Wallace by Ben Glaetzer Shiraz Grenache 2015
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaIntense plum and blueberry fruit scents on the nose roll across the palate, one covered in silk and spice. Rich raspberry jam, orange peel, black cherry and menthol with a smoky, licorice finish. Amazingly juicy but with balance and purity reflecting its old vine heritage. The fruit is an all-Barossa mix of 78 percent shiraz and 22 percent grenache. The ancient dry-farmed vineyards are in the Ebenezer district grown by third and fourth generation Barossa grape growers. The very best, non-grafted bush vines are now 80-110 year old.Tasted: 15 September 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:AB | $28.95 | 750ml | fine wine boutiques |
