Ben Glaetzer’s label turns 25 this year, and these two 2019 flagships are a great way to celebrate this Baron of the Barossa’s mastery of his art. The Ebenezer sub-region in the valley’s north has a monumental reputation for old-vine excellence that belies its size (just one square mile). And that’s thanks to Ben and those growers, like Adrian Hoffmann, who are spot-on with the quality and character of the fruit. Exceptional old-vine Shiraz 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. Fermented in one- and two-tonne open fermenters, hand-plunged three 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. From 50–130yo vines in Ebenezer. Matured 16 months in new 95% French and 5% American oak barrels; unfiltered. Gloss and polish of superb black fruits, framed in superfine tannins are Ben Glaetzer’s hallmarks. He continues to hone his talent at sustaining brightness and freshness, even in northern Barossa Shiraz of monumental proportions. This represents one of his finest works yet. Bitter dark chocolate oak holds an enticing finish that ricochets with inky black fruits and licorice. 96 points. Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion 2022 Read More
