In Egyptian mythology, Amon-Ra is considered to be the king of all gods. The temple of Amon-Ra was believed to be the first temple to ever plant a monoculture vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple. The eye on front of the label is the all-seeing eye of Horus or wedjat (\"whole one\") - a powerful Egyptian symbol of protection. It is represented as a figure with six parts, corresponding to what Egyptians regarded as the six senses; touch, taste, hearing, sight, smell and thought. Ben created Amon-Ra Shiraz to appeal to all these six senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Winery\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExceptional old vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley.
