Description
WINEMAKER: Nick Dugmore
REGION: Kangaroo Island, SA
VARIETY: Pinot Gris
VITICULTURE: Organic
GROWN AT OUR CASSINI VINEYARD. SPRING WEATHER WAS TOUGH FOR THE EARLY-FLOWERING VARIETIES. WE PICKED A LOW YIELD OF 1.3 TONNES FROM A BLOCK THAT SHOULD PROVIDE 4 - 5. BUT THE ACID WAS SPOT ON, AND THE FRUIT WAS CLEAN. FRUIT WAS HAND-PICKED AND WHOLE-BUNCH BASKET PRESSED ON A WARM MARCH DAY. JUICE WAS CHILLED IN TANK, THEN HALF WAS TRANSFERRED TO BARRELS FOR WILD FERMENT. ONCE THE BARRELS HAD STARTED TICKING, SOME OF THE JUICE WAS SYPHONED OUT TO INOCULATE THE TANK PORTION. IT DIDN’T STAY IN BARREL FOR LONG- JUST TWO WEEKS IN TOTAL, THEN BLENDED BACK WITH THE TANK PORTION, SETTLED AND PREPARED FOR BOTTLE.

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.
