- Shiraz
- McLaren Vale, SA
- Lauren Langfield | Orbis Wines
Wine Description
If you're looking for a fun and fizzy sparkling wine, you'll love the 2023 Orbis Pétillant Naturel. This wine is made from Shiraz grapes grown on a single vineyard ~ naturally fermented and bottled during vintage, giving it a lively and refreshing character. The wine is undisgorged (the excess yeast is not removed) and unfiltered, preserving its natural flavour and slight sediment. The result is a wine that is bright, fruity, and long, with notes of pithy orange, early season raspberries, and freshly picked strawberries.

- Orange
- Pinot Gris
- Mornington Peninsula, VIC
- Kate McIntyre | Moorooduc Estate
Wine Description
This is not your typical pinot gris. This wine that embraces the red side of the grape, fermenting on skins for 10 days to extract colour, flavour and texture. The result is a stunning coral-hued wine that bursts with aromas of pink rose, white pepper, sour cherry, plum and rhubarb. On the palate, it's juicy, savoury and spicy, with a refreshing acidity and a silky mouthfeel.

- Sarah + Nick James-Martin | Wines of Merritt

Organically grown in Metricup, pressed straight into old barriques for a funky wild ferment on full solids. Racked onto fine lees for 9 month elevage, stirred occasionally for shape & texture rather than building weight. Bottled early summer without fining or filtering

- Heavy White
- Chardonnay
- Yarra Valley, VIC
- Natillie Johnston | Tillie J Wines
Wine Description
This one walks the line beautifully... bright, clean, and snappy, but still perfectly plush. It smells like preserved lemon and summer stone fruit, with a touch of ginger and freshly cut hay. On the palate, it’s got that fine-boned acidity we love in cool-climate Chardy, plus a bit of salinity and just enough creamy oak to round it all out. No secondary fermentation here, so it keeps its zip – but the nine months on lees brings real shape and structure.

- Rosé
- Syrah and Grenache
- Margaret River, WA
- Freya Hohnen + Ryan Walsh | Walsh + Sons
Wine Description
This delicate rosé is made from Syrah and Grenache grapes, which give it fragrant aromas of strawberry, rose, and Turkish Delight. It has a refreshing taste of juicy watermelon and a smooth lemony creaminess, thanks to the partial barrel fermentation and ageing of the Grenache part. The finish is crisp and salty, with a mineral touch. A sophisticated, complex and oh so more-ish rosé.
