🍷 Appearance
Intense crimson red with vibrant purple hues, bright and youthful in the glass.
👃 Aromas (Nose)
Inviting aromas of spiced plum, red berries and musk, layered with subtle herbal and earthy tones typical of classic Barossa GSM blends.
👅 Palate
Juicy and expressive with flavours of raspberry, red berries and plum, complemented by musk and gentle spice. A soft, creamy mid-palate adds richness while maintaining freshness.
⚖️ Structure & Balance
Medium-bodied with bright fruit, smooth tannins and a balanced, textural mouthfeel. Matured for around 7 months in older French oak puncheons, allowing the fruit to remain the focus.
✨ Finish
Smooth and savoury with lingering raspberry fruit, spice and gentle earthy notes, finishing balanced and elegant.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic Barossa GSM blend combining Grenache’s bright red fruit, Shiraz richness and Mataro savoury depth. Fruit is sourced from Elderton’s Greenock vineyard, producing a vibrant yet structured Rhône-style Barossa red that drinks well now or can cellar for 5+ years.
