If there's anything the joy of spring unleashes upon us, it's the ability to start chilling down our reds again. The Vin de Sofa is one such wine - mainly Gamay but also has Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre and Sangiovese. Bursting with all the red fruits you'd expect from that combination of grapes, but with a crunchy bone dry finish. The wine underwent full malolactic fermentation but is unfined and unfiltered – to capture all that texture and vibrancy in every delicious.
Gareth is a former marine biologist who was born in South Africa and settled in South Australia as a teenager thanks to a tennis scholarship. After working vintage with James Erskine (Jauma), Gareth began to make his own wine from 2013 with his partner Rainbo.

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.
