2009 Glaetzer Bishop Barossa Shiraz
2009 Glaetzer Bishop Barossa Shiraz
|
|
Although the backbone of this full bodied, elegant wine is the exceptional fruit from dry grown vines of Ebenezer vineyards in the northern Barossa Valley- the same shiraz fruit used for Amon Ra and Anaperenna- the Bishop has tended to be overshadowed by its more famous sister wines. They have now changed the label to more aptly reflect the commitment to the Bishop and its a superb drop.
Its sourced from 60-year-old vines and aged for 14 months in used French and American oak.
"The 2009 Bishop Shiraz is 100% Shiraz coming from 35-120 year vines. It was aged 14
months in oak: 30% new, 90% French and 10% American. Deep garnet-purple in color, it has
pronounced pepper and spice aromas over blackberries and black currant plus a bit of
Mediterranean herbs. Full-bodied, crisp with just enough flesh, it has firm fine tannins and a
long finish." R.Parker
