Fareham Estates Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$15.60A big rich, juicy Cabernet, minty, intense flavours, being part of the ‘five star red haul’ we stumbled across in mid-2024. Five stars being the winery rating of the wine writer James Halliday. Halliday published ‘Clare Valley-the history the vignerons and the wines’, in 1985. He devotes a section to Fareham Estate which was founded in 1966.

Original price was: $11.60.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.Pinot Gris is perfect for the coolish Eden Valley.

P.B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Riesling 2023
Original price was: $11.60.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.Eden Valley is considered a cool climate district. Cool climate districts though are not all the same since coolness can come from elevation or latitude or a combination.
Further variations are created by the closeness to the ocean, being a source of cool air, and rainfall as humidity seems to play a role in creating the taste.

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.

Auld & Burton Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro 2014
$12.80The oldest Mataro vines date back to around 1892 though it was a popular variety in previous eras as a productive, non-irrigated bush vine this before the arrival of trellised vine rows and drip irrigation. We do know that the early makers of Barossa Valley Shiraz added 10-15% of Mataro to many blends as they found this added strength and character to the wine. So Mataro was the variety which was never on the label yet was always in red wine.
-
Stonevale Wines ‘Red Barn’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$13.60We find beauty in all the differences each vineyard and wine maker creates and prefer to offer customers dozens of expressions. Each small difference we reason keeps your drinking interesting.
-
Glug ‘The Escapee’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$14.60In 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.
-
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.
-
Terrene Estates Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro Grenache N.V.
$12.60Just delicious and why weren’t wines of this type a regular part of our drinking decades ago. Why were they not made? The three varieties that thrive together in the Australian warm climate districts are Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro and they have been around since the start.
-
Stonevale Wines Red Barn Barossa Valley Cabernet Malbec 2020
$13.60For this Stonevale the Malbec has transformed the Cabernet into something special. Malbec has a tasty, sappy-fruity, menthol character so how much to add must be carefully measured. Malbec is very popular in Argentine and the best of them from Mendoza, the wine capital, fetch high prices. It is time for a Malbec revival.
-
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.
-
PB. Burgoyne Riverland Shiraz 2022
$9.50Great wines can be made from our inland regions, and they have been. Both Mildara and the Berri-Renmano Coop in the 1970s released many superlative wines. Some of the greatest bargains today are made in the Griffith area. Yet you will never know about them due to the prejudice now built into the reporting and judging of wines. Yes, you have been brainwashed. This Burgoyne is another in our program to make tasty QDR’s short for quaffing dry reds.

Farmers & Growers ‘The Ploughman’ South Australia Shiraz Mataro 2022
$8.20All drinkers have a need for that small batch, inexpensive wine for occasions when the cellar of premiums should not be raided. Plenty of times we like to have a glass in hand when doing busy jobs and simply do not have a moment to reflect on the wine. This is the time to open a Quaffing Dry Red (QDR).
-
Landaus Vintners ‘Blockies’ South Australia Shiraz Mataro 2022
$8.80Since the first wine in 2007, the finishing touch to Blockies has come from the use of high-quality Mataro. We believe Mataro is the best all-purpose variety to use when adjusting the wine flavours of warm climate reds. Incidentally Mataro has no role of course in making cool climate reds. Thus, the back palate lift comes from the addition of about 15%, high quality Barossa Valley Mataro. The result is as good as the first we made in 2007.
-
Glug ‘Rusty Shed’ Clare Valley Shiraz 2022
Original price was: $14.80.$10.70Current price is: $10.70.There is a wonderful ‘lookout’ in the Clare Valley at the end of Spring Gully Road. Looking west into the far haze is the top end of the Gulf country and then you can imagine the Nullarbor Plain continuing on forever.
-
Fareham Estate Clare Valley Shiraz 2022
$15.40There is something about the geography of the Clare Valley and how this reacts with the climate that finds its way into the Shiraz and Cabernet. They bring to the glass an additional and unusual fragrance, a minty delicacy, which is quite thrilling.
