Glaetzer 'Bishop' Shiraz Unit:Single

Glaetzer 'Bishop' Shiraz Unit:SingleProducer "Glaetzer Bishop is a true expression of Barossa Shiraz that is elegantly structured with a long finish. Exceptional fruit from old vines (35 to 120 years) was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley. Yields were 3 tonnes per hectare. Fermented in 1 and 2 tonne open fermenters. Extended maceration was employed to enable good tannin development so the wine is soft and approachable early. Matured

It was always the intent for this blend to be Grenache dominant (at least 50%) and now having worked with these varieties in the vineyard for 10 years we are convinced more than ever that this is such an important aspect
