- Traditional Sparkling
- Sparkling Wine
- Pipers Brook, TAS
- Natalie Fryer | Bellebonne
Wine Description
Delicate white flowers blend effortlessly with lemon curd, toasty shortbread and white nectarine. The palate is elegance defined, with a long finish of fresh cream and preserved lemon. ‘Bis’ is French for ‘the space in-between’, which encapsulates the process and inspiration it took to make this exquisite non-vintage blanc.
In the cellar, Bellebonne follows traditional méthode champenoise practices—hand-picking, whole-bunch pressing, extended lees ageing and minimal dosage—crafted with precision and restraint. The wines show remarkable poise and detail: crystalline acidity, fine bead and savoury depth balanced by elegance and length.
About the Winemaker
- Non-Traditional Sparkling, Rosé
- Dornfelder, Riesling and Siegerrebe
- Rheinhessen, GER
- Alanna Lagamba | Vin de LaGamba
Wine Description
Dornfelder was widely planted in the 1980s when Bordeaux was hyped. “The colour is pitch black, but it’s ironic because it’s not a big wine,” explains Alanna. With its alcohol maxing out at nine, maybe ten, per cent, it’s never going to be mistaken as a Bordeaux. Although not her first choice, Alanna had a thought. “Being half Italian, I grew up drinking Lambrusco. So I had the idea to do it German-style.”
Frauen Power’s colour might be dark and stormy, but it smells like bing cherries, the ones that pair so well with boozy chocolate. It’s not sweet, however. It’s dry like blackcurrants that aren’t quite ready to leave their vine. Frauen Power is also a reminder that sparkling wines can do a lot more than toast to special occasions. They dress down just as well as they dress up, accompanying pizza, buttery crackers, or just a balmy afternoon.

- Gewürztraminer
- King Valley, VIC
- Bridget Mac | Werkstatt
Wine Description
Meet Werkstatt’s first-ever Gewürztraminer from Whitfield, and what a debut it is. This wine is aromatic and joyful, bursting with candied orange, alpine flowers, lychee, rose petal, and a whisper of ginger. Just delicious! The palate is lush and mouth-filling, carrying stone fruit, pink grapefruit, and a touch of juicy apple, all wrapped up in bright, precise acidity. It’s off-dry but balanced and textured with a playful spiciness. Hand-picked, slow-fermented, bloody gorgeous!

- Medium White
- Chenin Blanc
- Gundagai, NSW
- Chrissie Smith | Intrepidus
Wine Description
We all know how much I love Chenin! This one's bright, textured, and zippy, showing off beautiful citrus peel, along with a distinct saline edge and lively acidity that keeps things fresh and vibrant. Barrel fermentation and three months on lees add subtle creaminess and depth, giving the bright fruit an extra layer of complexity.

- Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc
- Ningxia, CHI
- Emma Gao | Silver Heights
Wine Description
Bright, lively, and effortlessly drinkable, the 2022 Silver Heights The Last Warrior is a blend of near-equal parts Chardonnay, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc from Ningxia, China. Tropical fruits dominate... pineapple, peach, apricot, lychee, and pear, but that first whiff also carries the vegetal lift of Sauvignon Blanc, hinting at the wine’s freshness.
Hand-picked, gently pressed, and slow-fermented in stainless steel with a splash of Burgundy oak, it skips malolactic fermentation to keep things crisp and energetic. Like most Silver Heights wines, it’s restrained and balanced, rewarding time in the glass: over 90 minutes, the aromas evolve beautifully. Named The Last Warrior in honor of the courage and tenacity of the Ningxia people, the wine’s label features a terracotta warrior... a visual story that matches the wine’s poise and elegance
About the Winemaker
- Welschriesling, Grüner Veltliner and Chardonnay
- Gols, Burgenland, AUT
- Susanne + Stefanie Renner | Rennersistas
Wine Description
Wine from outta this world! The 2023 Rennersistas Intergalactic is a zesty, playful orange wine from Burgenland, Austria, made with Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Muscat Ottonell, and Pinot Blanc. Some grapes were macerated for just 12 hours, others up to 8 days, giving it bright tang, a touch of skin, and a beautifully lively texture. Aromas and flavours dance between tropical fruit, pear, pineapple, yellow apple, and hay. Nice nutmeg spice and soft herbs lingering in the back. Easy drinking yet layered, it’s the kind of wine that keeps showing new sides in the glass. Love love love!

- Samantha Suddons | Vine Venom
Wine Description
'Skin' aka No.3 Chenin Blanc (my fav!) is an orange wine with a personality as bold as its colour. 100% Chenin, left on skins for 27 days, it’s a wild mix of Seville orange marmalade, baked peach, honey, and a hint of flor, all wrapped up in gentle tannins and a savoury, lingering finish. Fermented with native yeasts and aged 18 months in old oak, it’s textured, soulful, and endlessly intriguing... Perfect for anyone who loves a little adventure in their glass.

- Broke Fordwich, Hunter Valley NSW
- Valentina Moresco | Krinklewood
Wine Description
Pure picnic magic... Sunshine in a glass... whatever you want to call it, this 2024 Krinklewood Francesca Rosé is a delicately pink, impossibly dry beauty made from Mourvèdre and Merlot. Handpicked early and gently pressed with minimal skin contact, each parcel was fermented separately before blending to let the grapes show off their best qualities.
The result is a sensationally perfumed rosé bursting with soft petals (you guessed, rose!), ripe strawberries, and fragrant citrus blossoms, combining a bright, textural palate that’s impossibly drinkable. Whether you’re sprawled on a blanket, enjoying a breezy lunch, or just dreaming of Provence from your backyard, this is a great bottle to have close at hand. The 2024 vintage brought tricky weather (hello, El Niño), but the careful hand of the Krinklewood team and their organic, biodynamic approach means the fruit shines, delivering freshness, vibrancy, and joy in every sip.

Made from Frappato, Sicily’s native red grape, this rosato shows off everything the variety does best... light, armotic, and full of energy. Perfect for lazy afternoons, alfresco lunches, or any moment that calls for a little sunshine.

- Marine Bonnet + Pierre Cotton | Bonnet Cotton
Wine Description
From the rolling pink granite slopes of Fleurie comes this dreamy Gamay from Marine Bonnet and Pierre Cotton, totally bright and floral. Juicy strawberries, crushed violets, and rose petals gliding over that signature Fleurie finesse. The fruit comes from 50-year-old vines in the Poncié vineyard, hand-harvested and fermented with native yeasts in whole bunches, then aged in old foudres that once held beer (seriously). Certified organic and made without fining, filtering, or added sulphur, it’s pure, high-toned Beaujolais magic.

Wine Description
The 2021 La del Terreno Ninja de las Uvas is as fun to drink as it sounds, a bright, high-altitude Grenache from the hills of Bullas that’s all freshness and flair. Organically grown bush vines sit at around 750 metres above sea level, soaking up the Spanish sun by day and cooling right down by night. In the glass, it’s light and vibrant... red cherry, rosehip tea and wild strawberry, dusted with earthy spice, There’s texture too, a gentle grip and fine acidity that makes for a dry, savoury finish.

- Cabernet Franc
- Coonawarra, SA
- Jess DiGiorgio | Bande Apart
Wine Description
Coonawarra might be best known for its bold Cabernets, but this Cab Franc shows a softer, brighter side of the region. The cool climate and famous terra rossa soils give this one a distinct herbal edge... think eucalyptus, black pepper and roasted capsicum, while still delivering plenty of juicy red fruit. Leaning into freshness over heft and light on its feet, the palate is alive with cranberry and hibiscus, all wrapped up in fine, stalky tannins.
