Landaus Vintners ‘Blockies’ South Australia Shiraz Mataro 2022
$8.80

Since the first wine in 2007, the finishing touch to Blockies has come from the use of high-quality Mataro. We believe Mataro is the best all-purpose variety to use when adjusting the wine flavours of warm climate reds. Incidentally Mataro has no role of course in making cool climate reds. Thus, the back palate lift comes from the addition of about 15%, high quality Barossa Valley Mataro. The result is as good as the first we made in 2007.

Stonevale Wines Red Barn Barossa Valley Cabernet Malbec 2020
$13.60

For 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.

Square Mile Barossa Valley Cabernet Merlot 2020
$13.80

As I tell customers ‘judge what is in the glass’ not what you wish it to be. Barossa Merlot is delicious when you ask, is it a good drink.

Mount Eagle Eden Valley Cabernet Syrah 2022
$14.10

The best way I can describe this Mount Eagle is to appreciate that the medium density, the result of the location, displays a range of flavours, perhaps fragrant, which tend to be masked in wines from the adjoining Barossa Valley.

$13.40

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

Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Cabernet Merlot 2019
$14.50

Cabernet makes firm wines and the tannic toughness can get out of control so blending with the soft, fleshiness of Merlot comes naturally.

Farmers & Growers ‘The Ploughman’ South Australia Shiraz Grenache 2022

Can 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.
