Wallace by Ben Glaetzer Shiraz Grenache 2016
Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe 2016 has to be among the best vintages of Wallace we have tasted over the years, but then 2016 was special in the Barossa. It is definitely one in twenty, if not more when it comes to quality, thanks to adequate spring rainfall followed by a warm, dry, calm summer that led to plenty of time to pick. Now to the best part of all, there was abundant, high quality fruit to choose from. In the glass this 78/22 shiraz/grenache blend made from just under 100-year-old dry farmed vineyards is intense and decadent. Love the open florals, the smoke and licorice and the mix of raspberries and blueberries, all with a stylish acid/sugar balance. Juicy, not a word to use lightly with Barossa shiraz, is its calling card. Fantastic value and ready to drink.Tasted: 14 June 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| AB | $28.95 | 750ml | fine wine boutiques |
