Glug ‘Sunday Drive’ Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023
Original price was: $14.60.$8.00Current price is: $8.00.Adelaide Hills vineyards are small and variable. A bit of good ground here and a further tiny parcel over the hill crest. Pocket handkerchief vineyards. Less common is exposure to the summer heat which ripens Shiraz and this ‘Sunday Drive’ we found irresistible and so purchased from a small garagiste maker. Cool climate though in the style of Eden Valley.

Glug ‘North Block’ Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
$14.60The point of Barossa Shiraz is its unique depth and ripeness. Pale, delicate and light has its place as does a wine like this which is the opposite. Look for an intense depth of ‘sweetness’ along the mid palate which is a feature that seems to be unique to the Barossa Valley. I hasten to add the wine is dry its just that the taste appears as described.

Crayford Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2023
$14.80Shiraz forms the stable known base. Grenache has alcoholic strength but less palate taste and brings to the blend beguiling aromas and a different palate impression to Shiraz. Yet what are these two without Mataro which maintains order by rearranging both and providing a strength of character particularly on the back palate. Still the genius of this wine remains the Grenache.

-
Mount Eagle Eden Valley Cabernet Syrah 2022

Original price was: $14.10.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.Montepulciano is a southern Italian variety and the Eden Valley with a more Mediterranean climate than the Barossa is the best place to see how this variety performs in our southern climates.

Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Durif Shiraz 2022
Original price was: $14.50.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.My taste for Durif commenced in the late 1970s with trips to Rutherglen where it has historical connections from 1908. No other region grew the variety though later I discovered it was growing at Griffith in the Murray Basin. The climate of Australia is different to Europe, the source of our vine cuttings, and what varieties suit Australia has yet to be decided so I have a hunch Durif will be a big part of our future. This is the variety that should be used to bolster up other varieties when the vintage leaves them weak on flavour.
From 2004 we developed a feel of what we wished to achieve in the Barossa Valley the idea being to work with Shiraz Mataro and Grenache. Durif though was a background thought and circumstances allowed us to begin working with Durif by 2005. Not much was planted yet over the years has expanded. Initially we saw it as a blending option and from 2015 began to think it was worth promoting as a single variety. Good enough for Rutherglen then good enough for the Barossa Valley.
The elevation of the Barossa Valley is 200 to 300 metres while Rutherglen is 175 metres and the two districts are closer than the distant apart and geography would suggest. The final blend was with the natural partner Shiraz since the Barossa makes such high quality Shiraz.
