  • Karrawirra Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

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

    The Barossa Valley has a long history with Cabernet though it’s not rated as highly as the Shiraz which is wrong. We made just under 100 cases.

  • The Green Patch Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

    Original price was: $13.80.Current price is: $7.00.

    Boutiques now make more wine than they can sell at the high prices they charge. Indeed 50% of the current oversupply is called ‘premium’ for the first time ever. Glug hunts through this surplus to find wines we bottle as ‘One Offs’ like this Green Patch. Now you see them, then they are gone.

  • Mount Eagle Eden Valley Cabernet Syrah 2022

    Original price was: $14.10.Current price is: $7.00.

    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.

    Original price was: $14.10.Current price is: $7.00.

    Excellent Eden Valley Shiraz.

    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.

  • Oakley Adams Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023

    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.

  • Langdorf Kaldukee Barossa Valley Mataro 2020

    Original price was: $12.40.Current price is: $9.00.

    Bit by bit the status of Mataro is growing with Glug seeing Mataro as a variety of great significance from warm climate regions.

  • The Regions McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022

  • Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Primitivo 2023

    Original price was: $13.70.Current price is: $10.00.

    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.

  • Roxton McLaren Vale Merlot 2023

    Original price was: $14.60.Current price is: $10.50.

    Roxton has a long history as a McLaren Vale brand though had faded and abandoned by the 1960s. The advanced customer should compare and enjoy Merlot from McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley with our view being McLaren Vale has the edge.

  • Kitts Creek Barossa Valley Mataro 2018

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