- Traditional Sparkling
- Chardonnay
- Margaret River, WA
- Josephine Perry | Dormilona
Wine Description
We love an effortless Pet Nat, this one is all about purity and fun. She leads with bright lemon zest, grapefruit, and green apple - a zing, a zap. On the palate, it’s dry and textural, with a fine chalky grip and a soft creamy layer that makes it extra plush. The fizz is light and gentle, we’re talking a more creamy bubble than what you might traditionally expect, which makes it a super sippable, sessionable kind of pet nat. Made from hand-harvested Chardonnay grown biodynamically in Burnside, this one was whole bunch pressed straight into seasoned French oak, wild fermented with full malo and battonage, then bottled with a splash of fresh juice.
About the Winemaker
- Non-Traditional Sparkling
- Muscat, Bouysselet and Maccabeu
- Fronton, FR
- Diane + Philippe Cauvin | Domaine La Colombière
Wine Description
A picnic Pet Nat is the best way to describe this one. Fresh and fizzy and made from a blend of Muscat, Maccabeu and Bouysselet. Incredibly floral, yet balanced, with zingy citrus blossom, elderflower, underripe apricot and honeysuckle on the nose. The palate opens with a crisp snap of lemon zest and stone fruit. The mousse is super soft and frothy, more sherbet than Champagne.
About the Winemaker
- Light White
- Weissburgunder
- Rheinhessen, GER
- Dr Simone Adams | Adams Wein
Wine Description
If you’ve ever wondered why Pinot Blanc holds court alongside Chardonnay and Aligoté in Burgundy and Champagne, this wine is the answer. Dr. Simone Adams’ 2022 Weissburgunder is bright and focused, exuding citrus blossom, lemon peel, and white cherry up front, with layers of yellow peach, pear compote and melon rolling down the back. It’s got this creamy texture that feels lush for a moment - then boom, the acidity kicks in and everything tightens up a bit. Salty, structured, and full of mineral detail. There’s heaps going on flavour-wise: green walnuts, fresh herbs like tarragon and chervil, flint and smoke too. This one comes from two plots: one clay-heavy and east-facing, one west-facing with more limestone, giving the wine both its depth and that salty snap of minerality. Aged for a year on lees (steel and oak), it’s got good grip as well. If you’re partial to a bit of Chardonnay, this one’s going to hit the mark.

- Pecorino
- Heathcote, VIC
- Caroline Mooney | Zonzo Estate
Wine Description
This one’s a bit of a rare gem - Pecorino isn’t something you see every day in Australia, but we’re so glad winemaker Caroline Mooney decided to run with it. It’s got a wild charm to it: zesty and bright with lemon and green pear, rounded out by ginger spice, buttery pastry, and a hint of almond and orange peel. As it opens, you might catch soft rose and a savoury, almost nutty texture that lingers. It’s super layered - fresh and clean, but with a silky, generous mouthfeel that gives it a real presence. While Zonzo is rooted in the Yarra Valley, this Pecorino comes from Heathcote - an area more known for big reds than vibrant Italian whites, which makes this wine all the more exciting. It’s picked early to lock in brightness and freshness, then treated gently in both tank and a touch of oak.

- Chardonnay
- Kangaroo Island, SA
- Sue Bell | Bellwether Wines
Wine Description
A Chardonnay with big coastal vibes. Kangaroo Island fruit handpicked from Bay of Shoals vineyard, it’s tight and lemony, with a chalky line of acidity, hints of struck match and oyster shell, and a wonderful creamy lees texture to round it out. Wild, untamed, it captures the island’s windswept, raw nature.
Made as part of ‘The Guroo Project’, where celebrated winemakers from the ‘mainland’ are invited to explore and interpret the unique terroir of Kangaroo Island. Few could be more fitting than Sue Bell of Bellwether Wines.

