Glaetzer Wallace Barossa Valley Shiraz Grenache 2022 6pack

93 POINT RATED ANGUS HUGHSON VINOUS The Glaetzer Wallace Barossa Valley Shiraz Grenache 2022 is a bold yet beautifully balanced expression of the classic Barossa blend, crafted by one of the region’s most respected producers. Sourced from old-vine fruit in the renowned Ebenezer sub-region—where Shiraz vines sit between 50 and 80 years old and Grenache vines stretch up to a century—this wine combines depth, power and vibrancy in equal measure. The Shiraz component is matured for 16 months in seasoned French and American hogsheads to build structure and savoury complexity, while the Grenache sees minimal oak to preserve its brightness, perfume and silky red-fruit charm.The palate offers a harmony of richness and freshness, delivering dark berries, plum and black cherry layered with lifted raspberry, spice and a gentle savoury edge. The old-vine concentration is immediately evident, yet the wine remains effortlessly drinkable, showcasing the modern Barossa style where flavour, texture and balance coexist seamlessly. Its refinement and character have earned it strong critical acclaim, including 93 Points from Angus Hughson (Vinous) and high praise from both Erin Larkin of Robert Parker Wine Advocate and the Halliday Wine Companion, where the winery holds a prestigious 5 Red Star rating.This generous, versatile red pairs superbly with chargrilled lamb cutlets, beef brisket, roasted pork belly, spiced sausages, wood-fired pizza, mushroom ragù or hard cheeses such as aged cheddar. While wonderfully enjoyable now for its plush fruit and supple texture, it also has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next decade for those with the patience to cellar.
