🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby red with vibrant crimson hues. Bright and inviting in the glass, showing excellent depth of colour and maturity.

👃 Aromas
Generous and expressive, with lifted aromas of ripe raspberry, blackberry and plum complemented by red cherry, dried herbs and warm spice. Subtle pepper and earthy notes add complexity and classic GSM character.

👅 Palate
Rich and flavoursome, delivering layers of juicy red berries, dark plum and blackberry. Grenache provides generous fruit, Shiraz adds depth and spice, while Mataro contributes savoury complexity and structure. Balanced acidity keeps the palate fresh and lively.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Medium to full-bodied with a smooth, supple texture and soft, well-integrated tannins. The finish is generous and persistent, with lingering dark fruit, spice and savoury herbal notes.

🍇 Overall Style
A classic Barossa Valley GSM—generous, ripe and wonderfully approachable. Rich fruit flavours combine with spice, savoury complexity and supple tannins to create a balanced and highly drinkable red.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with barbecued lamb, grilled steak, slow-cooked beef or roast pork. Also excellent with gourmet sausages, Mediterranean dishes, pizza and mature cheeses.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A generous and satisfying Barossa GSM offering plenty of ripe fruit, spice and savoury character. Smooth, approachable and extremely versatile, this is a terrific everyday red and an excellent addition to a Better Buy The Dozen mixed dozen.
