Crayford Barossa Valley Grenache 2023
$12.80The 2023 vintage intrigued us as early on we noted the amazing fruit aromas. Best drink young was one thought and for this Grenache that remains my advice as I find it extraordinary. Treat this like a big, sappy young red. Just gorgeous.

Crayford Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2023
$12.80Shiraz 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.

Crayford Barossa Valley Shiraz Durif 2022
$12.80What 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.

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.

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.

The business part entails endless tasting, barrel by barrel at regular intervals to check on the health of the wines. The creating interest part comes from the natural, inquisitive role of a winemaker to test what happens when different varieties are blended.
