Hannah Wagner’s follow-up to Dark Red is Dark Blue, a moody 30-seater inside a heritage-listed site in Winn Lane.

While Dark Red has built a loyal following for its selection of Italian wines, Dark Blue highlight drops from Spain, Portugal and South America. There might be a saké-lees-fermented sauvignon blanc from Chile, a Portuguese vinho verde and a Spanish red made from moristel.

On the cocktail list: the Fig Deal (pisco, fig, rosemary, white chocolate, reduced malbec syrup, lemon and clarified milk); the Med Martini (olive leaf gin, lemon, dry vermouth, capers, brine and dill); and the Pastelli (rum, apricot, sesame, honey and bitters).

There’s also a small snack selection of tinned sardines and squid, pork terrine, duck and cherry pate, and Spanish crisps from Superbon and Flamencas.
