2014 Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache

This blend is composed of 78% Shiraz and 22% Grenache. The Shiraz component gives the wine backbone, flesh and body whilst the Grenache adds a soft vibrant juiciness. The fruit was sourced from vines varying in age between 60 and 110 years old and the resulting wine was matured in a combination of 2-3 year old French (80%) and American (20%) oak hogsheads for a period of 16 months.

Totally opaque inky black colour with a deep dark red hue. Aromas of black raspberry and dark plum are followed by some liquorice with confectionary and spice end notes. Ripe and succulent with a medium to full body weight the palate features black raspberry and dark plum flavours over some liquorice, faint earth and spice. Opulent mouthfeel with velvet smooth tannins. Long black raspberry, dark plum, liquorice and spicy earth aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
