Jackman No.13 Dry Red Cabernet Merlot Shiraz NV
$6.00This wine was a blend of reds, made up of many varieties mostly Shiraz and Cabernet, from four districts sourced from along the Adelaidean Mount Lofty Range and from three vintages. It came from a high quality, medium sized, Barossa Valley winery.

Barbarossa Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Durif Mataro 2021
$15.80This is the last Barossa red from 2021 of which we have reasonable stocks. Barbarossa was created as a customer guessing game. The idea being to make a small bottling with three or four varieties, different vintages that have customers thinking about what is in the glass. Alas a mistake was made when labelling as it reveals the mix and vintage. A disaster to a triumph as my views of the greatness of the vintage grows and grows. Best that the vintage can be seen by all.

Terrene Estates South Australia Cabernet Merlot 2017
$10.60We recently found an astonishing collection of reds in a five-star winery in the Clare Valley and knowing we would not see its like again purchased more than usual.

Colton & Hewett McLaren Vale/Barossa Valley Cabernet Shiraz 2015
$11.80The common sense drinker should only think of what is in the glass and this maturing red delivers.

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.

Telegraph Road South Australia Shiraz Cabernet 2018
$7.50Our idea for this Telegraph Road was two good base wines which in-turn are blends and both with adequate barrel age. Wines like this are not world beaters but useful drinks and please note they have been bottled al late 2023 from barrel stock.

Light & Finniss South Australia Shiraz Cabernet 2018

Trial Bin 092 Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro Cabernet Durif NV
$10.50We promote drink what is in the glass. If it tastes good, and the price is OK then why worry about the variety or if a blend of vintages makes it non-vintage. Also why worry if it is a blend of wines from many regions. This wine though is 100% Barossa Valley.

Stonevale ‘Red Barn’ Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro 2014
$11.60For fifty years Barossa winemakers have been adding Mataro to Shiraz because it works. Ten to twenty percent Mataro adds a great deal of complexity to Shiraz and lengthens the palate

Auld & Burton Clare & Barossa Valley Cabernet Merlot 2017
$12.20At Glug, wines come and go quickly. Here we have used two varieties from two regions in various proportions. I find more Clare in the final blend than Barossa so look for a touch less heat and higher altitude flavours. Finally explaining the Clare flavours continues to defy me.

Borderland Estates ‘Tumbleweed’ South Australia Shiraz Viognier 2022
$8.00This 2022 blend came from a winery in the Southern Barossa Valley.
-
Light & Finniss Clare / Barossa Cabernet Merlot 2017
$11.50Marrying Clare with the Barossa is a natural idea to explore the taste possibilities of the Adelaidean Mount Lofty Range. This blend is a lively reminder of what is possible.

Brutus Barossa Valley Shiraz Durif 2018
$29.90Now and again our love of Barossa Shiraz combines with the perfect vintage for Durif. The wines sit in barrel, and at some point, the mellowness of both brings out their best. Enough for one barrel so we bottled 33 cases. A big wine and while I do not want customers worrying about alcohol levels you cannot make such a wine unless it is well over 15%. Durif is a Barossa winner.

$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.
