Awards
Robert Parker 2023 Wine Advocate Review Erin Larkin - 94+ Points: Glaetzer Anaperenna
2021: “The 2021 Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is from the highly anticipated 2021 vintage, one typified by a cool, long, even ripening period and very little disease pressure. Yields were up on the monstrously low 2019/2020 seasons, a relief for producers. The oak stands proudly atop this wine, and the fruit is a little reductive upon opening; however, the cool flow of flavour across the tongue is sensational. This is glossy, complete and saturated in red and purple fruits. The 2021 is sitting so pert and frisky at this stage – I’m pretty sure, having just looked at the 2020 (and loved it), that this needs a little time to come together. Drink Date 2024 – 2034”
Robert Parker 2022 Wine Advocate Review Erin Larkin - 96 Points: Glaetzer Anaperenna 2020: “The 2020 Anaperenna Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon pours an iridescent magenta in the glass. On the nose, there are layers of sweet vanilla oak, raspberries at the height of the season, fresh liquorice root, star anise, fresh cut fennel and cracked black peppercorns. In the mouth, the wine is silky, full-bodied and unfurling – the quality of the fruit sourcing shines through as the flavours linger on the finish. There’s a brightness and energy here that I have found in many of the 2020 reds from Barossa (which is interesting, given the continuation of low yields and drought conditions, suggesting perhaps clever, adaptive viticulture at the fore). There’s a friskiness that suggests a decant would be highly advisable. This is a ripper of a wine.”
Robert Parker 2021 Wine Advocate Review Joe Czerwinski - 95 Points - Glaetzer Anaperenna 2019: “The 2019 Anaperenna Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon is an 84-16 blend, all sourced from the northern end of the Barossa Valley. Bottled in October 2020 and scheduled to be released in October 2021, it features lovely lift and delicate herbal nuances on the nose, plus hints of red and black currants and blackberries. Full-bodied and supple, it’s also crisp, long and velvety on the finish, picking up delicious nuances of vanilla, dark chocolate and bright, fresh fruit. “
James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2021 Edition - 96 Points - Gold – Glaetzer Anaperenna
2018: “82% shiraz (30-100yo vines), 18% cabernet sauvignon (30-130yo vines) yielding 2.5t/ha, open-fermented, hand-plunged, matured for 16 months in new hogsheads (92% French, 8% American). Full-bodied, plum blackberry, supple tannin, good oak. Easy to argue this is too cheap.”

Ben has previously won the Qantas Young Winemaker of the Year and in 2005, he was inducted as the youngest ever member of the Barons of the Barossa, a special Wine Fraternity of industry personalities.
Tasting Notes: The colour is deep inky red with purple hues. An explosion of brooding dark tones with bright cassis and coffee bean hints. Subtle richness with flavours of dark plum and blackberry intermingled with dark chocolate and dried spice. Generous yet restrained tannin provides exceptional palate length and persistence.
Awards:
Robert Parker 2023 Wine Advocate Review Erin Larkin - 92 Points: Glaetzer Bishop 2021 - “The 2021 Bishop Shiraz is pristine, supple and concentrated. There are layers of mulberry, raspberry and salted liquorice (red liquorice, too) in the mouth, shaped by fine, pliable tannins. It is bendy like high-jump poles. This is really great value for money. It is reliably high quality, delivering a modern, satisfying Barossa experience. What more do you want?
Robert Parker 2022 Wine Advocate Review Erin Larkin - 92 Points: Glaetzer Bishop 2020: “This 2020 Bishop Shiraz is a saturating and pure example of Barossa Shiraz, from a warm, compacted and low yielding vintage. The wine in the glass is the very essence of Barossa, with red, earthy tannins, spicy/toasty oak and a fruit profile that spans red, purple and black. Really well done. Delicious. Drink Date 2022 – 2032.”
Robert Parker 2021 Wine Advocate Review Joe Czerwinski - 91 Points – Glaetzer Bishop 2019: “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.”

Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache 2021
Region: Australia, Barossa Valley
Grape variety: Shiraz & Grenache
Background: A family-owned boutique winery producing premium Barossa Valley wines. Ben Glaetzer makes unique, elegant wines which are treated as classics. Ben has previously won the Qantas Young Winemaker of the Year and in 2005, he was inducted as the youngest ever member of the Barons of the Barossa, a special Wine Fraternity of industry personalities. Wallace is an ancestral name of Colin's wife, Judith, whose family hail from the old market town of Cupar in Fife, Scotland. Judith's Celtic ancestry is reflected in the three elements of the Wallace symbol - the Celtic cross, thistle and the Celtic knot pattern.
Tasting notes: Bright red purple in colour. Grenache once again provides an intense strawberry lift with touches of cherry, minerals and spice. The Shiraz component provides structure to the wine and tightens the confectionary notes of the Grenache. Overall a pure, vibrant blend displaying freshness and animation.
Awards
Robert Parker 2023 Wine Advocate Review Erin Larkin - 92 Points: Glaetzer Wallace 2021 - “ The 2021 Wallace Shiraz Grenache pours a vibrant, refulgent fuchsia in the glass.

Epic value for money. This is fresher, finer and more alive than the 2020 offering. Lovely stuff! Drink Date 2023 – 2030”
Robert Parker 2022 Wine Advocate Review Erin Larkin - 91 Points: Glaetzer Wallace 2020: “I’m a purist and prefer either Shiraz or Grenache – not blended. However, there is no doubt that together the two varieties make for light hearted pleasure. And that is the case here with the 2020 Wallace Shiraz Grenache. There’s a blue, boysenberry character here, juicy, raspberry, black tea and peppercorns. Delicious. Drink Date 2022 – 2032”

Heartland Directors Cut Shiraz 2021
Region: Australia, Langhorne Creek
Grape Variety: Shiraz
Background: A collaboration of industry veterans Ben Glaetzer, Scott Collet, Grant Tilbrook and Nick Keukenmeester who have developed Heartland into an award-winning winery, since producing the first vintage in 2001. They embrace the best Australian fruits and create wines of balance and texture with a uniquely Australian identity.
Tasting Notes: The deep colour gives a clue to the concentration of aromas and flavours to follow. Dark cherry and blackberry fruit dominate the nose with undercurrents of black liquorice and pepper. The palate brings to mind a berry compote enriched by elusive hints of spice. Directors’ Cut Shiraz is famous for its poise and balance and this vintage is no exception.
Reviews:
Rating 94 James Halliday Wine Companion, July 26, 2014: "Thick oak and thick dark fruit. Shoot first, ask questions later. Coconut, chocolate, mint and toast notes are slathered on saturated blackberry and plum. Tannin is not impeccable but it roars through the wine with impressive force. Big-boned, big-bodied wine."
Rating 4.5/5 Tony Love's TOP 100 Wines, The Advertiser Special Edition, July 19, 2014: "From older vineyards in a crackingly good regional vintage, this shows a bit of oak, but it's very good French wood, adding pepper, anise and nutmeg-like spices to accentuate the shiraz aromatics with earthy and mineral layers also in play. Flavour, flavour, flavour - delicious, intense and sophisticated."

