June Wine Pack

‘Fly’ is Beyond the Glass’ bright and expressive take on Marsanne; lifted aromatics, silky texture and effortless drinkability. It’s a modern, fresh style of the variety that still carries the classic Marsanne weight. This cuvée balances Marsanne’s natural waxy depth with refreshing acidity thanks to stainless steel fermentation and gentle old-oak handling. The result is a wine that feels both structured and easygoing. Think Rhône-variety charm, but with a distinctly Victorian lift and clarity.

This little Lambrusco from Tidy Town is all about easygoing, juicy red cherry and subtle hints of herbs. It’s light, textural, and meant to be enjoyed chilled; perfect for a sunny afternoon or a casual evening with friends. Playful, approachable, and just plain fun.

VS&B approaches Nebbiolo with a balance of respect for tradition and an understanding of Australian site expression. Grown in Beechworth’s elevated vineyards and granite-rich soils, the fruit develops the variety’s classic perfume and structure while retaining freshness through the region’s cool nights. Farming is low-intervention and detail-oriented, with careful canopy management helping achieve even ripening for this notoriously demanding grape. In the winery, extraction is kept measured to manage Nebbiolo’s naturally firm tannins, before maturation in older oak to soften edges without masking varietal character. The wine opens with rose petal, sour cherry, and dried herbs, finishing with fine tannins and a mineral edge that reflects both the site and the thoughtful restraint of the winemaking.
