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.

In mythology, the symbol meant the Roman goddess Venus or her Greek equivalent Aphrodite. But the sign has also been linked back to ancient Egypt – a nod to Bishop’s link to Amon-Ra and Anaperenna.

The 2019 Shiraz Bishop from Barossa delivers good levels of concentration and complexity. Licorice and blackberry jam aromas are dusted with white pepper spice. Quite fleshy and approachable, supple tannins are well-balanced and deliver a solid finish, accented with savory, meaty tones. Drinking well and will continue to do so for another five years.

The 2019 Bishop Shiraz is all Shiraz and all from the Ebenezer district of the northern Barossa Valley. Aged almost exclusively in second, third and fourth use oak (mostly French), it features slight herbal overtones to the black cherry and black olive notes. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, supple, generous and reasonably concentrated, folding in hints of peppery spice and mocha shadings on the velvety, mouthwatering finish. Anticipated Maturity: 2021-2030
