Bullman Grenache Rose 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

Of course, the one he loves hangs on a wall at MoMA, but if he ever comes in here, we’ll know what to sell him – this chillable cinsault that drinks like strawberry juice with some spritzy depth and fun. It’s park or party wine, or party at the park wine. Imagine laying on the grass with Neil, you’ve both split a bottle, while he tells you about the stars.

Smallfry Starry Night Cinsault 2023

Barossa Grenache that’s turned all the way up and pours with fanning tannins and pepper that comes kicking, but not screaming. There’s more though – like sweet cherry, sarsaparilla and some sage and green herb flavours.

Naked Run The Aldo Grenache 2021

From the pulpy, leesy texture to the honeyed richness that pours with just enough oxidative edge to impress a Jura mate. It’s got the goods when it comes to the savoury matters too, and will be oh so perfect with fish curries.

Oria-Riff Old Vine Semillon 2023

Think strawberries, but with some savoury sage and soft tannins to keep it all light and refreshing, but the structure’s there so every sip will invite a little thought, as well as tasty enjoyment.

Tim Smith Bugalugs Grenache 2022

Sourced from both family-owned and grower vineyards throughout the Barossa, including some that are the oldest in the region, this Grenache shows a real sense of place. In the glass, ripe strawberry and raspberry coulis are complemented by a little sage, saltbush and some lovely sandy tannins tightening it up before the nice and savoury finish.

Corryton Burge Grenache 2022

There's a beautiful generosity here without dipping into the sweet and jammy territory, with plenty of black spice in the glass balancing out the fruit, with some boysenberry conserve and a touch of bitter cocoa on the finish. Delish.

Crate Shiraz 2021

Fourth-generation winemaker, Steve Kurtz, is really utilising the brilliant old wine fruit at his disposal here. This wine exemplifies those Barossa characteristics: big, bold, and with prominent tannins completing the warming fruit, baking spice and just a hint of coffee so many of us love.
