About the wine
Tasting notes
Made from 50% Mourvèdre, 35% Grenache and 15% Syrah, this shows all the animal and dark spice that you expect of a great Rhône. Deep aromas of red fruits and chalky minerality. In the mouth it's driven by blood orange acidity, red fruits, black olive and amaro-like herbals, finishing with finely polished tannins and impressive chalky length. Already drinking beautifully thanks to impeccable balance, but will be at its best 10 years from now.

GSM
GSM is an abbreviation for a red blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre/Mataro grapes. With its origins in the Côtes du Rhône in France, this trio of grapes is a favourite in the Barossa Valley and makes juicy, deep and fruit forward expressions that age beautifully! A great match with BBQ.
