On Sunday May 21st, Bar Romantica will be playing host to MOTHEROCK, the launch of a range of innovative and sculptural wine decanters designed by Canadian-born artist Claire Ellis in collaboration with award winning Melbourne Sommelier, Dom Robinson.

Each decanter is slip cast using ceramic sink sludge and glazed in a range of experimental glazes developed using only Victorian rock industry by-products, restaurant and studio 'waste'. Each glaze highlights the individual qualities of local slate, basalt and granite, which are each naturally very close in chemistry to ceramic glazes.

"At its most special, wine is the pure expression of place, and for us that means the expression of soils. The detail and nuance in great wine is thanks to its geology. To celebrate the launch of MOTHEROCK decanters, we have put together a collection of wines that highlight soil types rather than variety or style. Come and try some of our favourite wines grown on basalt, granite & slate. Get ready to taste some rocks!"

Bar Romantica will be serving an a la carte menu to accompany the selection of wines available on the night. The menu will include a selection of snacks, pasta, pizzetta & dessert. Please make note of any dietary requirements upon booking.
