Glaetzer Wallace takes on the traditional Barossa Valley blend of Shiraz and Grenache in a modern way. The Shiraz brings backbone, flesh and body to the wine with the Grenache adding a soft, vibrant juiciness.

Made from 78% Shiraz & 22% Grenache, Wallace is medium to deep garnet and flash of purple on the rim. Aromas of enticing dark plum, raspberry and lavender with hints of anise and ground spice abound.
Black fruits prevail on the palate with touches of pepper and blackcurrant also evident. Firm, savoury yet rounded tannins balance with brightness and lift. This is a wine to be enjoyed in its youth and will reward careful cellaring up to 5 years.
Old vine Barossa Grenache has a liveliness and structure that does not benefit from oak maturation oak contact was thus minimised for the Grenache component to preserve the purity and animation of the fruit. The Shiraz was matured for 16 months in 2 3 year old oak hogshead barrels (80% French / 20% American).
