Description

The Wallace blend is Glaetzer’s take on the classic Barossa Shiraz and Grenache combo - bold, generous, and seriously drinkable. The Shiraz (75%) comes from vines aged 50 to 80 years, bringing depth and structure, while the Grenache (25%), from vines up to a century old, adds brightness and lift.

To keep things fresh and fruit-driven, the Grenache sees minimal oak, while the Shiraz spends 16 months in seasoned French and American hogsheads. The result is a red that’s full of flavour but beautifully balanced, with plenty of richness and a savoury edge to keep things interesting.

A great example of what modern Barossa reds are all about - big on character, easy to enjoy, and built to go the distance if you’re patient enough to wait.

    Nice midweeker

    Nothing amazing about this wine but for $20 you can’t go wrong. Worth a bottle or two if you like this blend

‘Wallace’ (Ben’s grandmother’s middle name) takes on the traditional Barossa Valley blend of Shiraz and Grenache, but with a modern twist. 75% Shiraz from 50 to 80-year-old vines and 25% Grenache from 50 to 100-year-old vines with a yield of 3.5 tonnes per hectare.

The old-vine Barossa Grenache has a liveliness and structure that does not benefit from oak maturation, so it was kept to a minimum to preserve the purity and animation of the fruit. The Shiraz was matured for 16 months in 2 to 3-year-old hogshead barrels (80% French, 20% American).

The Shiraz brings intensity, depth and body to the wine, and the Grenache adds a softness and vibrant juiciness. There is an enticing nose of dark plum, raspberry and bay leaf with hints of fennel and white pepper. Black fruits dominated the palate with touches of pepper. Savoury tannins and brightness brings balance with a long finish. This wine can be cellared for up to 8 to 10 years.
