Medium-bodied with distinctively earthy/leathery tones to the strawberry and red cherry fruit

Rainfall turned off like a tap at the end of September 2023

as it drives forward with tremendous urgency

with the fruit remaining in the tank for 19 days before pressing

providing valuable time for the wine to rest and mature constructing complexity and pomp

Glaetzer Bishop Shiraz 2022 s-c-pannell Medium-bodied with distinctively earthy/leathery tonesGlaetzer Bishop: a celebration of Barossa Shiraz. Grown on the Ebenezer vineyard on 35 to 120 year old vines with a yield of 3 tonnes per hectare. The wine was fermented in 1 and 2 tonne open fermenters, with extended maceration to enable good tannin and development. This softened the wine and allowed it to be approached early. It was matured for 16 months in a mix of 40% new oak and 60% 2 to 3 year old oak hogshead barrels (90% French, 10% American).
