Ben Glaetzer gives context to the naming: “Anaperenna has been inspired by Anna Perenna, the Roman goddess of the New Year. Anna Perenna symbolises the year’s cycle and her name translates as ‘enduring year.'” .

79% Shiraz and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon. 16 months in 100% new oak (92% French, 8% American). Bottled unfiltered and under cork.

Anaperenna, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Valley, 2021

Deep purple hue with glass staining capabilities. Fresh rose and hibiscus with cedar, licorice all-sorts, warming iron, blackberry, pencil shavings, plum halves and a little mocha. Medium full with latent power. Chocolate, malt, black and red fruit flavours swirl and push through an opulent start. Savoury briny old and centurion vine fruit drive concentration with youthful, but elegant tannins offering staying power and future framework.
