A couple of clicks back from the main drag, Pennyweight has been a byword for excellence in the apera-drinking community of Victoria for over four decades. The cellar door is dreamy: a country hideaway hemmed in by towering gums open 362 days a year for tastings and grazing platters. Their Constance Fino is seen on drinks lists right throughout Victoria – the mark of a sommelier that knows their juice – but you’d be mad to leave without a bottle of their Rutherglen Muscat, said to “slip down the gullet like the devil in velvet trousers”.
