Jackman No.13 Dry Red Cabernet Merlot Shiraz NV
$6.00This wine was a blend of reds, made up of many varieties mostly Shiraz and Cabernet, from four districts sourced from along the Adelaidean Mount Lofty Range and from three vintages. It came from a high quality, medium sized, Barossa Valley winery.
-
‘The Regions’ Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$14.50We all have palate memories being the odd bottles which were ‘stand outs’. Many will coincide with an abnormally favourable vintage. The great Barossa red moment is with the 1996s. Still youthful even today. Just maybe the 2021 vintage will duplicate this. Even if it does not this vintage is the best for you now.
-
Terrene Estates South Australia Cabernet Merlot 2017
$10.60We recently found an astonishing collection of reds in a five-star winery in the Clare Valley and knowing we would not see its like again purchased more than usual.
-
Terrene Estates South Australia Rosé 2022
$10.90As I preach it is what is in the glass that counts and the 2022 vintage is a fabulous buy. This vintage is labelled as Terrene a medieval English term which is a bit like the French term terroir. As for the wine, well it tastes good and is a result of blending several regions so we decided to call it South Australia.
-
‘The Regions’ Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$14.80One our best ever purchases came late last year which I termed ‘the five star winery haul’ and that is the source of this beautiful Clare Valley Cabernet-a five star winery. As for the source, well our lips are sealed.
-
Glug GH73 WIBS Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$13.80The way to discover the real Barossa taste, as experienced by winemakers, is with single barrel bottlings.
-
Cellar Range Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$15.20We cannot reveal the source since the reason wines like this are offered is because the grower-maker wants anonymity. They want no conflict with their brand which as in all cases they offer the same wine at far higher prices.
-
Terrene Estates Limestone Coast Shiraz 2021
$11.50Terrene is a medieval English term that is suggestive of the French term terroir, for origin. Glug is attracted to wines that meet our quality terms yet are from unknown districts since we can buy them at lower prices. So expect high quality at a fair price.
-
Glug ‘The Bright Spark’ Barossa Valley Mataro 2021
$13.80The Barossa Valley climate is ideal for producing good crops of grapes that reach exceptional sugar levels and have plenty of colour. Historically these were used to produced fortified wines of high quality, particularly port. The three favoured varieties were Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro. I refer to these as the Barossa heritage varieties and many vines of great age survive.
-
Limited Release Batch 32C Clare Valley Shiraz 2022
$15.50Glug moves to where the bargains can be discovered and you will quickly appreciate our enthusiasm for this Clare Valley Shiraz. And note we are believers that younger, and fresher is better.
-
Glug ‘The Back Block’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$14.20This Cabernet is not like that from say the Yarra Valley. You will detect a varietal resemblance and then the warmth of the Barossa takes over and being the Barossa there is more body weight on the palate.
-
Glug ‘Primis’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$13.80It is the Glug view that the delights of warm climate Cabernet have not been recognised an we continue our mission to alter this perception. The Glug Primis is a ‘once off’ bottling of wine purchased from a local boutique. It offers Glug customer excellent value. Big red at 14.9% alcohol.
-
Glug Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro N.V.
$12.80Mataro has been the backbone of many Barossa Shiraz for decades because it blends well with Shiraz.
-
Square Mile Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$14.50Offers of this style and quality are currently increasing and provide very good drinking for our customers.
-
Limited Release Batch 14G Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$14.60This Glug Batch 14G Barossa Cabernet is the best of many we have been offered. You can purchase with confidence – let us do the worrying. The alcohol at 14.4% is about right. Glug likes Barossa Cabernet at around 14.5%.
-
The Green Patch Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2022
$13.80The Glug Green Patch is a blend of wines purchased from local boutique grower makers – the number of which have considerably expanded in the last decades – with surplus stock now making its way into the market.
-
Glug GH46 Winemakers Individual Barrel Selection Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$13.80Flavours will be riper and fuller and discover a Cabernet of complex tastes.
-
Vine to Glass McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020
$14.30What a beautiful Shiraz, full, rich but firm and shows no sign of excess. This gem fell our way late last year and is now in bottle, being part of the steady build-up of high-quality boutique wines which we are nibbling at. Drink this with a similar Barossa and enjoy the differences. Alcohol at 15.4% shows the style.
-
Trial Bin 092 Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro Cabernet Durif NV
$10.50We promote drink what is in the glass. If it tastes good, and the price is OK then why worry about the variety or if a blend of vintages makes it non-vintage. Also why worry if it is a blend of wines from many regions. This wine though is 100% Barossa Valley.
-
‘The Regions’ McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020
$14.50Tasting McLaren Vale wines with those of the Barossa Valley is a fascinating experience as the chill of the Ocean plays with the summer heat of the ripening period to different degrees. Both districts should be a regular part of your drinking and the subtlety is to see the difference and not say one district is better than the other.
