- Non-Traditional Sparkling
- Grenache Blanc
- Terra Alta, SP
- Andrea Miró
Wine Description
This sparkling gem is made exclusively from 100% White Grenache (Garnacha Blanca) using the Naturalment Ancestral Sparkling method, keeping it clean, wild, and true to its origins. Produced in Terra Alta, Catalonia by rising star in Spanish winemaking Andrea Miró, the nose opens with delicate aromas of dried pineapple, musk, and floral notes, complemented by ripe pear and a hint of warming ginger spice. A gentle whiff of freshly baked breadcrumbs and juicy apples lingers in the background.
On the palate, ‘Textura 3’ is a beautifully creamy, leesy delight, with a lovely body that gives way to soft, dancing bubbles. The texture is rich yet lifted, revealing layers of spiced candied ginger and toasty undertones. Reaching for another glass? Us too.
About the Winemaker
- Non-Traditional Sparkling
- Muscat, Müller Thurgau Gris and Gewürztraminer
- Tamar Valley, TAS
- Cynthea Semmens | Marion's Vineyard
Wine Description
The 2022 MV Lunacy Pet Nat - a vibrant, pink-hued, lightly fizzy delight made from an aromatic field blend of Gwertzaminer, Muller Thurgau-Gris and Muscat, co-fermented and bottled under the magic of the full moon. The nose is an enticing mix of rose petal, coriander seed, and meaty richness, layered with a hint of black pepper and butterscotch. On the palate, a delicate, effervescent fizz carries bright flavours of orange zest and sherry-like nuttiness, giving way to a silky texture with a touch of marshmallow root. Free-spirited, and dangerously drinkable.
About the Winemaker
- Light White
- Gewürztraminer
- King Valley, VIC
- Grace + Sophie Darling | Darling Estate
Wine Description
Crafted by sisters Grace and Sophie Darling, this dry-fermented Gewürztraminer is a classic beauty, offering bright acidity and delicate florals. The fruit is lightly pressed before fermentation and aged in a ceramic egg - a vessel that enhances texture and complexity while maintaining the wine’s signature freshness. The result is a dry and refreshingly crisp expression of Gewürztraminer, with all the exotic appeal that makes this varietal so beloved.
On the nose, it’s a fragrant medley of lemon, lime, and sea salt, softened by juicy notes of rock melon, lime soda, lychee, and green grapes. The palate is just as exciting, opening with a burst of freshly squeezed lemon and sea salt, balanced by a fine chalky grip and delicate hints of white flowers.
About the Winemaker
- Medium White
- Roussanne and Riesling
- Barossa Valley, SA
- Suzi Hilder + Wayne Ahrens | Smallfry Wines
Wine Description
A full-bodied Roussanne that dances with acid-driven Riesling, this wine is both traditional and playful, offering layers of texture and complexity. Whole bunches are basket-pressed to barrel, keeping the winemaking process simple and pure. On the nose, it’s a fragrant swirl of apple sauce, spiced pear, and warm apple strudel, drawing you in. The palate is electric - zippy and salty, with beautiful, bright acidity that mirrors the fruit and spice from the nose.
About the Winemaker
- Medium Heavy White
- Chardonnay
- Goulburn River, VIC
- Greta Moon + Dr Mike Boudry | MOON Wine
Wine Description
A striking expression of its Nagambie Lakes terroir, the 2023 MOON Chardonnay beautifully balances crisp natural acidity and savoury complexity. This vintage is defined by restrained fruit, allowing subtle citrus and stone fruit notes to mingle with a textured, almost saline minerality. There’s a definite Chenin Blanc vibe here - no new oak either, just a creamy, honeyed richness that enhances the wine’s natural vibrancy.
On the nose, it’s a heady mix of aniseed, liquorice, and underripe pineapple, creating an aromatic tension between brightness and spice. The palate is rich yet poised, unfolding into flavours of fig and almond cake, white liquorice, and set honey. This is really yummy Chard, layered and compelling, with a finish that lingers just long enough to keep you coming back for more.
Hand-harvested and wild-fermented, this Chardonnay embodies the purity of its origins, with unfiltered indigenous yeasts shaping its distinctive character. Cannot get enough!!
About the Winemaker
- Orange
- Semillon
- Hunter Valley, NSW
- Leesa + Samuel Mealing | Bad Neighbours Wine
Wine Description
This 2024 Skin Contact Semillon takes a classic Hunter variety and gives it a distinct edge. Pressed over Gewürztraminer skins (yum!), it’s textural and aromatic with layers of spice and flinty minerality. The nose opens with floral potpurri, fennel, coriander seed and white pepper - a real zap to the nostrils. But don't worry! On the palate you'll find some sweet honey mustard, chamomile and cool cucumber to refresh the senses. The ideal partner for your next beach trip or backyard barby.

