Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz-Grenache 2021 (750ml)
Product price
Description
The pairing of Shiraz and Grenache is a Barossa Valley staple, the former lending structure and dark fruit, the latter brightening things with red-berry lift. This bottling from Glaetzer Wines leans on Shiraz for the majority of the blend, with Grenache filling in the rest, a South Australian red made in a style meant to be approachable rather than imposing.
Expect cola and plum on the nose, with raspberry and strawberry adding a higher, fresher register. It sits between medium and full in body, carried by tannins that are fine-grained and silky rather than grippy. The finish runs long and keeps the mouth watering, closing on a suggestion of mocha and wood spice. It drinks well now and has the stuffing to hold for several years.

Expert Reviews
Glaetzer's least-expensive offering is a terrific bargain. The 2018 Wallace Shiraz-Grenache is a 72-28 blend, offering hints of cola and plum on the nose, backed by brighter raspberry and strawberry notes. It's medium to full-bodied and framed by silky, fine-grained tannins, with a long, mouthwatering finish that hints at mocha and wood spice. Drink this beauty over the next 6-7 years.
