Pepper. That’s what you’re in for here, but it comes with smooth love, not bite so don’t move along yet, and don’t worry because it’s all propped up with red fruits, chewy tannins and a good amount of spice. Perfect with grill marks, tongues and comedic aprons that have never really been funny.

Quinta de Chocapalha Mar de Lisboa Syrah Touriga 2020

There are hints of lemonade and the ora of dreamy Saturday afternoons, but you can plug it into any part of your week and have a great (and responsible) time. Non-Alc Belini/ Mimosa anyone?

Tread Softly Gently Removed Zero Alc Prosecco NV

Tommy's Limoncello Lemon Spritz 330ml

The Ghost guys have really hit their straps with this one, it’s all blood plum and blackberries eaten on the farm, fresh from the pickers’ hands. There’s also some elevating black pepper spice and tannins that develop on the palate.

Gravity Wine Co. Ghost Syrah 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

Fluffy and softly red fruited with foamy, but still crunchy, red apples and just a little berry goodness, there’s some nice complexity here. It’s kept on lees to this day, so get ready for a lick of herby perfection. Shines at a house party and is radiant in the park.

Chalmers Col Fondo Sparkling Rosato 2021

Mr Banks West Coast IPA

Balanced malty boy with bright, hoppy notes. Round and full for a lighter beer that'll have you chatting about swell forecasts and wind direction. Delicious! (375ml) 3.5% ABV

Balter Captain Sensible

15 different types of chilli blended with Tassie sea salt that comes together as a fruity sauce with a little zing. Splash some on your morning eggs, into your Bloody Marys, all over any homemade and ordered-in masterpiece/disaster that needs a little spicy bliss.

Rough Rice Green Crock Chilli 200ml

Bright Brewing Hellfire Amber 355ml

If it sounds like it can’t miss… then it can’t miss. BYO eggplant parma–add a little soy to your marinade.

Giovanni Armani Giorgio Rosso Sangiovese Merlot 2023

We think so… Tread Softly take the time to get the profile to a point where it stands up straight and proud, supported by red orchard fruits, blackcurrants and just a smidge of dusty tannins. Perfect on a sunny afternoon, and over a lovely dinner.

Tread Softly Gently Removed Zero Alc Pinot Noir 2022

Deliciously ripe and fleshy cherry notes, wrapped delicately in tobacco leaf and a lovely bitter cherry edge in this Chianti that’s sitting more in the plush and weightier.

Tenuta Casabianca Chianti Collo Senesi 2021

Was carbonated for ten days so there’s a little flit that keeps all those big flavours sharp and ripe. The Gamay gets your curiosity, but it’s the Shiraz that holds your attention.

GUM Gaz Gamay Shiraz 2023

It’s all soft and plush red cherries entwined in a brisk acidity, like your friend who’s juicy but dry and sharp with some sass.

Hillbilly Single Vineyard Woodside Gamay 2022

First of all, it smells delicious and with all its macerated raspberry, cherry and strawberry, it drinks without a care in the world. It’ll also work with just a little chill which is great because we’re hoping summer will take over autumn and run into winter.

Vinoque Same Same Pinot Meunier Pinot Noir 2023

Rough Rice Fire Tiger Tonic 200ml

Rough Rice Preserved Lemon Salsa 200ml

Pure berry conserve and punnets of raspberry delight the palate with hints of orange and chinotto and some lovely lightly bitter, ashy tannin to finish. With all its super pretty nuova Siciliana vibes, your friends will thank you while you pour them a glass, but they’ll love (even more) after they finish their glass.

Rouleur Nero d' Avola 2023

It’s one of our favourite table Chardonnay’s every year. Always gets three votes at a park party, and loves to hang with Brie and crackers. If all that didn’t get you over the line, there’s also fresh stone fruit and a little lemon curd on the palate.
