Roxton McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021
$14.60Ninety 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.
-
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.
-
Roxton McLaren Vale Grenache Rosé 2024
$14.60Rosé made from the warm climate varieties, Grenache, Mataro and blends of the two is sensational. We have steadily built our Barossa Valley range and recently a bulk purchase from McLaren Vale creates the first under the famous old Roxton label.

$22.50This Stockwell Creek is a slice of our best Cabernet batches from a vintage that Glug ranks as 10/10. Barossa Cabernets can age well and if you have a cool spot, it will be worth placing a case aside.
-
Landaus Vintners ‘The Diviner’ South Australia Shiraz Grenache 2022
$8.80I rate this Diviner as the best we have made and that is because of the base we discovered last year. Also supplies of warm climate Grenache have improved allowing us to spread this resource into wines like the Diviner.

Glug ‘Sunday Drive’ Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023
Original price was: $14.60.$9.00Current price is: $9.00.Adelaide 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.

-
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
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.
-
Glug Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$19.30The best vintage from the Barossa we have in stock is the 2021. While Barossa wines taste good every vintage the climate-weather smiles once or twice each decade, and the wines rise another notch.
-
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
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.
-
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.
