Mission Codename Shirazzmatazz!
We were very impressed with today’s beautiful Glaetzer Wines 2012 Bishop Barossa Valley Shiraz. So impressed that Agent Red got his hands on every bottle that he could.
Today’s wine is exceptionally elegant, especially for an Aussie Shiraz. It is elegant, but it also possesses the Shiraz-characteristic oomph and pizzaz that we’ve come to expect from the varietal.
This delicious wine was made by renowned Australian winemaker Ben Glaetzer, whose minimal manipulation philosophy has allowed the fruit and terroir to really shine through. If you love great Shiraz, you will not be disappointed with today’s very highly recommended wine.
