From 35-120o vines, open-fermented, post-ferment maceration, matured for 15 months in 40% new hogsheads, 90% French, 10% American. Deep crimson-purple; a complex wine, both in terms of its savoury flavours and its texture. Black fruits provide the core of the palate, with graphite, earth and tannins all on parade. It has absorbed and totally integrated the oak, which suits the wine to a T.

Glaetzer Bishop is a true expression of Barossa Shiraz that is elegantly structured with a long finish.
Bishop is the family name of Colin's wife' Judith. Fittingly the sign of Venus, a symbol which has come to represent women and feminine energy, is the centrepiece of the Bishop label.
2016 was a magnificent vintage in the Barossa Valley, one of the best in recent memory. Vivid, amazingly youthful, vibrant wine, lifted aromas of mulberries, raspberries and a hint of spice. Complex nose. Typical Ebenezer softness on the palate if very evident, but also a soft tannin structure and long lingering finish. One of the best Bishops Ben Glaetzer made.