Grape Variety: Shiraz
Background: The Barossa is famous for its viticulture, history and winemaking dating back to the 1840s. At its heart is the Valley Floor, a highly-prized strip of viticultural land which is the very foundation and forms the essence of this wine. A true taste of the Barossa.
Langmeil’s history dates back to 1842 and the winery now draws on Barossa’s cultural beginnings and combines it with world-class winemaking. Its flagship, Freedom Shiraz, comes from what is believed to be the oldest Shiraz vines in the world, dating back to 1843. Old Barossan vines are a trademark of the winery, as are Chief Winemaker, Paul Lindner’s minimal intervention techniques.
Aging: 15% new American oak, 85% seasoned American and French oak hogsheads. Twenty-four months spent in oak.
Tasting Notes: Medium to deep crimson with purple hues. Rich and lifted aromas of Satsuma plum, mulberry and floral notes mingle with sweet spice, chocolate and savoury hints. Rich, plumy fruit and sweet spice balanced by soft velvety tannins. A complex, medium to full bodied wine showing hints of mocha, bramble and vanilla which flow through to the lengthy, fruity, peppery and spicy finish.
Food Pairing: Stir-fried beef with basil, American style slow cooked ribs, Sunday roast, and mature cheddar.

Woodstock Muscat 375ml
Region: Australia, McLaren Vale
Grape variety: Red Frontignac, White Frontignac, Shiraz & Grenache
Background: Started by the late Doug Collet in 1973, Woodstock in McLaren Vale has always had an eye on the future. As well as red, white and rose wines, Woodstock has a ken focus on fortified wines too. When his son and current owner, Scott took over in 1982, the tradition has continued with fine wine making from the old vines on the property. Ben Glaetzer is now the chief winemaker with Scott managing vines – a winning team as shown by the Heartland range.
With a sweet tooth, and a passion for capturing grape flavours, winemaker Scott Collett started fortifying sweet Muscat styles in 1984. Scott would crush almost raisined, highly aromatic grapes of Muscat and Frontignac varieties to end the vintage after all the other wines were made. Pure grape spirit was added soon after ferment started, making perfumed, luscious wine of about 18% alcohol.
Although the average age of this Muscat is around 15 years, the youngest is 5 and the oldest is 25 years old when bottled. With barrel maturation, the wine becomes even sweeter as some evaporates to the “angel’s share”, and the caramel and toffee flavours grow. Colour slowly settles out of the wine during aging. A portion of younger Muscat adds aromatic fruit aroma and flavour to freshen up the complex aged components
Tasting notes: Raisin characters on the nose with orange zest aromas and a glimpse of Christmas pudding evident. Decadent, luscious lingering toffee and grape sweetness tempts the sweet tooth in you. This wine was deliberately bottled unfiltered to retain its viscosity and fullness.

Region: Australia, McLaren Vale
Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Background: Started by the late Doug Collet in 1973, Woodstock in McLaren Vale has always had an eye on the future. As well as red, white and rose wines, Woodstock has a ken focus on fortified wines too. When his son and current owner, Scott took over in 1982, the tradition has continued with fine wine making from the old vines on the property. Ben Glaetzer is now the chief winemaker with Scott managing vines – a winning team as shown by the Heartland range. Woodstock has enjoyed a strong reputation for Cabernet Sauvignon since 1982. Situated in the higher and cooler end of the Vale, Woodstock is the perfect home for the Cabernet Sauvignon variety. Warm, sunny days with cool gully and evening sea breezes ensure the Cabernet fruit ripens well and retains its natural acidity.
Winemaking Process: There are four blocks of Cabernet on the Estate... each providing a unique character to the wine. Low yielding old vines from our Honey Hut block provide palate weight, Block 3 vines provide a hearty backbone, our “Pineless” Block provides lifted berry characters enhanced by the Creek Block’s added leafiness. Yields range from 6 to 10 tonnes per hectare. Small berries with ample fermentation time on skins result in great colour and tannin structure. This wine was matured for just over 14 months in 13% new oak and the rest in 2 to 3 year old carefully selected American and French oak to provide softness and complexity.
Tasting Notes: Classic leafy Cabernet aromas, with alluring hints of cedar and spice bouquet. Evolving flavours of juicy blackberries, rhubarb, eucalypt, toasty oak and mint combine with a rich, fleshy middle palate to create a balanced, savoury finish that lingers. This wine has bright acid and firm yet elegant tannins, which provide complexity and roundness.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with osso-bucco, meat casseroles and goats cheese.
Review:
James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion 2013 - Rating 93: 'Strong purple-crimson; a generous, medium-bodied wine with bitter chocolate characters signalling the region, the black and redcurrant fruit even more enthusiastic with its message. Very attractive wine. Exceptional value.'

