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.

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.

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.

Brutus Barossa Valley Shiraz Durif 2018
$29.90Now and again our love of Barossa Shiraz combines with the perfect vintage for Durif. The wines sit in barrel, and at some point, the mellowness of both brings out their best. Enough for one barrel so we bottled 33 cases. A big wine and while I do not want customers worrying about alcohol levels you cannot make such a wine unless it is well over 15%. Durif is a Barossa winner.
-
Landaus Vintners ‘The Diviner’ South Australia Shiraz Grenache 2022
$8.80I rate this Diviner as the best we have made and that is because of the base we discovered last year. Also supplies of warm climate Grenache have improved allowing us to spread this resource into wines like the Diviner.
-
Glug ‘Bethany Road’ Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
$14.20Barossa Cabernet is different to those from cooler districts being warmer and riper on the palate and this ‘one off’ is very much in the Glug style.
-
Light & Finniss Fleurieu Peninsula Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
$11.50Colonel Light and Boyle Finniss began the job of surveying South Australia on the Western side of the Fleurieu Peninsula on the 17th September 1836, 141 years before this Cabernet was made and named after them.
-
Goat Square Barossa Valley Grenache Mataro Rosé 2024
$14.50There 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.
-
Limited Release Batch 14G Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$14.60This Glug Batch 14G Barossa Cabernet is the best of many we have been offered. You can purchase with confidence – let us do the worrying. The alcohol at 14.4% is about right. Glug likes Barossa Cabernet at around 14.5%.

Glug Exploring The Full Flavoured Reds of SA Mix
$120.00The reds of South Australia are very special. The reason is the geography of the premium vineyard regions means the climate is a balance between cooling and ripening in a way which is not found anywhere else on the globe.

Borderland Estates ‘Tumbleweed’ South Australia Shiraz Viognier 2022
$8.00This 2022 blend came from a winery in the Southern Barossa Valley.
-
Glug ‘North Block’ Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
$14.60The point of Barossa Shiraz is its unique depth and ripeness. Pale, delicate and light has its place as does a wine like this which is the opposite. Look for an intense depth of ‘sweetness’ along the mid palate which is a feature that seems to be unique to the Barossa Valley. I hasten to add the wine is dry its just that the taste appears as described.
-
Kitts Creek Barossa Valley Grenache Mataro Rosé 2023
$14.80Not 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.
-
Glug GH29 Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
Original price was: $14.20.$10.00Current price is: $10.00.These Individual Barrel bottlings will show why Barossa Cabernet belongs on your dining table. This GH29 Single Barrel will repay long term cellaring though is gorgeous now. We rate the vintage as 10/10.
-
Crayford Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2023
$14.80Shiraz forms the stable known base. Grenache has alcoholic strength but less palate taste and brings to the blend beguiling aromas and a different palate impression to Shiraz. Yet what are these two without Mataro which maintains order by rearranging both and providing a strength of character particularly on the back palate. Still the genius of this wine remains the Grenache.
