Glaetzer Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet 2019 15.0% 6x75cl

"95 points. Ben Glaetzer's superpower is upholding glossy brightness and freshness even in the wake of considerable ripeness, all the more impressive in warm drought seasons in the generous northern Barossa. Anaperenna is a showpiece for the modern great Australian blend, brimming in bountiful red and black fruits, backed generously with dark chocolate and coffee-bean new oak. It holds its proportions and considerable alcohol with astonishing confidence, thanks most of all to a bright flash of pure, fresh acidity." (James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion)

"My repetitious tasting note reads ‘very sexy, very flashy, demonstrative and juicy, spice and leather, very sexy, layered, delicious, forward’. With 18% Cabernet it gets a guest pass in this line-up." Matthew Jukes, Decanter Magazine

Glaetzer Anaperenna is a seamless fusion of  Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Voluptuous, opulent and yet refined, with a very long and satisfying finish. 

Exceptional old vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley. Vine age 30—100 year old Shiraz and 30—130 year old Cabernet. Yield 2.5 tonnes per hectare.

The colour is impenetrable black with a hint of purple. The aromas are a spectrum of spicy yet plummy fruit, with intense notes of liquorice and mixed herbs. The palate displays dense dark flavours yet with freshness and drive. 

A wine that will mature extremely well with long term cellaring up to 20 years.
