Goat Square Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

-
Karrawirra Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$16.50The great vintages are associated with a normal, steady ripening, plus an extended period for picking without being rushed to harvest. The wine maker when asked to comment replies that the wines made themselves. Such was the 2021 vintage, the 14th for Karrawirra.

Bengalee Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

‘The Regions’ Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$14.50We all have palate memories being the odd bottles which were ‘stand outs’. Many will coincide with an abnormally favourable vintage. The great Barossa red moment is with the 1996s. Still youthful even today. Just maybe the 2021 vintage will duplicate this. Even if it does not this vintage is the best for you now.
-
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.

PB. Burgoyne Padthaway Shiraz 2021
$11.40The Barossa reds from 2021 are so good that a vintage rating of 10/10 is appropriate. Ideal weather of course covers a large area and reports and tastings of wines from the Limestone Coast-Great South East of S.A. also confirm a great vintage.
-
Mount Eagle Eden Valley Pinot Gris 2022
$13.30Pinot Gris is like an albino version of Pinot Noir with an appealing aroma, delicate palate and good length. It needs no barrel fermentation or barrel ageing or all the other wonderful winemaking tricks and seems best when treated just like a Riesling. Take the free run juice, ferment and bottle and when this is done correctly you will have in your hand a most appealing drink.

Cellar Range Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021

Mount Eagle Eden Valley Riesling 2022
$13.30‘You Australians don’t get Riesling’ I was once told by a New Zealand expert. The discussion was over a glass of Grosset Clare Valley Riesling and my response was to nod wisely and keep drinking. Naturally the Clare taste is different to the fragrant aromas and softness of those from New Zealand.
-
Terrene Estates Limestone Coast Shiraz 2021
$11.50Terrene is a medieval English term that is suggestive of the French term terroir, for origin. Glug is attracted to wines that meet our quality terms yet are from unknown districts since we can buy them at lower prices. So expect high quality at a fair price.
