Anaperenna by Ben Glaetzer 2021
Anaperenna by Ben Glaetzer is a seamless fusion of the two noble grape varieties Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. The name 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'. Romans honoured Anna Perenna with a festival held on the first full moon of the Roman calendar. On March 15th they would ask Anna to grant them longevity, and a healthy year for each glass of wine they drank on that day. The symbol on the label is the Egyptian Ankh (pronounced: onk). Historically the ankh symbolised sunrise, regeneration, regrowth and renewal. The assemblage for this vintage is Shiraz (84%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (16%) matured for 16 months in 100% new oak hogshead barrels (92% French 8% American). The wine was bottled unfiltered to ensure minimal intervention with the wine’s natural characteristics. On the nose there is a heady bouquet of mulberries, blackcurrant, clove, aniseed and nutmeg. A fine white pepper nuance intermingles. On the palate fine Cabernet Sauvignon tannins provide the structural framework for the flesh and fruit driven nature of the Shiraz. A dense yet savoury palate with depth and boldness also exhibiting an elegant restraint. [#intro]A voluptuous, opulent & refined Cabernet/Shiraz, with a very long, satisfying finish...[/intro]
