🍷 Appearance
Bright ruby red with a vibrant crimson hue. Youthful and lively, showing excellent clarity and energy in the glass.

👃 Aromas
Lifted and expressive, with dark olive, plum and red liquorice.
Hints of allspice, rosemary and subtle dried herbs add a savoury, Mediterranean edge.

👅 Palate
Juicy and vibrant, driven by cherry and dark plum fruits.
A layer of dried herbs and spice runs through the palate, giving depth while maintaining freshness and drinkability.

🍈 Texture & Finish
Medium-bodied with a smooth, rounded mouthfeel.
Fine tannins and balanced acidity lead to a clean, savoury finish with lingering red fruit and spice.

🍇 Overall Style
A modern McLaren Vale GSM—bright, fruit-driven and beautifully balanced.
Combines Grenache lift, Shiraz richness and Mataro structure into a seamless, highly drinkable blend.

🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with BBQ lamb, grilled meats, Mediterranean dishes or roasted vegetables. Also excellent with charcuterie and herb-driven cuisine.

🥂 BBD Verdict
A seriously versatile GSM that over-delivers—bright fruit, savoury complexity and effortless drinkability.
Perfect for mixed dozens where you want a crowd-pleasing red that brings flavour, balance and a touch of McLaren Vale character.
