The crowd-pleasing 2022 Shiraz Grenache Wallace delivers both power and complexity as it ripples with dark earth, blackberry and dark cherry aromas lifted by a savory touch of roasted meat. The 2022 marks a high point for this label. There is also impressive density, depth and volume of flavor, which builds over the strong finish. Significant tannins ensure this will age well over the medium term. 93 points. Angus Hughson, Vinous

Notes
‘Wallace’ (Ben’s grandmother’s middle name) takes on the traditional Barossa Valley blend of Shiraz and Grenache, but with a modern twist. 75% Shiraz from 50 to 80-year-old vines and 25% Grenache from 50 to 100-year-old vines with a yield of 3.5 tonnes per hectare.
The old-vine Barossa Grenache has a liveliness and structure that does not benefit from oak maturation, so it was kept to a minimum to preserve the purity and animation of the fruit. The Shiraz was matured for 16 months in 2 to 3-year-old hogshead barrels (80% French, 20% American).
The Shiraz brings intensity, depth and body to the wine, and the Grenache adds a softness and vibrant juiciness. There is an enticing nose of dark plum, raspberry and bay leaf with hints of fennel and white pepper. Black fruits dominated the palate with touches of pepper. Savoury tannins and brightness brings balance with a long finish. This wine can be cellared for up to 8 to 10 years. – Ben Glaetzer