- Grillo
- McLaren Vale, SA
- Dr Irina Santiago-Brown + Dudley Brown | Inkwell
Wine Description
The 2024 Inkwell ‘Yellow’ Grillo is a zesty, textural white made from organically grown Grillo grapes in McLaren Vale. Originally from Sicily and traditionally used in Marsala, Grillo is dry, aromatic and intensely fresh - like a grown-up version of Pinot Grigio. The 2024 vintage is just the second estate release of this wine from Inkwell, and it's even better than the first. Farmed on their south-facing vineyard and grown specifically to suit the warming, drying climate, it sees a little skin contact in concrete egg-shaped fermenters for added texture, and like all of Inkwell’s wines, it’s made without fining or filtration. The result is a bright, coastal white that’s salty and a little wild, with loads of tempered lemon, green apple, white peach, saline, and chalk. Raw, vibrant expression that offers real refreshment with a slightly esoteric edge.

Wine Description
Chilled red? We recommend this one: Bright and sultry, Marge is a skin-contact blend of organically grown Gamay and Pinot Noir from Orange, NSW. Made with minimal intervention and plenty of care, she’s a cloudy magenta colour bursting with dark cherry, plums and cheeky raspberry on the nose. These juicy red fruits carry through on the palate too giving a plush and velvety texture. Carbonic maceration and whole bunch wild fermentation add lift and freshness, while four months of lees work rounds everything out, leaving you with a lovely mouthfeel.

- Pinot Noir
- Mornington Peninsula, VIC
- Kate McIntyre | Moorooduc Estate
Wine Description
Hold up, this is superior Pinot Noir. Bright red cherry and pomegranate, backed by interwoven layers of spice (cardamom, clove, star anise) and that classic Mornington Peninsula earthiness (rose petals, undergrowth, the forest floor after rain). The palate is medium-bodied with a fine acid line that gives it a bit of length. Fermented with a portion of whole bunches and aged in French oak (mostly older), it’s structured whilst remaining supple and restrained. Match it with something hearty this Winter - lamb tagine perhaps? Taste the whole line-up on Thursday 26th June, as we welcome winemaker and Master of Wine, Kat McIntyre to Famelia for the evening!
About the Winemaker

- Cabernet Sauvignon

- Rebecca Milne + Aaron Onegin-Ward | Grape Pirates
Wine Description
A cool-climate Cabernet looking its best, truly. Look out for Jalapeno, fennel, bergamot and cacao on the nose, with boysenberry and fresh acidity on the palate. It was fermented in open tanks, hand-plunged, and matured in old French oak for 16 months before a natural settle in tank. Silky and savoury with a lovely bit of grip, perfect for your next dinner party. We’re giving it a little chill this month, you could too…?

- Nerina Cardile | Nerina Cardile
Wine Description
Terremoto Rosso is deliciously wild red from the northern slopes of Etna - 90% Nerello Mascalese, with a little Nerello Cappuccio and Grenache in the mix too. There’s blueberry, black cherry, spice and that unmistakable mineral crunch, a trademark of volcanic soils. Fermented with a portion of whole bunches, which makes it super fresh and textured, smoothed out by some time on lees in steel. It’s Etna all over, just beautiful. I met Nerina on my visit in October and we bonded over her wine, passion, and psychology. I’m thrilled to see her wine in Aus and to have got my hands on some of this very special Etna Rosso! Only small quantities available, can’t wait for you to try it…

- Orange, NSW
- Samantha May | Samantha May Wines
Wine Description
Harvested from the Carrington Vineyard in Orange, this frisky Syrah grows at 850m elevation. That’s cool-climate territory that boasts some lovely lifted aromatics and a lively structure. Sam included 25% whole bunch in the ferment to dial up the spice and stemmy energy, and it shows: there’s white pepper, dark cherry, and brooding brambly fruit from start to finish. Fermented with native yeasts, basket pressed, and matured in French oak before resting in stainless, the final wine is fine-boned and juicy, with a lick of cranberry acidity and some savoury dried herbs and olive for balance. 2024 was Samantha’s first time working with Carrington Vineyard fruit, and it’s a knockout.
