Tasting Notes
In the glass, Glaetzer Anaperenna 2021 reveals a deep purple core with a rosella-red rim, which will gracefully evolve to garnet over time. The nose bursts with dark berry aromas layered with hints of fresh thyme, dried anise, and cardamom. On the palate, a rich fusion of blackberries, plums, and currants is supported by the firm structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, enhancing the purity of the Shiraz. Expect a powerful yet refined finish that lingers beautifully. true to the hallmark of Anaperenna.
Glaetzer Wines is a boutique, family-owned winery in Australia’s Barossa Valley, renowned for producing premium old vine Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Established in 1995, the winery continues a winemaking legacy that dates back to the late 1800s, when the Glaetzer family emigrated from Germany and became some of the first viticulturalists in both the Barossa Valley and Clare Valley.
Today, Glaetzer Wines is led by award-winning winemaker Ben Glaetzer, whose philosophy blends traditional techniques with modern precision. All fruit is hand-selected from the Ebenezer sub-region in the northern Barossa, a site famous for its dry-grown, non-grafted bush vines aged between 80 and 110 years. These ancient vines produce low yields of intensely flavoured grapes, forming the backbone of Glaetzer’s bold and expressive wines.
In the cellar, Ben practices minimal intervention winemaking, allowing the unique terroir of Barossa to shine through. Every wine is crafted in small batches to maintain quality and site expression.
Glaetzer's flagship wines, including the iconic Amon-Ra Shiraz and the Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet blend, have gained global recognition for their depth, balance, and unmistakable Barossa character. Whether you are a collector or a connoisseur, Glaetzer Wines offers some of the best premium red wines from Australia.
