Description
WINEMAKER: Dominique & Thomas
REGION: Granite Belt/South Burnett, QLD
VARIETY: Chardonnay, Semillon
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
Basket-pressed Chardonnay, aged in older oak barriques and topped with Sémillon. More of a true orange wine than anything else we’ve made. Golden-hued with driving acidity, it’s flinty but floral and there’s heaps of citrus pith and citrus oil to dance around your mouth. Chilling adds some apricot jam notes and decanting softens the whole experience very nicely and drifts towards that lighter tannic, tea-like mouthfeel.
Crusher Wines are born from a love of locally sourced produce, community and experimentation. We source the best Queensland fruit from across a range of climates to create fun, interesting and thoughtful wines with as minimal intervention as required. We offer a fresh & accessible take on what can be expected from Queensland Wine. Made with exclusively Queensland fruit for our crisp and star-filled nights, these wines are best (in our opinion) served ever-so-slightly chilled, decanted and with good food & friends.
Our Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet and Merlot fruit is from Geynyan Country/Leyburn on the Granite Belt whilst the Barbera, Sémillon and Sangiovese is from Wakka Wakka Country/Moffatdale in the South Burnett region. All fruit hand-picked with love, laughter and hard yakka by us and our nearest and dearest. Our cork closures are sealed with charcoal-dyed local beeswax from our good friend Gary of Gary’s Honey.

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.
