Glaetzer
One of Australia's busiest and most demanded contract winemakers, Ben Glaetzer is the winemaking inspiration behind this series of Barossa reds. His style is rich, ripe and generous, as he seeks a sumptuous presence of fruit and polished oak supported by a silky cut of fine tannin. The wines from the warm 2013 show the richness, opulence and smoothness of the Glaetzer house style. I think the cabernet component of the Anaperenna helps it soak its 15.5% alcohol rather better than the 100% shiraz Amon-Ra. The Bishop is precisely what you'd expect from this label in a ripe season.
