Waitohi Springs Marlborough New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2022
$12.50We were in two minds about this Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The wine passes our taste tests yet was already in bottle. The wine is true to style and because the flavours of Marlborough and New Zealand have such distinctive characters we badly needed an example for our customers since it is the biggest selling wine style in Australia. We did our best. You will love the wine but value wise it just sneaks in.

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 Green Patch Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$13.80To describe the setting for this Cabernet we must return to the debate of the role of climate-weather in the development of wine flavours and from this whether cool climate wines are better than warm climate wines.
-
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 Eden Valley Chardonnay 2021
$8.20The Eden Valley is an extension of the Adelaide Hills to the east and is generally lower and drier. I would call it an upland dry plateau. The valley part of Eden Valley comes from the main drainage stream the North Para River which flows North and then turns west and flows down the Barossa Valley.

The Green Patch Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
$14.80Barossa Shiraz has a density of flavour like no other and quality examples produce an impression of sweetness on the mid palate.
-
Brutus Barossa Valley Shiraz Durif 2018
$29.90Now and again our love of Barossa Shiraz combines with the perfect vintage for Durif. The wines sit in barrel, and at some point, the mellowness of both brings out their best. Enough for one barrel so we bottled 33 cases. A big wine and while I do not want customers worrying about alcohol levels you cannot make such a wine unless it is well over 15%. Durif is a Barossa winner.
-
Fareham Estate Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$15.40Late last year we purchased a collection of Shiraz and Cabernet of exquisite quality from a ‘five star’ winery, this rating being awarded by a noted wine writer. I can say no more as part of any purchase means we are forbidden to use the maker’s name.
-
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.
-
Auld & Burton Clare & Barossa Valley Cabernet Merlot 2017
$10.20At 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.

BVWS Barossa Valley Wine Supply Industrial Strength Barossa Valley Shiraz Durif 2018
$22.60This Industrial Strength is 15.4% alc/vol. The Italians make a variety of wine called Amarone which is made after the grapes have been partially dehydrated on racks to lower the water level. This Industrial Strength is not made that way as we simply isolated a patch of grapes to make this natural ripe style, fermented dry I quickly add, and what is created is deep in colour and packed with flavour.
