It’s a 79% and 21% Shiraz and Cabernet blend from the Barossa. In both cases the fruit comes off a mix of 30 year to more than 100 year old vines from the Ebenezer subregion of the Barossa. The concentration and intensity of the fruit has enabled Glaetzer to use all new oak with a mix of mostly French and 8% American. The fruit was excellent but the craftsmanship to draw the best out of it is superb. Balanced and poised with that subregional rusty iron filings character a distinctive enhancing influence. There’s a beautiful but not overplayed sweetness on the palate with the fine chalky tannins working precisely.
