Brasserie des Voirons Vivante Bitter Orange
This blond beer recipe is a blend of a maceration of 80 kg of bitter oranges in a stoneware jar and a cuvée worked in the manner of an Italian bitter with plants, roots, spices and of course citrus peel infused during fermentation.
2022 Mallaluka Amber
Chardonnay, fiano, semillon and white muscat! A simple, All Occasions orange wine that has had a 3 week fermented extraction period on skins. Not too tropical, not too savoury, somewhere in between.
2022 Aristotelis Ke Anthoula Mandarin
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc. On first sip it’s immediately bright and zippy, loaded with tingles of stone fruit and citrus, the mid palate has tonnes of texture with hints of butterscotch cut with a pleasing flinty finish that gives it incredible length and precision. Side Note: The winemaker Tony Zafirakos is a 2023 finalist for the Young Gun of Wine award.
2022 Italian Plastic Blush
Pinot Gris. Three weeks on skins. An Aussie, rosy ramato renaissance, but what is Ramato? Traditionally made with Pinot Grigio from Friuli-Venezia Giulia in Italy, that's somewhere between rosé and orange wine. The name “ramato” comes from the word “rame,” which basically translates to “copper” in Italian.
Ziggys Bull Kelp Seaweed & Native thyme
From the mountains to the sea! Wild Bull Kelp - salty and tasting like the sea, and Native Thyme from inland - picked, dried and fermented into a unique warming treat. The Wild Bull Kelp adds so much body to the sauce, and if you close your eyes you can smell the beach. For the days when it’s too cold to pack a picnic and head to the beach - pour some of this on your food instead!

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.
