Off-dry Riesling that hits perfectly in the afternoon, don't bother looking too hard for the most idyllic gardens or waiting till golden hour, once it’s open, it’s all going to be about the bottle. Brimming with red apples and a little peachy fuzz – If you're afraid of getting a rotten apple, don't go to the barrel, get it from August Kesseler.

August Kesseler Five O'Clock Riesling 2022

Snap of red apple and blackcurrant with some twiggy tannin grip but nothing like a traditional Nebbiolo. This is light and gluggable. Drink slightly chilled with just about anything, anywhere and with anyone!

Poderi Cellario Libertà Nebbiolo 2022

Mostly Riesling with some Grigio and a little less Gewürtz. This is all high-flung acidity and a salty edge. Includes under ripe apricot and some moreish dried orchard fruit. Boogie appropriate, yes – but please pace yourself.

Konpira Maru Pan Opticon Riesling 2024

A real win for natty wine lovers out there. Sustainably grown for all the goodness, which includes watermelon rind, pickled cherries and squished raspberry in spades. The acidity is clean, and there’s some bonus pulpy texture.

Curl Curl Rosso Light Red Field Blend 2023

This one is as refreshing as it gets! An easy-drinking sour farmhouse ale, brewed with local hops, house yeast & lactobacillus, and a bucketload of fresh oranges. (330ml) 4.5% ABV

La Sirene Citray Sour

RSL-chic has been in style for years, and this is driving it all home, and you can use the bottle for passata when you're done!! Brewed to inaugurate Bodriggy's upstairs cocktail bar of the same name, Stingrays is a no-nonsense lager that's crisp, clean, and sure to be a hit with any crowd. (640ml)

Bodriggy Stingrays Finest Draught Long Neck

If you love Txakoli, get around this! You can expect a pinch of sweetness that is embellished thanks to the blossoming aromatics, that are kept lean because of the running salty lemon pith and minerality.

Gramona Ca la Mar Mustillant Blanc 2023

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 feels like a wine that’s showing off a lot of charming assets. From the green apple snap and zest of lemon citrus to the light mealy note from some time on lees, along with the chalky pith that is almost palpable, and dipped in salt. If you ever wished your Muscadet had some effervescence, this is the wine for you.

Zudugarai Getariako Txakolina 2023

Fresh green apple, fresh and clean style, packaged well, This will happily hang out with Campari and other beautiful, but dominating mixers, but go solo for the full flavour.

Alpino Prosecco Glera NV

You have some ripe citrus and apple blossom to look forward to that pushes through with just a grain of sweetness, but plenty of chalky bitter lemon aromas.

3 Drops Riesling 2023

Full of raspberry mousse and some subtle spice, it’s delicious and will absolutely inspire gossip, and maybe even some tension (between people, there’s plenty in the wine). Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, you won’t care about knocking some ball through a gate, you’ll just want another glass.

Thalia Sparkling Rose NV

Light and fragrant with a little fleshy melon and salad leaves. This is simple and clean and for all you who want a racy Riesling over lunch-dinner, but offers enough to think about. There’s some nice power here and it’ll do you some shine through if you bring it to the park and dance, glass in hand, to Juliane Werding’s Großstadtlichter after dark.

Winzerkeller Seewinkel Gruner Veltliner 2022

So Lilla, so much lime blossom and so many great times ahead. At brunch, over lunch, through the afternoon and way after dinner, you’re golden. Like dry nashi pear cascades with a dab of creamy bread. This one will get you both in flavour country if they love Campari, but you want it straight.

So Lilla by Arli Prosecco NV

A classic and one of the best! A light and refreshing brew, this uses Saaz and Austrian hops. (330ml)

Trumer Pils

If she starts going on about her favourite Sparkling, which was the one she requested, just focus on the gentle sounds of the heavenly bubbles popping in your glass and know that there’s more for you. Tastes like lemon sorbet, but with an almost creamy texture.

The Other Right Bright Young Things Chardonnay Pet Nat 2023

Crisp and bright blend with zesty citrus a little spritz that's super refreshing thanks to a lick of lemon pith, grapefruit and quinine. The label was done by the Spanish artist, Leandro Barea, aka Bazarleandro, and is one your mates will be photographing so they don't forget the name of the wine!

Quinta do Ermizio Electrico Vinho Verde 2022

A delicious, non-alc sparkling made from natural ingredients and Australian botanicals. Refreshing, crisp and packed with pretty florals, notes of peach iced tea, and just a hint of cayenne. This has long lunch written all over it!

Altina La Vie En Rose Non-Alc Sparkling Rosé NV

Easy drinking, crisp, low bitterness, and subtle Aussie hop flavours abound. (355ml) 4.8% ABV

Sailors Grave Sou' East Draught

The Barry's are onto their third generation of winemakers and this crop is making its mark. The 2022 vintage has all the trappings of a classic and all the phenolics of a wine that speaks to now, and the future. There are white flowers and lemon pith, and a driving acidity to cut it lean. Just delicious.
