Goat Square Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
$15.80This 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.
-
Crayford Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$14.80We enjoy wines like this Crayford when younger though the wine will hold up well for many years.
-
Karrawirra Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$16.50The 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.
-
Parawatta Eden Valley Pinot Gris 2022
$11.80There is no other Australian district with just these geographic features and they create quite special flavours.
-
Bengalee Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018
$16.50Being an enthusiast for this Bengalee I reason that if you do have suitable storage the maturing changes with time will provide interesting drinking.
-
PB. Burgoyne Padthaway Shiraz 2021
$11.40The Barossa reds from 2021 are so good that a vintage rating of 10/10 is appropriate. Ideal weather of course covers a large area and reports and tastings of wines from the Limestone Coast-Great South East of S.A. also confirm a great vintage.
-
‘The Regions’ Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$14.50We all have palate memories being the odd bottles which were ‘stand outs’. Many will coincide with an abnormally favourable vintage. The great Barossa red moment is with the 1996s. Still youthful even today. Just maybe the 2021 vintage will duplicate this. Even if it does not this vintage is the best for you now.
-
Barbarossa Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Durif Mataro 2021
$15.80This is the last Barossa red from 2021 of which we have reasonable stocks. Barbarossa was created as a customer guessing game. The idea being to make a small bottling with three or four varieties, different vintages that have customers thinking about what is in the glass. Alas a mistake was made when labelling as it reveals the mix and vintage. A disaster to a triumph as my views of the greatness of the vintage grows and grows. Best that the vintage can be seen by all.
-
Terrene Estates Limestone Coast Shiraz 2021
$11.50Terrene is a medieval English term that is suggestive of the French term terroir, for origin. Glug is attracted to wines that meet our quality terms yet are from unknown districts since we can buy them at lower prices. So expect high quality at a fair price.
-
Karrawirra Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2021
$16.50What a beautiful wine, the result of perfect vintage, the 14th for Karrawirra. Karrawirra is a traditional Glug brand so expect a traditional interpretation of a Barossa red.
-
Light & Finniss South Australia Shiraz Cabernet 2018
$10.90This Light and Finniss is in the Glug model of full flavours from ripe fruit.
-
Mount Eagle Eden Valley Pinot Gris 2022
$13.30Pinot Gris is like an albino version of Pinot Noir with an appealing aroma, delicate palate and good length. It needs no barrel fermentation or barrel ageing or all the other wonderful winemaking tricks and seems best when treated just like a Riesling. Take the free run juice, ferment and bottle and when this is done correctly you will have in your hand a most appealing drink.
-
Glug ‘Alpha’ Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
$14.50An excess of premium wine is building quickly. Even the Barossa Valley will not be spared as production is up 50% in the last 10 years and prices of the fashionable boutiques has doubled, perhaps more. This Glug Alpha is another purchase from a local boutique.
-
The Green Patch Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2022
$13.80The Glug Green Patch is a blend of wines purchased from local boutique grower makers – the number of which have considerably expanded in the last decades – with surplus stock now making its way into the market.
-
Terrene Estates Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro Grenache M.V.
$12.60Just delicious and why weren’t wines of this type a regular part of our drinking decades ago. Why were they not made? The three varieties that thrive together in the Australian warm climate districts are Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro and they have been around since the start.
-
‘The Regions’ Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$14.80One our best ever purchases came late last year which I termed ‘the five star winery haul’ and that is the source of this beautiful Clare Valley Cabernet-a five star winery. As for the source, well our lips are sealed.
-
Colton & Hewett McLaren Vale/Barossa Valley Cabernet Shiraz 2015
$11.80The common sense drinker should only think of what is in the glass and this maturing red delivers.
-
Mount Eagle Eden Valley Riesling 2022
$13.30‘You Australians don’t get Riesling’ I was once told by a New Zealand expert. The discussion was over a glass of Grosset Clare Valley Riesling and my response was to nod wisely and keep drinking. Naturally the Clare taste is different to the fragrant aromas and softness of those from New Zealand.
