Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
Original price was: $14.50.$7.00Current price is: $7.00.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.

Mount Eagle Eden Valley Cabernet Syrah 2022
Original price was: $14.10.$8.00Current 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.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.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.

Barbarossa Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Durif Mataro 2022
Original price was: $15.80.$10.00Current 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.

Wine Makers Individual Barrel Series GH76 WIBS Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Original price was: $14.70.$8.95Current price is: $8.95.So here we are with the final single barrel bottling. GH76 being the record keeping number. ’75 was when I began selling wine, a better ending, but we have no GH75 barrel. The WIBS idea has worked so lets celebrate that. The first single barrel was bottled in 2019 being from the 2015 vintage. There have been several dozen since. The alcohol at bottling of GH76 was 15% which indicates why we placed this barrel to one side. Beautiful wine which will keep for years. Good value today.

Oakley Adams Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023
Original price was: $12.50.$9.00Current price is: $9.00.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.
-
Oakley Adams Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
Original price was: $14.10.$7.05Current price is: $7.05.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.
-
Karrawirra Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Original price was: $16.50.$11.00Current price is: $11.00.The 15th vintage of Karrawirra reds. One certainty of life is the ever-changing weather, so no two vintages are the same. Antarctica is the great creator of the Earth’s weather and winemakers along the Southern edge see this every vintage. Though Barossa grapes always get ripe though the time varies.
