  1. Maidenii Sweet Vermouth 750ml
    Maidenii Sweet Vermouth 750ml

    When Maidenii was conceived over a year ago, there was no Australian Vermouth on the market. Shaun and Gilles wanted to fill this niche to showcase Australia's unique native botanicals. Their Vermouth uses fresh wine to make a vibrant product distinct from others.

    The Sweet Vermouth is made by stoping the fermentation of cabernet grapes. Grapefruit, mace and angelica root all feature. Inspired by the classic Negroni, the Sweet is an ideal element for a white spirit cocktail, or perfect pairing for both soda and cider.

    Wonderful packaging aside, this is seriously brilliant to drink or mix. All Australian, very complex with herb, zest, spice and exotic botanicals aromas and flavours. It's got some great brine-meets-chalk texture too, kissed with a touch of glycerol sweetness. A must have. MIKE BENNIE

  3. Animus Distillery Classic dry Gin
    Animus Distillery Classic dry Gin

    Originally designed as a homage to the best London Dry gins, Animus's Classic Dry took on a life of it's own when lemon myrtle and mountain pepper berry were added to the rich, juniper led base. These Australian natives add a subtle, citrus and piquant edge, while dialing up the aromatic complexity. You don't have to look hard to find the freshness provided by the ingredients harvested from the distillery's gin garden. These botanicals also add intensity and depth. We love the classic juniper, sappy freshness offset by the smooth texture and complexed by the deeper, spice driven undertones. Classic yet with a twist.

  4. Balcombe Coastal Gin + Tonic Pack
    Balcombe Coastal Gin + Tonic Pack

    Balcombe is the brain-child of Barney Flanders and Cam Marshal. A coastal inspired Gin from there home in the Mornington Peninsula. Barney is the man behind Garagiste Vitners and together with Cam have created one of Australia's best and most unique gin's.

    Balcombe is composed from 20 different botanicals and contains unique ingredients like foraged Samphire, Saltbush, Kelp, Wild Fennel, and Wild Fennel Pollen from the Mornington Peninsula to give a true coastal flavour.

    We have also included Java Long Pepper, Blood Orange, Lemon Verbena, two types of Coriander and Ginger for complexity with plenty of Juniper to balance all of those big coastal flavours.

    Grain Spirit base. Great neat, with tonic or in cocktails. Grain Spirit base. Great neat, with tonic or in cocktails.

    We prefer to serve Balcombe with a drier tonic as the iodine and saline character tends to enhance the tonic's sweetness so a pair-up with Strangelove's Light Tonic is a match made in heaven.

  5. Dockyard G+T Pack
    Dockyard G+T Pack

    A pack containing the brilliant Dockyard Copper Rivet Gin and a 4 pack of Strangelove No. 8 Tonic. Summer is covered!

    The distillery is a relatively new operation headed by Bob Russell and sons, Matthew and Stephen. It is unique in several senses but first off it is housed in a Victorian-era pumphouse in the now derelict Chatham Dockyard south of London. The dockyard was at one time of huge importance to the Empire building ships for the Royal Navy from Napoleonic times through to the Falklands. The pumphouse # 5 was used to pump out water for the dry docks. Russell saw an opportunity to revitalise a magnificent piece of English architecture, give some locals a job and indulge his passion for making bespoke spirits. To do this he decided to take the road less travelled in distilling and instead of buying in bulk spirit to make his Gin

    Italian Juniper berries, locally sourced elderflower, Bulgarian Coriander seeds, Spanish orange peel, Italian lemon peel, Guatemala green cardamom, grains of paradise from Africa, European Angelica root and Orris root, our own neutral grain spirit and Kentish chalk filtered water.

  6. Animus Distillery Arboretum Gin 500ml
    Animus Distillery Arboretum Gin 500ml

    This takes savoury to a new level. A complex herbaceous gin that does exactly what it says on the bottle, hitting the drinker with a wonderful array of sappy, resinous and spicy notes that derive from a range of distillery-grown, Australian ingredients as well as some classic gin botanicals. Fresh strawberry gum leaf is used for it's delicate floral and menthol hints. There's native bush tomato with its distinctive tamarillo notes. Rosemary and bay leaf build on the herbaceous depth, while orange, both zest and flesh, are included to round out the palate. Underneath it all, notes of bold juniper, coriander seed, and citrus remind you you're drinking a gin after all, and an incredibly bold and precise one at that. There's enough silky texture and flavor going on there for you to sip this on its own; alternatively it's going to serve as a brilliant canvas for those clever bartenders. Could not be anything but Australian, but an absolutely world class gin nonetheless.

