Tasting Notes:
Vibrant dark red with purple hues. Subtle yet generous with black cherries and dried spice. Another expressive and approachable vintage for Bishop. It is both structured and layered and enjoys a smooth and supple texture. Flavours of black cherry, raspberry, olive and black pepper are supported by balancing tannin. It is mouth-filling and persistent on the finish.

95 points Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot
The quality of this vintage is immediately evident. The fruit was sourced from the Ebenezer subregion and that brings a distinctive iron stone slightly rusty nail character to the beautiful fruit. Spicy iron filings, dark plum and spicy red fruits on the nose. The density of the fruit has enabled Glaetzer to smack 40% new oak into it. A small amount of American rounds out the finish and palate feel.

The 2021 Bishop Shiraz is pristine, supple and concentrated. There are layers of mulberry, raspberry and salted licorice (red licorice, too) in the mouth, shaped by fine, pliable tannins. It is bendy like high-jump poles. This is really great value for money. It is reliably high quality, delivering a modern, satisfying Barossa experience. What more do you want? Erin Larkin, 2023
