Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz Grenache from Barossa Valley.

Ben Glaetzer Wallace Shiraz - Grenache, Barossa Valley, Australia.

Wallace Shiraz Grenache is a seamless fusion of two classic grape varieties from the famed Ebenezer subregion of the Barossa Valley. Ripe, peppery old-vine Shiraz dominates and adds weight, texture, and fleshy richness to the palate. The Grenache contributes sweet cherry, toffee, and earthy characters.

Wallace is an ancestral name of Colin's wife, Judith, whose family hail from the old market town of Cupar in Fife, Scotland. This Scottish heritage is now linked to a Glaetzer family tradition of Barossa Valley winemaking, starting 30 years ago by Colin Glaetzer and carried on by his son, Ben.

The new label represents a new era for Glaetzer wines as Ben takes on his father's mantle as chief winemaker. The Celtic ancestry is reflected in the three elements - the Celtic cross, thistle, and the Celtic knot pattern. Glaetzer Wallace is a wine greater than the sum of its parts - a fusion of Shiraz and Grenache, which is a typical, traditional blend in the Barossa Valley.
