Description

Glaetzer’s Bishop Shiraz is a true family affair, named after Ben Glaetzer’s mother, Judith Bishop, and made from some of the Barossa’s best old-vine fruit. Sourced from the Ebenezer sub-region, the vines range from 35 to 120 years old - older vines bringing depth and structure, younger ones adding freshness and energy.

The wine spends 16 months in French oak (40% new), giving it just the right amount of polish without overpowering the fruit. It’s bold and full of character, but there’s a softness to it that makes it just as enjoyable now as it will be in years to come.

This is classic Barossa Shiraz - rich, balanced, and effortlessly drinkable.

Glaetzer Bishop is a celebration of Barossa Shiraz that is elegantly structured with a long finish. Variety: 100% Shiraz Vineyards: Exceptional old vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley.

Vine age 35—120 years old. Yield 3 tonnes per hectare. The general thought in Barossa is that 2022 offered elegance and structure combined with the solid fruit weight to make it a vintage that will last and impress. Our Shiraz definitely reflects that.

Fermented in 1 and 2 tonne open fermenters. Extended maceration was employed to enable good tannin development so the wine is soft and approachable early. Matured for 16 months in a mix of 40% new oak and 60% 2— 3 year old oak hogshead barrels (100% French).

Vibrant dark cherry with purple hues. Aroma: Subtle yet generous with black cherries and dried spice. Palate: This is a full volume year for Bishop. The aromas are layered with so many fruits they are too numerous to name here. The usual smooth and supple texture shares flavours of black cherry, every imaginable berry, olive and black pepper. Brightness and balancing tannin offer a long finish and significant age ability. Peak Drinking: Great drinking now but this wine will also benefit from up to 10 – 15 years of careful cellaring.

Ordering

We want Different Drop customers to always be getting the best price. If you see a lower price elsewhere, just get in touch and we will sort it out for you. We handle all our price-matching on a case by case basis.

Some things to keep in mind: 

  • Retrospective price-matching is available for 30 days after you have purchased from us.
  • The price match cannot be used in conjunction with a coupon or one-off deal we are offering. The idea is for you to get the best price in the market so if that is already achieved through a coupon then we won't price match on top of that.
  • We don't price match clearance or fire sales.
  • We’ll match the listed price as long as it is a legitimate offer and the competing store is actually able to fulfil the order (they have stock or more stock is en route). Essentially we won't price match cheeky vendors listing wines they have no hope of actually getting for you...
  • It must be a publicly listed price. We won't match a price that has been achieved through a coupon/cash-back arrangement, or through a non-advertised offer over the phone or otherwise.  
  • It is limited to a reasonable retail quantity.

We'll treat each price match request on its merit and reserve the right to refuse where we deem fit. For example, particularly rare wines, from non-trust-worthy vendors, in circumstances we deem illegitimate or if we feel our policy is being unfairly taken advantage of.

At the end of the day, we'll look after you and use common sense to ensure you're getting the best price, please just don't take the p%$$!

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

We stock three different sized gift boxes (single, three bottle and six), all are available for purchase for a flat rate of $8. They look great and make an awesome impression.

To add a gift box to your order, simply add at checkout. The special requests box is your friend, please give us as many details of what you are looking for and we will try our best, or get in contact to discuss it with you. 

If you want to bulk order gifts or if you have any trouble please email hello@differentdrop.com or call and we can try and help.

 

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
