🍷 Appearance
Bright ruby to deep crimson in the glass with youthful purple highlights, showing vibrancy and concentration typical of Barossa GSM blends.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Expressive aromas of raspberry, boysenberry and red cherry rise from the glass. Subtle notes of cumin, red peppercorn and floral spice add aromatic complexity and lift.
👅 Palate
Juicy and fruit-driven with flavours of blackberry, red berries and dark plum. The Grenache brings bright red fruit and perfume, Shiraz adds depth and spice, while Mataro contributes savoury structure and earthy nuance.
⚖️ Structure
Medium-bodied with fine, silky tannins and vibrant acidity. The texture is smooth and fleshy with balanced fruit weight and freshness.
🔚 Finish
Fresh and lively with lingering red and dark berry fruit supported by gentle spice and savoury complexity.
🍇 Overall Style
A modern Barossa Valley GSM—vibrant, textural and approachable. The Villain & Vixen range focuses on bright fruit expression and silky tannins rather than heavy, powerful styles, creating a balanced and food-friendly red blend.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Perfect with roast lamb, grilled sausages, Mediterranean dishes, pizza, or slow-roasted vegetables.
Cheers
