Amon Ra Glaetzer 2009 is a mature Shiraz from the Barossa Valley in Australia. This wine is crafted from very old, dry-farmed vines that produce exceptionally concentrated fruit. It displays a powerful profile of blackberry compote, dark chocolate, liquorice and exotic spice, all underpinned by a firm, persistent tannic core. Ben Glaetzer focuses on a precise, modern winemaking approach that balances the intensity of the heat-stressed Barossa fruit with a sophisticated, layered structure, ensuring the wine retains a sense of focus despite its natural, hedonistic richness.
