New Wave Aussies 5.0
- Mixed
- Various
New Wave and Mighty! This time it’s six South Aussie wines that range from smashable to esoteric. From a collection of tiny producers that make wines as a side-hustle, for the love of the grape and the joy that it brings. It’s a great little roadtrip from Eden, all the way to Kangaroo Island, showing off some seriously fun wines from all over the state. All the colours of the rainbow, all of the the fruits of the fruit salad. You will not be bored!
Each case contains ONE bottle of:
Red

- Tempranillo

- Adelaide Hills
- Tempranillo
- Adelaide Hills
Tempraniilo comes from the Rioja region of Spain where it grows in high altitude vineyards with a long growing season. In Australia, the Adelaide Hills region is able to (somewhat) replicate these conditions, and produce wines of dense red and blue fruit, along with the variety’s classic freshness. The palate on this wine is tightly woven with cherry, red currant and blackberries, with a touch of cinnamon too. It’s a medium plus body, with so much class.

The cooler nights up in Eden Valley allow freshness and herbal complexity to shine in this cab from Brothers at War, while sunny days give all the ripe fruit richness that make for a balanced wine. Blackberries and milk chocolate, coffee grounds and mint, finish with just a hint of violets. Surprisingly soft tannins make for easy drinking, while still offering enough structure to intrigue.

Made from tempranillo and gris, this rosé was absolutely smashed out of the park by The Stoke. It's from Kangaroo island, which is the region they champion across a range of very smart wines. Full of cherries, raspberries and floral notes, the wine is dry and delightfully textured, with a long finish. You'll be Stoked!

- Pinot Gris
- Clare Valley
Atlas Wines are one of the rising stars of the Clare Valley, a region that is dominated by big and established wineries. Their wines and packaging are what we'd call 'new wave,' bursting with personality, along with citrus, minerality and texture. This gris is as fresh as they come with nashi pear, grapefruit, lemongrass and pineapple on the palate. It's layered too, but instead of getting deeper it gets even more spritely, more exciting and aromatic. The finish is clean and refreshing, the colour has a tinge of pink.

This shiraz from Clone is less about oak and more about characterful fruit and spice. There are dark plums and chocolate, earthy and floral overtones and sweet spices. Silky, dense blueberries and crackles of black pepper. It’s a very stylish wine, and long as anything. Juicy enough to drink alone, it’s also plenty food-friendly. It’s from a single vineyard in Barossa’s sunlight-bathed Western Ridge. The result is delicious ripe flavour in the glass that positively sings of sunshine.

- Vermentino

- McLaren Vale
- Vermentino
- McLaren Vale
This is like a deliciously briney riesling, full of vim and vigour, zesty and herbaceous. The grape’s from Sardinia, where it tends to be savoury and pithy, but Vale versions like this seem to have more flesh than bone. It’s like you can taste the extra sunlight. Still fine and pithy, but more mouth-filling, with more floral elements too.
