25.01.2022 Mayer - Bloody Hill Villages, Chardonnay 2020 When we rule the world, we will all be drinking more Chardonnay as an act of patriotic duty. Until that time we urge you to strike out on your own and there is no better place to start than this beauty from Timo Mayer. It’s succulent, fresh and supple with classic Yarra Valley form and drive with an expansive mid-palate and lovely textural component, fading off into the distance all citrus and stone-fruity.

23.01.2022 Gentle Folk - Summertown Blanc 2020 Sav Blanc on skins. Sometimes mind blowing. Always exciting. We love that you sorta know what to expect here, but also, you don’t. Stone fruits that dance out of the glass, a fleshy full-flavoured mouthfeel, and clean acid straight down the middle that says, ‘drink me in the park, but bring some nice glasses’.

23.01.2022 Pet Nat Picnic, 6 Pack The name says it all Pet-Nats, made for picnics. Well, you can enjoy them elsewhere, but we can't think of a better setting for these naturally fizzy, fun and fruity numbers. Best consumed with good company, in any case.

22.01.2022 Samuel Vinciullo - Red, Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 If there was a classic Aussie red category of anything Sam Vinciullo made, this would be in it. But he can’t be boxed in. No way. With nothing added and nothing taken away, this is just shiraz and cab sav, fermented on skins, unfiltered and unfined, no oak. Inky and deep, long and clean.

20.01.2022 Bink - 1000 Island, Red Blend 1000 Island is a small bar in Adelaide, specialising in party shirts, late night shenanigans and passionfruit cocktails they set alight. Another specialty to add to their repertoire is this wine, made in their honour, especially for them, by Belgian import, Bink. The label looks a little like a packet of Life Savers, which can also describe what’s in the glass, if you were to throw the whole packet in your mouth at once. A swirling mix of bright acid and juicy berries. A real party. Wear a loud shirt. Shop Bink Wine now at https://sometimesalways.com.au | Free shipping on all orders, Australia-wide |

20.01.2022 Find Your Style Esoteric & Skinsy These wines are the ‘opposite’ to a rose white wine grapes with red wine winemaking. Like a red, they can be big, bold and textural, pushing the boundaries of what many think a white wine is capable of achieving. However, this style of winemaking pre-dates all modern forms of white wine, its staying power is proof that it is worthy of your time.

19.01.2022 The name says it all, really. Good Intentions are a young couple just trying to go about wine the right way focusing on organic farming, lo-fi winemaking and putting in the hard work rather than cutting corners. You may not have had a wine from Mount Gambier before but given this is a mix of limestone and volcanic soils grown in cool climate, they’re uniquely complex. The wines are as fun and expressive as they look. Perfect to welcome Spring with.

19.01.2022 Latta - Good Times, Pet Nat 2020 - Magnum It’s called ‘Good Times’ and that’s exactly what it delivers. This is pool party juice for adults, with strawberries and cream, spice, florals and the prefect twist of orange rind in your Campari. Don’t mix up an aperitif. No time for that. Crack another. What’s that, you say? It’s a magnum? Thank the grapelords. Shop Latta Vino now at https://sometimesalways.com.au | Free shipping on all orders, Australia-wide |

17.01.2022 Final bottles available for this vintage! Farr Rising - Gamay 2019 A cult wine that has been growing in reputation since Nick Farr first grafted gamay to his own block in 1998. If you’re looking for this much-loved variety, with an Australian fingerprint, this is ground zero. Handpicked and sorted and fermented under CO2, it shows bright cherries and savoury herbs.

16.01.2022 Giovanni Armani Giorgio - Rosso del Giorno, Red Blend 2020 A cheekily labeled red from Steven Crawford and Carlo Jensen. It’s got a Barossan core with a distinct, Italian-inspired gait. Sangiovese from the rocking Hoffmann vineyard up in the northern end of the Barossa Valley, it’s all about red plum and cherry goodness with tobacco and spice notes and a distinct savoury, though plushly fruited swagger.

13.01.2022 Latta - Rattlesnake, White Blend 2020 A mad take in some traditional French varieties here with a mix of multiple skin contact ferments from the mighty Ballarat in Victoria. It’s a textural ride, delicious and mind-bending in equal measures. Peachy, stone fruity, crazy floral flashes and visions of spice, tangerine rind and souk-like spices. There is a gentle tug of tannin and it’s just a rad, wild-eyed and effortlessly delicious wine to drink.

12.01.2022 Shobbrook - Rose Grenache 2018 Rose by name (not rosé), orange wine by nature. This baby was made from 100-year-old vines and dosed with 2% Sherry to round out the flavour. Creativity in a bottle, with the acid you’d expect. Tom Shobbrook takes you on a sophisticated and thoughtful journey here, with everything coming from the same vineyard. What a trip.

10.01.2022 The brand new releases from Frank Cornelissen have arrived at Sometimes Always. Munjebel - White Blend, 2018 This little skin-contact white should be just as sought after as the iconic reds and rosés of Frank Cornelissen. In his little patch of Mt Etna in Sicily, he produces wines with a unique fingerprint, and his entire line-up stands out. Hell, in 2020, this is your passport and plane ticket right here. Close your eyes, the borders just opened. Susucaru - Rosato ...2019 **Only available as part of our Cult Lo-Fi Mixed 3 Pack** Look! It’s that favourite cult wine. You know, every time this lands, we’re miffed by the demand. Then, we pop one, and remember. Skin contact, fragrance, sense of place and the saline kick that comes from Sicily’s Mt Etna. Is it a rosé? Is it a light red? Southern Italy doing a Northern France kinda thing. Mind. Blown. Again.

