Ben Glaetzer Bishop Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021

Opaque purple-black in colour, the Bishop 2021 offers bold aromas of blackberry compote, plum, and blueberry, layered with dark chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of clove. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with concentrated black fruit framed by supple tannins and a velvety texture. Notes of espresso, spice, and smoked meat add complexity, while balanced acidity keeps the wine vibrant. The finish is long, powerful, and smooth, showcasing both Barossa ripeness and polish.

Ben Glaetzer is one of the Barossa Valley’s leading winemakers, known for crafting wines that marry intensity with finesse. The Bishop Shiraz comes from old-vine fruit, sourced predominantly from Ebenezer vineyards in the northern Barossa, where deep sandy and clay soils produce wines of great concentration. Made with a portion of whole-bunch fermentation and aged in both French and American oak, Bishop is positioned as the most accessible of Glaetzer’s range, offering a pure expression of Barossa Shiraz while reflecting the estate’s modern, distinctive style.