Region: Australia, McLaren Vale
Grape Variety: Shiraz
Background: Started by the late Doug Collet in 1973, Woodstock in McLaren Vale has always had an eye on the future. As well as red, white and rose wines, Woodstock has a ken focus on fortified wines too. When his son and current owner, Scott took over in 1982, the tradition has continued with fine wine making from the old vines on the property. Ben Glaetzer is now the chief winemaker with Scott managing vines – a winning team as shown by the Heartland range. Named after a set of medieval wooden leg stocks which stand in the town of Woodstock in Oxfordshire, England, “The Stocks” Shiraz is Woodstock’s flagship wine. This single vineyard Shiraz is made from 31 rows of low-yielding vines, planted circa 1900 on a sandy north slope of Woodstock Estate.
The old vines on sandy soils are inspected thoroughly during veraison each January; exposed bunches are removed to prevent sunburn and hidden bunches are thinned to ensure even ripening. Ideally, each remaining bunch will have about two leaves between them and the sun. Yields are deliberately kept low (average yield is about two bottles per vine) and the vineyard is essentially dry grown resulting in intense concentration of flavour. The Shiraz fruit is harvested at night to preserve the delicate berry flavours. The grapes are then crushed and cold soaked for 24-48 hours before fermentation in small open fermenters and hand plunged twice daily for at least 5 days. The wine is pressed and then finishes ferment in carefully selected old and new, French and American oak barrels in a temperature controlled cellar. Each barrel is monitored, and only the finest selected to continue the lineage of Woodstock ‘The Stocks’ Shiraz.
Aging: The wine is aged in carefully selected French and American oak barrels in a temperature controlled cellar for up to 18 months. Each barrel is monitored, and only the finest selected to continue the lineage of Woodstock ‘The Stocks’ Shiraz.
Tasting Notes: Deep, dark red colour with a purple tint. Plush, red and black fruits with a touch of dried spice and toasty oak on the nose. The palate is full-bodied yet soft, with ripe tannins and mid-palate fruit harmoniously balanced, which lead to a structured and complex finish. A wine that perfectly reflects its terroir, variety and region with elegance of fruit and well-integrated oak.

When his son and current owner, Scott took over in 1982, the tradition has continued with fine wine making from the old vines on the property. Ben Glaetzer is now the chief winemaker with Scott managing vines – a winning team as shown by the Heartland range.
Tasting Notes: Intense varietal red fruit notes include cherry and raspberry. The palate is broad and rich, allowing it to be more readily drunk in its youth.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with a selection of Spanish tapas or a nice smoked duck on the BBQ.

Heartland Stickleback Shiraz 2021/22
Region: Australia, Langhorne Creek
Grape Variety:
Background: A joint venture of industry veterans: winemakers Ben Glaetzer and Scott Collett, and wine industry management specialist Grant Tilbrook. Heartland uses grapes grown in the Limestone Coast and Langhorne Creek predominantly from vineyards owned by the partners. It currently exports 60% of its make to 38 international markets. The wines are principally contract-made at Barossa Vintners and represent excellent value for money. Ben Glaetzer makes wines for his family brand plus Mitolo in McLaren Vale and the Heartland wines from Langhorne Creek. Stickleback is Heartlandʼs entry-level red.
Tasting Notes: Made by one of Australia’s top winemakers – Ben Glaetzer - spiced plums, blueberries and black pepper. It has lush toasty, vanilla aromas coursing through the silky cassis fruit. Fantastic value for money. From Barossa's superstar winemaker Ben Glaetzer. If this is his entry level - you can imagine what Amon-Ra tastes like. Bright red in colour with fresh aromas of blackcurrant, dark fruits and herbal spice. Mouth filling flavours of plum and chocolate intermingle with subtle oak and smooth tannins. Showing aromas of spicy dark cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry with a whiff of licoricey, it is generously flavoured with fresh, dark berry fruits and dense, inky characters. Fine-grained tannins keep things in balance, leaving an aftertaste of spice, cloves and dark chocolate.
Food Pairing: Steak, cheeseburgers, roast boar and game burgers.

