Farmers & Growers Wheatsheaf Barossa Valley Field Blend NV
Original price was: $9.80.$9.00Current price is: $9.00.What 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.

Karrawirra Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$16.00The Barossa Valley has a long history with Cabernet though it’s not rated as highly as the Shiraz which is wrong. We made just under 100 cases.
-
Goat Square ‘Ziegenmarkt’ Reserve Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Karrawirra Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2021

$13.80Flavours will be riper and fuller and discover a Cabernet of complex tastes.

Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Rose 2022
$13.50So what happens if we gently press Grenache and Mataro and bleed off the free run juice with minimal colour, to make our Rose. Pale tint of red going tawny at the edge of the glass, and we get to see what the grape flavours are without tannins and oak maturation.

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.

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.
-
Auld & Burton Clare & Barossa Valley Cabernet Merlot 2017
$10.20At 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.

Glug Vine to Glass Eden Valley Shiraz 2022
$13.50I have a simple view. Good wine will sell and since the Eden Valley lacks appeal that’s where the bargains will be found. Over the last three years Glug has made connections with several boutique Eden Valley wineries and now take any surplus they offer. This Glug Vine to Glass is a ‘one off’ being sourced from one of our connections. Customers will be rewarded.

Goat Square Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$14.50Cabernets can shine to reveal a different expression to those of cooler maritime localities.
-
P.B. Burgoyne Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$10.80Cabernet grapes from warmer regions like the Barossa Valley and Clare Valley make exceptional wines though both districts have been sidelined by the rise of Cabernet wines from the cooler Yarra Valley and Margaret River. This Cabernet was bottled by Glug and you can approach it with confidence.
