Winemaker Notes

After a couple of years not making a GSM, we are excited to bring this wine back in 2022! The blend is one which falls naturally together, with all the fruit this vintage coming from our Greenock Vineyard. Grenache, the base for this wine, has an ability to deliver sufficient power yet with an elegance and restraint on the palate which is quite unique. Grenache and Mataro were co-fermented in open cement vats to produce a vibrant and delicious backbone for our blend. We then chose a batch of Shiraz from Greenock to add a little mid palate weight without taking away the distinctly Grenache tone and lovely savoury line in this wine. The wines spent 7 months in seasoned French oak on lees before blending prior to bottling. - Jules Ashmead & Brock Harrison

The conversation here is less about the carpentry and more about the fruit, which just so happens to be super fragrant and pure, all juicy satsuma plum, blueberry, boysenberry and nectarine with hints of exotic spice, gingerbread, red licorice, milk chocolate, cola, jasmine and earth. Light on the tannin, it's just a juicy, vibrant fruit train.

I really enjoyed this modern expression of Barossan Grenache blend. It showed that natural generosity of fruit seen in quality Grenache but also impressive underlying complexity that will build over time. Aromas of red licorice and baked earth with touches of game and ground mixed spices are vibrant and focused. It then boasts attractive volume of sweet and savoury flavours laced with earthy tones nicely supported by a gentle tannin bite. It’s a wine to enjoy over a couple of hours as it builds in the glass.