Heartland One Shiraz Cabernet 2016
Region: Australia, Langhorne Creek
Grape variety: Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon
Background: A collaboration of industry veterans Ben Glaetzer, Scott Collet, Grant Tilbrook and Nick Keukenmeester who have developed Heartland into an award-winning winery, since producing the first vintage in 2001. They embrace the best Australian fruits and create wines of balance and texture with a uniquely Australian identity.
Tasting notes: Dark fruit dominates the palate at this stage, while the structure is discernable and ready to support the wine.
The intensity of this wine provides all the impetus required for long term cellaring, while the deft handling of oak and the finely tuned acidity will ensure that it stays on track to be a balanced and generous wine.
Reviews
Score: 95/100 - Ray Jordan - Wine Pilot: Good vintage, classy wine. A compelling combination. This excellent blend of cabernet and shiraz from the 2016 vintage is only just, and ever so just, starting to see some initial development. But it is so far from where it will finish. Rich and smooth dark chocolate and dark fruit characters merge seamlessly with the cedary oak and fine chalky tannins. There's a slightly liqueur fruit thing happening there. A great example of what this region can do, amply demonstrating the virtues of blending these two varieties.
Points: 95/100 - Tyson Stelzer: Ben Glaetzer has long championed Shiraz Cabernet blends in the Barossa, and has tactically highlighted Cabernet to take the lead in his Langhorne Creek flagship. Redcurrants pop with crunchy acidity, gently accented with regional menthol, well married with the plush blueberries of Shiraz. Expertly deployed oak brings dark chocolate to the union, fixing an impressively fine, confident tannin frame that confirms both persistence and endurance.

Food Pairing: This Cabernet Sauvignon pairs well with dishes that contain poultry, beef and lamb.
Reviews
Ken Gargett - Wine Pilot - 94 Points: "Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 - Another superb Langhorne Creek red, this is all class. Old vine Cabernet is harvested at night in order not to lose any freshness. Initial skin contact and seven days cool ferment on the same yeasts as used for the Shiraz. The wine is hand-plunged three times daily. Maturation then occurs in oak hogsheads, 75% new, for 14 months. Ben Glaetzer has been quoted as suggesting that this might be the finest vintage he has experienced from the region. It shows. Opaque red in colour, this has notes of dried herbs, leather and animal skins with tobacco leaf, blackberries and cloves. Seamless, juicy and concentrated, it is finely balanced with satiny tannins. Gorgeous on the palate. This is fabulous stuff now but has many years ahead of it, if you prefer hiding some away in the cellar."
Tony Love - Halliday Wine Companion - 94 Points: "Ripe cabernet aromas from the outset. A full-bodied and chocolate-rich palate, fleshy and grapey as well. There's a blueberry and licorice pop to the mid palate as the wine opens with a little time in a decanter. Will gather more interest in its expression over the next 5 years."

