It’s an 82\/18% split of old vine fruit sourced from the famed northern subregion of Ebenezer. Dark plum, blackberry and black cherry fruits dredged with baking spices, licorice, cedar, vanilla pod, olive tapenade, fruitcake, pan juices and earth. Full bodied, with a seam of fresh acidity, powdery, chocolatey tannins and a sense of harmony and balance as the flavours stretch themselves out nicely. 95 points Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion Feb 2026\"\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 POINTS - Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is thick, warm, hearty, throaty; all of the above. It’s a pretty sexy wine and a particular version of sexy, too. It tastes of blackcurrant, plum syrup, milk chocolate, mint, cloves and raspberries stewed with orange rind and assorted woodsy spices. It does not lack freshness but it’s definitely bold and bruising. It’s pretty impressive, all round\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKING\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eSourced from exceptional old vines in the renowned Ebenezer subregion, this blend comprises 86% Shiraz and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Shiraz ranges from 30 to 100 years of age, while the Cabernet comes from vines between 30 and 130 years old, producing naturally low yields of around 2.5 tonnes per hectare and fruit of remarkable concentration. Fermented in small open fermenters with hand plunging three times daily, the wine was matured for 16 months in 100% new oak hogsheads (92% French and 8% American) on lees before being bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving purity, texture and character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Deep purple with an impenetrable core and ruby rim, the nose opens with blackcurrant, blackberry and plum layered with cedar, rosemary and black pepper. The palate is rich and powerful, with Cabernet Sauvignon bringing focus and precision to the generous Shiraz fruit. Concentrated dark berries, impressive depth and finely integrated oak are supported by a confident structure, culminating in a long, harmonious finish where both varieties complement each other seamlessly. – Ben Glaetzer \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glaetzer","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":37971926083,"sku":"CELGLGASC18","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/Worldwine-2024-07-22T150925.172.jpg?v=1721664567","url":"https:\/\/worldwine.com.au\/products\/glaetzer-anaperenna-shiraz-cabernet-2023","provider":"World Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
