2022 Balmy Nights White
Description
WINEMAKER: Dan Simmons
REGION: Hilltops, NSW
VARIETAL: Schönburger
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic
Handpicked from the certified organic Ablington Vineyard in Pokolbin, Hunter Valley. Farmed by Meagan & James, planted on sandy loam soils. 25% of the fruit was foot stomped & macerated on skins for 24 hours. Pressed to stainless steel to settle the following day, then racked to neutral French puncheons for wild fermentation & 10 months maturation on gross lees. Bottled by hand, unfined & unfiltered. Crunchy, salty, aromatic white with ample texture & intrigue. Go forth!
Sommelier, distributor, now winemaker Dan Simmons can do it all. Balmy Nights is a collaborative project from industry mates looking to make fun, drinkable, minimal intervention wine from organic fruit at approachable prices. Yes chef!

SPÖN Bottle Shop & Wine Bar: Made for Discovery

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.