Woodstock Old Fortified Tawny Style NV 375ml
Region: Australia, McLaren Vale
Grape variety: Grenache & Shiraz
Background: Started by the late Doug Collet in 1973, Woodstock in McLaren Vale has always had an eye on the future. As well as red, white and rose wines, Woodstock has a ken focus on fortified wines too. When his son and current owner, Scott took over in 1982, the tradition has continued with fine wine making from the old vines on the property. Ben Glaetzer is now the chief winemaker with Scott managing vines – a winning team as shown by the Heartland range.
Winemaking process: The fermenting juice of ripe Grenache and Shiraz are drained off their skins when about half of the natural sugars have fermented by yeast creating about 8% alcohol. Enough pure grape spirit is then added (“Fortifying” the wine) to an alcohol level of 18.5%. Aging this in small old barrels oxidises the colours and grape flavours and concentrates the sugars, acids and rancio flavours, making a luscious style. The alcohol content rises some more during this process and finishes at about 19%.
Tasting notes: Medium amber in colour with aromas of caramel, figs and hints of cinnamon. Intense, luscious flavours with persistent nutty caramel aftertaste. Fine spirit characters balance the sweetness producing an elegant and lengthy finish. A fine, fruity yet soft “Tawny Port” style made by Scott Collett.
Reviews: James Halliday Australian Wine Companion - 2017 Edition Woodstock Old Fortified - Rating: 92 - 'Crushed and destemmed, matured in new and used American and French oak for 18 months. Full golden-brown; nutty, spicy, sweet Christmas cake with a surge of fruit on the finish, dry rather than cloyingly sweet.'

Glaetzer Amon-Ra Shiraz 2010/08/06 NOT FOR SALE - TASTING ONLY
Region: Australia, Barossa Valley
Grape Variety: Shiraz
Background: A family-owned boutique winery producing premium Barossa Valley wines. Ben Glaetzer makes unique, elegant wines which are treated as classics. Ben has previously won the Qantas Young Winemaker of the Year and in 2005, he was inducted as the youngest ever member of the Barons of the Barossa, a special Wine Fraternity of industry personalities.
Amon-Ra Shiraz is an iconic wine that epitomises Ben Glaetzer’s passion to create wines that are full flavoured, multi layered and intense but still elegant, stylish and finely balanced. In Egyptian mythology, Amon Ra is considered to be the king of all gods. The temple of Amon Ra was believed to be the first temple to ever plant a monoculture vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple. The eye on front of the label is the all seeing eye of Horus or wedjat (“whole one”) – a powerful Egyptian symbol of protection. It is represented as a figure with six parts, corresponding to what Egyptians regarded as the six senses; touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell and thought.
Ben Glaetzer created Amon Ra Shiraz to appeal to all these six senses.
Tasting Notes: This is Ben Glaetzer’s flagship wine and highlights the balance between the fruit and tannins. Darkly concentrated and rich, yet poised and elegant. Notes of black cherry, black liquorice and blackcurrant lead to an impressive long finish.

Langmeil Blacksmith Cabernet Sauvignon 2017
Region: Australia, Barossa Valley
Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Background: In 1842 a 32 year-old Blacksmith, Christian Auricht, arrived from Prussia with his wife and four children. He settled in the new hamlet of Langmeil and built a blacksmith shop, around which grew the trading area of the village and provides the aesthetics for the winery to this day. The artisan of iron has now made way for the new craftsman who has blended the oldest of Barossa traditions to forge this spectacular wine. Our Cabernet Sauvignon, the unsung hero of Barossa wine, has been matured for almost two years, achieving the structure, depth and balance expected from this premium Australian grape growing region.
Tasting notes: Medium to deep crimson with purple hues. Lifted blueberries, black currants, and black olive dominate the aroma with lovely cedar and hints of sweet spice adding to the complexity. Bright and juicy berry fruits coat the palate and mingle with brambly spice, hints of black olive and anise. Medium to full body with velvety, fine, grape and oak tannins add to the structure and flow onto the long, fruitful and spicy finish.

He settled in the new hamlet of Langmeil and built a blacksmith shop, around which grew the trading area of the village and provides the aesthetics for the winery to this day. The artisan of iron has now made way for the new craftsman who has blended the oldest of Barossa traditions to forge this spectacular wine. Our Cabernet Sauvignon, the unsung hero of Barossa wine, has been matured for almost two years, achieving the structure, depth and balance expected from this premium Australian grape growing region.
Tasting notes: Medium to deep crimson with purple hues. Lifted blueberries, black currants, and black olive dominate the aroma with lovely cedar and hints of sweet spice adding to the complexity. Bright and juicy berry fruits coat the palate and mingle with brambly spice, hints of black olive and anise. Medium to full body with velvety, fine, grape and oak tannins add to the structure and flow onto the long, fruitful and spicy finish.

