Description
VARIETAL: Pinot Gris
REGION: Yarra Valley, VIC
WINEMAKER: Dave Mackintosh
VITICULTURE: Organic/Sustainable
Upper Yarra Valley Pinot Gris from the red and chocolate soils of The Patch Vineyard at the back of the Dandenong Ranges. Stomped a couple of times. 14 days on skins, then pressed to old puncheons where it goes through full malolactic fermentation prior to 4 months ageing at cool temps. No adds apart from a bit of sulphur at bottling. No fining or filtration.
Fresh herbs, spice and smokiness. Amaro, Toffee apple, figs and red berry flavours. Juicy and bright with a tight savoury tannin and a slight orange peel finish.
Smokestack Lightning is back - and now in 750ml bottles! Inspired by an early 50’s Delta Blues track originally played by Howlin’ Wolf, this is Dave Bro's raw, minimal input exploration of skin contact wine from grapes grown on Yarra soil.

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.
