2025 Alpha Box & Dice X-021 Picpoul
Description
WINEMAKER: Sam Berketa
REGION: McLaren Vale, SA
VARIETY: Picpoul
VITICULTURE: Organic
The X Range has just gained a new family member. Previously betrothed to the South of France, this Picpoul has swapped the Mediterranean for the Fleurieu. A familiar salty sea-breeze marries the crunch of green apple and zing of lemony goodness. Bringing bright energetic citrus and a touch of minerality to your posh picky dinner. A perfect pairing with freshly shucked oysters and a cracker laden with creamy soft brie. En français, Pique-poul translates to a ‘sting to the lip’ but we believe this is a smooth operator.

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.
