The Glaetzer mission is to focus, simply on the production of small-volume, super premium Barossa Valley wine. The company holds a firm belief that the wines are made in the vineyard - a combination of the French notion terroir and Australian vineyard site knowledge.
Glaetzer Bishop is a true expression of Barossa Shiraz that is elegantly structured with a long finish. Exceptional old-vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley. Vine age 35 - 120 years old. The 2019 Glaetzer Bishop Shiraz is vibrant purple in the glass, with hints of cut plum, dried spice and dark chocolate. It has great mid-palate freshness with flavours of blackcurrant and mocha. Finely tuned tannins provide structure and length.
"The 2019 Bishop Shiraz is all Shiraz and all from the Ebenezer district of the northern Barossa Valley. Aged almost exclusively in second, third and fourth use oak (mostly French), it features slight herbal overtones to the black cherry and black olive notes. It’s medium to full-bodied on the palate, supple, generous and reasonably concentrated, folding in hints of peppery spice and mocha shadings on the velvety, mouthwatering finish. 91 points"- Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate September 2021.
