East Coast newcomer Rooster & Robin made its debut at this year's Great Eastern Wine Weekend, attracting attention with its new cellar door and giant sculptures. This is only the second release for a sustainable brand based on the former Melrose vineyard at Cranbrook, now known as Elmsroe, and it is a little ripper for summer drinking, varietal correct and very food friendly. It has a real freshness and lightness about it. Good work from consultant winemaker Jacqui Dolan from Milton. We paired this with vegetarian dumplings from a Vietnamese takeaway - and that combo worked a treat. A label worth keeping an eye on. $33. https://roosterandrobin.com.au/
