Region: Barossa Valley, Australia

Grape Variety: 100% 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.

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.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with hearty, savoury dishes and best paired with rich meats particularly lamb and beef.
