More like a “Pinot Noir with cojones” was the brief here. It has great weightlessness on the palate, loaded up with exotic spices, ripe red berries, and a pretty purity of fruits. Mostly, it feels designed to be super drinkable, in the way that McLaren Vale Grenache can be.

Italian Plastic - Golden Skin Contact White Blend 2025
An orange wine that hits the sweet (er, savoury) spot between exotic wonder and dusty moreishness. With up-front aromatics and florals, it starts out all skinsy and tropical with notes of tangerine and stonefruits. Refreshingly dry on the end for an easy-drinking finish. Textural and interesting, fun and chewy. Take a bite, come back for seconds.
$25.00
Alpha Box & Dice - Tarot Grenache 2025
Alpha Box & Dice's signature McLaren Vale Grenache continuing to please the crowds here. Grenache in the Nouveaux style, keeping the acidity lively and the tannin structure in good stead. Not to mention Winemaker Sam Berketa is no stranger to a fresh expression. We like to think that the theme of rebirth, rejuvenation and new beginnings had something to do with it. A very easy tipple.
$24.00
Edenflo - Blue Lines Semillon Blend 2022
Fragrant fruit from three aromatic white grapes and three celebrated SA regions. Six months on lees cranks the volume on layers of citrus peel, jasmine and blossom, with lip-smacking citrus freshness, herbs and a sprinkle of salt shaping a gorgeous quencher to please mature and rookie palates alike.
$30.00
Château Lulu - Skinsy Semillon Blend 2025
Combining Semillon and friends, this wine is named for a delightfully wicked feline friend named Lulu, a regular at Darlinghurst’s Darlo Bar. Made fabulously fresh, this is a playfully easy-going skinsy wine designed for knocking back with mates — wherever you decide your ‘bar’ is today. Yours or mine?
$26.00
Paloma - Clare Valley Riesling 2025
Paloma is classic Clare Valley Riesling. All the hallmarks and creature comforts here. Bright, dry and crisp. The fruit is doing all the talking. Vivid acidity keeping it lifted while oozing lemon and lime in the glass. It's easy-going, let the good-times roll, value drinking.
$25.00
Alpha Box & Dice - X Rosso 2025
This newest X range release cranks with rhubarb, cherry ripe, chai spice, and a hearty kick of acid. To call it a pizza wine would be a cop out - but my, what a combo. Whether it’s pizza box plates or truffle tagliolini, it’s certainly deserving of your next Alfresco Italian dinner party.
$32.00
Club Spritz - Citrus & Botanicals Prosecco Spritz
This is not a club sandwich, but it’s got layers. Bitter herbs, perfumed Bergamot, and a crisp splash of Prosecco—stacked up like your taste buds ordered the deluxe. "I like my spritzes with a slice of citrus and lemon verbena" "So do I!" Well, let's form a club then. You’ve had a club sandwich, now try a Club Spritz. No crusts, all flavour.
$28.00
Italian Plastic - Sunny Chenin Blanc 2025
There’s sunshine in these bottles. It has all the zesty acidity and juicy pear freshness that a Chenin Blanc promises. Crisp Granny Smith apples and an air of summer grass and sea spray. A lot of texture, a little ray of sunshine. Endlessly refreshing for a fleetingly delectable time.
$25.00
Palmetto - Rosé 2024
Truly transporting rosé; fit for fairyland, or at least one heck of a garden party. Mouthwateringly crisp, crunching with bright acidity. There's a spritz of red apple, white strawberry and blooming blossom on the nose, and an indulgently creamy mouthfeel to finish. Quality Grenache fruit, pressed off skins direct to stainless. A few months on lees, and there's not much else to it; just patience and a little bit of magic.
$25.00
Yangarra - Preservative Free Grenache 2022
Yangarra is all but synonymous with immaculate Grenache, and here they prove themselves unreliant on additives to craft a seriously classy drop. Medium bodied but plenty generous, best enjoyed in its relative wild youth. On the nose, tart pomegranate, blueberries and clove dominate, while the palate unearths chalky tannin and some roughed up texture. A belter with beef, decanting will unlock further florals on the nose. Vegan friendly, but for the above-mentioned beef.
$32.00
Pomona - Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Pamona Sauv B comes from an anonymous hand we’re happy to keep secret. Herbal lift of lemon myrtle and Meyer lemon zest, then a burst of tropicals—passionfruit and grapefruit pith. Juicy yet precise, it snaps shut on a clean, dry finish. Mystery solved: it’s dangerously drinkable.
$25.00
Italian Plastic - Super Glou Red Blend 2025
Here’s a cruisey little red-fruited ripper, ready for your next get together. A cohesive collision of Malbec, Montepulciano, Sangiovese and a subtle splash of Merlot. This relaxed blend is aged in older oak and stainless steel lacing it with cherries, raspberries, and moreish acidity. So versatile, so glou-gable.
$25.00
Cloud Cuckoo Land - Bianco Greco Blend 2023
"An imaginary state of absurd over-optimism"—that's Cloud Cuckoo Land, and once upon a time, you'd have had to live there full-time to think Riverland-grown Mediterranean varieties could yield as refined and textural a drop as this. Low intervention, high quality, and as irresistible a blend of Greco and Zibibbo as you can envision. Almond blossom, quince and ripe pears, cut through with citrus pith to balance. A joy to drink, optimism optional.
$28.00
Alpha Box & Dice X Bodriggy - Bonza Bianco White Blend 2025
Bodriggy, the brewsters of Abbotsford, Victoria and fans of the friendly froff, join forces with South Australia's own Alpha Box & Dice to bring you the Bonza white of the summer. Simply a belter of a blonde blend, refreshing...
$26.00
Golden Child - Island Life Sauvignon 2022
Kuitpo Sauvignon Blanc treated to a real Chardy-style pamper. Whole bunch press into French oak for wild ferment, it then sits on lees for five months. Lightly filtered, it falls right into that real middle of the bodily row, fresh grapefruit and lemon with some hints of stone fruit makes it an easy YES. Pair with pretty much anything grown or caught off the shores of our island home.
$28.00
Mazi - Tóra Dry Red Blend MV
Mazi might be calling this their Rosé’s ‘second act’, but we think this feels more like the origin story. From the Mataro and Grenache that fuel their much-loved dry Rosé, Mazi have taken the gutsiest juice of each to craft a light and pretty dry red. Fine and aromatic, cranberry and red cherry, asian spice and violets set the tone for a real beauty.
$32.00
