NEW WINES

As Fresh as Yesterday in your Glass

Glug Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2016

I like this wine as it has picked up further drinking interest from being stored for four years in large temperature-controlled tanks; think of red wine in barrels, to get the idea. Thus it’s a major discovery by Benjamin, being more complex and richer than a 2020 vintage. The bush-fires and smoke taint in the Adelaide Hills just prior to more detail...

Following the Style of Past Champions

Glug Barossa Valley Semillon 2018

Semillon was widely grown in the Barossa Valley for use in fortified wines as the variety grows well not only in cool maritime climates but also in much warmer regions and of course is acclaimed in the Hunter Valley. more detail...

Best Barossa with Barrel Aged Adelaide Hills

Glug Barossa Valley / Adelaide Hills Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2017

Semillon is a most adaptable variety and has been grown in Australia perhaps from the start, as early as in the 1790's. This variety also crops well across a wide climate spectrum.

Blending Two Regions Made a Better Wine

Premium Private Bin 844 Clare Valley / Barossa Valley Cabernet Merlot 2017

Region:Clare Valley & Barossa Valley blend, South Australia

The blending of regions has been practiced since the growth of table wines from the 1950s.

Max Schubert at Penfolds moved to the blending of wine from many regions because he could not find the quality required from a single region. A trademark character of more detail...

Serious Rosé for Serious Drinkers

Glug Barossa Valley Grenache Mataro Rose 2019

What makes wine so interesting is the amazing range of tastes. A Barossa Rosé made in the traditional way from Grenache and Mataro is one of the great drinking pleasures. These two varieties only ripen to perfection in a warm climate and both reach flavour peaks in the Barossa Valley that are not achieved in other locations.

Heritage Varieties Offer Complexity and Warmth

Goat Square Barossa Valley Mataro 2019

We began using Mataro in the Goat Square wines with a blend of Mataro, Grenache and Shiraz in 2006 and again in 2008. The first 100% varietal Mataro was the 2010 and this was repeated in 2012, 2014 and more detail...

Shining Example of Barossa Mataro

Village Belle Barossa Valley Mourvedre 2019

Interest in Barossa Valley Mourvedre or Mataro has steadily grown since the 1980s and with many winemakers having handled 30 consecutive vintages the wine quality has soared. When we commenced Glug in 2004, we wished to work with the old heritage varieties, Grenache and Mataro, and have made dozens over the years. more detail...

At Long Last Soaring in Appeal

Village Belle Barossa Valley Grenache 2020

Many new varieties have been introduced to Australia since the 1980s, yet one of the classical varieties known to make glorious wines, planted back in the 1840s-1850s, has lain dormant and ignored. I write of course about Grenache, one of the founding or heritage varieties of the Barossa Valley. more detail...

Matured After Long Barrel Aging

Karrawirra Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet 2015

The traditional Australian red blend that grew out of the 1940s was a Shiraz Cabernet or a Cabernet Shiraz. Very little Cabernet was grown in Australia in the 1940s which may seem surprising since the large and grand French region of Bordeaux is based on Cabernet Sauvignon and associated more detail...

WORDS FROM DAVID FARMER

'We welcome any customer but you will enjoy the best of Glug if you like to see what nature brings. We make small batch lots, hence no two wines will be the same, as we are happiest when preserving the differences of wines. What we do best is buying at the farm gate and challenging our customers just a little with the many small variations we discover and create in our winemaking.'
