Notes of ripe dark fruit with hints of walnuts, cedar and dark spices. Medium- to full-bodied, firm but mellow and creamy, with a core of delicious fruit in the middle and a velvety finish. Drink now, or hold. Screw cap.

A blend of northern Barossa shiraz/grenache. Deep crimson in hue with vibrant aromas of frangipani-flecked dark plum, blackberry and boysenberry fruits underscored with baking spices, rose petals, roasting meats, cola, ginger spice and earth. Bright acidity, a plume of red cherry and wild strawberry join the party on the palate, with fine sandy tannin and black tea and pure dark and red berry fruits on the exit.

Made with 84% Shiraz, the balance Grenache, the 2021 Wallace Shiraz Grenache is juicy and bright, gleaming and succulent and vibrant, in its way. It's not a complex wine but a very pretty one and a great indicator of the Barossa. It's a product of a lovely balanced season. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

This well-pitched 2021 Wallace a blend of Shiraz and Grenache, offers up plush, slick aromas of blackberry, wood smoke and spice. Fleshy in style, ample fruit pastille and dark cherry flavors provide good upfront drinkability with slightly firm-edged tannins to finish.
