The 2023 Glaetzer Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium Australian red wine from the Barossa Valley in South Australia, produced by renowned winemaker Ben Glaetzer. Combining Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine brings together the richness of Barossa Shiraz with the structure and elegance of Cabernet Sauvignon. Its anticipated aromas reveal ripe blackberry, blackcurrant, dark plum and black cherry, complemented by notes of liquorice, cedar, dark chocolate and subtle baking spice.
On the palate, it is expected to be full-bodied with concentrated fruit, firm yet polished tannins and balanced acidity. Flavours of blackberry, ripe plum and cassis unfold alongside hints of mocha, black pepper, tobacco and toasted oak. The Shiraz contributes generous fruit and richness, while Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and depth. The finish is long and persistent, leaving lingering impressions of dark berries, savoury spice and refined tannins.
