• Crayford Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021

    Original price was: $14.80.Current price is: $10.00.

    We enjoy wines like this Crayford when younger though the wine will hold up well for many years.

  • Crayford Barossa Valley Shiraz Durif 2022

    Original price was: $14.80.Current price is: $9.00.

    What varieties can be used to make wines that create a taste that carries the global badge ‘made in Australia’. Shiraz for sure as it takes on another dimension in our warm regions. Of the many hundreds of other varieties it is work in motion though a Glug favourite for stardom is Durif.

  • 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.

  • Roxton McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

    $14.60

    McLaren Vale has won more Trophies and Gold medals for Cabernet than for Shiraz and this is attributed to the ocean influence and associated cooling breezes. Globally it is believed that the best Cabernets come from districts with a maritime location, a view developed from the French understanding of flavour development.

  • Oakley Adams Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

    $12.80

    Barossa Cabernet that changed perceptions. While tradition says the best Cabernet comes from cool climates, Australia proves otherwise—great Cabernet thrives from the Hunter to Clare, and especially the Barossa. The Oakley Adams release captures this fresh identity: bold, elegant, and proof that if the wine tastes good, you’ve found the right place.

  • Roxton McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

    Original price was: $14.60.Current price is: $10.00.

    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.

  • Oakley Adams Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2022

    $12.80

    Impressive Shiraz and the reason we return time and again to Langhorne Creek for wines that combine high quality with customer value.

  • 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: $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.

  • 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.

  • ‘The Regions’ Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

    $14.80

    One 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.

  • Cellar Range Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

    $14.50

    Back in October we were given our choice of barrels of Clare Valley reds from a five-star rated winery. While they retained the very best to be able to select what we wanted from the rest we knew was a rare honour.

  • 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.

    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.

    Wine Makers Individual Barrel Series GH76 WIBS Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

    Original price was: $14.70.Current 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 Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

    Original price was: $13.50.Current price is: $9.00.

    Clare Valley Cabernet is a hidden gem. Born in Bordeaux, this variety has adapted to Clare’s unusual climate, producing wines with rare elegance and intrigue. Oakley Adams captures that beauty – sourced from a five-star winery and preserved by Glug for true wine discoverers.

  • GH63 WIBS Winemakers Individual Barrel Selection Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 15%

    Original price was: $14.50.Current price is: $8.95.

    Selected from a standout barrel set aside by the winemaker, this bottling shows the powerful side of Barossa Cabernet. Treated in the same way as Shiraz, the result is a wine that is Barossa first and Cabernet second. Rich, full and a reminder that this variety thrives just as impressively in warmer districts.

  • Hopcroft & Cornock McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

    Original price was: $14.80.Current price is: $8.00.

    McLaren Vale Shiraz offers a fascinating contrast to the Barossa. A warm-climate wine shaped by coastal influence, delivering richness with a distinctive edge. Its unique geography creates wines that are both generous and complex, making it a region worth returning to again and again.
