Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache 2022 from Barossa Valley showcases the exceptional quality of this renowned Australian wine region, blending vibrant Grenache with structured Shiraz.

Appearance

Medium to deep ruby with a vibrant purple edge, this wine presents a youthful, inviting colour that hints at the intensity within the glass.

Aroma

The bouquet opens with enticing dark plum and fresh raspberry, layered with aromatic bay leaf. Subtle fennel and white pepper notes add complexity, creating an intriguing and sophisticated nose that evolves beautifully in the glass.

Palate

Black fruits dominate the palate, delivering rich flavour alongside distinctive pepper nuances. Well-structured tannins provide excellent framework, whilst vibrant acidity ensures balance and freshness. The finish is notably prolonged, leaving a lasting impression of fruit and spice. This wine demonstrates the harmonious marriage of Grenache's exuberance with Shiraz's depth and structure.

The Grenache component brings immediate appeal and vibrancy, making this wine thoroughly enjoyable in its youth. Meanwhile, the Shiraz element promises excellent development, with the potential to gain complexity over 8 to 10 years of careful cellaring.

Pairs With

This versatile Barossa Valley red wine complements grilled lamb chops, beef bourguignon, and char-grilled vegetables. Try it with mature cheddar, slow-cooked beef short ribs, or Mediterranean dishes featuring herbs and spices. The wine's structure and fruit intensity also make it an excellent match for barbecued meats and hearty pasta dishes.

Winery & Vintage Info

Glaetzer Wallace takes on the traditional Barossa Valley blend of Shiraz and Grenache with a modern twist. The Shiraz brings intensity, depth and body to the wine and the Grenache adds a softness and vibrant juiciness.

We entered the 2022 season with an above average 2021 winter rainfall. This was beneficial in replenishing the soils and nourishing the vines prior to a dry summer with rainfall more than 20% below average. Some flowering was affected by an early Spring frost that made for a smaller crop. Summer was warm but with no major heat spikes. Late hail made another reduction to the overall crop size in Ebenezer. Indeed 2022 was far from typical vintage but with results that offer everything we could hope for. The general thought in Barossa is that 2022 offered elegance and structure combined with the solid fruit weight to make it a vintage that will last and impress. Our Shiraz definitely reflects that.

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).
