• P. B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Shiraz 2022

    $13.60

    There 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.

  • Glug ‘Sunday Drive’ Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023

    $14.60

    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

    Original price was: $22.50.Current price is: $11.00.

    The 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

    Original price was: $22.50.Current price is: $12.00.

    This 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

    Original price was: $15.60.Current price is: $10.00.

    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.

  • P.B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Riesling 2023

    $11.60

    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.

  • Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Primitivo 2023

    $13.70

    The 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

    $13.70

    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.

  • Fareham Estate Clare Valley Shiraz 2022

    $15.40

    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.

  • Glug ‘Bethany Road’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

    Original price was: $14.20.Current price is: $9.00.

    Barossa Cabernet is different to those from cooler districts being warmer and riper on the palate and this ‘one off’ is very much in the Glug style.

  • Goat Square Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

    Original price was: $15.80.Current price is: $11.00.

    This style of wine is what we wished to make when coming to the Barossa. This is achieved by using simple wine making methods, summed up as pick, ferment in small open fermenters, settle and age in old, oak puncheons.

  • Goat Square Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2023

    Original price was: $15.80.Current price is: $9.00.

    The best way to sample the taste of Grenache and Mataro is with a GSM blend. Glug have been supporters of this style since our beginning and customers are steadily moving from curiosity to regular enjoyment.

  • Crayford Barossa Valley Carignan 2021

    $15.00

    Carignan requires heat to ripen being suited to the warm climate regions of Australia and a natural for the Barossa Valley. If you enjoy Barossa Valley Grenache which we champion this Carignan is for you.

  • 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.

  • Crayford Barossa Valley Shiraz Durif 2022

    Original price was: $14.80.Current price is: $9.00.

    What varieties can be used to make wines that create a taste that carries the global badge ‘made in Australia’. Shiraz for sure as it takes on another dimension in our warm regions. Of the many hundreds of other varieties it is work in motion though a Glug favourite for stardom is Durif.

  • Crayford Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2023

    Original price was: $14.80.Current price is: $10.00.

    Shiraz forms the stable known base. Grenache has alcoholic strength but less palate taste and brings to the blend beguiling aromas and a different palate impression to Shiraz. Yet what are these two without Mataro which maintains order by rearranging both and providing a strength of character particularly on the back palate. Still the genius of this wine remains the Grenache.

  • ‘The Regions’ Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

    $14.80

    One our best ever purchases came late last year which I termed ‘the five star winery haul’ and that is the source of this beautiful Clare Valley Cabernet-a five star winery. As for the source, well our lips are sealed.

  • Karrawirra Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2021

    $16.50

    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.
