Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe grenache, shiraz, and mataro were sourced across Barossa, and native fermented separately in a mix of oak vats and stainless, before blending and resting for 11 months in French, Hungarian, and American oak hogsheads (13% new). Boysenberry jam, plush raspberry, spiced cherry floods the juicy palate, with a brace of tight spices and softer tannins to guide this to a snappy finish. At 13.5%, this is quite a fresh, welcoming take on Barossa GSM, approachable now, ideally with grilled chicken or pork.Tasted: 29 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe classic GSM opens with aromatic notes of fresh boysenberry and rhubarb, mixed with spice and floral undertones. The attack is medium-full with soft, round textures that push across and deep into the palate with plummy dark fruits, cedar, and cinnamon. Fresh and friendly, this would be well served with pork dishes or a winery favourite, Kung Pao chicken. Drink or hold three to five years. From an excellent year, the grenache, shiraz and mataro are picked separately for this wine and wild fermented in small batches. Some of the fruit goes into oak vats and some in stainless steel. The subsequent wines are matured for 11 months in French oak hogsheads, 13 percent new, with the balance in old French, Hungarian and American oak hogsheads.Tasted: 16 March 2020Tasted by: Prices:
