Glaetzer Shiraz 2004
Product Description
Colin Glaetzer established his own label to create wines he’s passionate about - limited quantities of benchmark Barossa Valley reds. Colin and his winemaker son Ben both firmly believe that great wines are made in the vineyard, and exceptional fruit from a loyal group of third and fourth generation Barossa grape growers is the backbone of Glaetzer wines. With minimal intervention, Colin and Ben make the unique, elegant wines which are regarded as classics and unmistakably Barossa Valley.
Glaetzer Shiraz is the family's flagship wine. This limited production, luxury wine is made exclusively with premium fruit sourced from 80 to 115 year-old, dry grown vines in the Northern Ebenezer district of the Barossa. This is a powerful, rich wine which blends intensity with the Glaetzer hallmarks of complexity and elegance. A food-friendly wine, Glaetzer Shiraz is dark purple in color, with some hints of red. A brooding nose which takes time in the glass to evolve. Initially showing cracked pepper, mulberry and wisps of earthy spice the wine shows a multitude of aromas after breathing to display ripe plums and crushed herbs. The palate has supple tannin structure which supports masses of briary fruit and rich chocolate and roasted coffee flavors. The wine will age well for 10 years.