Background: Langmeil’s history dates back to 1842 and the winery now draws on Barossa’s cultural beginnings and combines it with world-class winemaking.

Rich, sweet fruit is balanced wonderfully with briary and sweet spices and lovely, silky tannins. A full-bodied, textural wine, showing great complexity with hints of cedar and allspice flowing through to the lengthy, brambly fruit finish.

Woodstock Scott Collett Shiraz Cabernet 2015
Region: Australia, McLaren Vale
Grape variety: Shiraz & Cabernet Sauvignon
Background: Started by the late Doug Collet in 1973, Woodstock in McLaren Vale has always had an eye on the future. As well as red, white and rose wines, Woodstock has a ken focus on fortified wines too. When his son and current owner, Scott took over in 1982, the tradition has continued with fine wine making from the old vines on the property. Ben Glaetzer is now the chief winemaker with Scott managing vines – a winning team as shown by the Heartland range.
Tasting notes: The colour is deep, dark red with an almost black centre, yet still visible bright, youthful hues on the edges. Satsuma Plums, blueberries, blackberries, beetroot and a hint of rhubarb aromas. Savoury toasted spice characters of anise, cloves and cardamom, seamlessly mingle with mouth-watering hints of fennel, caraway and min on the nose, with just a speckle of pepper.
These characters follow through on to the palate, with a fine structured vanilla oak base providing a holding pattern for the flavours to be held up generously. Elegant yet firm tannins from Cabernet Sauvignon provide a sophisticated backbone, whilst fleshy Shiraz enriches the body and blossoms in the mouth, providing warm enriching and powerful flavours. The texture is powerful with great structure and definition in its youth, this full textured wine will evolve over time and reward with more complex flavours.

Woodstock Scott Collett Shiraz Cabernet 2015

Woodstock Cottage Block Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Australia McLaren Vale
Grape Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Background: Started by the late Doug Collet in 1973, Woodstock in McLaren Vale has always had an eye on the future. As well as red, white and rose wines, Woodstock has a ken focus on fortified wines too. When his son and current owner, Scott took over in 1982, the tradition has continued with fine wine making from the old vines on the property. Ben Glaetzer is now the chief winemaker with Scott managing vines – a winning team as shown by the Heartland range.
Woodstock Estate was purchased by the Collett Family in 1973, upon which stood a small 19th century cottage. Nestled in amongst the eucalypt trees, an old orchard and a small amount of vineyards, this cottage has been home to various members of the Collett family for nearly 50 years, while the winery and vineyards have gradually developed in the surrounding land. 43 rows of Cabernet Sauvignon vines were planted next to this cottage in 1976, replacing an old orchard. Since then, this Cabernet has thrived, producing bold wine with natural acidity and firm tannin structure.
This wine pays homage to the old Woodstock cottage and the vineyards surrounding it.
Winemaking Process: The 45 year old Cottage Block Cabernet Sauvignon vines produce small bunches of sparse little marble-like berries. We harvest the fruit just prior to achieving full ripeness, ensuring that a degree of herbaceous varietal character is retained in our wine. The fruit is destemmed and crushed into stainless steel fermenters where it remains to ferment for approximately 5 days, pumped over twice daily. This results in great colour and tannin structure without bitterness or over extracted character. Maturation in seasoned oak hogsheads allows tannins to soften over time, providing richness and complexity. McLaren Vale is famous for generous middle-palate flavours in Shiraz, but this character also shines through in this Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes: Bold tannin and unexpected mid - palate richness. The wine shows distinctive blackcurrant and subtle mulberry on the nose with hints of herbaceous tomato leaf character. The palate provides a harmonious balance between bright purple fruit and chocolate with mature oak derived savoury olive tapenade - like complexity.
Food Pairing: This wine has soft enough tannins to drink on its own but will work equally well with grilled flavours.

