RED WINES
2023 Head Heart & Home Shiraz Blend
Big-hearted Barossa red made the right way. Blackberry, cassis and a dusting of cocoa sit alongside dried herbs and a little aniseed, with velvety tannins holding it all together. It's rich and generous, but polished enough that it never feels heavy. The kind of red that makes a Sunday roast feel like an occasion.
Food pairing: Slow-cooked lamb shoulder, beef brisket, a proper steak or hard aged cheddar.
Drinking window: Enjoy now to 2033.
2024 Kir Yianni Paranga Red
A fresh, juicy red from northern Greece's high country. Merlot, Syrah and the local hero Xinomavro combine for red forest fruits, cherry and cracked pepper, plus a pretty lift of rose petals. Soft tannins and bright acidity make it dangerously easy to drink. Your new favourite Tuesday-night red, no passport required.
Food pairing: Lamb souvlaki, moussaka, pizza, pasta with tomato sauce or anything off the barbecue.
Drinking window: Enjoy now to 2028.
NV Little Reddie Bootleg Red
Light, bright and made for the fridge. This lo-fi Grenache and Mourvèdre from Victoria's Goulburn region is all strawberry, watermelon and a pinch of pepper, with a slight haze and loads of crunchy freshness. It's a smashable chilled red that doesn't take itself seriously for a second. Chuck it in the esky and head to the park.
Food pairing: Prawn cocktail, charcuterie, pizza, fish tacos or a big picnic spread.
Drinking window: Enjoy now to 2027 (and serve it chilled).
2022 Spinifex La Cigale
A Southern French-style blend with a Barossa accent. Mataro leads, with Cinsault and Grenache bringing red plum, cherry and raspberry, plus earthy spice and a hint of woodsmoke. It's warm and intricate but surprisingly light on its feet, with a snappy freshness that keeps you reaching for another sip. Think Provençal long lunch, relocated to South Australia.
Food pairing: Duck, lamb merguez, ratatouille, grilled mushrooms or a charcuterie board.
Drinking window: Enjoy now to 2030.
2025 Toolangi Vineyard Pinot Noir
Pure, pretty Yarra Valley Pinot with plenty of substance. Raspberry, boysenberry and red plum lead the way, with a stony, mineral edge and a gentle hint of nutmeg. Fine, grippy tannins give it structure, but the fruit is so vibrant it's hard not to drink right now. Serious pedigree for a very reasonable price.
Food pairing: Roast duck, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, pork belly or a soft washed-rind cheese.
Drinking window: Enjoy now to 2032.
2025 FERVOR Nonno Lou Sangiovese
A tribute to a Tuscan nonno, grown in the cool Great Southern. Sweet cherry and red berries are wrapped in savoury, fine-grained tannins, with the lovely elegance good Sangiovese is known for. Aged in an old Italian botte, it's all freshness and finesse with no heavy oak. Basically, it's begging for a bowl of pasta.
Food pairing: Ragù, wood-fired pizza, porchetta, eggplant parmigiana or a wedge of Parmigiano.
Drinking window: Enjoy now to 2031.
