, it’s on my list of things to work through with my therapist.

Gudilly Sparkling Shiraz NV

Offer up glasses of flowing, liquored berries, sweet cherries and some blackcurrant essence tonight to yourself or those lucky enough to be in your (and this bottle’s) company. Soft n plush with enough tannin to keep you engaged, even after the conversation has lulled and everyone’s on Insta.

Gudilly Shiraz 2022

Philosophers say that even in dreams, we create problems because we want something to overcome. I have this recurring dream where, despite pouring from a full 750ml bottle, I can’t fill up my glass with the 150mls I want which means I only ever get to enjoy just a sip of all the black currant cassis and tobacco a wine like this offers.

Gudilly Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Aromatic and easy-drinking that’s one of those you open, pour, drink and forget about. This doesn’t mean it’s ambient, just that it’s agreeable with all the plush red fruits and berries you’ve grown up loving in Pinots. So good with dips and chips. Speaking of… how come people don’t have dip for dinner? Why is it always a snack and why can’t it be a meal?

Gudilly Pinot Noir 2023

Aromatic and easy-drinking that’s one of those you open, pour, drink and forget about. This doesn’t mean it’s ambient, just that it’s agreeable with all the plush red fruits and berries you’ve grown up loving in Pinots. So good with dips and chips.

Gudilly Rose Pinot Noir 2023

In northern Italy, it's often paired with fish dishes and creamy lunches. This SA version is pure refreshment and delicate with flowers and just a hint of crisp pear, you're going to love it.
