Overview
You put up the money. You helped stomp the grapes. Now, the people-powered winemakers at Noisy Ritual are inviting you back to put a cork in 2015 — literally. After getting off the ground earlier in the year with crowdfunding support from a group of wine-loving locals, the Brunswick-based urban winery has produced six batches of homemade vino which they're now about to bottle. So naturally, they're using it as an excuse to throw a party.
Cracking open their barrels on the evening of Saturday, November 21 in a Brunswick East warehouse space, the Noisy Ritual Bottling Party will be your very first chance to try their 2015 vintage – straight from the bottle you helped pour it into. In addition to the wine, there'll be food by Forge Woodfired Pizza and music from Broadway Sounds, Pink Tiles and a number of local DJs. We'll drink to that.
Tickets to the Noisy Ritual 2015 Bottling Party are $10 on the door, and bottles will be available to purchase on the night. But if you want to secure a half dozen straight up, we're giving one reader the chance to win six bottles of Noisy Ritual 2015 vintage. Plus, you'll also get two tickets to the Bottling Party on Saturday, November 21 — so you can head along and pick up your booze in person. To be in the running, subscribe to the Concrete Playground newsletter (if you haven’t already), then email win.melbourne@concreteplayground.com.au with your name, phone number and address.
