Blanc de Blancs • Laherte Frères • Brut Nature • Champagne, FR • A breath-taking champagne from an outstanding producer. Aurelien Laherte’s blanc de blancs is a true expression of terroir. It’s pure, focused and energetic. It smells like a fresh baguette and a little packet of sultanas, tastes like persimmon and the ocean, and is reminiscent of a giant bouquet of white flowers inside a bakery on a cool morning. The finish is long, dry and briny – the perfect aperitif, there is literally never a wrong occasion for this win
$165
Perrier Jouet • Champagne • France• Pretty, light and floral – think lemon butter and honey-blossom in full bloom. Crisp but complex, soft, rich and wildly moreish, Perrier Jouet (pronounce the ‘t’ !) is luxury in a glass. Best enjoyed in a big bubble bath.
$150
Moonlight • Rose Paradis • Pet Nat • Shiraz • 2021 • Riverland, SA • This is Grownup Party Time in a bottle. Red frog lollies and rose hip tea, hibiscus – kinda biscuity, slightly earthy and completely dry. Fun and fizzy, tart, refreshing, delicious, this is anytime-kind-of-wine.
$55
Little Reddie • Pat Nat • 2020 • Colbinabbin Nebbiolo • Vic The most fun you can have without taking your clothes off. A flirty, fizzy little thing, the palest orange in colour. It tastes like rose petals, tart berries and apricot sherbet with a lightening bolt of citrus. If this wine was a person they’d probably convince you to go to karaoke at 2am but they would also shout you brunch the next day.
$55
Jousset Exilé Blanc • Domaine Jousset Chenin • Blanc -Colombard • 2019 • Made from organic grapes that Lise and Bertrand source from the Loire Valley, this vintage of the Exilé blanc is the result of a literal backpacking/grape harvesting mission that Bertrand went on in 2016 when the vines in the Loire were hit hard by frost and hail in the summer. Half Chenin Blanc from their vineyards in Touraine and half Colombard hey found on that trip. Extreme minerally 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
Testalonga • Baby Bandito • Keep on Punching • 100% Chenin Blanc • 2022′ • From Swartland, South Africa, one of the most fun and delicious chenins kicking around.

$65
Infringement Pinot Gris • Pat Underwood • 2022 • Leanganook, VIC • A pinot gris for the dry white wine lovers here.

The kind of wine for a well earned thirst, pair it with fish & chips or something salty.
$40
Limus • Sauvignon Blanc • 2021 • Mount Gambier, SA • From Cape Jaffa, winemaker Kyatt has gone for a hands-off approach with this one. 100% savvy bee, it’s bold and fruity with a crisp dry finish, thanks to the beautiful limestone soils on the South Australian coastline. A true crowd pleaser here, this wine is the epitome of balance. Get into it!
$52
Alessandro Viola • Note Di Bianco • Grillo • Sicily, IT • 2021 • Ahh, Sicily. But this ain’t the White Lotus, and this ain’t your average white wine. 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 your biggest sunglasses, seafood, pasta or a sit down in the shower.
$55
Mallaluka • Pinot Grigio • Sam Leyshon • ACT • 22′ 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.

$45
Dormilona • Skinnie • Sauv Blanc • Margaret River, WA • 2021 • A slippery, slurpable skin contact wine from a wickedly good female winemaker, Dormilona means “lazy bones” – slip into a robe and pour yourself a big’ol glass and we’ll call it self care. Tastes like peaches and first kisses.
$50
BKonpira Maru • Admiral Ackbar (Semillon) • Kilmore, VIC, AUS • 2021• It’s a trap!… for fantastic drinking. A fresh and clean textural Semillon with a whole lotta mouth-watering acidity. Partial malolactic fermentation and three weeks on skins has added texture and a little tannin kick on the finish, and because it’s un-fined and unfiltered it is almost in the realm of ‘cloudy goodness’!
$40
Giovanni Armani Giorgio • Rosato dell’Amore • Nebbiolo + Aglianico • SA, AUS • 2021 • Perfect for aperitivo on the balcony – although when isn’t it the right time for a pink drink ? What does it taste like ? Red apple, strawberry, pomegranate, perfectly under-ripe cherries – drink it while you’re getting ready, chuck some ice cubes in it, no judgement here. No pants necessary.
$40
Kerri Greens • Pinots de Mornington Rose • Mornington Peninsula, VIC, AU • 2021 • A blend of pinots noir, meunier and gris, this rose is plush and fruity. Like fresh whipped cream and strawberries in a glass. Still dry, never fear – but with a richness and complexity which will suit anything you feel like pairing it with, from cheese to curry. Cheers to that!
$50

$70

$55

$45
Jumping Juice • 2021 •Mornington Peninsula, VIC • A pinot noir that is made seriously with seriously good times in mind. Juicy and fresh there’s layers of bright fruity intensity here, backed up by cedary spice and the lightest of tannin structure that can be pondered over or just slurped with glee. Jump in!
