Description
WINEMAKER: Jackie & Elliott Paradoxa
REGION: Central Ranges, NSW
VARIETY: Syrah, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
Syrah, Viognier + a little Cabernet and Merlot. A bit of everything – i.e lots of whole bunches, skins, carbonic and several months in barrel. All processed by hand and gravity. Easy drinking red, chilled, room temp or anywhere in between.
Our main aim is to regenerate our soil’s vitality and health whilst producing natural wine as by-product. Over the initial 3 years of working with this vineyard we have applied numerous biodynamic preparations, tanks of compost/microbial teas and dosed the vines with some organic vitamins and nutrients. We allow grasses and other plants under vine to grow long and lush before cutting them down – ideally leaving a heavy layer of organic matter to cover the soil surface and break down. We plan on continuing to dry farm these vines. These practices, along with a whole lotta love and gratitude, have allowed us to grow our grapes without needing to apply any of the pesticides – organic (copper and sulphur) or synthetic. All the above has ensured that our grape cultivation methods are probiotic rather anti-biotic.
We want to allow the life force and vitality inherent within the grapes (microbiome and all) to be captured within the wine. We believe that grapes grown in a biological way have a higher vitality, which results in robust and healthy spontaneous ferments. The resulting wine needs little intervention to end up balanced and stable (relatively). As of 2023 our wines have no added sulphites and are unfined and unfiltered. We aim to make living wines. All our 2022 & 2023 wines are grown by us.

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.
