Vineyard

The wine is a blend of three grape varieties (Grenache 55%, Shiraz 35% & Mourvedre 10%) from three different vineyards in South Australia's McLaren Vale. I attributed both the strong flavour and yield increases to the much milder conditions. Grapes reached a flavour ripeness before sugar ripeness in the vineyard, which is something we haven’t seen in McLaren Vale for quite a few years. The wines are showing really bright, rich, deep fruit flavours and the vintage intake was smooth and relaxed allowing me to ‘cherry pick’ exactly when to harvest the grapes to make the ideal wine.

 

Winemaking

The interesting part of the winemaking process is working with varieties that ripen at different stages: Shiraz first, then Grenache, followed by Mourvedre which means the individual parcels of fruit are fermented separately and tucked away in barrels as single varietals to mature. They are matured individually in selected high quality French oak barrels (predominately older oak), allowing the wines to soften and develop gracefully, but not imparting too much oak influence. The blend only comes together well after vintage once primary barrel allocation (grading) is completed.

 

Tasting Notes 

This medium bodied wine demonstrates typical regional charm and definitive varietal fruit flavour with aromas of dried sage and herbs and bright fruit flavours. Released early (within 14 months of vintage) to show its bright fruit character. The three varieties seamlessly mesh together as a complete blend. The Grenache's fruitiness and floral notes are complemented by the spicier Shiraz with Mourvedre adding structure and length.

 

Ageing Advice

GSM blends are traditionally known for their age-worthy potential, this one is different. Drink young and enjoy the vibrant, intense but very approachable fruit flavours.
