At Glaetzer Wines, they're often asked about the Egyptian themed labels which feature on their Amon-Ra Shiraz and Anaperenna Shiraz Cabernet.

What could the Barossa possibly have in common with ancient Egypt, you might ask? Apart from the fact that winemaker Ben Glaetzer looks suspiciously like a character from the movie "The Mummy", the temple of Amon-Ra in Egypt is considered the birthplace of modern winemaking.

The "Eye of Horus" adorns the label of their Amon-Ra Shiraz - an Egyptian symbol of protection. The symbol has six parts - corresponding to the six senses - touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell and thought. Amon-Ra Shiraz was created to appeal to all of those senses.

The Ancient inspiration behind a modern Barossa wine. Very Egyptian indeed.
