Glaetzer Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet 750ml

Exceptional old-vine fruit grown in the famed Ebenezer sub-district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley. The Shiraz (84% of the blend) is from vines aged 30—100 years old; the Cabernet Sauvignon (16%) is from vines aged 30—130 years old. Yields are 2.5 tonnes per hectare.

The fruit was fermented in one- and two-tonne open fermenters and hand-plunged three times daily. The wine was matured for 16 months in 100% new oak hogshead barrels (92% French and 8% American) and matured on lees to maintain fruit profile and animation. The wine is bottled unfiltered to ensure minimal intervention with the wine’s natural characteristics. - Ben Glaetzer
