‘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.

Fareham Estate Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$15.40Late last year we purchased a collection of Shiraz and Cabernet of exquisite quality from a ‘five star’ winery, this rating being awarded by a noted wine writer. I can say no more as part of any purchase means we are forbidden to use the maker’s name.

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.

Cellar Range Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$15.20We cannot reveal the source since the reason wines like this are offered is because the grower-maker wants anonymity. They want no conflict with their brand which as in all cases they offer the same wine at far higher prices.
-
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.

Glug ‘The Bright Spark’ Barossa Valley Mataro 2021
$13.80The Barossa Valley climate is ideal for producing good crops of grapes that reach exceptional sugar levels and have plenty of colour. Historically these were used to produced fortified wines of high quality, particularly port. The three favoured varieties were Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro. I refer to these as the Barossa heritage varieties and many vines of great age survive.

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.

Glug ‘The Back Block’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$14.20This Cabernet is not like that from say the Yarra Valley. You will detect a varietal resemblance and then the warmth of the Barossa takes over and being the Barossa there is more body weight on the palate.
-
Mount Eagle Eden Valley Chardonnay 2020
$13.30To say Chardonnay is at its best only from an ultra-cool climate is to miss out on the endless variety wine offers so we thought the time was right to expand our winemaking into the Eden Valley.
-
Glug ‘Primis’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$13.80It is the Glug view that the delights of warm climate Cabernet have not been recognised an we continue our mission to alter this perception. The Glug Primis is a ‘once off’ bottling of wine purchased from a local boutique. It offers Glug customer excellent value. Big red at 14.9% alcohol.

Farmers & Growers Wheatsheaf Barossa Valley Field Blend NV
$9.80What is a Field Blend? The varieties of vines e.g. Cabernet are propagated by cuttings so they are all identical. Back in time vines were crosses from pollination thus each plant was different. Also vineyards were often planted with many varieties. Hence the Field Blend being a wine made from all the different clones and varieties in the vineyard.
Recall the overall flavour is controlled by the weather of each vintage. There are many varieties and several vintages making this wine though you will detect Shiraz and Durif, favourites of Glug while the components are from several recent vintages.
