Karrawirra Single Vineyard ‘Shea-Oak’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$26.00Because we sell direct, plus offer wines under dozens of brands we do not have the constraints of larger companies. And importantly our ethos is different to a tiny winery offering a few reds and whites.
From this thinking Glug began bottling the best wines as Karrawirra Single Vineyards and others like Goat Square Ziegnmarkt, Brutus and Harem Sultan. Quantities bottled are under 40 cases of each. This Karrawirra She Oak is our best Cabernet from 2019.

Glug ‘Broken Slate’ Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$14.70Combine 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.

Goat Square ‘Ziegenmarkt’ Reserve Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$18.50As the Australian palate has matured so the interest has grown for the warmer, fuller richer styles of Cabernet.
-
Goat Square ‘Ziegenmarkt’ Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$18.50The 2021 is exceptional being from the 10/10 vintage 2021. This makes it the eighth release of Ziegenmarkt.
The reasons why the Barossa is associated with rich flavours is complex though is due to the geography, the inland summer heat and cooling air from the west. We now know enough to say that no other place on earth duplicates these conditions. Shiraz takes on a concentrated, heady flavour, with a luxurious mid-palate sensation of fruit sweetness.

Crayford Barossa Valley Grenache 2023
$14.80The 2023 vintage intrigued us as early on we noted the amazing fruit aromas. Best drink young was one thought and for this Grenache that remains my advice as I find it extraordinary. Treat this like a big, sappy young red. Just gorgeous.

PB. Burgoyne Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Original price was: $11.80.$9.00Current price is: $9.00.Cabernet grapes from warmer regions like the Barossa Valley and Clare Valley make exceptional wines though both districts have been sidelined by the rise of Cabernet wines from the cooler Yarra Valley and Margaret River. This Cabernet was bottled by Glug and you can approach it with confidence.
-
Karrawirra Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$16.50The Barossa Valley has a long history with Cabernet though it’s not rated as highly as the Shiraz which is wrong. We made just under 100 cases.
-
Auld & Burton Barossa Valley Mataro 2017
$11.80Handmade wines of this quality is what decent wine merchants discover for customers.
-
Glug Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Mataro N.V.
$12.80I preach younger is better and in this case this is balanced by the wine being recently bottled and freshened with 2022 just before bottling. I see the role of this wine as being for the many occasions where a drink is required but not worthy of opening one of the best bottles.
-
Auld & Burton Barossa Valley Merlot 2017
$11.80Merlot is like a perfumed and plumper version of Cabernet. Add the Barossa origin and it is richer again.
-
Vine to Glass Barossa Valley Grenache 2023
$14.70Grenache 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.

Oakley Adams McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020
$12.60McLaren Vale is a sea-side location as it fronts St Vincent Gulf.
-
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.
-
The Regions Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$13.80The 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.
-
Glug ‘The Long Shot’ Barossa Valley Primitivo Shiraz 2023
Original price was: $13.70.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.This 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.
-
P. B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Shiraz 2022
$13.60There are some fabulous vineyard clusters and those developed by the Henschke family at Keyneton illustrate the wine quality that can be achieved. The origin of the Burgoyne Shiraz is from the low Eden Valley where the reds are plumper than the far cooler high Eden. Still the low parts of the Eden Valley are one hundred or more metres higher than the Barossa Valley so expect a Shiraz that highlights different flavour aspects.
-
Auld & Burton Clare & Barossa Valley Cabernet Merlot 2017
$12.20At Glug, wines come and go quickly. Here we have used two varieties from two regions in various proportions. I find more Clare in the final blend than Barossa so look for a touch less heat and higher altitude flavours. Finally explaining the Clare flavours continues to defy me.
-
Glug ‘The Escapee’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Original price was: $14.60.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.In a district like the Barossa Valley the long summer never ends and grapes can be left hanging well into April or May and you can watch the berries shrivel in the heat. Vintage 2021 was favourable for the development of flavours and is as close to 10/10 as is possible. The grapes for this Glug Cabernet were harvested for full ripeness in the Glug style. We prefer drinking wines when younger though this wine will hand around in a good cellar for a long time.
-
Cellar Range Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Original price was: $14.50.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.Back in October we were given our choice of barrels of Clare Valley reds from a five-star rated winery. While they retained the very best to be able to select what we wanted from the rest we knew was a rare honour.
