- Pinot Blanc, Pinot Auxerrois, Riesling and Pinot Gris
- Alsace, FR
- Véronique + Thomas Muré | Domaine Muré
Wine Description
This brut smells exactly like Crémant d’Alsace should - a little floral, a little fruity, sort of like the grown-up sibling of your go-to sparkling. A blend of Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, Pinot Gris, and Riesling (with a little kiss of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir), it pours with a delicate mousse and a persistent crown of bubbles. Think orchard fruit on the nose - apple, pear, even cantaloupe - lifted by white flowers and linden, gentle hits of vanilla and cinnamon here and there too. The palate is fresh, with buttery brioche and citrus. Seriously drinkable, a good one to whip out at your next weekend do, pairs just as well with a plate of freshly shucked oysters as it does a low-key Tuesday in on the couch.

- Non-Traditional Sparkling
- Merwah
- Bekaa Valley, LEB
- Claudine Lteif and Michelle Chami | Heya Wines
Wine Description
A sparkling with soul - and a few apples. ‘Farha’ means joy, and that’s exactly what this bottle delivers. A co-ferment of 80% Merwah (an ancient white grape native to Lebanon) and 20% Red Delicious apples, grown at 1500m in the remote Wadi Annoubine valley. It’s a wild blend that works so beautifully: zippy, juicy, and a little rustic. It gives a big whack of golden apple first off, then zesty citrus and spice. The apples go through carbonic maceration, the Merwah gets skin contact, and the whole thing is left undisgorged, unfined, unfiltered, and naturally fermented with no fluff or additives - just a touch of sulphur to keep things in check. Textural, dry, and full of character, with a salty finish that leaves you reaching for another sip.

- Light White
- Fiano and Minutolo
- Puglia, IT
- Camilla Rossi Chauvenet | Massimago
Wine Description
This certified organic white from Puglia is as charming as its namesake. Made from 85% Fiano and 15% Minutolo, the Segreto di Bianca is equal parts fragrant, juicy, and salty. Bright straw in the glass, it offers an expressive citrus fruits on the nose, with yellow plum, peach skin, and sage all laced with a subtle Mediterranean salinity. The palate is soft and rounded but lifted by a lively streak of acidity and a lingering, savoury finish that hums with lemon peel and sea spray. A beautiful Fiano!

- Medium Heavy White
- Chenin Blanc
- Western Cape, RSA
- Suzaan + Chris Alheit | Alheit Vineyards
Wine Description
A young vine Chenin, oh how I love!! ‘Hereafter Here’ is Alheit’s ode to the future - to new plantings, younger sites, and the promise of what’s to come. Pressed as whole bunches early in the morning, the juice is wild fermented in old barrels, kept on full lees for 12 months, then aged a further 6 months in the tank. No additions. No fining. Just careful, minimal handling and maximum texture. Aromatically complex and gently savoury, it's all white citrus, dried herbs, peach stone, lemon oil and bitter almond. The palate is silky and textural, with a bit of honeydew, white peach and savoury lees notes too. Rich but not overtly fruity... more plush and harmonious to it's fullest extent. A favourite this month!

- Medium Heavy White
- Pinot Noir
- Adelaide Hills, SA
- Candice Helbig + Frewin Ries | CRFT Wines
Wine Description
A beautifully crafted White Pinot Noir from CRFT’s cold-climate estate vineyard in Carey Gully. This is a single-vineyard, whole-bunch and direct-pressed wine, wild fermented and barrel-aged for 9 months in French oak ... so prepare yourself. Expect some rosewater, orange blossom and guava on the nose, with a palate full of musk lollies, citrus, and a gentle mid-palate viscosity. There’s spice, a little nuttiness, and a trail of blood orange acidity that hums with minerality. It's bloody delicious! Proper grown-up rosé energy - bright, layered and oh-so drinkable.

- Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris
- Porongurup, WA
- Yoko Luscher-Mostert + Andries Mostert | Brave New Wine
Wine Description
A wild and wonderful skinsy blend, the 2021 ‘Doppelgänger’ is all texture and energy. Mostly Riesling, with Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Gewürz and a splash of Sauv Blanc - all fermented separately on skins anywhere from two weeks to nine months, then blended with a multi-vintage solera started back in 2014! Expect lifted aromatics like mandarin peel, ginger spice, fennel seed, jasmine tea, even a touch of eucalyptus... and loads of juicy, chalky grip. Fermented wild, aged in old oak and ceramic egg, unfined and unfiltered, it’s zippy, chewy, crunchy, it's a very welcome assault on the palate. Definitely not your average white that's for sure.

- Pauline Passot | Domaine de la Grosse Pierre
Wine Description
Juicy and utterly joyful, made with whole-cluster Gamay from 60-year-old vines grown on pink granite soils in Saint-Joseph. Vibrant... crunchy, full of ripe raspberries, a tinge of sour cherry, and soft spice. Look out for pink peppercorns and florals... violet maybe. Fermented with wild yeasts and macerated gently for eight days, it's then aged in concrete to preserve its purity.

- Granite Belt, QLD
- Dominique Gruhier + Tom Crusher | Crusher
Wine Description
A crushable ode to Meanjin. This light red is everything we want from Queensland’s growing natural wine industry - juicy, vibrant, and totally laidback. It’s Barbera and Sangiovese grown on Wakka Wakka Country in Moffatdale, picked by hand and barely touched. Bright raspberry and pomegranate, with a lick of tomato leaf ... umami! Sunshine on a cold day, this is a lo-fi MVP destined for your next shindig.

Wine Description
100% Montepulciano! Il Cacciatore di Sogni (The Hunter of Dreams) is juiiicccy... deep ruby red in hue with aromas of black cherry, plum, cedar, and leather. On the palate, it’s lush and silky with powdery tannins, layers of fruit and a mineral finish that really lingers. Aged in both large oak and steel, it offers the perfect balance of structure and softness. A delightful dinner-table companion!

- Ferguson Valley, WA
- Eloise Jarvis + Glenn Goodall | La Kooki
Wine Description
This vibrant Crianza-style Tempranillo (with a dash of Cabernet for backbone) is bursting with bright red fruits and a whisper of black cherry and cola spice. The fruit was handpicked from six short rows in the 52 Stones Vineyard - perched at 260m with a southerly aspect perfect for slow, steady ripening. Wild-fermented with hand plunging, then matured in seasoned French oak barriques topped with stones (‘Las Piedras’), the result is something delightfully supple... both fruity and savoury... with a bit of texture at the end too.
About the Winemaker
- Heavy Red
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- Coonawarra, SA
- Sue Bell | Bellwether Wines
Wine Description
A powerful, age-worthy expression of Coonawarra Cabernet. Hand-picked and basket-pressed, you can just tell it's been crafted with care and clarity of vision... Prepare for beautiful layers of dried sage, rosemary, blackcurrant, cedar and a whisper of mint. It's Wintry alright! Medium-bodied with depth, density and fine-grained tannins, it has structure and stamina!
