Superbly textural, this is packed with rich pear, ripe red apple, subtle ginger spice & a lovely line of acid tension woven through, from its cooler east-west orientation in the vineyard. With lovely length, it leaves an impression of flavour that stands up to a meal with a little kick.

Taturry Applewood Pinot Gris 2019

Intensely aromatic Sauvignon Blanc from our Kiwi neighbours—this is less herbal and sits more on the fruit spectrum. It's concentrated, bursting with passionfruit and quite rich in style, in other words, it's a perfect winter white! Sustainability is at the forefront of the Vavasour family's practice, and they take a hands-off approach to winemaking, with organic certification just around the corner for Awatere River. (750ml) 12.5% ABV

Awatere River Savée See Sauvignon Blanc 2021

The Derwent portion was 100% whole bunch fermented using only light foot plunges. The weather wasn't as kind to the Huon fruits, instead, this portion was destemmed and sorted, leaving only the best fruit for whole-berry fermentation. The resulting wine is a celebration of the softness and elegance of Huon fruit and the structure and spice of the Derwent. It's approachable and drinking beautifully in its youth.

Marco Lubiana Huon & Derwent Pinot Noir 2021

It's a lovely evolution of the style and speaks to the tension and line that comes from the cooler vintage and the region itself. Nectarine, pear and a fresh saline acidity, with a bit more than a kiss of oak adding some weight and toast to the wine. Dry, refreshing, delicious and impressive. (750ml) 12.5% ABV

Lightfoot & Sons Myrtle Point Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

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

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 & Minus Premium Alcohol-Free Shiraz 2021

2021 vintage delivered both exceptional fruit complexity and laser-like acid drive. Struck match on the nose leads to some ripe citrus, nectarine and an astute acid tension. Enough toastiness and textural detail to please the palates of the full spectrum of Chardy lovers.

Dappled Appellation Chardonnay 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

Taken from Best's own clones from the historic Concongella Vineyard, with vines averaging 40-years old. It sees 18 months in oak, with scrupulous barrel selection producing a wine of intense character and complexity. Rich dark plum and sweet blackberry laden with Szechuan peppercorn and clove spice. Oak influence is pronounced but seamlessly integrated, with some plush tannins building through to a long and complex finish. Drink now or cellar for 5-10 years.

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

Bass River Sparkling Brut 2018

Winemaker, Nick is the son of inimitable Gary Farr and he injects his own style into the Farr Rising wines—all while retaining that Farr star quality. Red berry flavours are paired with an earthy savouriness, vibrant acidity, and fine tannins. Delicious.

Farr Rising Gamay 2021

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.

Sweet blackcurrant and jubey red fruits meet a dusting of tannins and a little Shiraz meatiness on the palate. Don't wait on this one—drink now and enjoy!

Jericho GSM 2020

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.

The Story Super G Grenache Syrah Mourvèdre 2021

A delicious and rich palate bursting with plummy fruits and chalky tannins, with just a little bit of greenery nestled in. Grab a few bottles because this is delectable blend of Dolcetto, Nero d'Avola and Touriga is going to be suuuper slurpable all winter long!
