2022 Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache

The 2022 Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache is a vibrant Barossa Valley red blend that brings together the richness of Shiraz with the bright fruit and spice of Grenache. Named after Colin Glaetzer's wife Judith Wallace, the wine reflects the family's long connection to the Barossa and their focus on expressive, regionally driven wines. Aromas of blackberry, dark plum and raspberry are complemented by hints of black pepper, dried herbs and subtle baking spice, creating a fragrant and inviting bouquet.

On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a generous core of dark and red fruit supported by fine tannins and balanced acidity. Shiraz contributes depth, structure and dark berry intensity, while Grenache adds brightness, spice and a silky texture. The wine is approachable and fruit-driven, with subtle oak influence enhancing complexity without dominating the palate. The finish is smooth, persistent and savoury, carrying notes of plum, spice and dark cherry.

Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Barossa blend for those who enjoy generous fruit flavours balanced by freshness and drinkability. Ready to enjoy now, it will continue to evolve over the next 5–8 years. Pair with grilled lamb cutlets, slow-cooked beef, gourmet burgers, wood-fired pizza or chargrilled Mediterranean vegetables.
