Here's what we think you should be drinking while watching your favourite sport. 🏅🏅🏅
A fabulous white and red duo from the Biodynamic powerhouse of Ngeringa Estate. 🌿🌙
Ngeringa 'Summit' Pinot Noir 2022 - This is very Burgundian-esque. Vibrant red berries and orange rind jump out of the glass, with layers of sandalwood, oregano, thyme and cacao.
Ngeringa 'Summit' Single Vineyard Chardonnay 2022 - Truthfully, this is one of the best Australian Chardonnays under $100 I’ve tried in a very long time. Abundant aromas of fleshy, ripe yellow nectarine, toasted cashews, almond brioche and mandarin blossom pair perfectly with flinty accents.
The long-awaited Ganevat Estate Wines have arrived in store!
Jean-François Ganevat's wines are made with minimal intervention in the mountainous Jura wine region of eastern France. The domaine has been family-owned since 1650 and is currently run by Jean-François Ganevat, who previously trained and worked at Domaine Jean-Marc Morey in Chassagne-Montrachet.
In addition to the Estate wines pictured above, we have a small quantity of Anne & JF Ganevat negoce wines available.
These will not last long, so have a browse of the whole collection available through the link in bio.

Benjamin Taillandier makes organic wines in the Languedoc region in southern France, working with local varieties. He strives to make approachable wines that are lighter and fresh in style.
If you're after something juicy and slightly eccentric, Josh reckons you should give 'Ma Jolie' Syrah 2022 a go tonight. Or, for something with a good lick of spice (but still very approachable), try out 'Viti Vini Bibi' 2021

Grada is a naturally processed single-farm coffee, fortified with Australian grain spirit. It's that simple. For those after a perfect and effortless espresso martini every day of the week, shake some Grada over ice - nothing else required.

If you're after something juicy and fresh - pick up this Nord Sud Rouge immediately. I opened this bottle up on Saturday night with friends and it rapidly disappeared.
Made from organically grown grapes in the Adelaide Hills, this is all red fruits and a whole lotta juicyness. Bit of a quaffer!
BYO this hump day and crack this open.
We are launching our newest $14 range this Saturday 2-4pm!

Terrason is winemaker Marc Lunt and partner Leanne’s Victorian based winemaking project. Marc has earned his stripes by working at some exceptional producers such as Chateau Angelus, Domaine Armand Rousseau and Domaine de la Romanee Conti.
The pair bring together fruit from the King and Yarra Valleys to make incredible wines of finesse and quality as well as being at a banging price point.
We currently have:
Terrason Gamay 2022 - Light on its feet but with enough substance to please most! Bright cherries and juicy red fruits.
Terrason Cabernet Franc 2021 - One of my favourites! Slightly green on the nose, which is enchanting, the wine is made more like Burgundy that Chinon.
Terrason Aligote 2023 - Herbal, nutty, citrus and a little creamy with a beautiful saline element.
Saturday Tasting: Kitajima Sea Salt Yuzushu 🍋
Fast becoming a favourite amongst the Vera community, pop in to sample our new Yuzushu from Kitajima. Spoiler: it’s delicious!

'Orenji' is the perfect gateway to orange wine! This skin contact Sem/Sauv is a friendly style. A bit of pepper tingling on the tongue with blood orange, grapefruits and spice.
'Yokel' Chenin Blanc was aged in a host of different vessels from large oak and amphora. Well rounded Chenin from the Swan Valley!

The new release of one of our favourite producers ever has hit the shelves at Vera 🩷 Located in the foothills of Mount Macedon in Central Victoria, the site is historically known as Warekilla, which in local Wurunjeri language means Place of Changing Winds. We have been so lucky to have received some ethereal Pinot and Pinot/Syrah and elegant Chardonnay. It is also the first year POCW have released a blend of three white grape varieties in the cellar (Marsanne/Rousanne/Chardonnay). We are blown away with the result. Numbers are so limited, so DM or pop in store to ask our staff about securing a bottle! Read more about POCW and what we have on offer through the Link in Bio

Something really special came today... "Arianna Occhipinti is one of those people who makes a wine that changes your entire life. At 18 years old, I discovered the Occhipinti SP68 Rosso and it blew my eyes wide open. I remember my dad telling me, off the cuff, "yeah, she's like the superstar of the South". Even though it was probably her first vintage ever released, people kept telling me, this is the next Chiara Boschis or Elisabetta Foradori. She's going to be huge." - Florence Follow the Link in Bio to see what we have in the shop!
