94 points “At this price point Ben Glaetzer starts to get his mitts on some really mature vine fruit. This is 100% Barossa shiraz sourced from vines that are between 35 and 120 years old. It’s remarkable that such old vine fruit could be included in a wine at this price but hey who’s complaining. In this hot year those old vines kicked in and provided some excellent fruit that doesn’t have a hint of being cooked or out of whack in that important flavour sugar trade-off. It gets a reasonable amount of oak with about 40% new and largely French for about 16 months. Loaded with that mix of black fruits and dark plum with a typical Barossa coffee grinds character. Generous grainy mouthfeel with a sustained finish. Another cracking good wine at a mighty good price.” – Ray Jordan The Wine Pilot

Bishop is the maiden name of Ben Glaetzer’s mum Judith. In her honour the family created this elegant expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz. The grapes come from super-old vines in Ebenezer which gives the wine an almost unparalleled complexity and concentration. Matured in oak for 16 months this red can be matured of 10-15 years but it’s already hard to resist. When you open it you’ll discover that Bishop is a dark and brooding drop with notes of crème de cassis coffee bean dark chocolate plum crumble blackberry jam black olive black cherry black pepper baking spices and smoke. We love pairing this wine with chargrilled griddled or roasted foods on cold winter nights. Just remember that when you pass it across the dinner table Bishop can only move diagonally.

The Glaetzers settled in the Barossa Valley in 1888 so know a thing or two about the area. They’ve carved their niche in the sub-region of Ebenezer where – in their five star-rated winery (James Halliday’s Wine Companion) – they make what Matthew Jukes has called: “Silky textural and layered… extremely serious wines.”
