Glaetzer Amon Ra Shiraz 2022
Only
$89.00
"100% Old vine Shiraz. The Amon-Ra epitomises Ben Glaetzer’s passion to create wines that are full-flavoured, multi-layered and intense but still elegant, stylish and finely balanced. A mix of power and delicacy. Dark fruit notes abound, counterpoised by elegant spice and herb notes. It is a wine that will develop beautiful with long term cellaring through to 2050. To put it delicately, it's a bloody ripper.
Exceptional old vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley. Vine age 50-130 years old. Yield 2 tonnes per hectare.
The wine is fermented in 1 and 2 tonne open fermenters and hand plunged 3 times daily. Matured for 16 months in 100% new oak hogshead barrels (95% French and 5% American) and matured on lees to maintain fruit profile and animation. Bottled unfiltered to ensure minimal intervention with the wine’s natural characteristics.
In Egyptian mythology, Amon-Ra is considered to be the king of all gods. The temple of Amon-Ra was believed to be the first temple to ever plant a monoculture vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple."
