Poppy’s pick of the week is the 2023 I Vigneri ‘1435’ Etna Rosso.

Old vines and volcanic terroir make this Etna Rosso savoury & quietly powerful. Full of bright red fruit, spice and smoky minerality from the slopes of Mount Etna.

Available instore at CWS.

We’ve been excitedly sitting on this announcement for a little while. Still, after months of organising and tracking shipments, making space in the cellars and letting everything rest, we’re delighted to welcome the wines of Sardinian producer La Contralta to the shores of Australia!

La Contralta is an exciting young project, founded in 2019, born out of love for the island and the desire to create thoughtful wines of place. Practicing what they call “wine minimalism”, they focus on just the three core grapes of Sardinia (Vermentino, Cannonau, and Carignano).

We can’t wait to pour you a glass of these truly fantastic wines, available across our venues on Spring Street and Hardware Lane.

Connie’s pick this week is a nod to home. Growing up in Chile, Malbec is always on the table, and this 2024 release from Paramoor Winery in the Macedon Ranges hits all the right notes.
