Farmers & Growers ‘The Ploughman’ South Australia Shiraz Grenache 2022
$8.70Can you make good wine that does not cost so much? Yes you can and when we began Glug we wanted a range of ‘quaffing dry reds’ or QDR’s as they are called that were of superior quality.
-
Stockwell Creek Basket Pressed Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$22.50Irrespective of vintage the Barossa Valley has a reputation for full flavoured wines the result of the latitude, elevation and the way warmth is trapped. With Shiraz the results are often astonishing, and a richness with mid-palate weight is achieved that exceeds all other comparable regions. Vintage 2021 is close to 10/10.
-
Hopcroft & Cornock McLaren Vale Rosé 2024
$13.80This is the first McLaren Vale Rosé we have stocked, a wine style that Glug enjoys when made from warm climate regions. Rosés made from the varieties Grenache and Mataro which fruit well in warm climates are our favourites.
-
Glug ‘Sunday Drive’ Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023
$14.60Adelaide 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.
-
Stockwell Creek Basket Pressed Barossa Valley Grenache 2023
$22.50The Barossa Valley may well be the finest place to grow Grenache and Glug have been supporters since 2004.The best we make can be found in our Stockwell Creek range.
-
Stockwell Creek Basket Pressed Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2023
$22.50This is a natural blend for the Barossa and moving the percentage of Shiraz helps to display the merits of Grenache and Mataro. The Stockwell Creek range of wines represent those Barossa reds which we believe express a little further the best of Barossa.

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.

P.B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Pinot Gris 2023
$11.60Pinot Gris is perfect for the coolish Eden Valley.
This P.B. Bourgoyne was sourced from a boutique we have been buying surplus from for about seven years.
-
P.B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Riesling 2023
$11.60Eden 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.
-
Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Primitivo 2023
$13.70The climate of the Barossa Valley creates full flavoured wines that charge across the palate. In addition, they show complexity, and it is this combination that has fascinated consumers and winemakers for so long. These flavours play out in the traditional varieties Shiraz, Cabernet, Grenache and Mataro.
There are other varieties planted, though all in small lots, that have been trialled for several decades and these include, Carignan, Durif, the many Portuguese port varieties, Primitivo or Zinfandel and many others. These interest Glug as we see our role as introducing new styles and unfamiliar varieties to our customers-to keep up their wine interest.

Glug ‘The Long Shot’ Barossa Valley Primitivo Shiraz 2023
$13.70This 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.

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
Original price was: $12.80.$9.80Current price is: $9.80.The 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
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.
-
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 M.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.
