• Farmer’s Mystery Mixed Dozen

    Original price was: $160.00.Current price is: $98.00.

    Glug bottles a staggering array of different wines in any year. With the wind down under way there are now 55 wines listed with stock levels less than 10 cases. These are being boxed as Farmers Weekender Mystery Dozen. The packaging starts from one bottle left and proceeds to the next which was 4 bottles left etc. So each box shares some wines but not all. Our calculations show that on average the full price, bottle by bottle, is about $160 for the 12. The price is $98.

  • Oakley Adams Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023

    Original price was: $12.50.Current price is: $9.00.

    There is a central spine of higher ground that runs down Adelaidean Mount Lofty Range and vineyards are planted up to 600 metres. The wines from these vineyards have cool climate flavours because of the altitude. This region east of Adelaide is termed the Adelaide Hills and is the source of this Shiraz. It comes though from lower elevations so tastes like a cool climate Barossan or a wine from Eden Valley.

  • Bengalee Barossa Valley Grenache 2024

    Original price was: $16.50.Current price is: $10.00.

    We seek to bring out the serious side of Grenache, a substantial full flavoured expression such as we seek with our Shiraz.

  • Rara Avis Barossa Valley Grenache 2024

    $35.90

    For this Rara Avis we are talking about the big style so it needs the long lunch or a grand evening dinner.

  • Barbarossa Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Durif Mataro 2022

    Original price was: $15.80.Current price is: $10.00.

    NMD is short for ‘no more details’ and is the game we played with the early releases of the Barbarossa. The name Barbarossa and knowledge that it was 100% Barossa Valley was all customers were told. A real guessing game.

  • Bengalee Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

    Original price was: $16.50.Current price is: $10.00.

    The Bengalee left Hamburg with German settlers on 10th July 1838 and arrived in Adelaide on the 19th November, 1838. It is likely a few of these arrivals later found their way to the Barossa Valley becoming part of the fabulous Barossa wine story. We picked up that story in 2008 when we released our first Bengalee Shiraz.

  • Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Mataro 2021

    Original price was: $14.50.Current price is: $10.00.

    Mataro loves a climate like the Barossa Valley and customers will enjoy the length and strength of the resulting flavours.

  • Glug ‘Sandcastle’ Barossa Valley Grenache 2024

    Original price was: $13.80.Current price is: $10.00.

    Not 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.

  • Rara Avis Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

    $35.90

    The rare and wonderful comes from the Barossa Valley. Within the best Shiraz, Mataro and Grenache those with a top palate can identify wines that have an edge over all the others. This Rara Avis, the fifth we have made since 2004, is our best Shiraz from 2022. Will keep for a long time though even the best we prefer to see consumed at a younger age.

  • Dolans, Sobels & Hope ‘Squatters Three’ Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

    Original price was: $13.80.Current price is: $10.00.

    This Cabernet is part of the five star red haul that we purchased over 2024. The Cabernet is made in the manner of the Leasingham Bin 56 of the 1970s-1980s.

  • Roxton McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

    Original price was: $14.60.Current price is: $10.00.

    Ninety minutes of pleasant driving across the Adelaide Hills links McLaren Vale with the Barossa Valley, the two most important districts within the Adelaidean Mount Lofty range. This Roxton is a fine example of the McLaren Vale style and a nice foil to our Karrawirra Barossa reds.

  • Fareham Estates Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

    Original price was: $15.60.Current price is: $8.00.

    A 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.

  • Fareham Estate Clare Valley Shiraz 2022

    Original price was: $15.40.Current price is: $8.00.

    There 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.

  • Bagot Station Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2023

    Original price was: $13.40.Current price is: $9.00.

    Drink this vintage sooner not later as the extraordinary aroma is its great joy.

  • Bagot Station Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023

    $13.40

    Young reds from the right vintages without hard extract are magnificent. This Bagot reminds me of those deeply coloured and powerful Moulin a Vent-Beaujolais, I imported in the 1970s. Deep in colour, one glass led to another, as did the bottles. How can wine be so pleasant. This vintage produced wines with a pronounced aroma and the winemaker has highlighted this with a light touch in the winery-such as no pressings added back. A must buy though will not evolve into a Karrawirra.

  • Karrawirra Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2021

    Original price was: $16.50.Current price is: $11.00.

    What a beautiful wine, the result of perfect vintage, the 14th for KarrawirraKarrawirra is a traditional Glug brand so expect a traditional interpretation of a Barossa red.

  • Cellar Range Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

    $14.50

    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.

  • Farmers Museum Selection Fine Old Barossa Valley Tawny 750mL

    Original price was: $55.00.Current price is: $30.00.

    Great vintages happen when everything goes just right such as a long even ripening without stress on the vine and thus the bunches of grapes. The excitement grows that 2021 will be one of the classics and I have my finger crossed that it may equal the 1996.
