2024 Alpha Box & Dice Pâté Trousseau
Description
WINEMAKER: Sam Berketa
REGION: McLaren Vale, SA
VARIETY: Trousseau
VITICULTURE: Sustainable
"Year after year, this wine yields the most pleasant of surprises. Known as Trousseau in France and Bastardo in Portugal, this variety has been in the country for years. Often disregarded due to its early ripening tendency, but when you embrace this characteristic, you’ll find pretty fruits and earthy tones. It's such a dainty little number, carrying layers of berries, spice and savoury notes all interwoven beautifully through a delicate acidity and playful tannins. Despite its light complexion, there’s depth and character beneath a shy mystique." ~ Sam Berketa, Head Winemaker

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.
