93 points,"This is beautifully curated, in a big and rich style. It's full-bodied with round and creamy tannins that caress your palate. Lots of flavour and a creamy texture. It's a bit of a throwback, but it's hard to resist."- James Suckling 92 points,"This 2020 Bishop Shiraz is a saturating and pure example of Barossa Shiraz, from a warm, compacted and low-yielding vintage. The wine in the glass is the very essence of Barossa, with red, earthy tannins, spicy/toasty oak and a fruit profile that spans red, purple and black. Really well done. Delicious."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Bishop is the maiden name of Ben Glaetzer's mum, Judith. In her honour, the family created this elegant expression of Barossa Valley Shiraz. The grapes come from super-old vines in Ebenezer, which gives the wine an almost unparalleled complexity and concentration. Matured in oak for 16 months, this red can be matured of 10-15 years, but it's already hard to resist. When you open it, you'll discover that Bishop is a dark and brooding drop with notes of crème de cassis, coffee bean, dark chocolate, plum crumble, blackberry jam, black olive, black cherry, black pepper, baking spices and smoke. We love pairing this wine with chargrilled, griddled or roasted foods on cold winter nights. Just remember that when you pass it across the dinner table, Bishop can only move diagonally. The Glaetzers settled in the Barossa Valley in 1888, so know a thing or two about the area. They've carved their niche in the sub-region of Ebenezer, where - in their five star-rated winery (James Halliday's Wine Companion) - they make what Matthew Jukes has called:"Silky, textural and layered… extremely serious wines."£4.39 per 100.00ml
