Waitohi Springs Marlborough New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2023
$12.80Who was to know that plantings of Sauvignon Blanc along the river terraces of the Wairau River, draining the northern end of the South Island of New Zealand, in 1973 were to produce a taste sensation.

Terrene Estates South Australia Chardonnay 2024
$9.60Vines arrived with the First Fleet, collected from European vineyards, while cuttings also came from Madeira and Cape Town, both with a long wine making history. More varieties arrived with the Busby collection of the 1830s. We know Chardonnay existed for a long time in Mudgee yet what was the origin? New clonal selections arrived though it was not till the mid to late 1980s that sufficient Chardonnay was being made to meet demand. Now all vineyard districts grown Chardonnay though it is no longer favoured in warm regions like the Barossa Valley. This Terrene Estates is a Glug blend from several sources.

Mount Eagle Eden Valley Cabernet Syrah 2022
$14.10The best way I can describe this Mount Eagle is to appreciate that the medium density, the result of the location, displays a range of flavours, perhaps fragrant, which tend to be masked in wines from the adjoining Barossa Valley.

Hopcroft & Cornock McLaren Vale Rosé 2024
$13.80This is the first McLaren Vale Rosé we have stocked, a wine style that Glug enjoys when made from warm climate regions. Rosés made from the varieties Grenache and Mataro which fruit well in warm climates are our favourites.

Fareham Estate Clare Valley Shiraz 2022
$15.40There is something about the geography of the Clare Valley and how this reacts with the climate that finds its way into the Shiraz and Cabernet. They bring to the glass an additional and unusual fragrance, a minty delicacy, which is quite thrilling.

Farmers & Growers ‘The Ploughman’ South Australia Shiraz Grenache 2022
$8.70Can you make good wine that does not cost so much? Yes you can and when we began Glug we wanted a range of ‘quaffing dry reds’ or QDR’s as they are called that were of superior quality.
