Mount Eagle Eden Valley Tempranillo 2021
$14.10Tempranillo is one of the noble varieties of Spain and climatically is a useful addition to the palates of consumers.

Knotts Mount Lofty Ranges Vermentino 2024
$13.60I write this note, glass by my desk. Scented with a difference, shows fragrance, good length, made for Australia-a picnic white, for the anything but Chardonnay crowd. Perhaps serve on your boat on Sydney harbour, during summer of course.
Sourced from a nameless, smart boutique in the Adelaide Hills. For those without a boat, the rest of us, Vermentino like Gruner Veltliner will be one of the very large number of varieties that clamour for attention which you try a few times each year.

The Green Patch Barossa Valley Riesling 2024
$14.20This Barossa Riesling is an each-way bet showing cool-warm climate features. It is the first we have offered since the retail days of the 1970s. Will age well.
-
Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Durif 2020
$14.80Deep in colour with great power describes the style Glug likes. Why the genes of the warm climate loving Shiraz when crossed with those of the high altitude, cool climate Peloursin produce the perfect variety for Australia, Durif, I do not understand. Instead of a mid-way point we have a supercharged Shiraz. Wonderful wine and the aroma will tell you what to expect.

BVWS Barossa Valley Wine Supply Industrial Strength Barossa Valley Shiraz Durif 2018
$22.60This Industrial Strength is 15.4% alc/vol. The Italians make a variety of wine called Amarone which is made after the grapes have been partially dehydrated on racks to lower the water level. This Industrial Strength is not made that way as we simply isolated a patch of grapes to make this natural ripe style, fermented dry I quickly add, and what is created is deep in colour and packed with flavour.

Glug ‘The Long Shot’ Barossa Valley Primitivo Shiraz 2023
Original price was: $13.70.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.This is a red you will enjoy being a blend of the Italian variety Primitivo with our local favourite Shiraz. Shiraz is the outstanding variety for Australia and rises to heights that eclipse any other Global region. The blend with Primitive works as this variety also responds to our local summer heat. A pleasing addition to the Glug portfolio.

Trial Bin 093 Barossa Cabernet Merlot Cabernet Franc M.V.
$10.40Great wines have been produced since the red wine trials of the 1950s by Max Schubert showed us the way. These evolved into Penfolds Range and the sweeping range of Bin numbers of today. This Trial Bin 093 helps us understand the blending of Barossa Valley with Eden Valley wines.
-
Glug Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Mataro N.V.
$12.80I preach younger is better and in this case this is balanced by the wine being recently bottled and freshened with 2022 just before bottling. I see the role of this wine as being for the many occasions where a drink is required but not worthy of opening one of the best bottles.

Light & Finniss South Australia Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$10.90This is the way our winemaker likes his wines which is to let the mystery unfold as you taste.

Harem ‘Rosita’ Barossa Valley Rosé (Grenache Mataro) 2022
$21.00About this Rosé I said, ‘Forget the insinuation of the pale delicate rusty pink colour, as this is simply very great wine which is fruity, bone dry, bitter-sweet and offers challenges’. Insinuation meaning – because it’s a rosé do not expect a simple, quaffing, sweet style. This comment applies to the remarkable Rosita 2022 which will develop for many years.

Dark Matter Exploration No.2
$14.50Imagine a wine which is a black glass, passed via a hatch into a darkened room, where you sit on your own, to make of the wine what you will.

P. B. Burgoyne Riverland Shiraz 2022
$9.50Great wines can be made from our inland regions, and they have been. Both Mildara and the Berri-Renmano Coop in the 1970s released many superlative wines. Some of the greatest bargains today are made in the Griffith area. Yet you will never know about them due to the prejudice now built into the reporting and judging of wines. Yes, you have been brainwashed. This Burgoyne is another in our program to make tasty QDR’s short for quaffing dry reds.
-
Bagot Station Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023
$13.40Young reds from the right vintages without hard extract are magnificent. This Bagot reminds me of those deeply coloured and powerful Moulin a Vent-Beaujolais, I imported in the 1970s. Deep in colour, one glass led to another, as did the bottles. How can wine be so pleasant. This vintage produced wines with a pronounced aroma and the winemaker has highlighted this with a light touch in the winery-such as no pressings added back. A must buy though will not evolve into a Karrawirra.
-
Mount Eagle Eden Valley Montepulciano 2021
$14.10Montepulciano 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.

Karrawirra Single Vineyard ‘Fan Block’ Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018
$26.00The pick of the best Barossa end up as Karrawirra Single Vineyard bottlings.

Terrene Estates South Australia Shiraz 2022
$11.30This Terrene Estates is a blend of Shiraz from warmer South Australian districts.
-
Borderland Estates ‘Flocking Galloots’ South Australia Sauvignon Blanc 2024
$9.60Glug simply loves Sauvignon Blanc. We were there in the mid late 1970s promoting the variety when the elite shunned it – indeed they were scathing of its potential.
