2018 Ben Glaetzer The Eye Of Ra Shiraz

The Eye of Ra is only bottled when there is an extraordinary vintage, of pure expression from the finest parcels. 2018 is it. This Shiraz, holding power to its name, features incredible depth, countered by exemplary elegance and restraint. Sourced from selected vines from the Ebenezer vineyard, the fruit was hand harvested from low yielding vines that were aged up to 110 years old on deep sandy soils.

Aromas of powerful, dark intensity – a dense core of dark berry fruit. The palate is underpinned by a brightness and polished tannin structure to balance the fruit. Blackberries are layered over red fruit, with plums and cherries adding to the chorus. The fruit is accentuated by mocha, liquorice and fresh-cut cedar. This wine will develop gracefully over time and continue to gain complexity and layers.
