2020 • Little Reddie • Pat Nat • Colbinabbin Nebbiolo • Heathcote, VIC
A flirty, fizzy little thing, with the palest orange in colour. It tastes like rose petals, tart berries and apricot sherbet with a lightening bolt of citrus. Fun and tasty.
Rose Petals, Tart Berries, Fun

NV • Laherte Frères • Blanc de Blancs • 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 wine.
Savoury, White Flowers, Sultanas
$155
NV • Perrier Jouet • Grand Brut • Champagne, FR
Pretty, light and floral – think lemon butter and honey-blossom in full bloom. Crisp but complex, soft, rich and wildly moreish, Perrier Jouet is luxury in a glass. Best enjoyed in a big bubble bath.
Crisp, Floral, Lemon
$130
2021 • Moonlight • Rose Paradis • Pet Nat • Shiraz • 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.
Hibiscus, Biscuits, Dry
$60
NV • Thienot • Brut • Champagne, FR
A perfect example of an Aperitif Champagne. Thienot Brut is a mix of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Pinot Meunier. A beautifully cleansing champagne with notes of citrus and lemon blossom. Finishing off with a touch of toasty notes and brioche.
Citrus, Lemon blossom, Brioche.
$125
2022 • Little Reddie • Infringement Blanc • Pinot Gris • Harcourt, VIC
A pinot gris for the dry white wine lovers here. Light, with creamy lemon curd, fresh dill and a tonic water lift, this wine has got a little texture and damn it’s fresh. The kind of wine for a well earned thirst, pair it with something salty.
Lemon Curd, Citrus, Clean/Dry
$45
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
$60
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
$65
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
$55
2021 • Limus • Sauvignon Blanc • Mount Gambier, SA
Winemaker Kyatt has gone for a hands-off approach with this one. 100% Sauvignon Blanc, 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.
Bold, Crisp, Dry
$50
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 • Domaine des Malandes • Chablis • Chardonnay • Burgundy, FR
A wine by Lyne Marchive from her 27-hectare domaine in Chablis. Fermented in stainless steel to be sure that fruit and terroir shine through. A gorgeous pale straw dry Chardonnay with lots of white flower and minerality coming through and rounding out with hints of green apple, pear and citrus. Something special to be shared with someone special.
Floral , Citrus, Minerals
$80
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
New vintage Birbo by Marco Burrito playfully known as ‘the rascal’. All farmed by hand in Veneto. A beautifully bright and citrusy wine perfect for Sunday sessions and long lunches all summer long.
Tart and alive, Exhilarating, Free
$75
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.
Red Fruits, Savoury, Structure
$45
2022 • Jilly Wines • White Wolf of Cumbria • Cab Sauv & Shiraz • Central Ranges, NSW
A joyful, lively blend of Cabernet sauvignon & shiraz. Dry & pale Provencal style Rose, with lashings of strawberries and cream, pretty pink and fresh. A little textural, it’ll pair with dinner or serve as a moreish early afternoon apertivo.
Fresh, Strawberries & Cream, Lively
$55
2022 • Moorak • Pinot Meunier • Adelaide Hills, SA
Single site, the fruit was destemmed and cold fermented. For balance, it was stored in a mix of stainless tank and seasoned oak. Pretty inside and out, the delicate Pinot Meunier florals are balanced by a racy acidity that keeps it tight and fresh. Light, lean with gentle, creamy softness, best drunk chilled.
Vibrant, Floral, Pretty
$50
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
2021 • Le Juice • Fleurie Gamay Beaujolais, FR
A Beaujolais Gamay, always a bit of fun. The grapes are grown in the village of Fleurie, in coarse sand speckled with beautiful, bright pink granite. This sexy little number is juicy and bright with plummy, ripe fruit on the palate and a velvety finish.
Juicy, Bright, Plums
$60
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 • Regional • Ravensworth • Red Blend • Canberra Hilltops, VIC
Bryan had access to a parcel of phenomenal fruit on the Swinney vineyard in the Frankland River region of Western Australia. A highly prized bush vine Grenache and Mourvedre which is in high demand by WA’s best producers. It was blended with some top-quality Shiraz from the Hilltops and Murrumbateman regions, much closer to home. The breakdown for this inaugural release is 66% Shiraz, 17% Grenache & 17% Mourvèdre. Mid/full weight, supple in texture, with a fragrant bouquet and fresh zesty palate.
