Glaetzer Wallace takes on the traditional Barossa Valley blend of
shiraz and grenache in a thoroughly modern way. Rich, peppery old-vine
shiraz dominates and adds weight, texture and fleshy richness to the
palate. Grenache provides complex tannins and fresh acidity to the mix,
with luscious red cherry and hints of aromatic spices and anise.
The
grenache fruit was powerful and robust in 2008, allowing it to play a
strong role in the final blend. The percentage of grenache has dropped
to 20% for this release to allow for this intensity. Wallace combines the best of the two varieties to create a spicy, savoury, food friendly wine.
