• Parawatta Eden Valley Pinot Gris 2022

    $11.80

    There is no other Australian district with just these geographic features and they create quite special flavours.

  • Mount Eagle Eden Valley Pinot Gris 2022

    $13.30

    Pinot 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.

  • 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.

  • Philip Schaffer Juliana Pink Moscato NV

    $10.99

    Refreshing Discovery

  • Parawatta Eden Valley Riesling 2022

    $14.80

    If 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.

  • Goat Square Barossa Valley Grenache Mataro Rosé 2024

    $14.50

    There is a textural quality to these Rosés, the result of course of the varieties, that pushes them to a level beyond the fresh, pink coloured Rosés made like a white wine from cool regions. The very best of Provence might just draw close to this Goat Square.

  • P.B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Pinot Gris 2023

    $11.60

    Pinot Gris is perfect for the coolish Eden Valley.

    This P.B. Bourgoyne was sourced from a boutique we have been buying surplus from for about seven years.

  • Kitts Creek Barossa Valley Grenache Mataro Rosé 2023

    $14.80

    Not those cool climate versions made from whites that are then given a hint of pink from a bucket of Shiraz. No as I’m talking about grapes in the Barossa Valley, picked a bit earlier than for a red, for the single purpose of making a Rosé.

  • P.B. Burgoyne Eden Valley Riesling 2023

    $11.60

    Eden Valley is considered a cool climate district.  Cool climate districts though are not all the same since coolness can come from elevation or latitude or a combination.

    Further variations are created by the closeness to the ocean, being a source of cool air, and rainfall as humidity seems to play a role in creating the taste.

  • Knotts Mount Lofty Ranges Vermentino 2024

    $13.60

    I write this note, glass by my desk. Scented with a difference, shows fragrance, good length, made for Australia-a picnic white, for the anything but Chardonnay crowd. Perhaps serve on your boat on Sydney harbour, during summer of course.

    Sourced from a nameless, smart boutique in the Adelaide Hills. For those without a boat, the rest of us, Vermentino like Gruner Veltliner will be one of the very large number of varieties that clamour for attention which you try a few times each year.

  • Roxton McLaren Vale Grenache Rosé 2024

    $14.60

    Rosé made from the warm climate varieties, Grenache, Mataro and blends of the two is sensational. We have steadily built our Barossa Valley range and recently a bulk purchase from McLaren Vale creates the first under the famous old Roxton label.

  • The Green Patch Barossa Valley Riesling 2024

    $14.20

    This Barossa Riesling is an each-way bet showing cool-warm climate features. It is the first we have offered since the retail days of the 1970s. Will age well.

  • Harem ‘Rosita’ Barossa Valley Rosé (Grenache Mataro) 2022

    $21.00

    About this Rosé I said, ‘Forget the insinuation of the pale delicate rusty pink colour, as this is simply very great wine which is fruity, bone dry, bitter-sweet and offers challenges’. Insinuation meaning – because it’s a rosé do not expect a simple, quaffing, sweet style. This comment applies to the remarkable Rosita 2022 which will develop for many years.

  • Glug ‘The Scrooge’ Eden Valley Riesling 2022

    Original price was: $12.50.Current price is: $8.00.

    This purchase from the premium surplus that now exists in many boutique wineries makes another Glug bargain. Riesling plantings in the Eden Valley have been favoured by Barossa growers from the 1950s as the altitude, 200 to 300 metres above the Barossa Valley, highlights the distinctive delicacy of the variety.

  • Waitohi Springs Marlborough New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2023

    $12.80

    Who 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.

  • Hopcroft & Cornock McLaren Vale Rosé 2024

    $13.80

    This 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.

  • Oakley Adams Eden Valley Riesling 2022

    $13.20

    Eden Valley is called cool climate, and it is certainly cooler than the Barossa Valley.  Though it is not cool ripening like Tasmania or New Zealand. Best to see this district as the eastern extension of the Barossa Valley. A high altitude, dry land, rugged plateau which makes wines unlike any other though offering flavours much to our liking.canva
