The final release in the Grandma Raethel series, and the standout vintage of them all. Created as a tribute to the German pioneers who settled the Barossa in the 1840s, these wines celebrate the region’s warm-climate style, delivering the deep flavour and mid-palate richness that make Barossa reds unique in the world.

Bagot Station Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023
$13.40Young 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.

Oakley Adams Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
Original price was: $14.10.$8.00Current price is: $8.00.I keep telling the story of the role of wine merchants using Oakley Adams as they did the hard yards. The business was Melbourne based and began in 1871 as importers of wines and spirits. Later they promoted local wines which were bottled as Oakley Adams selections. Selling wine was hard work and did not become part of life of our social life until the post war years.

Glug Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023
Original price was: $19.50.$12.00Current price is: $12.00.The first Glug reserve was a 2015 being a small parcel just too good to blend away which was bottled in 2017. By then we had learnt how to bottle tiny amounts leading to single barrel bottlings and small amounts. The point of Barossa Shiraz is its unique depth and ripeness. Thus pale, delicate and light has its place as does a wine like this which is the opposite; having an intense depth of ‘sweetness’ along the mid palate a feature that seems to be unique to the Barossa Valley.
