In Clueless, Cher is walking past a fountain when she arrives at her “I love Josh” epiphany. Upon sampling this rosé by a different Josh we love, we imagine a fountain of rosé made spouting a melange of grapes and brimming with crisp red berries and feathery tannins.

Joshua Cooper Regional Series Rose 2024

Cool, sunny day southern Italy vibes complete with lifted aromatics, sweet nutty spices and some stylistically typical tannins that come through a little bricky. All those layers are wrapped in boysenberries and cherries. Perfect in a carafe between you and the last slice of pizza, while supporting your favourite Italian football (soccer) team.

Carlotta Rosso 2024

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

Colour and fruit in abundance for plenty of depth and a lot of super bright squishy berries that are kept savoury with just a pinch of aniseed-like spice. Serve it cool, not cold for the best of times.

David Morgan Quiet Wine Morgan Syrah 2023

Zig Zag Rd Folk Nouveau Sangiovese 2023

A purpose built chilled red. Who knew sweet florals, spices and vibrant fruits could pour with such refreshing crunch? Aside from the winemaker – Lauren Hansen, whom we'd like to thank for this gem formally. Absolutely delicious

Bloomfield Petit Verdot Chilled Red 2024

Honky Chateau Fawnsy Skin Contact 2024

A delicious blend of Fiano that saw four days on skins and whole bunch-pressed Pecorino has resulted in what can only be described as golden hour in a bottle. In the glass, expect floral jasmine and acacia alongside golden orchard fruits, touches of ripe pear and a luscious texture. A perfect match with prosciutto-wrapped melon, spicy Southeast Asian dishes or just a friend at sunset.

Parco Giallo 2024

Perfect, right down to the clean, delicious drive that’s bursting with green apple, citrus blossom, and a hint of honeysuckle. It gets along swimmingly with Campari and Aperol if you're feeling particularly spritzy.

Vino Aperto Prosecco King Valley 2024

To quote the producer... ‘It’s just the ease of it all.’ Marty’s a modest fella because there’s a lot of consideration and some smart winemaking that’s gone into this Vermentino. Consider his picking brilliant Tabilk fruit, fermenting for 7 days on skins and guiding the juice through carbonic maceration. It all adds up to brilliance and gives the profile a great blend of chamomile, honey and savoury freshness.

Elmore Vermentino 2024

It's amazing what can be done in a single work day, after 8 hours on skins, this Gris got even more peachy and introduced little softest tug of phenolic drive. And it still has the energy to impress you and all your mates – don't share it with too many people though, it's too valuable.

Latta Ex Nihilo Skin Contact Pinot Gris 2024

A touch of blush goes well with a squeeze of strawberry and watermelon and a little spice. There’s red fruit too, so that’s body and shape which is always welcome but things are kept lean with some fresh acidity.

Cloudbreak Nouveau Sparkling NV

A BBQ Pét Nat if there ever was one. Smooth strawberry and crunchy red fruits come together savoury and dry. Tell your parents it’s Shiraz and watch the confusion for a moment before they try it, then the smiles at their first sip. Don’t worry if they don’t love it, that just means there’s more for you.

First Foot Forward Shiraz Pet Nat 2023

Violets and some tumbling true-to-Cab Franc greenery that’s kept red, in flavour, with wild plums – skins and all! Has all the Lofi jubey feels and can use a little chill to cool down that slow roast lamb you woke up at 7am to prep and put on.

Carto Wines Cabernet Franc 2022

Proud Primary Produce Up The Mountain Fresh Red Pinot Shiraz Merlot 2022

We’ve seen orange peels, wheels and wedges, but an orange dart is rare – well, not here. It’s hitting triple 20 every time and splattering sweet cherry juice everywhere for even more fun. There’s hardly any tannin here, it’s all delicious guzzle, right down to the refreshing acidity. One Hundred and Eighty!

Konpira Maru Square Root of 5 Sangiovese 2024

This year the fruit is from the Coal River and we are loving it! Tensile and freshly fruited with just enough oak. There’s texture to make all the white peach and nectarine feel almost visible, and it’s all smooth thanks to some driven vanilla cream notes.

Stoney Rise Coal River Valley Chardonnay 2024

From the guitarist, Matthew Aulich who was a founding member of Hobart band The Paradise Hotel, comes an annual hit that’s full of red frogs, red cherries and currants. It’s super good with a lazy summer evening pizza, and you can even put it in the fridge to dial up the refreshment.

Blood Moon Sang de Etoiles Sangiovese 2024

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

Light and dry, but full of jubey fruit and berry flavours that taste better than the chemical-compound, squishy alternatives and might be cheaper than the punnets required to make an actual bowl of mixed berries at the moment. It’s a chilled red, so drink it when you’re chilling in the park, or when you want to keep refreshed while eating a roast chook.