Crafted from hand-picked fruit in Heathcote, this rosé is all fruity goodness! A whiff of aromatic green rhubarb lures you in first, before expanding into a bouquet of sweet strawberries and cream and vanilla. Utterly delicious.
About the Winemaker
- Chilled Light Red
- Tempranillo, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon
- Margaret River, WA
- Josephine Perry | Dormilona
Wine Description
The 2024 ‘aka’ Tempranillo Shiraz Cabernet from Dormilona captures the essence of the Margaret River’s natural beauty. On the nose, the wine reveals an intriguing combination of red fruit, lollies, and the playful scents of plastic gloves (it's better than it sounds, trust us!) and sherbet, followed by a subtle struck match aroma that adds a flinty minerality. These all set the stage for a bright and exciting palate, where spearmint and raspberry dance alongside salted fruit for a dynamic mouthfeel.
About the Winemaker
- Chilled Red
- Pinot Gris, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir
- Whitlands Plateau, VIC
- Clare Burder | Eminence Wines
Wine Description
The 2024 Pinot X 3 is an absolutely brilliant red, made from 3 varietals: Pinot Gris, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir! Complex and intriguing on the nose with a musky, meaty richness, green capsicum and jammy, brambly aromas, the palate is equally captivating, with tart raspberry and bright cranberry. A silky, creamy texture envelopes the palate, with a finish reminiscent of sour beer but without the sourness. Fascinating, huh! And full of personality.
About the Winemaker
- Light Red
- Pinot Noir
- Tamar Valley, TAS
- Abbie Hoskin + James Brawley | Any Roads Wine
Wine Description
Any Roads' latest release is a wine that beautifully captures the rugged elegance of northern Tasmania. On the nose, it opens with a tapestry of warm spice, led by star anise and clove, which weave through an earthy undercurrent of wild oregano and forest floor. A distinct savoury edge emerges, reminiscent of leafy herbs and umami-rich anchovy-stuffed olives, adding depth and intrigue. The palate is equally compelling, balancing bright red fruit with a silky texture that lingers effortlessly. A jammy core of ripe berries unfolds, cushioned by fine tannins and a fresh, vibrant acidity that keeps the wine lifted and expressive.

- Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre
- Côtes du Rhône, FR

The 2021 Cotes du Rhône from Domaine Elodie Balme is vivid and completely joyful. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre from vines ranging from 20 to 80 years old, the wine reveals a powerful yet perfumed profile, with aromas of cassis, blackcurrant, and sloe berry mingling with the warm, earthy notes of garrigue, black olives, and a touch of peppery liquorice. On the palate, the wine is fresh and juicy, with lively cherry and raspberry wrapped in a mildly spicy grip.
About the Winemaker
- Medium Red
- Sciascinoso
- Campania, IT
- Alexia Capolino | Capolino Perlingieri
Wine Description
The 2021 ‘Sciasci’ Sciascinoso from Capolino Perlingieri is as complex as it is bold. Made by Alexia Capolino Perlingieri from the Solopaca region of Benevento, the nose opens with smoky leather and bitter tobacco, followed by herbal undertones reminiscent of cough medicine and the aromatic qualities of dried bay and violet. Sounds intense, right? Just wait. The palate offers a bright acidic freshness and distinct grassy notes for ultimate balance.
About the Winemaker

- Yarra Valley, VIC
- Natillie Johnston | Tillie J Wines
Wine Description
Bright and zippy, Anna’s Rosé is a Shiraz-based rosé with fruit originating from Martingale Vineyard in Gruyere, where north-west facing slopes help build flavour while keeping things fresh.

Dangerously quaffable!
