AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

A 72/28% blend from Glaetzer’s stomping ground of Ebenezer, the vines 50 and 100yo. Grenache had minimal oak contact, the shiraz matured in used hogsheads for 16 months. It’s Glaetzer style, pure and simple: love it or leave it.
93 points. James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion

Glaetzer Wallace takes on the traditional Barossa Valley blend of Shiraz and Grenache in a modern way. The Shiraz brings backbone, flesh and body to the wine with the Grenache adding a soft, vibrant juiciness.

Wallace is an ancestral name of Colin’s wife, Judith, whose family hail from the old market town of Cupar in Fife, Scotland. Judith’s Celtic ancestry is reflected in the three elements of the Wallace symbol – the Celtic cross, thistle and the Celtic knot pattern.

Description

Glaetzer Wines is a family owned company with a focus on making limited quantities of super premium Barossa reds. The wines are firstly about terroir – the magnificent ancient vines and rich soils from the famed Ebenezer district in the northern Barossa Valley.

And then about Ben Glaetzer crafting the wines to preserve the characteristics of the fruit from these wonderful vineyards where fruit expression is prized over overt ripeness, alcohol and oak. Ben’s winemaking style results in generous wines with great depth of flavour that are also elegant, multilayered and finely balanced.

The Vineyard

The Glaetzer mission is to focus, simply on the production of small-volume, super premium Barossa Valley wines.

The company holds a firm belief that the wines are made in the vineyard – a combination of the French notion terroir and Australian vineyard site knowledge.

The Barossa Valley is one of the most famous regions of South Australia. With an abundant history dating back to 1847 and a distinctive – and profound – Silesian (German) influence, it is asserting its importance, and the immeasurable value of its storehouse of century old vines and historic wineries.
