Gemini season is all about movement and complexity. Think lots going on, many spinning plates, and fingers in perpetual pies. This means agile wines made for activity; steely minerality and racy acidity. Expressive drops where you can taste the transience across the palate. Light, bright and mentally stimulating. 

This is the time for trying new things. Gemini firmly believes variety is the spice of life, so wine-wise this energy is preferentially promiscuous. Given this is the season we all get to dip our toe in the Mercurial pool, it’s time to change it up. 

German Pinot sounds a little different, and this one is expressive and complex. Single vineyard fruit grown in the volcanic soils of the Black Forest. Intense aromas — blackberry and perfume noir. Punchy berries give way to intriging hints of amaro and mineral notes. A journey in a glass.

Jupiter is the cosmic giver. Think of her as that aunt who showers you with gifts and generosity. During her year long residence, Jupiter lends her expansiveness to Cancerian themes: home, family, emotional bonds, and inner security. Starting June 9th, prepare for a year that invites prosperity in the areas closest to your heart.

Abundant times call for a generous wine. This Greco di Tufo is full and textural; flooded with fruit. White nectarine, dried apricot and wet stones. Velvety, melty and moreish. Mineral characters, balanced acidity and enviable length. It’s the gift of Greco di Tufo that keeps on giving (like Jupiter).

The Full Moon in Sagittarius arrives as a welcome change of pace after last month’s emotionally heavy Scorpio moon. This one feels lighter, more energizing. It’s about looking ahead, thinking bigger, and reconnecting with possibility. Where Scorpio asked us to dig deep, Sagittarius encourages us to zoom out. 

Sagittarius is about perspective, adventure, and purpose. This Full Moon invites you to reconnect with what excites you—whether that’s travel, learning something new, revisiting long-term goals, or simply allowing yourself to feel hopeful again. 

To get those juices flowing, we have a spicy red. Fruit-forward and playful. This Montepulciano is a generous little drop, full of energy and bright, bouncy berries. Wild cherry, strawberry and cranberry dance across the palate, followed by a hint of Italian cola and cinnamon spice. Soft tannins make it easy-drinking and super approachable. 

The Cancer New Moon brings a quiet emotional reset, inviting you to slow down and tune into what you truly need. It’s a moment to focus on gaining emotional clarity, creating or deepening your sense of home, and nurturing yourself through rest and honest connection. Use this time to release old emotional weight and begin a gentler chapter centered on care, comfort, and truth.

For this nostalgic mood, a weightier wine. This soothing Syrah has the tannic structure (read scaffolding) to support any deep, emotive restorations you may be undergoing. 

As a drop it’s deep and dramatic - with warm, heady aromas to envelop you. Rich flavours of sweet mulberry, black cherry, blueberry, smoky liquorice and dark chocolate. For reflective moments, this wine is resolute. Embracing you like a hug.
