Description
WINEMAKER: Hamish McDonald
VARIETY: Chardonnay
REGION: Orange, N.S.W.
VITICULTURE: Biodynamic
Biodynamically grown Chardonnay from Orange. The grapes were picked early and thrown on a mixture of destemmed and whole-bunched skins, where the free-run juice was drained out over a couple of days until the barrel was filled. Then after a total of three years sleeping on gross lees, this super freaky high-acid and slightly oxidative wine was bottled without the addition of sulphur straight out of the barrel. It’s moreish and chewy, has subtle toffee and stewed apple notes that all underline a generous squeeze of the lemon.

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.
