‘The Regions’ Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$14.80$11.10One 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 ‘Sunday Drive’ Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023
$14.60$10.95Adelaide Hills vineyards are small and variable. A bit of good ground here and a further tiny parcel over the hill crest. Pocket handkerchief vineyards. Less common is exposure to the summer heat which ripens Shiraz and this ‘Sunday Drive’ we found irresistible and so purchased from a small garagiste maker. Cool climate though in the style of Eden Valley.
-
Glug ‘The Long Shot’ Barossa Valley Primitivo Shiraz 2023
$13.70$10.28This is a red you will enjoy being a blend of the Italian variety Primitivo with our local favourite Shiraz. Shiraz is the outstanding variety for Australia and rises to heights that eclipse any other Global region. The blend with Primitive works as this variety also responds to our local summer heat. A pleasing addition to the Glug portfolio.
-
Vine to Glass Barossa Valley Grenache 2023
$14.70$11.03Grenache has been promoted by Glug since our start, part of our mission, and samples now being offered to us have moved from curios to wines rivalling the best made anywhere around the Globe.
-
Glug ‘Broken Slate’ Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$14.70$11.03Combine this with the elevation of the Clare wine district and add in weather that brings the heat of the inland south, and you have a mix of elements ripening the grapes that creates unusual and magnificent flavours. In this way the Cabernet has a minty Clare twist to the flavour and a depth of colour like no other Cabernet region.
-
The Regions Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$13.80$10.35The reason there are so many Glug brands is because we prefer to bottle each wine to preserve the difference, however tiny. Overriding all of the small differences is the flavour of the Barossa Valley and the Glug style which favours full flavours. Expect from us a red over 14% alcohol as we are not excited by the flavours of low alcohol reds.

Trial Bin 093 Barossa Cabernet Merlot Cabernet Franc M.V.
$10.40$7.80Great wines have been produced since the red wine trials of the 1950s by Max Schubert showed us the way. These evolved into Penfolds Range and the sweeping range of Bin numbers of today. This Trial Bin 093 helps us understand the blending of Barossa Valley with Eden Valley wines.
-
Glug ‘Bethany Road’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$14.20$10.65Barossa Cabernet is different to those from cooler districts being warmer and riper on the palate and this ‘one off’ is very much in the Glug style.

The Green Patch Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$13.80$10.35Boutiques now make more wine than they can sell at the high prices they charge. Indeed 50% of the current oversupply is called ‘premium’ for the first time ever. Glug hunts through this surplus to find wines we bottle as ‘One Offs’ like this Green Patch. Now you see them, then they are gone.
-
Glug Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$19.30$14.48The best vintage from the Barossa we have in stock is the 2021. While Barossa wines taste good every vintage the climate-weather smiles once or twice each decade, and the wines rise another notch.
-

Durif from the Riverine town of Griffith is exceptional and with our experience with Rutherglen Durif we knew it would blend well with Barossa Shiraz. The ABV is 15%. Shiraz with Durif is a Wonder.
-
Glug ‘Sandcastle’ Barossa Valley Grenache 2024
$13.80$10.35Not long-ago Barossa Grenache had no following so it is pleasing that advanced drinkers now realise the wonder of the Barossa expands far beyond Shiraz. Varieties such as Grenache and Mataro were included in large blends from the 1950s yet this was seldom mentioned on the label.
