A Crisp White to Kick Things Off: Chain of Ponds 'Black Thursday' Sauvignon Blanc 2024 

Easter means autumn’s kicking in, but we’re still chasing that fresh, sunny vibe. The Chain of Ponds 'Black Thursday' Sauvignon Blanc 2024 from Adelaide Hills is your ticket. This wine’s zesty and packed with passionfruit, tropical punch, and a cheeky bit of green herb goodness. It’s like a fruit salad you can drink—perfect for a Good Friday seafood sesh (think prawns straight off the barbie or some Tassie salmon).  

Rosé for the Arvo: Lloyd Brothers Hills & Coast Rosé 2024 

Nothing says Aussie Easter like a laid-back arvo with mates, and the Lloyd Brothers Hills & Coast Rosé 2024 fits the bill. This Grenache is a stunner—think watermelon, strawberry, and a creamy finish with a hint of spice. It’s like a sunset in a glass! Crack it open for a brekkie of hot cross buns or a sneaky ham sanga from the leftovers pile.  

A Red to Warm the Soul: Rusty Mutt Chien Violet Organic McLaren Vale Shiraz 2023 

When the Easter Sunday roast hits the table—whether it’s lamb with all the trimmings or a juicy bit of beef—you’ll want a red that can handle it. The Rusty Mutt Chien Violet Organic McLaren Vale Shiraz 2023 from the Wits End vineyard is a bloody ripper. Organic and full of character, it’s got floral notes of orange blossom and rose petals, plus a juicy citrus kick that keeps evolving. It’s bold enough for the barbie but fresh enough for our milder autumn days.  

Bubbles for the Fun: Something Sparkling to Celebrate 

Easter’s not Easter without a bit of fizz—those egg hunts and backyard cricket matches deserve a toast! We’ve got a cracking range of Aussie and international sparkling's. A classic sparkling white or a cheeky Prosecco will do the trick—perfect for popping as the sun dips and the kids (or you) run amok.
