Description

This is a light-bodied red made for drinking while in the flush of its youth.

Nebbiolo, while having a reputation for being a powerhouse, can make these softer, early-drinking reds when handled gently. Especially when it's paired up with the bright and jubey Refosco grape - it's a match made in heaven here from Pat Underwood.

It's a pitch-perfect red for warmer weather, filled with sweet strawberry and cherry notes and a lovely floral top note. It's a little nervy and has a lot of energy. It's fantastic to drink.

Very approachable and friendly drop

This is just a very fun blend of Nebbiolo and Refosco. Rich in red fruits but also light enough to be very food-versatile imo. Also has a good bit of tannic bite to the finish that's very satisfying in meat dishes.

A lovely plum red colour, pale at the edges with flicks of terracotta throughout. Smells of muddled plum, black berry, and raspberry, red pepper and bell pepper and a little rosemary.


The palate really over delivers - generous fruit, bloody orange, ripe raspberry and fresh plums sit between walls of tannin that run long through the pallet. The tannin builds weight in the mouth. A little amaro finish is true to the varieties and somewhat Italiano. It’s refreshing and satisfying, happy in or out of the fridge depending on the weather of the day. Delicious on its own but will lift with a little bit of food.


Ah, hello NEW! The first new was wacky wacky 2015 Beechworth Nebbiolo. Since 2016 Nebbiolo from Willoughby Bridge has joined Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso from Chalmers to present a work-horse of vinous accessibility and joy. This seventh bottling sees some new clonal material planted on new parts of the hill from Chalmers. The season presented a beautiful crescendo during ripening, with very cold mornings coming during the last week or so of the season - giving deliciously ripe phenolics at lower alcohols.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
