According to Greek Mythology, Bacchantes are the women who celebrate
Dionysus (also known as Bacchus) by abandoning themselves to the wild,
liberating energy of nature. Bacchantes, when in the trance of Bacchus,
haunt the forests and mountains, dancing into an ecstatic frenzy!
Viticulture & Winemaking: The fruit is sourced from a single vineyard in Barossa
Valley where great care was taken to ensure ripeness and concentration. A portion
of the fruit was aged in barrel with the remainder in stainless steel. The Gomersal
Vineyard was initially planted in 1891, but went through a thorough rejuvenation
in 2000 with a plan to harvest only 2 tonnes /acre. Bacchantes was made at
Barossa Vintners by the award-winning Ben Glaetzer. The whole philosophy is to
produce wines which are the purest, most honest reflection of the vineyard and soil.
Minimal intervention, judicious use of oak, and maximum flavour are the goals.

Ben Glaetzer named as a Wine Personality of the Year 2005 by Robert Parker
“When I look at the winemaker behind some of my favorite Australian wines, the
name Ben Glaetzer seems to come up frequently. From a winemaking family dating
back to the late 19th century, he has shown an exquisite talent for accessing
fabulous vineyards and turning out world-class wines from old vine Shiraz and
Grenache. His Amon-Ra is one of the great new wines of Australia, made with
power as well as elegance. He has also produced compelling wines under his own
winery name, Glaetzer and under the Mitolo label. This is a serious talent who has
exploded on the wine scene with a brilliant array of wines”.

Vintage Report: After only an average budburst, good summer rains and mild
ripening conditions enabled an unexpectedly large crop of excellent quality, with
good natural acidity and low pH in most varieties. Indeed, some varieties yielded at
bumper levels. Weather conditions were ideal. Whilst bunch numbers were
generally down, bunch and berry sizes were up.
