New restaurant opens at Shadow Play by Peppers at Southbank

The newly opened Shadow Play by Peppers at Southbank is showcasing exclusive Victorian cuisine with the launch of Edwin Wine Bar & Cellar.

The venue’s menus are designed around food and wine made in the region, creating “an extraordinary dining experience that celebrates the diversity of Victoria and Victorians,” according to Shadow Play by Peppers GM Alistair Munro.

“Our menu is not just curated from the inspiration of Victoria’s best wine and produce. Its philosophy is based on gender equity and fostering a relationship with local producers,” he said.

Resident sommelier Yu Kurosawa is one of the growing number of female sommeliers in Australia, and says that every wine on the menu at Edwin Wine Bar & Cellar has a story.

“Our menu features wine from each of Victoria’s 21 wine regions with an almost equal gender balance between male and female winemakers,” she said.

“We hang our hat on the fact our wine list has been curated to be filled with Victorian wines, including some of Australia’s most well-known and sought-after wine labels such as Crawford River, Bindi, Yarra Yering and Sorrenberg just to name a few.

“In fact, our entire drinks menu is locally sourced including water and soft drinks from Daylesford, orange juice from Caulfield and soda and mixers from Kyneton.”

The venue is also encouraging guests to discover the stories behind its wine list with its monthly wine program, created by internationally acclaimed sommelier and wine educator Dan Sims.

Each month, Edwin Wine Bar & Cellar also aims to focus on a different Victorian wine region, with evening events presented by the winemakers themselves.