    Botanicals: Juniper Berry, Capsicum, Cardamom, Angelica Root, Bay Leaf, Bush Tomato, Cloves, Coriander seed, Sarsaparilla Root, Lemon Thyme, Mountain Pepper Berry, Star Anise, Lemon, Orange, Strawberry Gum Leaf, Rosemary, Turmeric. bibendum.com.au

  7. Amen Break Cabernet Franc 2021
    Amen Break Cabernet Franc 2021
    We've featured the wines of under the Amen Break label a lot here and there is a reason why - they rock. Hailing from a small village in east of Australia called New Zealand the Clonal Brothers are Matt and Steve Harrop and together they are a lethal winemaking combination. One of the most sampled drum patterns music nerds will recognise this as a 6- to 7-second (4-bar) drum solo performed by Gregory Sylvester "G. C.". Coleman in the song "Amen, Brother" performed by the 1960s funk and soul outfit The Winstons.

    There's certainly a bustle in the hedgerow here, with blackberry, black raspberry, leaf, dried roses and pencils. Medium-bodied, cool acidity, a distinctly 'mineral' feel, intense small berried dark fruit, graphite tannin, a little sundried tomato and raspberry pip, and a spicy and gently bitter amaro/sappy finish of excellent length. Tight and crunchy, and very good to drink. I like it a lot. (93+) GARY WALSH, winefront.com

  9. Ravensworth Outlandish Claims Vermouth Rose
    Ravensworth Outlandish Claims Vermouth Rose
    It’s Vermouth, but not as we know it. Thanks Bryan Martin, you’ve amazed us with your creativity yet again. This is a place where vermouth-nerds and sherry-nuts can unite. The base is 100% Nebbiolo, which started life as rosé and was aged under flor (like sherries from Jerez). This oxidated wine style provided the base for a tincture of blood orange, cinchona, wormwood, coriander, juniper and pepperberry leaf (enter vermouth).

  10. Chazalettes & Co. Vermouth de Torino Extra Dry
    Chazalettes & Co. Vermouth de Torino Extra Dry
    This authentic Extra Dry Vermouth di Torino is produced according to the original recipe of the Chazalettes family, who in 1860 moved from Savoy to Turin and started the production of its Vermouths and spirits in 1876. It is based heavily on the original 1876 recipe and the modern reincarnation is made under the eye of Giovanni Chazelettes, the grandson of Chazalettes’ founder. Francesca Bava (who is spearheading the brand’s revival) says the Vermouth Extra Dry was central to the family’s decision to restart production, as the recipe is “completely different to all other Vermouths on the market”.

  11. Allevare Novello Cabernet Franc 2022
    Allevare Novello Cabernet Franc 2022

    A Novello style red, perfect chilled or at room temperature. Wild fermented in stainless steel tank, the fruit was left on skins for 2 weeks with light pump overs morning and evenings. It was then pressed to tank and left on lees for 6 months before bottling on Gunaikurnai Land.

    Grown in the Shelmerdine Vineyard, red and brown sandy clay loams of south-eastern Australia, plus yellow-brown clay loams and gritty, gravelly quartzose sands laid down by the Goulburn River. An historic wine growing region, heat is mitigated by the amundant lakes and billabongs associated with the Goulburn Valley region. ALLEVARE

  12. Eminence 'Cute Brut' Zero Dosage Rose NV
    Eminence 'Cute Brut' Zero Dosage Rose NV
    The fruit for this was handpicked and gently whole bunch pressed, before being transferred to old French oak for fermentation. No yeast, enzyme or nutrient was added and the ferment was kept at around 15 degrees to preserve aromatics. After primary ferment, the barrels had a small sulphur addition before resting over winter on the yeast lees. 11 months later, we assembled a blend of 38% pinot noir (white base wine), 2% pinot noir red wine (for that lovely colour), 30% chardonnay and 30% pinot meunier. The chardonnay was a blend of vintages, but the pinots were 2019 base wine - so this wine must be labelled NV.  After fermenting again (creating the bubbles!) It was then aged on lees for 30 months before being disgorged with zero dosage.
