Albion Hills Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2021
$14.80In general Glug supports the move to flavour from the fruit with less emphasis on the flavour that builds from maturation or ageing. This Shiraz is worth every penny.

Hopcroft & Cornock McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020
$14.80Yet another reason why you should regularly drink the wines from this fascinating district.

Goat Square ‘Ziegenmarkt’ Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$18.50The 2021 is exceptional being from the 10/10 vintage 2021. This makes it the eighth release of Ziegenmarkt.
The reasons why the Barossa is associated with rich flavours is complex though is due to the geography, the inland summer heat and cooling air from the west. We now know enough to say that no other place on earth duplicates these conditions. Shiraz takes on a concentrated, heady flavour, with a luxurious mid-palate sensation of fruit sweetness.

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.

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.

Stockwell Creek Basket Pressed Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$22.50Irrespective of vintage the Barossa Valley has a reputation for full flavoured wines the result of the latitude, elevation and the way warmth is trapped. With Shiraz the results are often astonishing, and a richness with mid-palate weight is achieved that exceeds all other comparable regions. Vintage 2021 is close to 10/10.

Glug ‘Sunday Drive’ Adelaide Hills Shiraz 2023
$14.60Adelaide 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.
