Light and delicate. There’s a lot of subtlety and nuance here and everything runs pure thanks to most fruits being destemmed and only a week on skins. It’s chilled red with an undertone of earthiness that’s alive with strawberry and pomegranate.

Siren Wine The Empress Pinot Noir 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

A clean and plush expression with sweet whole berries and a flitting carbonic note. Very juicy and very pure, but it’s more than that thanks to a little mineral element and splash of dusty tannin.

Domaine Perol Pierres Dorees Bien Eleve Gamay Beaujolais 2023

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

Zig Zag Rd Folk Nouveau Sangiovese 2023

Cabernet Franc with a splash of early-picked Chenin Blanc. It’s nice when worlds collide for flavour-filled perfection that’s full of boysenberry and mulberry. This will do perfectly with bites of carne asada and appreciated, humorous points.

Yayoi Ferot Cab Franc Chilled Red 2024

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

Scion Daylight Chilled Red 2024

Wild strawberries and raspberries that pour with some crisp, leafy tannins. There’s a little LoFi liberté here but it’s presented with that subtle Frenchness we love and comes wrapped in a firm tannin and bright acidity.

Cros des Calades Ballon Rouge 2023

We sent some of our retail staff to Latta and they came back going on and on about this Grenache which was still in barrel at that point, but wow. It’s all grown up now, and into a thought-provoking, delicious wine that’s full of strawberries, sweet spice and candied fruit.

Latta Presence Grenache Early Release Shays Flat 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

Drink it cold and by the mouthful. Of course it will sip well, but we prefer it at a boogie between inspiring conversations while some house music thuds a joyously repetitive beat, which like the wine, is a little juicy and very fun.

Honkey Chateau Tankini Chilled Red 2024

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

Super juice that’s brimming with sweet cherry, raspberry and strawberry. Take it to the couch and plonk it in an ice bucket, it’ll add some juiciness while you rewatch your favourite sitcom, or lighten-up that brooding arthouse masterpiece you've been wanting to watch for years.

Piron Coq Leon 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

Think aromatic red berries, currants and fruits that are light on their feet but threaded with a contemplative amount of tannin. Our staff and regulars love it, and despite bringing in pallets of bottles, and being the only stockist in Australia, we can’t get enough.

Piron Beaujolais Les Cadoles 2023

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

Ripe currants and earthy spices. Things feel ripe here, but never too dense, it’s easy-drinking French red. La Buvette has to go well with bavette (flank steak) right? Boil your spuds that night/morning before the meal for extra crunch and deliciousness, this is wine for tumblers, and not the goose neck kind. Plays well out of the fridge thanks to all the juicy notes.

Castelmaure La Buvette Grenache Carignan NV

Piron Beaujolais-Villages 2023

A delicious blend of Pinot Gris, Graciano and Sangiovese. Candy apple, red currant and raspberry come together with a lovely and leafy spiced edge and a smidge of tannin on the backend that can stand up to a meal.
