Crayford Barossa Valley Grenache 2023
$14.80The 2023 vintage intrigued us as early on we noted the amazing fruit aromas. Best drink young was one thought and for this Grenache that remains my advice as I find it extraordinary. Treat this like a big, sappy young red. Just gorgeous.

Glug Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Mataro N.V.
$12.80I preach younger is better and in this case this is balanced by the wine being recently bottled and freshened with 2022 just before bottling. I see the role of this wine as being for the many occasions where a drink is required but not worthy of opening one of the best bottles.

Auld & Burton Barossa Valley Mataro 2017
$11.80Handmade wines of this quality is what decent wine merchants discover for customers.
-
Karrawirra Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$16.50The 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.
-
Auld & Burton Barossa Valley Merlot 2017
$11.80Merlot is like a perfumed and plumper version of Cabernet. Add the Barossa origin and it is richer again.
-
PB. Burgoyne Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
$11.80Cabernet 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.

Vine to Glass Barossa Valley Grenache 2023
$14.70Grenache has been promoted by Glug since our start, part of our mission, and samples now being offered to us have moved from curios to wines rivalling the best made anywhere around the Globe.
-
The Regions Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$13.80The reason there are so many Glug brands is because we prefer to bottle each wine to preserve the difference, however tiny. Overriding all of the small differences is the flavour of the Barossa Valley and the Glug style which favours full flavours. Expect from us a red over 14% alcohol as we are not excited by the flavours of low alcohol reds.

Glug Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro N.V.
$12.80Mataro has been the backbone of many Barossa Shiraz for decades because it blends well with Shiraz.

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.

Oakley Adams McLaren Vale Shiraz 2020
$12.60McLaren Vale is a sea-side location as it fronts St Vincent Gulf.

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.
-
Cellar Range Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
$14.50Back in October we were given our choice of barrels of Clare Valley reds from a five-star rated winery. While they retained the very best to be able to select what we wanted from the rest we knew was a rare honour.

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.
-
Parawatta Eden Valley Riesling 2022
$14.80If Riesling has its type location in Germany and Austria we next have to ask why Riesling can make such a superlative wine in faraway Australia. Let us just enjoy that these wonderful tastes exist and thank the versatility of Riesling.