Glaetzer Eye Of Ra Shiraz 2018
Region: Australia, Barossa Valley
Grape Variety: Shiraz
Background: The Eye of Ra is an ultra-premium Shiraz that reflects Ben Glaetzer’s aspiration to make the perfect wine. A wine with astounding power and complexity countered by exemplary elegance. In Egyptian mythology, The Eye of Ra was the powerful feminine counterpart to the sun god Ra. The Eye’s forceful protective deeds were celebrated alongside its nurturing life giving gifts to Egypt. The symbol depicts the sun surrounded by protective cobras and wings.
Tasting Notes: The Eye of Rã Shiraz offers a bouquet of radiant intensity with masses of wild herbs, spiced plum and a cornucopia of blackberry and cedar scents. Showing astounding depth and volume at all levels, the dark and brooding nature of the wine is only enhanced with time in the glass. The palate is rich and generous yet elegantly structured. Taut, compelling and effortlessly classy displaying sublime fruit purity with an inky line and a wonderfully balanced framework of finely polished tannin. Vibrant multilayered and complex flavours of dark plum, liquorice and dried spice finishing with juicy acidity and an amazingly long, bright and fresh finish.
Critical Acclaim
Matthew Jukes 2017 - 20+/20 - The Eye of Ra Shiraz 2016: "This wine is a 100% Shiraz, using 100% French oak and all of the fruit comes from Ebenezer. This wine is made from the finest parcel of fruit that Ben has ever seen in his vineyard. Outstanding aromatics lead the way and the palate is nothing short of spellbinding. The finish has epic freshness and the tannins are like nothing I have encountered before from the great Glaetzer portfolio. The Eye of Ra is all about power countered with impeccable restraint and I can still recall all of its flavours several weeks later. It is one of a number of wines that I have seen lately which signal a new and fascinating epoch for Barossa Shiraz. I followed this wine over three hours that evening and it never stopped evolving in the glass. This celestial wine made a huge impression on me and it is hard for me to see how this wine can be bettered and so I am overjoyed to give it a perfect score."
Robert Parker Wine Advocate 2018 - 98 Points - The Eye of Ra Shiraz 2016: "boasts classy notes of pencil shavings and dark, plummy fruit. From 85-year-old vines, it’s full-bodied, rich and creamy, loaded with vanilla-tinged French oak but balanced by blueberries and blackberries and ending with lasting hints of mocha and liquorice. It returns Glaetzer’s traditional Barossa winemaking to a new level of quality and elegance without sacrificing power or guts."

Our commitment to quality in all aspects is unwavering and any wine that bears the Langmeil name represents our family’s pursuit of excellence in wine and community.
The family’s vision is to highlight the rare qualities of old vine Shiraz using hands-on winemaking techniques. Gentle destemming, open fermentation, basket pressing and two years in French oak accentuate the natural fruit intensity and structure.
Aging: 50% new and 50% seasoned French Oak Hogsheads. Twenty four spent in oak.
Tasting notes: Medium depth crimson with purple hues. Intense and lifted perfume of blue fruits, violets and chocolate, entwine with hints of sage, cedar and white peppery spice. Juicy raspberries and Satsuma plum fills the mouth, with lovely oak sweetness adding to the mouthfeel. The fruit is wonderfully balanced with briary and white pepper spice and textured, fine tannin.
Grape variety: Shiraz
Background: Orphan Bank is testament to Langmeil’s commitment to preserving old and rare Barossa vineyards. Ten rows of Shiraz planted pre-1860 were saved from the developer’s bulldozer and replanted alongside the original Langmeil vineyard on the banks of the River Para. We called these ten rows the “Orphans” but after 150 years they have a new home.
