Compare Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache Prices

Strong crimson-purple; only Glaetzer would find Barossa Valley grenache of this quality and style, and blend it so synergistically with shiraz; the wine is ready to drink now, but will easily see out a decade or more. Screwcap. Rating 94. Drink 2020. Date Tasted Jan 10.

A touch of Grenache (20%) blended with Shiraz is almost always a good thing. Especially if the Grenache you're using is of high quality. Juicy, dark, full-bodied and very, very easy to slurp. One of those 'dangerous' kinds of wine - you just keep wanting another glass....It has flavours of dark cherries and sundy berries, with vanilla, clove-like touches from oak. Walsh called it 'plump' in the cuddly and warm sense of the word. Drink 2010-2014.

Some years Bishop gets in, other years Wallace captures the flag. This year Wallace didn’t just capture the flag, he got the whole castle, too. This is a magnificent Shiraz / Grenache blend and in spite of the Grenache element only just hitting the 20% mark, the overall feel here is one of ethereal, rhubarb and raspberry (Grenache) which leads and even dominates the swarthier, dark, raisin and chocolate (Shiraz). Hoorah for the underdog, because it is the Grenache in this wine which makes it so unutterably special.

A pretty rendition of this blend. Floral, both blueberries and raspberries, and flush with jubey licorice and spice as it washes through the finish. Alcohol is well tucked into the fruit. Delicious.

A Shiraz and Grenache blend, the 2013 Wallace has a medium garnet - purple color and notes of kirsch, warm red currants and mulberries with suggestions of spice cake, orange peel and potpourri. Soft, generous and full bodied, it gives tons of red and black fruit preserves flavors and a spicy undercurrent, finishing long and with a refreshing lift.

Inky purple. Powerful aromas of blueberry, blackberry, wood smoke and violet. Displays supple, open - knit flavors of smoky dark fruits, mocha and candied flowers, with a peppery element adding lift. Shows very good clarity for its richness, with a sweet floral pastille note carrying through the long, smoky, gently tannic finish.
