Glaetzer Bishop Shiraz 2014
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaWinemaker Ben Glaetzer pulls from 90 to 95-year-old, dry farmed shiraz vines for his Bishop. The fruit is aged in mostly French barrels of which about 40 percent are new each year. Open top fermenters and hand plunging 2-3 times per day adds a softness to his wines that makes them more approachable in their youth. Look for the signature Ebenezer style, opulent dark fruit with a savoury spicy undercurrent. The attack is fresh, the acidity in check with supple, velvety tannins awash in black cherry, creamy blueberry, red licorice fruit. Glaetzer battle frosts and searing heat spikes but in the end manage to make a very good Bishop in 2014.
