A new Fin chapter built around sunshine, texture + nostalgia in a glass.
Memory Lane is our first crack at Roussanne — fruit from the beautiful Box Grove Vineyard in Nagambie, handled with patience, detail and just the right amount of Fin mischief.
90% was straight-pressed for purity,
10% spent two weeks on skins for grip, perfume + complexity,
then the whole lot rested 18 months in old oak for calm, weight + quiet depth.
Lovingly named after the Eddy Current Suppression Ring track — one of JonJo’s go-to songs for hooning around the vineyard on the tractor — this wine carries the same energy: warm, honest, slightly wild, and impossible not to replay.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of white nectarine, pear skin + lemon oil rise first, followed by soft honeysuckle, chamomile + almond meal from its long, peaceful time in oak.
On the palate: stonefruit, preserved lemon + gentle herbal lift, wrapped in a silky, waxy texture with a flicker of saline minerality.
Freshness up front, creaminess through the middle, and a clean, lasting finish that makes the next pour inevitable.
Serve cold but not icy — it opens up beautifully with a little warmth.
Food Pairings
Memory Lane sings with food that’s bright, sun-loving + textural:
-
Fresh crab or prawn rolls
-
Roast chicken with lemon + herbs
-
Grilled peaches with burrata
-
Pasta with brown butter + sage
-
Charred zucchini, fennel + ricotta salata
-
Soft cheeses (taleggio, triple cream, washed rind wonders)
Basically: anything you’d eat outside while the soundtrack’s on and the day stretches long.
