Four really wonderful new wines from Anna and Kyatt at .

These are mix of home vineyard fruit in Mt Gambier and also biodynamic fruit from Cape Jaffa and are all thrilling in precision and expressiveness.

There's a couple of new styles for the domaine here - a phenolic semillon and a very, very high quality direct press and crystalline pinot gris.

Kyatt delivered these earlier today and straight in to the fridge they went!

Thanks as always

We're really excited about this.

We tasted a tank sample of the 2024 Moon Marsanne back in August and are thrilled to let you know it's now in stock and will also be by the glass in the coming days.

From the highly regarded and certified Biodynamic Moon Vineyard on the banks of the Goulbourn River in Nagambie, this is simply an excellent Victorian white wine.

Full of rich phenolic matter and restrained, varietal fruit character, we're really very happy to offer a wine from from a Victorian vineyard farmed with so much intent that's been fully certified Biodynamic since 2012.

This is going to be a great, great delight over spring and summer and will also be a seriously good proposition for the cellar if you fancy popping a few bottles down.

A huge thanks to the lovely team at .
