Bright, lifted blue fruits, spicy lined tannin and some chewy acidity – they might be some of the words you want to hear if you need a red for a BBQ. The fact that it's all savoury and chalky also means it’ll pair well with slow-roast lamb, blue cheese, and dark chocolate, so yes take it with you to that BBQ.

Higher Plane Time for Heroes Malbec 2023

Rich and textural, with grilled nuts on the pallet and some lingering white peach and oak spice, backed up with creamy cashew and ripe nectarine flavours.

Miles From Nowhere Chardonnay 2022

Domaine Naturaliste Discovery Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2023

Break Free Petit Blanc Chenin Blanc Chardonnay Gewurtztraminer on Skins 2022

We’re in on that alone, but there’s also a sturdy backbone of compact stone fruit and a nice citrussy-sherbety pull of acidity to keep you energised over the warmer months. We recommend pouring this into a fishbowl-sized wine glass, giving it a little swirl and savouring everything it has to offer. Superb modern Chardonnay that also deserves some space in the cellar.

Nocturne Treeton Sub Region Chardonnay 2022

An absolute beauty of a Chardonnay that sits just on the lighter, softer side in the context of Margaret River style. This will please the gambit of Chardy drinkers with its relaxed feel, a lick of toasty oak sweetness and a delicately creamy feel from some lees stirring. Delicious!

Voyager Estate Coastal Chardonnay 2022

Easy, flowy fruit with a little gooseberry and nettle. It’s got a sound line of acidity and a little dry-to-savoury bite that’ll see it welcoming all the chilli and lemongrass you can top your noodle soup with.

Happs I Series Semillon Sauv Blanc 2023

Vibrant on the nose with plenty of floral and cassis notes and juicy in the glass with some sappy tannin rounding out on the palate. If you're planning a night in you need this wine.

Deep Woods Cabernet Franc 2023

Refreshing and just a little warming, this one’s full of citrus, a tiny piece of fresh-cut pineapple with just enough acidity and some sticky phenolics. Textures are comforting like curling your toes in the sand on the beach while a dear friend tells you something hilarious.

Deep Woods Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Crushed violets and blackcurrants with a ribbon of red apple skin. They’re bottling harmony in Margies, and it comes with some lifting dried tobacco and a drop of olive brine. Simultaneously classic and uniquely perfect like that coastline.

Deep Woods Estate Reserve Cabernet 2022

Propping all that fruit up is some nice cashew, pulled warm bread and lemon rind. There’s a lot of drive and power here, but it’s never overwhelming.

Deep Woods Estate Reserve Chardonnay 2023

BYO Linen shirts and super yachts. Light, fine and expressive with the perfect amount of phenolic crunch and freshness. It’s almost all Sangiovese, but there’s just enough Tempranillo to dial up the punch and spice. This is damn fine wine.

Nocturne Sangiovese Tempranillo Rose 2023 MAGNUM 1500ml

Pours with plenty of green herbs, crunchy tart citrus and some sleek texture that makes for a little slip and glide. So if you are looking for a local but Loire Valley varietal wine, this is the best of both worlds.
