The 2022 Glaetzer Amon-Ra Shiraz is the flagship wine of the acclaimed Glaetzer Wines portfolio and one of Australia’s most respected expressions of old-vine Barossa Shiraz. Crafted by renowned winemaker Ben Glaetzer, Amon-Ra is sourced from exceptionally old, low-yielding vineyards, many planted between 30 and 130 years ago, delivering remarkable concentration, complexity, and longevity.

Named after the ancient Egyptian sun god Amon-Ra, this iconic Shiraz embodies power, intensity, and precision while remaining remarkably balanced and elegant. The 2022 vintage produced fruit of outstanding quality, with excellent flavour concentration and natural freshness, resulting in a wine that combines richness with structure and finesse.

Fruit is hand-selected from some of the finest old-vine Shiraz vineyards in the northern Barossa Valley. Following fermentation, the wine is matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels, carefully integrated to enhance complexity while preserving the purity of the fruit.

The bouquet is intensely aromatic and layered, offering aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, dark plum, and blueberry, complemented by notes of liquorice, dark chocolate, espresso, black pepper, and exotic spice. Additional nuances of cedar, graphite, and smoky oak contribute further sophistication.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich, and beautifully structured. Concentrated flavours of ripe black fruits, plum compote, blackberry preserve, and mocha are supported by velvety tannins and vibrant acidity. Despite its power, the wine retains impressive balance and precision, reflecting the quality of the vineyard sources.

The finish is exceptionally long and powerful, with lingering notes of dark berries, cocoa, spice, espresso, and subtle savoury minerality. Built for serious cellaring, the 2022 Amon-Ra Shiraz will continue to evolve and gain complexity over the next 15–25 years.

A benchmark Barossa Shiraz and one of Australia’s modern classics, the 2022 Glaetzer Amon-Ra Shiraz delivers extraordinary depth, concentration, and age-worthiness.
