Description
WINEMAKER: Simon Amber
REGION: Adelaide Hills, SA
VARIETY: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
VITICULTURE: Organic
"These wines are made using fruit from a farm called Minko on the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula, grown organically in a relatvely remote area, not far from the Southern Ocean. Each variety is from a north facing vineyard that in 2021 enjoyed a very warm and sunny ripening period that allowed the vines to develop fullness and complexity, while still retaining a saline minerality due to their growth in deep sandy soil.
An assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon fermented for 2 months using whole-bunch carbonic maceraton; rosato of Cabernet Sauvignon; and a light 5 day co-ferment of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Aged in old barrels for 8 months before being botled in the middle of Spring. No added sulphites, no fining or filtraton. Further aged in botle for 18 months." - Simon
After years of working with the legendary Tim and Monique at Manon, Simon now makes his own wine out of the same shed as the wonderful Travis Tausend. Legends left, right and centre, really. Organic fruit, zero adds, pure and ethereal wines. A winemaker to watch!

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.
