Description:
Glaetzer Amon Ra Barossa Shiraz 750mL
The first Glaetzers settled in the Barossa Valley in 1888 and were some of the earliest recorded viticulturalists in the Barossa Valley and Clare Valley.
A boutique producer of premium Barossa Valley wines, Glaetzer wines was established by Colin Glaetzer, with son Ben now carrying on the wine making tradition of this family owned winery.
Amon-Ra Shiraz is an iconic wine that epitomises Ben Glaetzer’s passion to create wines that are full flavoured, multi layered and intense but still elegant, stylish and finely balanced.
In Egyptian mythology, Amon-Ra is considered to be the king of all gods. The temple of Amon-Ra was believed to be the first temple to ever plant a monoculture vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple.
The eye on front of the label is the all-seeing eye of Horus or wedjat ("whole one") - a powerful Egyptian symbol of protection. It is represented as a figure with six parts, corresponding to what Egyptians regarded as the six senses; touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell and thought.
Ben created Amon-Ra Shiraz to appeal to all these six senses.
