  • Scott Cosgriff

    Scott Cosgriff is a former human rights lawyer turned winemaker whose Tampopo label – based halfway between Melbourne and Ballarat – makes small-batch, acid-driven wines from fruit sourced across Victoria and NSW. The range spans sangiovese, pinot noir, chardonnay, vermentino, a skin-contact riesling called Holus Bolus, a rosado, and a traditional-method lambrusco under the Radio Tampopo sub-label. Maceration times across the range run from three days to 150, which tells you something about the breadth of curiosity at work. The philosophy is food-first, unhurried, and rooted in the idea that wine can be both an everyday staple and something irreplaceable – accessible without being ordinary.

  • 2022 Bellbrae Estate ‘Bird Rock’ Pinot Noir

    If you want to understand what wine-lovers mean when they talk of ‘terroir’, look no further than this wine, which has a mineral structure and searing elegance that demonstrates its origin on hard limestone soils close to the Southern Ocean.

  • 2022 Lethbridge Gamay

    A departure from the rich styles of tempranillo so often made, this emphasises red fruits and white pepper spice on a midweight frame with grippy tannins and rugged regional mineral notes to close.

  • Natasha Webster

    The name of Tash Webster’s Empire of Dirt label is part homage to the distinctive territory of the Geelong region and part reminder of tough times past. Webster makes a vintage sparkling, citrussy Bellarine chardonnay and a gamay and shiraz that are built to highlight the power and flesh the Moorabool Valley can bestow on…

  • Jonathan Ross

    Master Sommelier Jonathan Ross knows a little bit about wine. Before his recent foray into getting his hands dirty, Ross has been more accustomed to the crisply starched linen of some of the world’s best restaurants. Indeed, actually the world’s best. A New Jersey native, Ross worked his way along the familiar busboy-food-runner path in…

  • Ben Mullen

    Mulline is Ben Mullen’s solo venture, focusing on sites across the broader Geelong region. Fresh out of a stint as the winemaker at a regional headliner, Mullen was keen to continue his relationship with the grapes of the region, but on his own terms. Mulline was born in the 2019 vintage, with classically elegant single-site expressions of pinot noir, syrah and chardonnay and a barrel-aged sauvignon blanc leading the way. Today, that venture has grown, with the Mulline brand becoming a Geelong leading light.
