Colin Glaetzer and his son (and winemaking whizz) Ben (also see MITOLO) have actually lifted the quality of their very own wines in current vintages. Grapes come from unirrigated vineyards in the south australia wine guide 2015 kia Ebenezer district of the Barossa Valley. The top wines are now very very good indeed, not the blockbusters of previous but more sophisticated, expressive wines with at least a suggestion of terroir. Tiny quantities are manufactured of Amon-Ra, an unfiltered Shiraz generated from a hundred yr old vines and aged in French and American oak. Really concentrated and quite intense, it has a wonderful fruit expression with plum, carob, blackberry and preserved black fruits but above all is quite full and very classy – most effective with at least 5-ten years age. A lot more cost-effective are Bishop Shiraz and Wallace Shiraz/Grenache. These are supple and characterful with lots of fruit, the latter virtually like a Côtes du Rhône. Anaperenna, made because 04 and at first labelled Godolphin, is a Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon blend (70/thirty) that is incredibly ripe, concentrated and highly effective, needing at least six years age.
