Glaetzer Bishop Shiraz
Barossa
Available in cartons of six
Only ever made in the finest vintage years, the backbone of this substantive Shiraz is exceptional old vine fruit from a qabal of famed, gnarled and dry grown Barossa vineyards at Ebenezer. Bishop is assembled from components which are up front and generous, showing animated, youthful characters, as opposed to the more restrained and structured components of the sibling Glaetzers. These old veterans are young at heart, a coterie of old, very old and ancient blocks, up to a hundred and thirty years of age, are called upon to make a contribution towards the Bishop.

Bishop is the maiden name of the estate matriarch. The Bishops hail from Mount Gambier, whence Judith's mother was the first female mayor in Australian political history. From vines up to 120 years of age and averaging 60, grown to the Glaetzer estate's Ebenezer parcels, vinified and assembled into the final wine alongside batches of very old vine fruit from distinguished growers. Vinified in 1½ to 2 tonne open fermenters, hand plunged two to three times daily. Extended maceration achieves good tannin development which makes the wine soft and approachable. Selected batches are treated to barrel fermentation, followed by sixteen months in a high proportion of new French oak hogsheads.
 
Deep garnet colour. Aromas of liquorice, violets and clove, mulberries and cassis. Opulent flavours on the palate, dark fruits and freshly cut plum are beautifully balanced by firm, velvety tannins from ageing in French and American oak. Refinement, elegance and solid structure, Bishop is rich voluptuous and mouth filling, with spicey fruit characters and a long elegant finish.
Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache
Barossa
Available by the dozen
Wallace is the ancestral name of Colin Gaetzer's wife, whose family hail from the old market town of Cupar in Fife. Judith's Celtic ancestry is reflected in the three elements of the Wallace label, a thistle, the cross and the arcane Celtic knot. Wallace takes on the traditional Barossa mix of Shiraz and Grenache in a thoroughly modern way. Few winemakers understand old vines fruit as well as Barons of the Barossa Ben and Colin Glaetzer, as they fashion Wallace into a comforting and indulgent mix of old world charm, dark forest fruits, cigarbox and spice.

From a small sub region of the northern Barossa Valley called Ebenezer. The viticulture is standard single wire, with permanent arm and rod and spur. Plantings aged sixty to eighty years are trained onto a trellis for ease of pruning, harvest and disease/ frost control. Vines are subject to smart canopy management, daily monitoring of fruit quality and flavour development is essential. Parcels are harvested separately in short breaks. Glaetzer know that Grenache does not handle oak well, choosing to vinify and mature the Grenache in fermenters to retain freshness and animation of fruit. The Shiraz component is aged sixteen months in a selection of two to three year old French and American oak hogsheads.
 
Deep garnet red. Rich, peppery old vine Shiraz dominates, a hint of of dark cherry from the Grenache contributes an attractive floral lift to the nose. The palate is rich and full yet supple and fresh, Shiraz provides backbone, body and flesh, Grenache brings complex tannins and fresh acidity, while adding soft, vibrant juiciness. Textural tannin components are supported by lively notes of plum and hints of cassis.
Gomersal Barossa Reserve Shiraz
Barossa
Available by the dozen
In 2000, a group of enthusiasts who shared a passion for making and imbibing in wine were inspired to breathe life into an old, run down operation in the small western district of Gomersal. The forty two acres of low yielding vines now deliver a limited yield of Shiraz each vintage, a precious harvest of grapes exhibiting remarkable concentration and intensity of flavour. Working amongst the vines and sampling berries as the growing season reaches climax, picking never commences until the team are completely satisfied that complete ripeness has been achieved.

The Gomersal philosophy is to make wines which are the purest and most honest reflection of the vineyard. Minimal intervention, judicious use of oak and maximum flavour are the goals. A range of soils vary dramatically throughout the property. Clay over calcerte and slate bedrock, moving to more weathered slate at the bottom of an ancient glacier. Over the hill, soils are deep, sandy loam and black clays. East to west slopes with predominantly north to south rows, bush vines grow east to west on a south facing slope. This tapestry of terroir infuses subtle complexities in the grapes, which are retained throughout the vinification process and ultimately contribute to the splendour of the finished wines.
 
Deep scarlet, purple hued. Mint and fennel characters to the bouquet, aniseed and mulberry, bitumen and soot. Chocolate and licorice aromas lead to a robust palate of blackberry, black olives and cherry heering. Gomersal finishes with lovely balanced tannins and firm acidity. Match with char grilled roo fillets, marinated backstrap or saltbush hogget.
