• 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.

  • Karrawirra Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021

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

    The great vintages are associated with a normal, steady ripening, plus an extended period for picking without being rushed to harvest. The wine maker when asked to comment replies that the wines made themselves. Such was the 2021 vintage, the 14th for Karrawirra.

  • Karrawirra Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

    Original price was: $16.50.Current price is: $10.00.

    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.

  • Dolans, Sobels & Hope ‘Squatters Three’ Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

    Original price was: $13.80.Current price is: $10.00.

    This Cabernet is part of the five star red haul that we purchased over 2024. The Cabernet is made in the manner of the Leasingham Bin 56 of the 1970s-1980s.

  • 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.

  • Roxton McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

    Original price was: $14.60.Current price is: $9.00.

    Ninety 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.

  • Mount Eagle Eden Valley Cabernet Syrah 2022

    Original price was: $14.10.Current price is: $8.00.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

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

    The Barossa Valley is a remarkable wine region to visit. To move from admiring the landscape in the manner of the occasional visitor to having a profound knowledge of the how the landscape evolved (geomorphology) has given me much satisfaction.

    I know Old Moppa Road very well. It runs along the western edge of the northern Barossa Valley a location with many old vine vineyards. Alas for this vintage we could not buy grapes from the location we wanted along Old Moppa so moved further north to secure supply.

    This vintage was a true Barossa vintage without prolonged hot spells nor unsettling cooler periods. So out of 50 vintages the 2022 would be like about 25 of them. You want to sit with the average not the extremes. Looks good in the glass as I write this note but am wary about long term cellaring.

    The wine is rich and deep but all vintages make me cautious as the unexpected can appear as they age, so 10 plus years is not recommended – unless you are happy.

  • Barbarossa Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Durif Mataro 2022

    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.

  • 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.

  • Hopcroft & Cornock McLaren Vale Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2022

    Original price was: $13.80.Current price is: $9.00.

    Sourced from surplus barrels of a post-1990s McLaren Vale winemaker, this Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2022 has been matured in large, seasoned oak and bottled when at its finest, offering a rich, balanced expression of the original wine.

  • 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.

  • Glug Reserve Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

    Original price was: $19.50.Current price is: $11.00.

    Inspired by Max Schubert’s quest for great South Australian Cabernet, we’ve worked with Barossa Cabernet since our early vintages and now release standout barrels under the Glug Reserve label. It will age well, though it is gorgeous now, so enjoy a few bottles early.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Village Belle Barossa Valley Grenache 2022

    Original price was: $14.50.Current price is: $9.00.

    We are interested in taste variations to Barossa and Eden Valley varieties beyond our core range of Shiraz and Cabernet.

  • The Regions McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022

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

    McLaren Vale Shiraz shaped by the cooling influence of the nearby ocean, where maritime freshness meets inland heat. The 2022 vintage delivers a rich, powerful style at 15.3% alcohol. A big wine that shows why McLaren Vale stands alongside Australia’s great coastal regions.

  • Kitts Creek Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

    Original price was: $15.80.Current price is: $10.00.

    Classic Barossa Shiraz. Full, ripe and generous, just as we like it. Made from fully ripened grapes with light extraction, this 2022 delivers rich flavour now rather than needing long cellaring, showing why Barossa Shiraz remains unmatched for depth and value.

  • Bengalee Barossa Valley Grenache 2024

    Original price was: $16.50.Current price is: $10.00.

    We seek to bring out the serious side of Grenache, a substantial full flavoured expression such as we seek with our Shiraz.
