2022 Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache

Rich, concentrated and opulent with a long juicy yet slightly chewy conclusion.

A blend of 75% Shiraz and 25% Grenache sourced from vines between 50 to 100 years old. The Shiraz component which is matured for 16 months in 2-3 year old French (80%) and American oak (20%) barrels lends backbone, flesh and body to the wine. Whilst the Grenache which sees no oak contact brings a soft, vibrant juiciness.
Midnight black core with a dark red black tinged hue. Elevated dark to black raspberry and liquorice aromas lead the way trailed by some dark cherry, scorched earth, vanillin spice and blackpepper notes. Rich, concentrated and opulent in its feel across the medium to full bodied palate, succulent black raspberry, liquorice and black cherry fruits hold sway over a vanillin spice, scorched earth and pepper background. Outstanding power and depth with a sturdy yet polished tannin structure leading into a long juicy yet slightly chewy conclusion.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
