Description
Borachio - a skin for holding wine, commonly a goat's, or a drunkard.' Previously working with James Erskine at Jauma, Alicia and Mark make wine in Carey Gully with fruit sourced from organically farmed vineyards in Mount Compass and Mount Torrens.
"Whole bunch pressed, fermented to nearly dry, then to barrel for a rest. | Fond of sand dunes and salty air, quaint little villages here and there? If you’ve been to Mungo Brush on the NSW coast you might picture massive dunes and remember ripping the trucks off a skateboard deck to slide down the monsters. I guess i’d seen people do it with ‘for sale’ signs and assumed my classic Powell Peralta deck would do the trick. It didn’t. Copped a face full of sand. Textural and memorable. Hey, how about that view?!" - Alicia & Mark

SPÖN PICKS
SPÖN Bottle Shop & Wine Bar: Made for Discovery
A 50-seater wine bar; Inspired by the charming, drink-in bottle shops hidden throughout the cobblestone streets of Europe, explore a rotating world of natural, organic, rare & vintage wines, and craft beers sourced from Australia and across the globe.
Born in Newtown
Nestled in the vibrant heart of Newtown – We created SPÖN as a cozy neighbourhood bottle shop and wine bar that feels relaxed, welcoming and distinctly its own. Creative, a little gritty, a little playful and always full of something new & unexpected — just like Newtown.
A bottle shop with a bar problem.
SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
