Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache 2016
Dozen Price: $227.88
RRP: $24.00
“The 2016 Wallace Shiraz-Grenache is the same 78/22 blend that the past two vintages have been, but it seems a touch darker and richer on the nose and palate, if perhaps a little less complex and nuanced. It’s still a solid mouthful of bold Barossa fruit, leaning toward black cherries in this vintage, with a slightly creamy mouthfeel and a long, supple finish.”
91 Points - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Issue # 238, 1st September 2018
“Rich, deep colour and bouquet speaking of spicy fruit and generous but well-trimmed oak, the palate sinewy and crisp with liberal acidity and peppery spicy leanness (it must be the Grenache that’s providing the spice). It has a lot of charm and aromaticity. A stylish wine of its type.”
90 Points - Huon Hooke, The Real Review, July 2018, Australia

Glaetzer Wallace 2016 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. Wallace is an ancestral name of Colin's wife, Judith, whose family hail from Scotland. Judith's Celtic ancestry is reflected in the three elements of the Wallace symbol - the Celtic cross, thistle and the Celtic knot pattern.
