Food & Drink
25 Jan 2023
As Australia's wine scene has expanded in diversity and scope, our drinking tastes have increased in complexity. More often are we seeking unconventional sips and experimental options. We hunt for vino from small-batch makers and growers that employ regenerative farming practices. Funky is no longer a frightening word, neither is natural (or sediment, for that matter). We crave a closer connection to the wine we drink, most often through hearing the stories behind each label. While it's not always feasible to visit a winemaker in person, places like Adela Wine Bar in Albion not only make it easier to source curious wines, but also learn a bit more about them. The cosy wine bar is open now, with a 150-strong selection of bottles from an assortment of makers available alongside Euro-inspired food made with fine-dining flair. more
