100% Chenin Blanc (Dry, no skin maceration) From a vineyard planted in 1972 Vinified in 50% stainless steel, 50% older 500-litre barrels. This is wonderous; I am currently quite fascinated with Chenin Blanc and this wine is one of the reasons why, this is very shy on nose and incredibly fine pure and delicate in the mouth with super balance and length, vibrating with tension. It will expand and develop with age. Super wine

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.
