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.

Farmers & Growers ‘The Ploughman’ South Australia Shiraz Mataro 2022
$8.20All drinkers have a need for that small batch, inexpensive wine for occasions when the cellar of premiums should not be raided. Plenty of times we like to have a glass in hand when doing busy jobs and simply do not have a moment to reflect on the wine. This is the time to open a Quaffing Dry Red (QDR).

Farmers Museum Selection Fine Old Barossa Valley Tawny 750mL
$55.00Great vintages happen when everything goes just right such as a long even ripening without stress on the vine and thus the bunches of grapes. The excitement grows that 2021 will be one of the classics and I have my finger crossed that it may equal the 1996.

Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Cabernet Merlot 2019
$14.50Cabernet makes firm wines and the tannic toughness can get out of control so blending with the soft, fleshiness of Merlot comes naturally.

Stonevale Wines Red Barn Barossa Valley Cabernet Malbec 2020
$13.60For this Stonevale the Malbec has transformed the Cabernet into something special. Malbec has a tasty, sappy-fruity, menthol character so how much to add must be carefully measured. Malbec is very popular in Argentine and the best of them from Mendoza, the wine capital, fetch high prices. It is time for a Malbec revival.

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.
-
Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Primitivo 2023
$13.70The climate of the Barossa Valley creates full flavoured wines that charge across the palate. In addition, they show complexity, and it is this combination that has fascinated consumers and winemakers for so long. These flavours play out in the traditional varieties Shiraz, Cabernet, Grenache and Mataro.
There are other varieties planted, though all in small lots, that have been trialled for several decades and these include, Carignan, Durif, the many Portuguese port varieties, Primitivo or Zinfandel and many others. These interest Glug as we see our role as introducing new styles and unfamiliar varieties to our customers-to keep up their wine interest.

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.
-
Terrene Estates Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro Grenache N.V.
