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.

P. B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Shiraz 2022
$13.60There are some fabulous vineyard clusters and those developed by the Henschke family at Keyneton illustrate the wine quality that can be achieved. The origin of the Burgoyne Shiraz is from the low Eden Valley where the reds are plumper than the far cooler high Eden. Still the low parts of the Eden Valley are one hundred or more metres higher than the Barossa Valley so expect a Shiraz that highlights different flavour aspects.

Kitts Creek Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$15.80Only recently have smart customers again realised how agreeable are warm climate Cabernet wines.

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.

The Green Patch Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Original price was: $13.80.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.To describe the setting for this Cabernet we must return to the debate of the role of climate-weather in the development of wine flavours and from this whether cool climate wines are better than warm climate wines.

Auld & Burton Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro 2014
$12.80The oldest Mataro vines date back to around 1892 though it was a popular variety in previous eras as a productive, non-irrigated bush vine this before the arrival of trellised vine rows and drip irrigation. We do know that the early makers of Barossa Valley Shiraz added 10-15% of Mataro to many blends as they found this added strength and character to the wine. So Mataro was the variety which was never on the label yet was always in red wine.

Glug ‘Bethany Road’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$14.20Barossa Cabernet is different to those from cooler districts being warmer and riper on the palate and this ‘one off’ is very much in the Glug style.
-
Goat Square Barossa Valley Grenache Mataro Rosé 2024
$14.50There is a textural quality to these Rosés, the result of course of the varieties, that pushes them to a level beyond the fresh, pink coloured Rosés made like a white wine from cool regions. The very best of Provence might just draw close to this Goat Square.

Glug Exploring The Full Flavoured Reds of SA Mix
$120.00The reds of South Australia are very special. The reason is the geography of the premium vineyard regions means the climate is a balance between cooling and ripening in a way which is not found anywhere else on the globe.

Glug ‘North Block’ Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
$14.60The point of Barossa Shiraz is its unique depth and ripeness. Pale, delicate and light has its place as does a wine like this which is the opposite. Look for an intense depth of ‘sweetness’ along the mid palate which is a feature that seems to be unique to the Barossa Valley. I hasten to add the wine is dry its just that the taste appears as described.
-
Kitts Creek Barossa Valley Grenache Mataro Rosé 2023
$14.80Not those cool climate versions made from whites that are then given a hint of pink from a bucket of Shiraz. No as I’m talking about grapes in the Barossa Valley, picked a bit earlier than for a red, for the single purpose of making a Rosé.
-
Crayford Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2023
$14.80Shiraz 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.
-
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.

Original price was: $10.40.$8.00Current price is: $8.00.Great 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.
