2021 Tropo Pet Nat Pink
Not gonna lie. You will need more than one bottle of this.
Pet Nat has come a long way in a short time. Unico Zelo have nailed their take on it with this Tropo. It's a cool blend of Chardonnay for weight, Pinot Gris for fruit and Merlot for some structure and - with their powers combined - it becomes a dangerously drinkable sparkling.
Like all pet nats, ease is key. It's a sparkling which doesn't take itself too seriously. With a focus on a sherbet-esque fizz, generous strawberry/blackcurrant flavours and floral nose, it's a wine which is friendly and comforting. As great with a long lazy afternoon by the pool as with hurried late night take-out.

Wayne and Suzi at Smallfry make an eclectic range of Barossa wines, and we particularly like their toe-dipping into hearty, skin-contact white wines of late.
Just a small amount of of this cracking skin-contact blend of Riesling and Roussanne was made. It luxuriates in tropical fruit, pineapple and floral flavours, supported by a rich, skinsy palate.
Jump in head first, or feet first, whatever your predilection.

This is a fantastic introduction into the wild and wooly world of skin contact white wines.
Blend of organic (uncertified) Riesling and at touch of Semillon from from the west. The fruit spent an average of six days on skins to pick up colour, tannin, texture and chew. The third full swing at this fun wine style from young Ryan O'Meara and he's hit it out of the park.
If you're looking to check out the 'orange' or 'amber' wine scene but don't know where to start, this is the perfect gateway drug.

Rainbow Juice is a wine that walks to the beat of its own drum.
This year's iteration is a blend of twelve (yes, twelve!) different varieties, both red and white, all sourced from the Basket Range in the Adelaide Hills.
All the varieties were fermented for a short time on skins and then direct pressed to oak to complete fermentation. No additions of any kind found their way into the bottle, this is pure Rainbow Juice and it's seriously tasty stuff.
It's a breezy wine, wild and untamed. It screams sunshine and good vibes. Gareth describes it as Adelaide Hills spring in a glass...

For Sheriff Owen Latta The Wild West is the wine regions of Western Victoria, and this bouncy light red takes fruit from his home base in the Pyrenees, supported by grapes from across the western part of the state.
The grapes are a licorice allsorts affair featuring Mataro, Grenache, Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Lagrein, and Shiraz. But that's not really the point.
The point is its insane, fun drinkability aligned with the vinous quality that defines Latta's minimalist wines. Drink it quick and fun, maybe with a chill, though it is pretty cool in its own right.

If you want a vibrant and pure food-friendly red, look no further than this little Dolcetto from the Scanlon brothers at Dirty Black Denim.
It offers the perfect melding of bright cherry and red berry flavours, wrapped up in fine tannins with a fresh line of acidity to build some tension. Little herbaceous notes throughout keep it dry and savoury, perfect to pour into a glass and enjoy with a meal or good company.
Made without any additions at all - not even sulphur - it massively overdelivers for the price. Straight up no brainer.
