Kitts Creek Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Original price was: $15.80.$8.00Current price is: $8.00.This region is higher, drier and with a different weather pattern to the Southern and middle part of the Barossa. What we want from the wines of this region is Barossa strength yet with the cooler evenings the fruit aromas are more fragrant which also shows on the palate.

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.

Oakley Adams McLaren Vale Malbec 2023
Original price was: $12.80.$9.00Current price is: $9.00.A McLaren Vale Malbec chosen for one simple reason: outstanding flavour for the price. Often used in blends, Malbec shines here on its own, delivering richness and character that proves variety matters less than good wine at the right value. Different, impressive, and bottled exactly as we found it.

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.

Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
Original price was: $14.50.$10.00Current 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.

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.

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.

Bengalee Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
Original price was: $16.50.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.The Bengalee left Hamburg with German settlers on 10th July 1838 and arrived in Adelaide on the 19th November, 1838.

We picked up that story in 2008 when we released our first Bengalee Shiraz.

Glug ‘Sandcastle’ Barossa Valley Grenache 2024
Original price was: $13.80.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.Not long-ago Barossa Grenache had no following so it is pleasing that advanced drinkers now realise the wonder of the Barossa expands far beyond Shiraz.
