When it comes to wine style, the Glaetzer hallmark is purity of fruit. "I'm looking for animated fruit. Wines have to stay alive. I want the fruit to smell fresh, alive and animated." His ability to blend traditional winemaking techniques with a modern flair is reflected in the style of all of his wines.

Glaetzer Amon-Ra Barossa Shiraz 2009

Glaetzer Amon-Ra is a benchmark Barossa Valley shiraz made by master winemaker Ben Glaetzer. Fruit is sourced from exceptional old vines in the famed Ebenezer sub-region in the northern part of the Barossa Valley. Vine age varies from 35 years to over 130 years of age. Amon-Ra is Glaetzer's flagship wine and in addition to being a shiraz of monumental proportions, it displays a freshness and purity of fruit that are the hallmarks of Ben Glaetzer's wines.

"Has the usual dense purple-crimson colour; there is an elusive Arabian/exotic spice nuance to the bouquet, the palate proclaiming the exceptional quality of the fruit and the mastery of Ben Glaetzer, able to invest this shiraz with so much dark berry flavour yet retain elegance. A beautiful wine."  James Halliday
