About Dilettante Wines
Clare native Marnie Roberts has a keen interest in emerging and alternative varietals. Offered a parcel of Sangiovese, it didn’t fit into her main label Matriarch and Rogue but was too good to pass up, hence a side project was born.
This #cheekysangioproject (working title) evolved into Dilettante, from the Italian Dilettare: “To delight and to entertain.”
Felixir is a Melbourne based wine importer, wholesaler and agent. Drawing on 15 years in fine wine retail, founder Felix Riley was convinced of the increasing popularity of dry rosé and established Felixir in 2013 to focus on finding great examples of the style.
Selections are rounded out with interesting, personality driven reds and whites from Southern France and beyond, supported by a clutch of high quality small Australian, Italian, Slovenian and New Zealand producers. A common factor is delicious wines of interest, representing excellent value whatever their price point, reflecting the places and personalities behind them.