09.01.2022 Rivulet - Le Tang, Riesling / Chardonnay / Siegerrebe 2018 A collaboration between sommelier Wiremu Andrews and Rivulet’s Keira O’Brien, taking riesling, chardonnay and skin fermented Siegerrebe a German wine that made its way to Tasmania in the 1970s for trials on frost tolerant varieties. ‘Le Tang’ says it all, really. This aromatic and textural blend was unfined with gentle filtration to keep the good stuff in.

08.01.2022 Jérôme Balmet - Lemon Head, Gamay 2018 A protégé of both Jean-Claude Lapalu and Mathieu Lapierre, winemaker Jérôme Balmet now works some 3.5ha of vines organically and biodynamically. A super-lo-fi production mostly in old concrete tanks, the fruit goes from vineyard to bottle with no additions at all. The product of a steep slope, this is so light and fresh, while herbaceous and serious. Jérôme Balmet - Red Beard, Gamay 2018 Jérôme Balmet honed his skills with both J...ean-Claude Lapalu and Mathieu Lapierre, now working some 3.5ha of organically and biodynamically farmed vines. These wines are all about light macerations in old concrete tanks and foudres, bottled with no additions at all. A lush and fruit-forward Gamay. Intriguing and memorable.

07.01.2022 Koerner - Pigato, Vermentino 2020 Sexy drinking. This is a sophisticated Vermentino from 2019’s Young Guns of Wine, out of the Clare Valley. Lower alcohol at 10.9% and all about the fruit freshness and smashability (in a classy way). Like peach iced tea for adults, a friend of ours calls it ‘breakfast wine’ but we can’t condone that in print.

07.01.2022 Skinsy Sunshine 6 Pack The pack name says it all, really. A mixed bag of varieties and winemaking techniques, yet you can hedge your bets some skin contact has occurred along the way. Generous, yet still bursting with bright citrus. Shop Mixed Packs now https://sometimesalways.com.au/product/fun-textural-6-pack/ | Free shipping on all orders, Australia-wide |

06.01.2022 Shobbrook -Cabernet Franc 2020 Not what you expect when you hear ‘Barossa Cabernet Franc’. This is all at once pretty, fragrant, sour and vibrant and when that dry finish and soft tannin kicks, you know this is seriously well-thought-out juice. Whole-berry ferment characteristics shine, alongside a charismatic display of terroir, the Tom Shobbrook way.

05.01.2022 Latta - Benevolent, Cabernet Franc 2020 No SO2, all de-stemmed and fermented in concrete. The story goes, there was not enough Cab Franc to go round and a last minute phone call turned up this fruit. It was so good Owen Latta went for no additions and no tricks, letting a great 38-year-old vineyard tell its own tale. Juicy up-front brightness and blueberries all the way. All class.

04.01.2022 Dal Zotto - Col Fondo, Prosecco 2019 We are big fans of Col Fondo, now known as ‘Sui Lieviti’ because, you know. Italian wine laws are weird. The Dal Zotto clan in Victoria’s King Valley are not weird. They are lovely and their cracking, cloudy, leesy Col Fondo Prosecco is a glimpse into how the style was made in the past and we reckon that sometimes, it’s a pretty good idea to look back at the past. It’s a tasty trip too! Shop Dal Zotto now at https://sometimesalways.com.au//dal-zotto-col-fondo-prose/ | Free shipping on all orders, Australia-wide |

03.01.2022 Bobar - Syrah 2019 Tom & Sally Belford produce some stunning wines from Victoria’s Yarra Valley wine region. Their detailed and beautiful wines sit at the Lo-Fi end of the vinous spectrum and the Syrah is one of our favourites. Whole bunches and carbonic maceration gives the wine texture and aromatic lift and the wine finishes fermentation and elevage in stainless steel for fruit purity and detail. Plummy, spicy and at the lighter end of medium-bodied it’s got crunch and sa...ss and oodles of inherent drinkability. Bobar - Voignier 2019 The Yarra Valley’s Bobar Wines consistently produce one of the most impressive Viognier wines in the country. The Bobar rendition of the grape variety is subtle and fine with a gorgeous texture and flow across the palate. Fruit aromas and flavours of spiced pear, citrus and just a waft of apricot and almond blossom. It’s expansive, pithy and generous in the mouth with a great acid backbone reining in the fruit, keeping everything in line. Great slinky, savoury drinking.

01.01.2022 Moorak - Touriga Nacional 2019 These days, it gladens our hearts to see so many Portugeuse grape varieties on Australian wine labels. They are suited to our climate and provide tremendous drinking to boot. Here, Moorak Wines have snaffled a parcel of Touriga Nacional (Toor-eega Na-cee-on-arl) from the Leask vineyard in Mclaren Vale. Some carbonic maceration & whole bunch action lets in a little light to the usually robust deep fruit profile for a cracking take on the variet...y. Moorak - Riesling 2020 This precise and linear Riesling from the fine folks at Moorak Wines hails from the Yacca Paddock vineyard in Kuitpo in the Adelaide Hills. Achingly pure lime and citrus fruits at its core with some floral notes fluttering above, it’s a laser-focussed wine with a great velocity across the palate. It’s thirst-slaking with a wonderful tight minerality to its line that screams out for some Coffin Bay oysters and some sand between your toes.
