T HE L A N GTON’ S C L AS S I FI C AT I O N E XPL AINE D The ‘Honour Roll’ of fine Australian wine Langton’s Classification of Australian wine is the paramount form guide to Australia’s finest wines. Entry into the Classification is based on a wine’s reputation and track record at auction.

The two requirements for inclusion in the Classification are that a wine has been made for a minimum of 10 vintages and that it has a track record in the secondary market.

Eligibility rests on how well a wine performs in the open market – the volume of demand it attracts and the prices it realises. The authority of the Classification derives from its independence; the fundamental criteria for inclusion are objective and market-driven.

Revised every four years, the Classification documents an evolving Australian winemaking culture at the forefront of innovation and excellence in the world of fine wine. It maintains a strong emphasis on red wines, particularly labels renowned for cellaring potential.

The inaugural Classification, in 1990, included just 34 wines. Classifications II, III and IV followed at approximately five-year intervals, tracking the leading wines, and documenting the dramatic growth and increasing maturity of the Australian fine wine scene.

By 2010, when the fifth edition appeared, the Classification had evolved to include 123 wines and its authority was universally recognised.

The sixth and current edition – Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine VI – unveiled on 1 May 2014 – includes 139 wines and reflects a continuing momentum towards single vineyard wines and regional identity.

In its early years, the Classification successfully strengthened the fledgling market for fine Australian wine.

Twenty-five years later it is arguably the most famous and widely-respected wine Classification outside Europe.

Look for Langton’s Classifications throughout this catalogue.

EXCEPTIONAL The most highly sought-after and prized ‘first-growth’ Australian wines.

OUTSTANDING ‘Super-Second’ Australian wines of outstanding quality and provenance.

EXCELLENT Classic Australian wines of consistent excellence.

THE BAROSSA TRUST MARK

ONLINE AUCTION LOTS

The Barossa Trust Mark is a mark of aspirational standard set by the Barossa region. It provides you with a guarantee and assurance of quality.

BAROSSA OLD VINE CHARTER The Barossa Old Vine Charter was introduced in 2009 to register vineyards by age, so that older vines could be preserved, retained and promoted. The Charter groups vineyards into four categories by age: OLD VINES

Equal or greater than 35 years of age SURVIVOR VINES

Equal or greater than 70 years of age CENTENARIAN VINES

Equal or greater than 100 years of age ANCESTOR VINES

Equal or greater than 125 years of age Look for these categories throughout this catalogue.

BAROSSA WINE CHAPTERS AUCTION SEAL OF PROVENANCE The Barossa Wine Chapters Auction Seal of Provenance is verification of the wine’s authenticity, direct from the cellars of the winemaker.

Each seal is uniquely coded, with every auction item allocated its own individual code. This information, held securely by the Barossa Grape & Wine Association, becomes the point of verification for the life of the wine.

The QR code links to the Barossa Wine Chapters Auction web page, providing an ongoing reference to the auction and information updates.

The Barossa Wine Chapters Auction Seal of Provenance is uniquely part of the individual wine’s chain of custody, protecting the security and integrity of your investment.

It is founded on five value pillars: • Origin – our sense of place • Integrity – our sense of purpose • Quality – our sense of ambition • Environment – our sense of responsibility • Community – our sense of belonging Granted under licence, the Trust Mark is awarded to Barossan products and experiences that demonstrate exemplary achievement and distinction across these five areas of value creation. Trust Mark holders have a deep commitment to these values.

The Barossa Trust Mark is your assurance that the food, wine or tourism offering you are choosing is one that meets a standard of excellence, on which you can rely.

Lot 5L BAROSSA WINE CHAPTERS AUCTION The first Glaetzers settled in the Barossa Valley in 1888 after emigrating from Brandenburg, Germany. Over a century later, winemaking patriarch Colin Glaetzer established Glaetzer Wines, a boutique family-owned winery producing premium Barossa Valley wines. Today, Colin’s son Ben carries on the winemaking traditions at Glaetzer Wines. Indeed it was the birth of Glaetzer Wines that signalled a new era for Colin’s family, which boasts more than its fair share of winemakers. glaetzer.com

Amon-Ra Shiraz Barossa Valley 2006, 2010 750ml Bottle

This iconic Barossa wine shows magnificent power and richness with superb balance and elegance. The purity of expression and multi-layered structure allows Amon-Ra to mature beautifully over decades.

This set is made up of six bottles of 2006 and six bottles of 2010 Amon-Ra Shiraz.

Tasting Note Amon-Ra Shiraz is typically deep purple to black coloured with dark fruit, spicy, liquorice aromas and flavours. It is an unashamedly intense full flavoured Shiraz, yet also finely balanced, approachable and elegant.

Estimate $1,600 to $1,800 per set

Outstanding

2006 Amon-Ra. This wine shows the hallmark Amon-Ra richness of previous vintages yet the slower ripening experienced throughout the 2006 vintage takes the aromatic expression to another level. Complex, aged characters have kicked in with room for further development.

2010 Amon-Ra. The 2010 vintage was also a superb vintage enabling excellent concentration of fruit flavours. Full bodied and densely packed, the voluptuous palate is framed by firm, fine tannins and a crisp acid line. The 2010 Amon-Ra has been described as being built like a “brick house”, and therefore has great potential for very long term cellaring.

Winemaker Comments Amon-Ra Shiraz is firstly about terroir – the magnificent ancient vines taken from the famed Ebenezer district in the northern Barossa Valley. Then secondly about crafting the wine to preserve the characteristics of fruit from these wonderful vineyards where fruit expression is prized over overt ripeness, alcohol and oak. The result is a highly generous wine with great depth of flavour that is also elegant, multi-layered and finely balanced.

Additional Notes In Egyptian mythology, Amon-Ra is considered to be the king of all gods and the temple of Amon-Ra was believed to be the first temple to plant a monoculture vineyard to produce wine for its citizens. The eye symbol is the all-seeing eye of Horus or wedjat – a powerful Egyptian symbol of protection. The eye has 6 parts corresponding to what Egyptians regarded as the 6 senses – touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell and thought. Ben Glaetzer created Amon-Ra Shiraz to appeal to all those senses.
