Club Selections
MAY 2025 CLUB SELECTIONS
Here are the latest Wine Club selections, with some exciting pre-release and museum reds ready to drink as we move into the cooler months.
Members have first dibs on a new and bright little Grenache (only 70 dozen made; it's here for a good time, not a long time!) plus last dibs on museum releases of Syrah, Durif, Durif Viognier & Single Vintage Muscat.
Not a reds drinker? We've got you covered! This round sees two new Viognier releases, which are best served less chilled, making them ideal winter whites. Plus we've introduced a new wine pack called Chillable, similar to the White & Rosé pack but for this round includes our chilled red and a skinsy dry brown muscat, so slightly more adventurous drinking.
Muscat Gin is also available as an add-on to any 6 Pack.
The deadline for selections is SUNDAY 11 MAY.
Any changes to your default wine selection must be made by this cut-off date.
Log into our Membership portal where you can review and update your selection, shipping address and credit card details as required. Step-by-step instructions are provided below.

FROM THE WINEMAKER: WHAT'S NEW? WHAT'S SPECIAL?
New VIOGNIER 2023. I'm super passionate about this French variety, with a vision for purity and site expression guiding how I make this wine. Handpicked at Linlithgow, our estate vineyard, wild fermented and matured in ceramic barrel, old and new French oak. Alongside juicy apricot, preserved lemon and ginger, the palate is savoury-charged with good weight and texture. Modern, energetic and a sure bet if you're invited to dinner!
New SUPER V 2024. Viognier, wild fermented on skins to create a fun, textural dry white. Varietal characters of apricot, tangy tangerine and savoury spice are dialled right up in this skin-contact white. Grapes were handpicked at Rutherglen's Melvilles Vineyard, wild fermented and aged in pre-loved French oak. Unfiltered, slightly cloudy. Sling it around with pork dumplings, or your fave Thai takeaway on the couch in your comfy pants.
New DAYLIGHT RED 2024. The new release of our chilled dry red is bright and boisterous! With cherry, raspberry and red currant vibes, take this wine out for a spin over wood-fired pizza. Made from early-season, handpicked Durif, dialled right back to offer fresh and moreish red fruit flavours.
Pre-release GRENACHE 2024. Only 70 dozen made!
*One bottle limit per 6 pack due to very limited volume.
Last year we were able to access some local Rutherglen Grenache, which we handpicked, wild fermented and matured in pre-loved French oak (no new oak). Bright, savoury and bursting with cherries and spice, it's a lighter style that offers great all-seasons drinking. A Grenache for Pinot lovers, perhaps, and it's just as delicious lightly chilled as it is at room temp.
Museum SYRAH 2019.
Trophy for Best Wine from a Small Producer, Victorian Wine Show 2021.
*Available in REDS pack only due to very limited volume.
A medium-bodied, detailed and elegant Shiraz representing the renaissance of Terravinia Vineyard: four acres nestled into a northern slope overlooking Murray River flats. Wild fermented, 50% whole berries, some stems. Basket pressed, matured in 15% new French oak for 11 months. Ready to drink now; we've done the cellaring time.
Halliday Wine Companion on its original release:
Herewith, Rutherglen shiraz shows its more genteel side, polished and charming. It certainly makes an impression hosting heady aromatics, red berries, dried herbs, all corralled nicely by well-mannered oak. Sneaks up on you and then you are hooked. (Jeni Port)
Museum DURIF 2016. 4.5 STARS Winestate Magazine (Best of Vic Tasting 2019)
When handpicked at the right time, hot vintage conditions - like those experienced in 2016 - deliver powerful fruit flavours and characters that are, simply, very Rutherglen. There is length, earth and weight - but also freshness - to this Durif. This style celebrates persistent and fine tannin. Now eight years old, this tannin supports intense flavours of plum, red currants and dark forest fruits. The power of the 2016 vintage is evident, yet delivered by fruit intensity rather than fruit ripeness. With age we see oak providing the stage for the star of the show: beautiful fruit, handpicked at peak intensity.
Museum DURIF VIOGNIER 2014. Gold medal.
*One bottle limit per 6 pack due to very limited volume.
A style inspired by Northern Rhone reds. Co-fermentation with 4% Viognier results in a fine and aromatic Durif. With aromas of violet and sweet spices, characters of baked red plums, juicy red currants and macerated cherries follow on the palate. A cooler vintage delivered fine yet structured tannins in this supple wine. Bust out the duck ragu or mushroom pasta recipes!
Rated 94pts by Halliday on its original release:
Vigneron Rowly Milhinch has made the traditional image of durif stand on its head. It's vibrant and fresh, imposing red nuances in the foundation of dark berry fruit flavours. Its balance is such that you can enjoy it now or in ten years... which is now!
Museum AFTER DARK 2014. Gold medal.
Our signature fortified Durif: semi-sweet, vibrant and clean. An elegant and delicate wine from a cool vintage. Black cherries, red plums and currants sing with notes of forest floor and cooking spice. Clean acidity balances fine tannin and the fortifying spirit for a lively finish. Pass the dark chocolate!
Museum SINGLE VINTAGE MUSCAT 2007.
*Available in SWEET packs only due to very limited volume.
This bottle-aged single-vintage fortified Muscat is showing characters of light toffee, hay, musk and citrus peel. With lovely clean acidity, this delicate dessert wine is delish with creamy desserts or soft cheeses.
