Two new wines from that are as pure and well made as you could possibly hope for.

The evolution of Monique Millton and Tim Webber's Forest Range domaine is on full display with these, the 2022 Forest White and 2023 Farm Rosato.

These are chiselled, instant classics and a very happy chapter of sensitive Australian agriculture.

A very loud cheers to you

LIMUS NEW RELEASE LUNCH 16/2/25

Hi folks,

The team at Public is delighted to announce that on Sunday the 16/2 we'll be joined by Kyatt Dixon of in Mt Gambier for the release of 5 of he and partner Anna's new wines.

We've loved these wines since tasting Kyatt's first barrel of Adelaide Hills sauvignon blanc several years ago and today Limus is at the forefront of organic, artisanal wine growing in the particularly exciting region of Mt Gambier.

The wines are farmed on a mix of limestone and volcanic soils, are picked with depth and flavour in mind and all carry the thumbprint of winemakers with an innate feel and understanding of fermentation.

Kyatt will be on the floor at Public from 1-4pm on Sunday the 16/2 to discuss and pour the new wines, which will include 5 new releases plus the now sold out (and outrageously high quality) 2023 Sparkling Rose, all by the glass.

The 5 new wines are largely from the pristine and fine 2023 harvest and include the new Talbot Rosé, Tidal Red, Twilight white blend, a new cuvee called Cherry Red and even a new Coonawarra chardonnay (we can't wait).

Bookings for lunch can be made via the website - this'll be a ripper!

Thanks so much

Three really exceptional new wines from James and Sophie at .

All from 2023, these are a suite of wonderfully vinified bottlings from three separate sites in McLaren Vale.

'Somewhere on Another Hill' is nicely textural and crystalline sauvignon - varietal and delicious.

'Lulu', 100% chenin blanc, has seen just enough oxygen to allow site and sinew to show, yet still with great mid palate volume.

And then 'Ralph's' is arguably our favourite ever red wine from James and Sophie. This is unirrigated grenache and the final wine is distinguished by its finesse and delicacy of structure and its sheer, striking purity.

We're very excited about these!
Many thanks

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 .
