2021 • Alessandro Viola • Note Di Bianco • Grillo • Sicily, IT
Made from a local grape–Grillo–this textual little number is a fuller, slightly funkier style of bianco. Slightly herbal, with bright acidity and a distinctly salty and fresh finish, pair this wine with seafood, pasta or a sit down in the shower.
Textural, Apricot, Fresh

2022 • Domaine Mittnacht • Les Fossiles • Riesling • Alsace, FR
Another biodynamic wine produced by Mittnacht Freres. This wine is a fine expression of a classic Riesling. A wine with a harmonious palette filled with bright green apple, pink grapefruit, a touch of texture and beautifully dry. Finishes with just enough saltiness to make you want another sip every time. Kick back with some cheese and a glass of this amazing wine.
Green Apple, Textural, Dry

2022 • Testalonga • Keep on Punching • Chenin Blanc • Swartland, South Africa
Keep on Punching is the super-approachable Chenin Blanc from renegade South African organic vigneron, Craig Hawkins. One of the most fun and delicious chenin’s kicking around. It’s equal parts pure, bright and vibrant, with a salty saline finish. Mostly, it’s just really, really, really good. Pairs with just about anything.
Citrus, Apple, Grip, Saline

2022 • Domaine Rolet • Arbois Savagnin Ouille • Savagnin • Jura, FR
From Domaine Rolet in the Arbois, this Savagnin is made in the ‘ouille’ style, where the barrels are topped up (so, much less oxidised than their ‘sous voile’ kin) and is categorised by Rolet as floral. It’s absolutely aromatic, and has some gentle vanilla and spice from aging partly in old oak and partly in vat. All this is balanced out with some vivacious terrior driven minerality. A perfect introduction to the style – or the wine equivalent of a dear old friend for Jura lovers.
Aromatic, Vanilla, Minerals
$70
2019 • Domaine Jousset • Exilé Blanc • Chenin Blanc • Loire Valley, FR
Made from organic grapes that Lise and Bertrand source from the Loire Valley. Half Chenin Blanc from their vineyards in Touraine and half Colombard they found. Extreme mineral characters, freshness, tartness, citrus, green apple and oyster shell. Some light, cloying slip to texture but the finish is all tang and salt water. It’s fragrant too, but pretty mellow in that regard, lemon balm, more ocean air, a bit of almond. Oh, there’s nutty savouriness in flavours too. It’s outrageously delicious.
$90
2022 • Mallaluka • Pinot Grigio • Hilltops, ACT
Inspired by the Northern Italian style of skin fermented pinot grigio, our friend Sam has knocked it out of the park with this one. Deliciously tart and textural with flavours of crisp apple and sour cherry, all backed up with loads of crunchy tannin. Tasty, earthy and a little savoury, an adventure in your glass from the first sip to the last drop.
Tart, Crisp Apple, Sour Cherries
$50
2020 • Farnea • Birbo • Malvasia & Tocai • Veneto, IT

2021 • Giovanni Armani Giorgio • Rosato dell’Amore • Nebbiolo & Aglianico • Barossa Valley, SA
Perfect for aperitivo on the balcony – although when isn’t it the right time for a pink drink ? Red apple, strawberry, pomegranate, perfectly under-ripe cherries – drink it while you’re getting ready, chuck some ice cubes in it, no judgement here.

2022 • Jilly Wines • White Wolf of Cumbria • Cab Sauv & Shiraz • Central Ranges, NSW

2021 • Occhipinti SP68 • Nero D’Avola & Frappato • Sicily, IT
SP68 is a road in Sicily, and the road along which you’ll find Azienda Agricola Arianna Occhipinti. Arianna is a wildly talented young winemaker, and this wine is like her business card. Cool, pleasantly savoury, it’s delicate but retains that signature Sicilan freshness. Medium bodied, it’s light enough to drink by itself but it’s also versatile and will pair with pretty much anything. Close your eyes and be transported to simpler times.
Dark/Earthy Fruits, Fresh, Juicy
$70
2022 • Latta Vino • Wild West Red • Red Blend • Pyrenees, VIC
Eight different grape varieties, sourced from across Western Victoria and artfully blended into a devastatingly beautiful and complex red wine. Savoury, herbaceous and delicious, this wine manages to go with pretty much anything, and will please all palates. In fact, the only bad thing about this wine is running out of it.
Herbacious, Fun, Savoury
$45
2022 • Shobbrook • Poolside • Syrah • Barossa Valley, SA
