Glaetzer Bishop Shiraz, 1999, Barossa Valley

Glaetzer Bishop Shiraz has been chosen as one of the best red wines in the $30-$45 price bracket. The Barossa Shiraz features among 40 red wines, selected from 450 wines sent for tasting.

"This wine comes from very old Barossa vines. It has a lighter colour, yet there is heaps of refined, lasting flavour on the palate. Ripe tannins build in the mouth with a stack of fruit behind it. American and French oak add plenty and the balance is excellent. It floats effortlessly over the palate. A wine with finesse and style."
